Due to clashing exam schedules and etc. We might go on the 18th or 19th instead. The problem is also due to the unknown D-Date (Maybank Rollout) which could be 9/4 or 9/11. Whichever weekend it doesn't fall on however, we'll be heading down to Malacca.

Here's the menu
-Noodles with spam
-Coffee, hot chocolate and tea!
-Shapes
-Chocolate!
-Popcorn!
-Marshmallows
-Cold coconuts (after the hike!)
Are you ready yet? The plan is to depart by 6:30am... Currently, 3 cars are confirmed with approximately 9 people.

Yes, you read that right.
A combination of a nice jungle hike, a cold swim, and obviously hot food.
Tentative dates are July 31st/August 1st (Sat/Sun).
New alternative date options:
August 14th (Saturday) or August 28/29 (Sat/Sun)
If you're driving your own car, please meet at the Sg Besi Overhead rest stop at precisely 6:45AM.
We will depart at 7:00am sharp, whether you're there or not.

Well, from ten participants to one and back to five and then back to two and on...
Final count was five people and although we departed much later than our original plan, we still made good time, arriving at the parking area by 8:35am. The hike started about 8:50 and we arrived around 11am at the second falls. Coffee, instant noodles and "long yoke" with bread was our brunch which was followed by a dip into the water. The temperature of the water will remind you why this place is called Chiling Falls! Unfortunately, it started to rain about 1:20pm so the return trek took place mostly in the rain. Lunch or rather high tea was "Bak Kut Teh".
The photos can be viewed here.

The Chiling Trip is still on and last minute interested parties are still welcome...
At the time of typing this, there are 5 confirmed people, with perhaps one or two more unconfirmed.

We're back! It's tiring, it took a long time, but I think I can say for everyone that it was a smashing good time. The photos are being 'worked' on, I mean considering some R-rated material and all that sort of thing. I'll edit this entry to add a link to the photos in a bit.
