Strenuous & Challenging - Gua Tempurung in memory

Its 8.03am Monday morning. the memories is still fresh in my mind. I am missing the moments so much. here's the story.

my Saturday starts as early as 5am. as AjK memasak, i need to prepare sandwich and cekodok. Mak helped me out. i love MAK!! Around 6.30am, all is complete. so, i rushed upstairs to get ready. around 7am, i am out from the house.

at 7.30am, everyone has gathered and off we go. i thot of asking Irfan to drive, but he said he is not ready. ;( cait! then, in the car, he broke the news that he woke up late and thus is feeling a bit blur on everything. haha. apa lah. we made a stop at Juru to pick up Nando and Ruby. then around 8am, off we go! Base on my F1 driving skill (ecewah), we reached Gua Tempurung around 10am. The first impression is some sort similar of Bukit Larut. without hesitation, led by BB fazz, we found our tour guide and heads in.

our guide, zairul, is a bit strange to me. sometimes he talk to himself (complain about something), he got a poker face and also moves like lipas kudung(very impressive). Once we enter, the first thing, we need to do is wade thru water. We all loved it! The water is very cool and clear as well. Let me keep the journey short as pics speak a 1000 words. i dun have the pic yet, but will post it once i have it yeah.

along the way, bb emme and my shoe's tapak started to peel off. haha. (we bought the same shoe just a few days before, its cheap(Rm25) and made of rubber) . lucky, we have bb zleenz who brought rubber band(along with benang, jarum etc-what a preparation). once fix, the shoe is as good as new. =P

before we went, i've heard fiza's stories on the sliding and lubang jamban thing. the sliding sounds horrorful. we need to wait a few metres a way when another group is doing it. we can hear screams, claps and laughter. its a scary wait i tell you. when it is our turn, it does looks scary. people keep telling me its 90degrees turn. but NO it is not. its a bit slanting. our group is matched with a primary school scouts group. and we need to let them go first. so, while helping the kids, i guess my tremor is uplifted little by little. =) and my slide goes well. yeay!
next was lubang jamban. being tall, its actually quite easy for me. YAB rash stayed to grab our legs and ensure our safety. BRAVO YAB rash!

the most impressive and best momemts is when we need to climb the stairs up to the peak. i thank my gym days as i managed to pull myself thru.yeay!the step down have a very magnifcent + awesome + fantastic + fantasyical view. its like walking in a mystic forest in one of the lord of the rings movies. or like walking under the sea passing by a wrecked pirate ship. seriously!!!

the walk out is relaxing. we made a few stops for photos. and lastlyyyyyyyy... before the exit, we stopped at a pool and have our last berendam session.

i think its about 3pm when we walked out. mandi, tukar baju, solat, makan beger, makan jagung and then heads off to our camp.

part 2- to be continue...........................

more pixxie

as promised. here u go.

Part 2 – Camping and Berendam.

Erm. I wonder if anybody took the sungai pic? I am regretting that I don’t take the pic now. ;(

So, once we reached the camp site, we started to unpack and choose our tents. There’s a bit confusion at start on which tent shud be given to gals n guys. =P in the end, gals take the exact opposite tent.

Once settled, we had a quick tea break before we head off for a volleyball match, as what BB zleenz dreamt. The fitnessfirst team vs the nonfitness, and guess what, we lost all the 3 games. Hahahahahaha. Oh well, being fit does not mean u are great at volleyball. =P although, we do have historical moments when Bulat did some cool shots!

Once done with games, off we head to the sungai! It’s a very wide one with strong cool currents. Gals choose the front spot while guys heads off to the back. I think its about 7pm when we came up and took another bath at the shower. It brings back memory of hostel life, mandi kolah! Once prim and proper we head to a pondok cum surau and solat berjemaah with Bulat as imam. Due to a big group, we need to split into two, and the next one is with Johnny as imam.

Before heading off to dinner, we calibrate on the night activity and all agreed to have a game. Ape ntah nama game tu yg org buat aksi lepas tu kita teka apa benda yg digambarkan. Hikhik.
Dinner was ayam masak kurma and sayur kacang panjang. Then, came a few rangers(I think). They brought durian and horror stories. Hahaha. Only half of the group stayed for the stories while the rest heads off to pondok waiting for the game to start.

Sessi game lasted for hrs, we try not too laugh too hard as its already late nite(~10pm). Kuakuakua. The highlighted moments is when the other group wanted to kenakan Johnny by giving him the song entitled “Sexy Notty Bitch”. He tried hard to portray a bitchy character but we only get to guess the Sexy word. =P Around 11pm, me and Melly already sleepy. So off we went to bed while the rest continue the game.

Part 3 – Durian Durian…coming up.
