Assalamualaikum
For Emak's birthday this year, we decided to go to Sungkai to experience the famous Felda Hot Spring. Emak loves secluded kampung area and hot springs, so she loves the idea. She was very excited. She woke everyone up early in the morning and demanded us to get ready. Of course we didn't listen haha. I mean, we live in Rawang so Sungkai is like, sekangkang kera je and we can only checked in at 3 pm so to our lazy self logic, "nak buat ape lama2 kat Sungkai?". After a lot of negotiation, we leave the house at 10am. Even that is too early for me. If it were up to me, i'll leave at 12pm and reach just in time for lunch :P

If I'm being honest, I was skeptical. Normally, all this viral and famous places are only "indah khabar dari rasa," but this one, at least for the dishes that we took, they were good. (Disclaimer: I am not a picky eater and quite easy to please). My favourite was the daging masak kicap kot nama dia, that's the best for me, although to everyone in my family, it's on the saltier side. You can't blame a girl for liking kicap :P
How to go about the restaurant:
1. Find a seat first.
2. Queue for food. There are multiple stations. The grill section, the lauk section, and the rice section. Nak cepat, divide and conquer, apa guna adik ramai2 :P.
3. Kalau ada adik lebih lagi, suruh beratur dekat tempat air pulak. Air boleh beli dalam jug atau individual cup.
4. Kalau anda anak sulung, sit back and enjoyyy.

Felda Residence Hot Spring
When I wanted to book a villa back in July, the villas were all fully booked till December. So dah alang-alang, I booked it on February terus for Emak's birthday....but when we arrived, a lot of the villas were empty? Not sure why in the website it's fully booked though.
Our villa comes with a private outdoor jacuzzi, which we love, but in the morning, while we were driving around the area, we saw this one villa with the jacuzzi right in the middle of the house rather than outside, damn that's cooler! (Other people's thing always look better -__________-)
There is two big pools in the area. One is the hot water and the other is cold water.
There is this area called Laman Terapi. The path is made out of small pebbles, the one that Faiz stepped on in the picture. Of course, you won't find me here either, it's so painful for a person with low pain tolerance like me. -______-
Speaking of celup-celup kaki, I have this small foot corn in between my toes, I had it since Redang which is like one year plus ago, I am not so sure what is the science behind it, because I celup my kaki a lot in the hot water around the area, it fall off guys!!! I no longer has the foot corn! Now my feet is smooth like a baby. gittew.
No wifi turns out to be a blessing in disguise. All we did that two days in Sungkai were talking. All of us would just gather at the jacuzzi, berendam or celup2 kaki je, and talk. I remember feeling really peaceful and happy during the trip. Something that I don't realise until the trip, with the existence of wifi, we could all be at the same space but not communicating to one another. Back at home for example, though all of us were in the living room, Me and Dikyah would be on our ipads watching k-dramas or variety shows, Faiz would play games on his phone, Emak would be on her phone too, browsing facebook and replying to her group whatsapp and Farid, he'll be watching the tv. None of us talk! -__________-
Of course as soon as we get back, we resume our normal routine, unfortunately, vacation mood doesn't last very long lol, but it's still nice to take a pause, once in a while, and just chill, with each other. I guess this is me saying, geng, nak pergi mana pulak lepas ni?

This is the cold water pool. Why no picture of the hot one you asked, it's hot, of course you won't find me there.
You could boil eggs in the hot spring too if you don't mind right beside this, orang tengah celup celup kaki
