Felda Residence Hot Spring, Sungkai.

It's January 2015 and you know what month is it? MY BIRTHDAY! And it's the last year to celebrate my 20s birthday. FMLGG!!!!!! (fcuk-my-life-gao-gao). When I was younger I wished to have a big birthday bash and have a huge celebration like a celebrity, vain pot of me. But as I grow older, I prefer a low key celebration. Just a nice dinner with the people that matters most will do. And thankfully my last 20s birthday fell on a Saturday, woohoo! If I was still in my early 20s, I would have partied til the break of dawn. But old fart like me opted for a relaxing birthday getaway to the Felda Residence Hot Spring! Yeah, old fart needs to dip her foot into the hot spring water for some blood circulation therapy.

We paid RM700 for a villa that comes with a private jacuzzi. We were amazed by the size of the villa, we can roll from one end to another. It's obviously too huge for 2 person, I can fit one kampung inside.

We got Villa 3 complete with our very own porch.


The mega huge bedroom where it can easily fit more than 10 person.

The bathroom with bath tub.

The living room.

The backyard with the hot spring jacuzzi.

The kitchen.

If you are planning to pay a visit here, there are a few things that you need to consider.

FOOD
We didn't know that the villa comes with a kitchen complete with utensils and stove. If we did, we would have brought stuff and do masak-masak. Little did we know that we were stranded in a deserted place in the middle of the oil palm estate and food is a huge problem.

We ended up driving 30 minutes to a nearby road side stall selling Malay food with lots of flies! HOLY CRAP! The amount of flies were so scary I tell you! I was digging through the stash of fried chicken when suddenly a fly flew out. It must have trapped within the fried chicken for God knows how long! Worst part was, we saw fly eggs!!!!!! OMFGMAMABBQ!!!!!!! We had no choice but to buy a few (of course without fly eggs) or else we would have to eat grass for dinner. We had to inspect the chicken like doing autopsy before consuming them. Thank God no laosai.

PUBLIC HOT SPRING 
It can be very crowded at noon time especially during the weekend. And since Malaysia is a hot country, the hot spring makes you 2x hotter (body temperature wise) during noon time. Be prepared to sweat like the air cond is leaking!

Hot spring is also supposed to be relaxing, but some people prefer to ruin the serenity by noises, dumb jokes and stupid demeanor. We were dipping our foot in a pool about 50 degree celcius, burning hot no joke. One man decided to jump inside the pool and sit in the water and said, "Try try! So syiok!" =______= God bless your balls.

The next morning we woke up early for breakfast at 7.30am and went to enjoy the hot spring again . The best part was there was nobody! The weather was chilly, the wind was blowing and we gotta soak in the therapeutic hot spring in peace without an idiot trying to boil his own balls *thumbs up*

40-45 degree celcius, I managed to touch the water surface only.

Boiling myself.

The husband so super, could dip half of his feet inside. Look at the steam!

Finally managed to adapt to the temperature.

The hot spring was mine alone, peace!

Back to nature, I can almost hear the birds chirping.

The water was so hot it can boil an egg within 5 minutes!

If you ever visit this place, you must try the egg boiling. I'm not sure if it's just me, the eggs boiled with the natural spring water tasted differently good! I made half boiled eggs and unlike the normal eggs we boiled with hot tap water, this eggs tasted much.....I-DON'T-KNOW-HOW-TO-EXPLAIN. You got to try it yourself.

TIME FOR THE HIGHLIGHT! PRIVATE HOT SPRING JACUZZI!

I saw squirrels and dragonflies!

I will definitely go back again if I'm hungry for a short trip and wish to get back to nature. But most probably with a bunch of friends because the size of the humongous villa is a waste of space for 2 person. And most of all, I'm going to bring stuff to cook or even do steamboat! No more road side chicken with fly eggs!

You can visit their website here for more information like address and facilities. But I suggest to book your room via agoda.com simply because they have better rates. The villa I rented is RM1200 at normal rate! ENJOY!

PEACE OUT!
