The Last One Week (Holiday for the Boys) - Tekam Plantation Resort

We decided very much in the last minute last week to bring the boys for a holiday as they had only three weeks before going back to school.  Derrick had bought some MATTA fair vouchers in September so we called Felda's Tekam Plantation Resort for 2 nights' stay (Dec 15-17) and Awana Kijal (Dec 17-19).  Derrick also called his aunt Cherry at Dungun to say that we will be coming over for a couple of nights.

We started packing on Monday, clothes, fishing gear, food stuff and whatever else needed for a long driving holiday.  The car was packed in on Monday night and we all left for Jerantut Tuesday morning at 7am.  We reached Temerloh Rest Area for breakfast at 9am before we got off at Chenoh Exit to travel on the Jenka to Jerantut trunk road.  We passed so many Felda estates in Jenka, one of the earliest Felda settlement.

We got to Jerantut and realised that we should have turned right instead of left at the T-junction leading to Jerantut on the west and Maran on the right.  We doubled back and I got so stressed up because Derrick said it was my fault we missed the turn.  I broke down in the car at Tekam.  We got to our chalet No 49 at 2pm and there was no electricity!  Oh no, power failure.
