Woke up at 6:15am this morning, clean myself up, took whatever that is needed, head to Siewmei’s house to pick her up, then head to Andrew’s place. Yup, this is another one of those mini shooting trip. After a few wrong turns, we finally reached FRIM. The place that we turned wrongly into was Taman Botani FRIM. These 2 are places are both under FRIM, but their entrances are in different places, and I don’t think they’re connected.

After we drove for some time into FRIM, finally we reach a starting point of a jungle trekking path.

We walked up some stairs for a while, and we reached a platform, already we’re feeling the jungle is no joke. Leeches have started attacking me and Siewmei saw this huge millipede! It was very gross for me.

After some considerations, we decided it was too dangerous for us to continue. Haha. Because it rains also the night before, so leeches should be quite active.

On the way down back to where we park our car. Luckily this FRIM place is quite big, so we have somewhere else to shoot around. We’ll come back and conquer this trek next time.

Seems like FRIM itself is a community on it’s own. Houses are seen everywhere.

Yup, Siewmei and I wore our flip-flops for the jungle trekking.

Please notice there will be a lot of photos of plants and trees if you continue scrolling down.

We drove around and found this place. The Malay Tea House. So we walked into it and see if there are any nice stuffs for us to shoot.

This is what she’s shooting in front of the red house.

The whole roof of this building is covered by plants.

A small hut for you to enjoy some Malay tea?

Walking into the Malay Tea House itself.

Traditional lamps to light up the night.

We were starting to shoot stuffs around the inside of the Malay Tea House, but then one of the lady worker walked pass and told us no shooting. Because if we want to shoot, we’ll have to pay RM50. She was quite rude.
