Malaysia Week 09




Morning air brushed against my face, the taste of fresh air seems different to me than back in KL. I've always wanted to go camping, sleeping in tents, roasting marshmallows, making s'mores and do things like hiking and all the stuff I've always heard about. Well here i am now ready to face the challenge and experience things that i have never done before. First on our first day when we arrive to KKB, (the bus ride only takes about one and a half hour) on our first agenda we went abseiling down a waterfall. As exciting as it sounds i was anxious if i fall and hurt myself but luckily it didn't stop me from trying this thrilling activity. We took a bus to the place we're going abseiling, although the bus ride was short the winding road starting to make me feel weird but i got over it as soon i step out of the bus and smell the fresh air revives me. We saw the guides going down the waterfall, they made it looks so easy and seems like they have no troubles at all. When it was my turn to try going down as steady as i could. The rocks that formed the waterfall was so slippery, during on my way down i fell a lot of times, probably more than 5 times. But at the end I'm proud that i did it at least i didn't back out like someone.(i will not tell any names)


As days gone by i got used to bathe in the river, washing the dishes, sleeping in tents but using the toilet is really uncomfortable and not comfy and I'm still trying to appreciate that i don't have to dig up our own toilet. The toilet were dug up and covered around with some kind of fabric around it and every time anyone used the toilet, the person have to covered it up with soil. After a while the toilet becomes filled up and that's when the flies came, they were so many of them and it was disgusting.

Well, lets get on to another topic, food. We didn't have to cook our own food and for that i was grateful. There were variety of food, bread, cereals, roti, chicken rice, fried rice and more. I have no problems with the food during Malaysia week, they were all delicious.

My favourite activity in KKB was tubing, i had a wonderful experience. i don't know how to explain it but it was awesome!

Well, in the end i had lots of fun and hope i could go on another Malaysia week :]
