dun need u to tell mi i also noe tat need to change.
but cant u do in a proper manner.
i dun own u a livin.
stupid..
afterwhich head back to coach n slept thru'out the journey till i reach ipoh.
reach there abt 5+ to 6
then saw the lorry tat is suppose to fetch us in.
went to the market to makan 1st (food not too bad)..
then we board the lorry (standing)
it is a different experience as mi dad drove lorry in singapore but we were seated not standing..
after some twist n turn + horning,
we reach Gopeng resort
settle down at our room (8 gers sharing 1 room)
then went for briefing..
lunch & then to that the briefing for the white water raftin..
terms to noe: pedal forward or backward, hold on, move to the left/right/front/back, Bom Bom, Jump Jump.
so have to learn to listen to instructions
then off to our water rafting - level 3
dist 10km..
we hav body rafting (meanin to get used to the event that we were thrown off the boat).
mi had not a good experience there as mi was tryin to hold on to my shoes..
haha..
then time for the actual stuff.
1st rapid is the double ridge.
had my 1st fall.. but lucky reali hand on to the safety line ard the body
& at the material time, didnt panic..
somehow felt come n still can count down for them to pull mi out of water..
then all change positions.
then pedal to the bank & shifted back to our original position.
then the journey was fun n excitin.
mi end up mi the 'commander'
haha.. pedal fwd 1.2.1.2.. hold..
half way thru, big downpour
so we were pedalin in the rain
ver different experience.
n that the water is reali much faster n maybe higher..
thus at the 7km,
the instructors decided to call off as fear of the water level.
i also get to experience how the rescue work was done
& how strong the instructors were..
great job.
teamwork, perservance, & positive thinkin needed + to conquer my fear by takin control of myself
then rode the lorry back
n wash up.
was stonin..
then time for teabreak
n makan dinner (steamboat)
the air is reali coolin..
