Walk Towards The Falls

Well here we were! After a half-hour-drive in the afternoon (could be longer, I was sleeping**), we reached the Lambir rainforest park renowned for its marvelous waterfalls. Our group consisted of 12 peeps: me, Bel, Bui, Rol, FFH & his sis plus 6 friends from Sibu.

No, this is not the waterfall target we're going for at that time. Surely now, we had to stop and stare and this little waterfall seemed to first catch our attention. But NO, we MUST go in DEEPER to reach our target waterfall! So on we ventured, through dense undergrowth with the beating of the pouring drizzle. Walk, walk, jump, walk...until...

WO! WE JUST HAD TO STOP FOR THIS!! Okay, it looks lame... just a normal tree right? Just wth is so special about this?

That's my hand up there. And that's the same tree. Yes, I have brown skin. But look at the colour contrast! I'm saying that this particular tree had an extremely strong hue of brown that makes it stand out among the other trees in the area!

This particular signboard never failed to catch our attention upon every bridging process..And so the journey continues...

UNTIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!

Ain't it beautiful?(You don't have to answer that) We finally made it to the target destination!

Here's a better shot at what we saw. Awed**
That's a log by the way, viewed from close perspective. It's NO rock.

Into the water! Pants up boys!! ^____^

Rol stepped on something... Believe me, you don't wanna know...

Brrrrrr~! Water's freezing coldddd. Notice our feet had already lost their colour after a minute in the icy waters

That black speck is Mr.Mosquito. It's eating the life out of FFH. Amazingly, FFH let it stay there for around 30 seconds, allowing us to take 3 photoshoots of it (one blurred, the other too far away). Ow, silly FFH =)

Eventually, silly FFH got mad and WHAM!!!
Death to Mr.Mosquito!! RAaWRrrRr! ';...;'
Here's a question to ponder; I wonder which of them drew first blood... xP

After many enjoyable moments, it's time to head back to the tarmac roads. Once again, crossing the hanging bridge that brought about many fears in us. It wobbled - alot. The phrase "10 person maximum" never ceased to register in our minds at that very moment.

At last, it's time we go home after a tiring outdoor activity at Lambir Park. As you can see for yourself, Roland collapsed from fatigue on his steering wheel. Yes, Roland you did, don't bother arguing with me even though you don't recall it x)
Fortunately, FFH gave Rol some energy-packed buns and Bui's snoring kept Rol awake throughout, which ensured our safe ride home!
Cheers! :D
