More on....WE HAD FUN

The much awaited jungle trekking finally became a reality last Sunday. Ten of us, Jeremy, Ming Ern, Jing Lin, Christine, Pei Wern, Mark Ng, Seng Loh, Sara, Ben and myself met at 8am at SMKJ DJ. Too bad so many of you could not join us...I nearly couldn't go myself. After breakfast, we headed straight to Hutan Lipur Kanching.

Being as adventurous as we are, we took the more challenging trail. It was sloppy and slippery. We reached a pit stop where there is a waterfall but we were not satisfied with it. We wanted to trek further up to find the highest waterfall because Pei Wern described it so interestingly and excite all of us. Thus, Ben and his 3 heroes (leave it to you to guess) left us to explore the trail to the top and did not return for a long time. We waited impatiently and decided to go ahead on our own. Unfortunately, we were confused as to which path Ben took and decided to return where we came from. While waiting for Ben and his company, we took our poser pictures. We also could not resist the tempting cool and clear water calling to us so we decided not to wait but to play in the water. Jing Lin almost died but 'resurrected' with Ben's help. I leave Ben to tell you the details of his heroic act.

The most terrifying experience that still gives me shudders were the so many leeches that got on to our legs and one even got on Ben's stomach. They were all over on the rocks beside the waterfall. We were like 'living sacrifices' to these eerie and gross wriggly things. We screamed and screamed while scrambling to put salt on them. I can laugh now remembering how Pei Wern was jumping all around, flipping and flapping trying to flick those leeches off....but somehow, she was still beaten by 4, Ben 3, Sara 1, me 1, Seng Loh 1, Ming Ern 2.... what about you Mark, Jeremy, Christine and Jing Lin?

Thanks Sara for passing me those plastic bags in school today...my mum almost fainted when she opened them...the wet shirts and socks stink like they just got dug out from the longkang...and they are not mine! My mum washed them all and the owners please claim from Bernice Launderette this Saturday...=)
* A white tee shirt with the word "FORCE"
* A red tee shirt (Jing Lin's if I'm not wrong)
* A pair of black Nike socks

Yeah....we had so much fun!
