Pirates of the Kuala Kubu Baru part 1

Its been a year since we first heard of the white water rafting activity in Kuala Kubu. Since hari raya 2008 actually when wafi told us and promised to organize an outing for the rest of us. Old story.. but wafi tak buat2 pun :p. Bz man sekarang since his new posting in MISC (yg betul2 handle lanun) ceo's office (org penting).

Nonetheless, i berjaya convince some friends/panglima/hulubalang to take up our lanun(rafting) challenge. There were 12 hulubalang's yg berani menyahut cabaran ada berani: Monsterous Maz, Horor Hazman, Hantunya Haziq, Furious Faz, Spanking Shafik, Shahrul Sparrow (adik jack sparrow), Flying (Sinking sepatutnya) Dutchman Wafi, Loco (giler) Lukman, Scary Shah, Alamak Agus, Powernya Pakli and lastly Panglima Gagah Perkasa Zul. FYI, yuran lanun challenge ini adalah rm180 tidak termasuk insurance (semua tak takutkan nyawa)

Berdasarkan treasure map yg dibekalkan kami perlu berkumpul di kuala kubu post office at 9am. so we decided to gather at pelabuhan may first (shahruls house) at 730am lepas tu tolak beramai naik van scooby-do shahrul (color je tak ranggi) and shah's pickup ninja turtle (bekas pizza banyak). Walaupun dutchman wafi sudah sms "bro.. aku pukul 6 dah bangun" he still was the last one to arrive at 745am eventhough kalau jogging rumah dia only takes 2 minutes (yes 2 minutes .. even wafi yg jog). Wafi had to by breakfast for the house (family man + responsible). Sometimes we wonder pasal apalah wafi takde girlfriend.

Going there was an eye opener. We had to go through Bukit Beruntung (sambil nyanyi lagu along bukit beruntung). Gilerrr Horrrorr... There were so many rundown abandon buildings rasa macam kat bosnia/serbia. We said Osama lepak sini mesti happy nya. Dont know what/who did wrong here. Sedih org yg have to stay there.. rasa macam kena tipu je. Once we reached Kuala Kubu we were trying to find the post office. Not suprising, we got lost. Ada lah org tu after seeing all the buildings tulis kuala kubu and dah lepas town.. dia kata straight lagi 2km baru jumpa kuala kubu.. tak jumpa2 pun.. kuala lipis adalah lagi 150km. Lagi sorang tu.. dah sampai post office baru cakap " haa.. ni lah dia post office" (duh..we all can read) sedangkan harap dia yg tunjuk jalan.

After breakfast, tukar costume semua.. we were on our way to the entry point of the expedition. It was about 2 km from the Sg Selangor dam. From there we can see the water release at the dams discharge. So we knew the water was going to be great. We started of (while tunggu driver hantar kereter at the exit point) by hanyuting diri sendiri upstream. I got a little excited and hanyutkan diri awal2 while trying to join the others (tapi tak sengaja and tak larat nak lawan the current). We were all suprised at the strenght of the water but we loved it.

After sorang2 kena collect downstream, we started the safety briefing and stuff. The best part of it was the hand signals.... alamak.. gtg will continue part 2 soon hopefully with the pics.
