There are a few day of holidays in conjunction of Hari Raya Haji and New Year. I went to Kuala Rompin with Karen, Liow and some new friends – Ying, Son, Loo, Joshua and Wan Tin. We took off on 30th Dec and reached Sommerset Colonial resort about 1.45pm. The resort is very quiet, most rooms are unoccupied. Because of the flood that just happened 2 weeks ago, the swimming pool was closed for cleaning. The beach and the sea are dirty and not suitable for swimming. The place seems like not very well maintained. Karen describes it as “old folks home” and I think I agree with her. Although there are tennis court, badminton court, ping pong table in the resort, we need to pay if we would like to use it. We went out to Kuala Rompin town to have lunch. But the town is quiet as well, not able to find a good place for lunch. We had lunch at the Malay stalls and went back to the resort. Luckily Karen, Ying and Liow had bought foods for BBQ. At night, we had our BBQ dinner beside the swimming pool. There are a lot of foods – chicken wings, drumsticks, sausages, potatoes, fish, prawn etc. We nearly finished all the foods, only left some drumsticks and chicken wings.
The next day, we went to Endau Rompin. It was about 1 hour journey from Kuala Rompin. We found out that the park was closed. However, we still drove the car into the park. Joshua and Liow claimed that they saw tiger. Actually they only saw the tail of the tiger and it was disappeared into the jungle very soon. We swim at Seri Mahkota Waterfall. As the park was closed, we were the only group at the waterfall. The waterfall is nice and beautiful.We played cards at night, countdown and then played cards again until 3.30am. Hehe….played cards from 2006 until 2007. We checked out the room at 1st Jan 1pm and back to KL.
Maybe because of the devastating flood, the place seems abandoned. The place is boring and I don’t think I will recommend friends to go there.
