Day two of Independence weekend headed to Bentong in Pahang for a beernic. Dats like a picnic. With beer. Crew of Joyce, Mad Max, Joleen, my bro Anil and Joleen’s mutt Brandy. Why does she call her dog Brandy when she hates brandy?

Anyway, stocked up on extra strong beers from Jaya Grocer and hit da road. There was a major variety – Damburger, Haywards, Hollandia, Godfather, Luxus and Franziskaner. And Pirate! Haha

Joyce rummages thru the bounty

My job was to keep Anil the driver well-fed..

..who had a permanent smile on his face

Found some kick-ass lemang with amazing lamb rendang by d highway. Might head there to just to get some more! Highly recommended. (There's signage. It's a few km before Genting exit)

Max cracks a cold one while Joyce digs into d lemang

We arrive at Chamang Falls, Bentong (pix by Joleen)

River-crossing with d booze stock

Happy duckies

Drink n swim - more fun than drink n drive

Posers. Joyce and tuak

There were a bunch of people BBQ-ing north of us on a little hill. I decide to check em out coz they look like Sarawakians.

Coz Sarawakians know how to party. And drink.

We get along like bros and hangout d rest of d day with them. They offer us food and booze, and we party! They were quite pleased when we offer them Joleen’s tuak and some bubbly.

They were well organized – there’s a CD player n speakers, and even patin fish! No langkau tho.

Havin an intense discussion with a dude called Valentine. Drinking-related of course. The idea is to take a swig of whisky, then chase with ice-cream soda

Fuckdatshit. Do 'em together

Dis shit should be renamed Russian Roulette. (Hmmm, both hands occupied, must have taken dis picture with my mouth)

Not sure what was goin on here with the bubbly. Some Sarawakian sacrifice

Probably bamboo fish. Good shit

Shut your dam mouth when u're being grilled, u patin

Basically, got totalled with our new friends.

Dont recall much bout the ‘driving back’ part.

Designated-driver senget, still with a smile on his face

Ended up at some foam party at MarketPlace. Did not execute the Hoegaarden happy hours plan at Library on Monday afternoon. Break time.
