Nepal 3.1 - SARANGKOT-

The day start at 4am as we wanna be on time for the 4.45am trip to Sarangkot, the legendary Sunrise of Anupunar Himalaya Range

4.45am - the driver was waiting for us but Tour guide Suresh hasn’t show his face yet.

I remember the name "Suresh" because of HEROES, Dr.Suresh!

The driver called him and Suresh replied "coming". Coming for Ah-Cha can mean anything from zero to infinity.

5am - Suresh still not in sight. The driver called him again, this time there was no one answering his phone! The typical rushie Lian insisted we leave without Suresh, echoed by all the girls. Sunrise only mah, we don’t need the guide.

5.15 am - Suresh arrived in Honda ex-5 look-alike motorbike. Aiy0! Typical Ah Cha time again, understandable! LOL!

But this Ah-Cha is different le! He got a reason lol!

Suresh said it’s our watch that were 15minutes faster not because he was late! Wakakakaka, it was totally new to me, I mean this explanation! Although, I find it a bit ridiculous but it’s still a creative idea. Five of us adjust our time according to the clock in Katmandu Airport and it’s the same as the driver as well but Suresh insist our time is faster.

For 2 straight Verrrrrry early morning we have been "Ah-Cha-ed", that what the Malay saying is all about
“Dalam kandang kambing mengebek, dalam kandang lembu menglembu!”
So In Civilized Land be Civilized, In Ah-Cha-Land be ah-Cha-like.
Be ah cha like so that we won’t lose our temper.

Beside the regular electricity disturbances in Nepal, there were also Road Tolls that make me felt SABAH-like. You gotta pay for some kinda makeshift toll gates by the locals there as you enter this kampung land!
Looks like gangster to me…
This is what we called kampung-gangster, lol!

When we reach the top of Sarangkot, it still dark and I was eagerly waiting for the legendary magnificent Sunrise View of thE annupurna himalaya range.
I expect the top of the hills to be calm and serene place but there were coffee, scarf, gold ads and lotta others souvenirs on sales. The fresh air was spoil by those idiots local who smoke, these idiots smokers were trying to impress the girls as they couldn’t keep their eyes off them. They are not even 1% of James Dean and smoking won’t transform them into one, stupid idiots.

The much anticipated Sunrise didnt came, much to my disappointment. aiy0! All this sleep sacrifives for nothing.
It was too cloudy that day... not even a glimpse of an ice peak was visible.





We were not the only one dissapointed, this two of Taiwanese Ladies Tai Chi there frustration out! LOL!
