Perak trip

it doesn't feel like a sunday.
probably cause i skipped blaja again. oops.
ouh k. i'm back. again.

the trip was refreshing. quite exhilarating.
1st night was boring.
well, mostly because it was spent sleeping on the bus. (about 8 hours. yes. that's right. that long)
we reached gua tempurung.
had breakfast. then off for the beginning of a GREAT day.
we went caving. which was so extremely fun. it was an adventure i never had before. at one point, we had to go down a really steep staircase that was at least a few stories high. [ i panicked like mad. legs shaking like mad] we also slided down 30 feet down. on cold hard rock. wow. that was amazing. i was scared of course. am not a fan of heights at all. but hei, we all got to overcome our fears sometime or another. don't we?

that was the reason i love this trip. i had to face some of my fears. i guess it was one of those things that you can come out and say 'it changed my life forever. i became a different, better person.' haha. kinky eh?

after lunch we were sent to our accomodation at gopeng nature resort. well, it wasn't a resort. more like a kampung-like hostel. i was alright with it. it just seemed like being back in kedah. well, minus the tv of course. =D we got changed and when to meet our guides for the rafting trip. me, liying, roy and dexter together with mr ng got max. yup. kute, small, strong max. haha. we started with body surfing. then when on to white water rafting. OMG. it was extremely, supremely amazing. absolutely fantastic. i wouldn't mind doing it all over again. well, minus the part that i almost drowned of course. the rush of current. simply indescribable.

well, i'm embarrassed to say that we slept REALLY early that night. we [the girls] were really tired from the day's activities. me, wid and shammm talked awhile before snoring our asses off. [excuse my french.]

the next day was relatively slower then the previous. the ride to a nearby kampung was wild. rough roads. we trekked up to find some rafflesia. not so stinky since it was not fully developed. we went back to the conservation centre to help clean up. we swept, mopped, scrubbed, scraped and wiped everything in the place. we did a good job considering i think that the place hasn't been clean since it was built. ok. sorry. but yeah. we had fun. then we took a long trek to a not-so-nearby waterfall. haha. the guide was going on about how it was just ahead. haha. man. he was 'right'. woah. it was refreshing. the waterfall that is. it was like natural air-con. just perfect calming nature. hmm. i loved it. got bitten by leeches. fun.

we when back to the centre and continued with the 'decorating' of the place. well, felt good to help people who really needed it. had dinner. watched some local cultural performances. performed for them. haha. then went back on what was an even wider ride. haha. sucked up to the teachers. *kwang2* then we watched a slideshow of the pictures taken on the rafting trip. we bought the cd of pictures. to be shared among all. and bought a shirt. freshened up. and had some fun talking to the girls. this time slept later of course. wid was sick. poor her. missed her dearest. =D and shamm.. haha. kute lah u.

last day. before we drove back. we went up north to visit the local hotspring. the experience was something new and refreshing. since we never have this kind of stuff in S'pore. so a couple of us when into the big pool. the one we can go in full body. woot. the water was pretty warm. and plus they put some mini-waterfalls which totally act as a massage for me. i'm more into 'natural' massage. quite sensitive to massages done by people. weird eh?

then. it was a really long drive back. damn long and sian. me and shamm when crazy for awhile. got high and started singing stupid songs. since we couldn't sleep anymore. =D was fun. there was a jam at the 2nd link. and we didnt really move for quite a few minutes. so by the time we reached woodlands MRT, my parents and sister were already waiting to go have dinner. so we said goodbyes and i was off to simpang bedok. ahh. yummieh. good food. but i didn't even finish half of my food. somehow i was too full or maybe too tired to eat. so bab finished up for me. haha.

ok. so that was the trip. wished i had the talents to write better so that i'll be able to further explain my experiences. a story painted by words. mightily cool.
