Went to Kuala Kubu for White Water Rafting last Saturday. Another small personal record. Surprisingly the whole experience did not appear to be as scary as I thought it would be. All you need to do is to follow your leader, forward.. Back.. left.. right... and most important command will be HOLD and SIT-IN! Simple English, but as usual, execution is always more difficult than theory. 40 of us went on the same trip, and we were split into 7 groups, and together with me on the same raft are mainly my BFFs Kalel, ShiMin, Lia, Ilham and Yoong How, commander Pie, and his assistant Along. (What BFF is? Take a good guess).

Journey began... We went through quite a number of drops, each of them has a very unique name, e.g. first canon, second canon, chicken drop, broken nose.. These names definitely sounded "welcoming" and comforting, but unfortunately these weren't revealed to us earlier before we started, and the only way back was to climb over the moutain, down another hill, through another forest, on your slipper, or in some case bare foot. I think, the best option is to close your eyes and hold tightly to the string on the edge of the raft. Surprisingly, my raft did not capsize throughout the journey, even with the black sheep (me) on it. My lucky day indeed.
Here come the splash...
This is apparently called the "Chicken Drop" .. Brave little chicken we are indeed.
Another drop - 2nd Canon 
Woohoo! Look @ that man.. 
Everyone's paddles up in the air... So guess who was the one doing the rowing? Thank god we survive.
Don't worry. She is only practicing her "self-rescue" technique
Vincent - Attenpting to "knock-on-the-heaven's-door" twice the same morning.
We had a break mid-way - icy waterfall ...
Group photo :D
Enjoying the apples, sneaker bar, muesli..

Overall, this is a very enjoyable trip. I'd love to do this again, despite the sleep deprivation and bruises everywhere.
