Thank God, ... it's SaTURDAY

After being inundated with exams and homework for at least a week, finally my mind, body and soul have time to take a break. Today, I had expected that I would be extremely exhausted as I needed to go through 2 arduous activities - badminton and mountain climbing. I would like to share my adventure with all of you. First, let’s go to badminton. As usual, me, Jay See, Justin, Kah Leong and Chee Jie went to the condo to have a badminton match. We played together and surprisingly they have changed their style of play especially Jay See. He demonstrated skills at the net like Lee Yong Dae which was very intimidating. Then, suddenly ‘Leng Lui’ appeared. As usual, we had a glimpse of the Leng Lui and I think this is already our habits. Hahaha. Sharp at 10, it was sad because I got to leave them, my beloved friends, for mountain climbing.

When I headed on to the guard house to join Jin Ming, Yan Ping, Thian Ho and Seng Hong for our hiking, their faces looked like they had been charged with Energizer battery, ready to go!! Zoom! Zoom! Then we departed to Mount Apek. According to Jin Ming, the journey to the waterfall would be 3 times tougher than Ketumbar Hill. Jin Ming was right. The uphill challenge was really really tough until we got tired and had to rest at several intervals.

After hiking for 2 hours, finally we arrived at the waterfall. All of us quickly took off our sandles and of course shirts but not underwear la. Then, we immersed our legs into the water. The water was so cold and clean and the waterfall flowed like an avalanche. When I submerged my whole body into the cold water, my mind was thinking about Titanic and I don’t know why. After we had adjusted to the temperature of the water, we took photos in various model posts and all I could say is YENG.

It was a great outing, but all good things must come to a close. We washed up and continued our journey down the mountain. Once we exited the mountain, we went to quench our thirst with a coconut drink. When the cold drink ran down my throat, I felt so satisfied. Like the snow white and the seven dwarfs, we hei ho, hei ho back to our home sweet home.
