- Part 2 -

here comes the adventure part....

we paid RM150 per pax for it.... inclusive of one lunch.... we have been waiting for it for so long... hahaaa...

Connie - the lady in blue led us the way to the river....

we walked in one row cos the road was very narrow....

the guide briefed us about the safety equipments....

colourful helmets....

paying attention - better be safe than sorry !!!

gearing up !!!!

the Chang sisters..... Mum looked cute in this pic !!

a group pic before i kept my camera in the dry bag....

Mission # 1 - BODY RAFTING !!!!

the water was icy cold and we're freezing in it.... our mission was to body raft to the other side of the river with only our life jacket on.... i was the 3rd person to do this... i must say that it was not an easy job, we're floating and drowning at the same time - scary !! and, i drank a lot of water too !! :P

once i reached safely on the other side of the river... i quickly grab my camera and took some pics of the rest of them...

waiting for their turn....

throwing a safety rope to save someone... can you see the unknown blue helmet inside the water ???

Mum and my godmother....

a pic of us....

Ken in action !!!

alamak, who is this ??? helppppp ~~~~~

i think this is Kelvin....

finally, all of us completed Mission #1 safely !!!

next it was time for Mission #2 - to tackle exciting rapids and floating down the clear water river of Sungai Kampar... too bad, i had to keep my camera into the dry bag again...

after rafting about half an hour, we stopped at a resting area...

it was so tiring....

group pic #2....

after resting for 15 minutes, it was time to continue our mission... to conquer Sg Kampar !! finally, our last mission was to body raft in a group in one row.... it was quite tough, as some of them in front were stuck between the rocks and those at the back advanced them.... and it became "U shape"... hahaa... too bad, no photo were taken.....

it was so much fun... our team did a pretty amazing job !!! Our raft didn't capsize and no one got thrown into the water !!! it was an experience to die for... hahaa...

once we reached the ending point, we're transported back to Adeline Rest House in a small lorry...

are they gonna sell us away in this lorry ??? RM10 seekor ???

camwhored on the lorry....

Mum and Hoong...

it was quite a bumpy ride and we have to duck every other minute to avoid the tree branches and leaves else we'll get smacked in the faces... hahaa....

once we reached the rest house, everyone started looking for a bathroom to clean ourselves... yesss, there were so many bathroom here and there.... you just need to locate it !!!

and, its time for FOOD again... and our 12 course dinner was served - inclusive of BBQ - chicken wings, hotdogs, lamb chop and satays..... Adeline really cooked lots of great and delicious food for us.... especially the assam prawns, it tastes the same as those i had in Penang.... YUMMY YUMMY !!!!
