I typed a long long post about this but I lost it :( So I'm going to keep it really short now.
My second camping in 2021 was at Bernam Nature Hut, Hulu Bernam, with preparation done by old friends @yiju_camp. So thankful for the service. It really saved a lot of preparation time and we only have to bring along foods and personal items!
A few things that're making this camping unforgettable...
It is drizzling most of the time, just one good luck that the first day wasn't bad. So thankful that we managed to get home before the place is flooded. #wishalldisastersgooffasap #besafe
Again it is all the songs and the sound of the nature (cuz the tents are just next to the river) that soothe our souls. Perfect match. 💙
I made a video out of it because sometimes I'm out of words. One day we look back we are going to be so thankful that we have created silly memories like this.
Not an expert in BBQ so... I burnt the corns. 😌
Raining all the time on the second day
Vicky's baby is not afraid of the freezing cold water at all ❤
It's also a food adventure!

Camping has always been in my to-do list for 2021. And by chance... I joined Leanne and her friends to Sojuk Riverside for a two-days escape. I was bringing zero expectation, it turned out to be a memorable one. Sojuk Riverside is located at Batang Kali, Selangor. It costs RM50 per camp site, if we do not want to clean the trash we created ourselves, the person-in-charge will take care of them with a fee of RM10 per camp site.
Sojuk Riverside just started to operate in end 2020 There is a river just right beside the camp site
The two days of drizzling plus a period of heavy rain with thunderstorms, and we only have one waterproof groundsheet for 2 tents (What an experience)
The random lofi and jazz music and favourite songs from a really nice speaker among the greens
The sound of the nature and the beautiful sky where we lied down rolled over and looked up (You really got to try it once! It will be even better if it's a starry starry night)
The open space shower area without door (There is only one bathroom with closed door and only two toilet)
No plug for phone charging, the electricity supply is merely from a small wooden cottage, social media disconnection
The random conversations with strangers
The outdoor cooking sessions (It was really fun and all the foods taste really good!)
There is a distance between the camp site and the toilet, waking up in the middle of the night with the urge of wanting to pee is suffering (the weather got cold after 3am)
Thank you D for the nice shots :)
Nature and music are definitely perfect match
I've got volleyball with us! That's the childhood memories :P
BBQ during camping is mandatory
Perfectly barbequed!
Big Breakfast
A nice scrambled eggs could be added with sweetened condensed milk. I was so hesitated to add that in but I got convinced that I have to try it out LOL. It turned out to be good :)
There is a video of the making of this chao mian 😆
Making perfect pancakes to the perfect texture and shape need a lot of patience. Having breakfast like this can really brighten up the whole day 💛
This was from the abang who stayed in this camp site. I was surprised because I only chatted with him twice in 2 days. Anyway I've got one of my favourite comfort foods. Thank you stranger.
Thank to friend's friends, I've learned what to prepare for an adventurous camping (not glamping) in the future. I think they don't mind me sharing the secret recipes here...
Camp & Water resistant groundsheet
Sleeping bag/ Camping mat/ Yoga mat (to be placed inside the camp)
Dishwashing gel & sponge & unwanted clothes to wipe things
Camping table & chair set
Tissue paper
Rubbish bags
Rope to hang clothes & towel/ Hanger
Ice box/ Food container
Mineral water
Personal care items (clothes, towels etc)/ Mosquito repellent
Powerbank (the more the merrier)
Sojuk Riverside is just less than 10 minutes drive from World of Phalaenopsis. It is the largest Phalaenopsis orchid producer offering the widest range of colors with thousands of blooms everyday. There is a lovely cafe in there, a hidden cafe that let us dine among beautiful orchids. The menu is with limited food choices for main course, but it is a nice place to chill and to enjoy coffee or other beverages, and it serves cakes as well. I should bring my mom here because she is a plant lover.
Was really living in the present #natureatitsbest
It feels so 'clean' to detach from things and to regain mindfulness in life, to have a pause and to reflect, to continue counting blessings and be grateful for whatever that comes into our lives.
