Councillors' Trip - You zump I don't zump!
We went caving at Gua Tempurung Caves the next day. I'd say it was the best thing that happened during the trip. The limestone formed, the stalagtites and stalagmites, the marble, as well as the patterns formed by bat's poop... The communists used the cave to hide away last time so there were metal bars and holes in the walls. Hope I'm able to get the pictures then I'll post them. After that, we went to Kellie's castle, accompanied by a guide who kept cracking lame jokes. Anyway, a little history... this William Kellie guy built the castle for his wife and sad to say, they didn't even get to live in it together cuz he died. There was also a moat surrounding the castle and a long underground tunnel leading all the way to some temple. We didn't go to the tunnel and the wine cellar as they said snakes inhabited there. Anyway our bus was stopped by traffic police because we were travelling too slowly and they said we were suspicious... what logic!
Water rafting on the third day, I believe my raft had the most casualties/accidents/fun/whatever...hehe. It was 4 students to a raft with a guide and teacher. Not as fun as the Padas river one at Mt K though. Jo fell out of the raft, almost went under the raft and suffocated. I fell onto Edward, my oar whacking his neck/shoulder. Then Jo fell out again at another rapid when our raft totally submerged under the water and I quickly stuck out my oar for her to grab. Then the guide shouted at us to get out of the raft and climb onto the slippery rock and jump into the water to body-raft. Mr Ho's raft came behind and stopped at the rock we were on, nearly knocking me down since I was the last to jump. And he wanted to pull me into his raft when I was about to jump, thinking I had slipped, so I got a shock. (Mr Ho demanded a choc from me for "saving" my life...wow!) We were the most enthusiastic and united group cuz we paddled together, fell together and sang together...yes..sang.. =D. The guide and teacher joined us too. Anyway the amazing thing is not even one of us in my raft got so much as a scratch. Only a blue-black which Jo came to realise only today (3 days later...so chi[2] dun[4]). Other rafts had people with injuries. Syazanah nearly whammed her face onto a rock but a guide shielded her and ended up with a swollen hand. B low nearly drowned under the raft. The water was too shallow and there were too many rocks. Anyway after that, we visited an ophanage for about 10 min just to kill time, and took a group picture at the padang, then we took our bus to KL for shopping at chinatown. If I'm not wrong, a motorcycle banged into the rear of our bus, at my side, but the driver didn't know and continued. All his barang barang fell off the bike and he skidded and fell off. Luckily he was ok and I saw some people helping him up. At chinatown, we didn't get anything cuz the smoke was suffocating us. The whole time, we were hunting for toilets for Eu Jin.
On the last day, we went to the timesquare themepark. The rollercoaster was supposedly the thrillride of the place but it was over all too soon. No kick sia...ahaha. Jo and I were the craziest amoung the sec 3s, taking crazy giddy rides continuously until lunch time. We had hotdogs for lunch and Chai Yan's thoughts started running wild.
All the meals, we were fed real well and the food was quite good. Lodging was at a 3 and 4 star hotel. The sec 3s did our inspections and mini-lectures with the sec 1s. We went to tomato's and koa's room to discuss issues and tickle b low. The teachers also stayed up to watch the match of Man U versus Middlesbrough. Haha...what a thrashing. Mr Azman almost cried...just joking. =P Yea...so that was it for our trip. We're looking forward to OBS now =).
