My Expedition To Perak (Second Day)

Second day got really alot of things to say.
Second Day
I didnt sleep that nite.Kinda missing home.It was 5.30am.I rose up from my mattress and went to my haversack to get my brush,toothpaste,cup and some tissue paper for my washup.Brush brush brush,was wash wash,cleanse cleanse cleanse,i finished my washup.Then i woke my roommates up.It was 6.30am.We went to have our breakfast at the canteen.Then waited for the officer to talk a bit about what we were going to do on the second day.It was 8am.We have finished our breakfast.We went back to our room to get ready for our first major event of our expedition-Caving.At the room we took our torches and went back to the canteen to assemble.We were splited into 3 groups.
From there we boarded a lorry.Drive drive drive we reached the entrance of our first cave of the day.At the entrance the guide there told us the 2 rules of the cave.Here are them:
1)No torches to be turned on.
2)Keep the noise level to the minimum.
He told us that there was bats in the cave (not the movie),form a single line and hold the hands of the people behind u.So we went in.The cave was a bit muddy so we disregarded the mud.As there were girls in the group i stood right in front of them so that i could hold their hands.The cave became darker and darker as we went deeper to the cave.Walk walk walk our shoes was covered with a bit of mud.Walk walk walk we went through the cave.From there we walked to our next cave to be explored.
At the second cave entrance we took a picture of us in the cave.At there the guide told us that in the WWII (world war 2) the cave was used for the Japanese Occupation.Then we went in.Again i was right in front of the girls (not that i like the girls who is cute but to help them get through the cave and to talk to the officer behind them).At a certain part of the cave which appeared big the guide he told us to off our torches for a minute.Everything was so dark that we couldnt even see our ten fingers.A minute has past.He told us to on our torches and asked us if we could live in such darkness for 7 years or more?we said no.Talk a bit and we continued walking.Walk walk walk we walked finished the cave.This time our shoes was covered with mud and water.The girls were liked complaining to donno who.I arm-qio-ed(laughed in silence in hokkien mixed english).Then we went to the muddiest cave of the day).Quite dangerous as there was a lot of ups and downs in the cave.Because of that i again stood right in front of the girls this time to help them.When we came out of the cace we were like in the mountain top but not the mountain summit.Drank some water of the guide there.And we went down.The route we went down was quite steep but there were ropes to help us.Though the ropes were there to help us i didnt use them.I used the trees.About half an hour i reached the base of the mountain.Only two guys of our group were there.Then from there we were liked throwing stones on the floor.Then slowly more and more people came down.The girls were among the last.Probably had some problems coming down.From there a lorry came to fetch us back to the resort.Drive drive drive we reached our resort.Then had our lunch.Then briefing about what we were going to do later in the day---Whitewater Rafting.Sounds fun.
After lunch we er...went back to our room to change our shorts to track pants as we were encouraged to do so.
Then came back to assemble outside the canteen.Then we were splited into groups of 5.(This time not with girls but all boys).There were about 10 groups i tink.In the first part we had to move some rafts to the river.Quite heavy when it was not even loaded with people.Imagine how heavy it would be to have 5 people plus 1 guide.Common sense will sure say heavier than Earth (lolssss).The second part was abit troublesome.We had to swim across the water.At the rocks i was like talking to a female officer about later.Then i swam.I was hit by the rocks.Pain sia.Then i reached the shore where the people were.Then from there we waited a while.The time has come.We brought the rafts on the water and held on the paddles.We were liked always in the last place.In the meantime i fell off the raft 3 times.The first time i fell off was because i lost balance in the raft.The second time was because the guide called us to move to the left side of the raft.Then the raft overturned and we all fell,including the guide.It took us a couple of minutes to get back on the raft.On the boat we went off.Then again i fell off for the third time because our raft hit a rock,lost balance and i flied off.My underwear was liked slightly revealed (not all lols).Then i swam back to the raft and got back on the raft.After that i stopped falling off.When we finished rafting we were in the last 3 places.From there we washed our shoes and we went back to the resort as fall soup chicken (luo tang ji,a description for wet people)(lols).At the resort we went back to our room to get ready to bathe.It was 6.45pm.We started our dinner.Eat eat eat it was already 8.We went back to our rooms to do our own things.10pm was our light-off time.Again i didnt sleep.Now it is because i missed home and because my soul was singing the whole nite.
That's all for the second day.Third day will be shown the next time i blog.
