WET and FURIOUS (^O^) Part I

9 January 2011

The first activity to start a very2 good year - A Friendship Trip to White- Water Rafting at Padas River, Beaufort.

The journey started as early as 7.00am by the college bus.

Everybody was anxious to begin the expedition as we got a morning call even before 7 asking about our whereabouts as they can't wait to go to the ferry terminal. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived at the terminal, the speed boats are not there yet (they're probably still snuggling comfortably under their blanket, tgh golek2 dgn air liur basi lg tuh...its sunday for goodness sake)...We waited patiently for the boats while making other passengers' life miserable with our thunderous laughters and rumbling noise (^o^) mesti sebenornya passengers lain tuh tgh menahan diri jer nak meroyan....haish, kitorg nih pagi2 lg dah setat buat bising...

tgh anxious tggu speed boat

The speed boats arrived around 8.00am.

Most of us agreed, the speed boat ride is our first training before we throw ourselves into the Padas River. The bumpy + roller-coaster joyride took us 30 minutes from Labuan to Menumbok. We stop for breakfast at Menumbok before we resumed our journey by van for another 3-hour ride to Tenom via Beaufort and Sipitang.

The journey was full of deafening laughters and ludicrous stories created mostly by ALL the storytellers from the back-benchers. They have given us free amusement and totally chased the boredom away,and all that JUST by listening to their stories. However, their hilarious laughter and their booming voices apparently didn't help in preventing our van driver from dozing off and nearly drove us all into the drain.He apologized to us all, stopped the van, took a puff while the rest of us stepped out of the van for a short photo session.  Sempat lg tuh nak bergambo2 bagai...haish!!!

melegakan tali perut sekejap (^o^)

We continued our journey from Tenom to Padas River by train..its "the old+conventional+antique+zaman dolu2 nyer train"...

 tgh tggu train dtg...

and believe it or not, another drama happened inside the train but i cannot tell you people more abut it as i just heard noises from far, i was not near the snene...Thank god i sat at a different coach. Alhamdullillah!!! But, despite all the drama, i seriously like riding that antique train...sangat bising tapi i like it....but the train ride is a very short journey, and along the way we can actually see the river and the current that we're going in later. The breathtaking scene really took our breath away...LITERALLY (*O*) masing2 dah kecut tali perot dah masa nih tgk sungai yg deras tuh...hohoho

and tuh baru 40% of the whole stories...the rest of the stories akan muncul dalam sedikit masa lg (^o^)...bwk2 bersabar yer kengkawan...cerita meroyan dalam air akan dikeluarkan ntok Part II (^o^) i'm still trying to arrange all my thoughts together nak kasik "kaw2" nyer cerita...
