slept at 3 am today morning ..
watched football match ,
Liverpool VS West Ham United
which is pretty worth watching it cause Liverpool won 3 goals .
haha yeah . good credibility to Glen Johnson , Dirt Huyt and Maxi Rodriguez .
so yeah .
then woke up at 7.10 am , prepared myself and everything ready ,
headed to Dark Cave , which is located near/beside Batu Cave .
before that , went to have a simple yet delicious breakfast at Lima Bintang Restaurant
(so called 5 Star Restaurant) haha !
then headed to Batu Caves .
meet up with all the members .
Chen - Aunt SW , CCL , CTM
Leong - P.B Leong , SKYH , LTZ and LXL
Giam - GHK , GCW , GCY , and GLA
and of course , the VIP : Uncle Don (old friend of my papa's)
and his brother , that manage a company called Cave Management Private Limited .
climb 204 steps out of 272 steps of the Batu Caves .
reached the side/ entrance of Dark Cave .
it somehow connected to Batu Cave .
Uncle Don give some briefing about the Cave , how's the cave is form and a little history of if .
and also , formation of the limestone and all .
interesting discovery facts which makes me wanna be a cave woman .
as in like do plenty researches about caves and all .
this is to preserve the caves , prevent extinction .
so yeah .
after 15 or 20 minutes briefing about cave facts ,
then we start our journey . everybody dress like they afraid stung by bee and mosquitoes .
lmao .
outfits are super hilarious , but hey is a good one instead . especially uncle don's one . haha :)
beginning of the journey was pretty cool and steady , got no any difficulties .
come to certain part , especially stairs climbing , sort of tiring . and is stuffy some part which make me 'SMOKING HOT'
haha :D
anyways , journey are pretty normal after that .
awesome limestone formation , beautiful , attracting , shocking point of view
cannot-see-at-other-places stones , plenty of it there .
too bad i don't have any tools to take a piece back as a remembrance . lols :)
ahaaa . by the way , the stone are pretty cool though . unfortunate that i didn't bring my dslr . papa said is a bad idea of bring it . so yeah . is true , so i have to depends on chung yuen to capture all the wonderful and awesomeness limestone , a little of beautiful view/scenery . will take from him once i meet him up , perhaps next week and upload it to my blog .
(gosh , plenty of pictures need to upload . yikes)
while we're walkin'/trekkin' during our journey , Uncle Don did some explanation about how the limestone form and scientific name of it .
also , how is part of this cave and all sort of cave facts :)
plus , we saw 2 snakes while we were in our journey . that was amazingly cool .
and the funny thing is , the snake are awesome itself , it goes to us , and form a line ,
indirectly telling us that ,
[hey you human being , i'm not gonna let you cross cause this is my territory]
and then it slide towards the side , and got this guy , uncle yee took picture of it , and the coolest thing about the snake is , the snake stayed there , without moving , in order to let uncle yee finish his job . haha . cute though . and then , the snake glide slowly aside , like he/she showing off its skin color and the body size of his/hers . lmao .
after all , its skin color was beautiful :)
then another wild time is where , when we walked , a group/ a bunch of bats flying above us , can hear their wings flapping loudly plus the voice they make . it was super noisy for the others , but for me , i think this is pure nature . i love when the bats scouting away with their voices out loud :D nature yaw ~ :D
then come to the most exciting part , where all of us have to get our whole body full of dirt , cover with mud , due to crawling in a very low and small space/area that full of mud .
ahaha gross , isn't it ? but for me , is awesome , way awesome than i thought . wink ;)
it takes like probably 10-20 minutes crawling in that particular small and low area which can only fir for 1 person . we have to squeeze ourself in number of small holes .
wondering how small is the hole ?
is like half of the size of a gym ball . yes that small :)
imagine we have to squeeze ourself into that hole in order to go to another area and of course to the exit ;)
so yeah . is pretty tough and few people got stuck , takes time to solve the problem .
but in my point of view , it was an awesome memorable experience one :)
we stayed at one part for a while , waitin' for the have-no-idea-where-to-go + first-time-crawling-VIP- ; Uncle Don to take the lead .
haha funny one . we pass through many obstacles , different type of stones and all . in order to get to the exit . lols .
for a while , we stand up ;
for a while we squat ;
for a while we crawl ;
for a while we sit ;
for a while we shout ;
for a while we scream ;
for a while we joke ;
for a while we communicate (while crawling in the cave , over the mud)
for a while we laugh ;
for a while we stop ;
for a while , for anything and everything we do ;
it was totally unforgettable ;D
a memorable caving ever ~
we definitely will go there again , thats what chung weng and i promised about :)
our next generation will be our children , said by Uncle Don to all the children .
which is all of us , shocked that i'm the first one to react . GEEZ xD
after finish crawling , walked back out to where we enter , rushing out , since our whole body cover with mud and the itch is all over our body .
we were like oh shooot , itchy here and there , means by every where . lols ;D
yes EVERYWHERE .
lols . and the most humiliating stuff is , when we had came out from the cave , everyone keep looking/starring at us like they've never seen people that cover with mud before . some of them even capture/photograph us .
we are in a way of being FAMOUS , wrong way , just not the right way . GAAH :O
people will be thinking , is only Batu Caves , why are you all so dirty ?
is it full of mud up there ? and all types of thoughts wondering in their mind .
anyways , we immediately rush to our cars , took off our dirty muddy shoes , and head fast to the toilet . paid 1 bucks for shower which is quite worth it . haha :D
charity to the temple ~
i usually shower like 15 or 10 minutes .
but this time after the caving , i showed like half and hour or maybe long than that a little .
perhaps make it to 40 . haha .
i make sure myself is perfectly well cleaned and ain't left any dirt and itch on my body .
WHOAAAAAAAA ~
this is how i feel right after i shower .
i feel extremely relief and light .
fresh air , cleanness all over my body .
soaps smells , shampoo smells ;)
it was just refreshing enough !
after that , headed Ravi Indian Restaurant , which i pretty fancy for the foods in that restaurant
i love the foods there . whenever i am in Batu Caves , is a must to eat there .
that is also consider part of my papa's aim . lol .
the children , all of us , ate Banana Leaf Rice . oh my , that is certainly my most favorite .
workers there are all friendly and humble .
so yeah . the rice is tasty which makes me wanna add more (and i DID)
haha .
same goes to all the dishes , which is all veges . i'm lovin' it :)
practically , i'm all whole day vegetarian , for today .
didn't eat any meat at all . proud of that ;]
add plenty plenty of veges .
also paperdum (not sure what is proper spelling)
PAPER DUM , PAPER DUM ~
then chung yuen told me , don't east so much paperdum , later your PAPA DUM then you know .
i was like haha very funny .
well indeed ;)
so we continue to enjoy every single lunch moments with our tasty delicious indian delicacy Banana Leaf Rice , which we ate with our hand , except Teck Ming and Li Ann . pfffttt .
Prince and Princess . LAME ~
while eating , we did joked and chat , it was awesomely fun and hilarious where chung yuen and i recorded a super hilarious video . where ... you know ... will upload to my blog soon alright . :D
drank coconut water and ate with my wonderful and superb hand :)
hmmm , yum yum :) can't resist it . i want to crave more for Banana Leaf Rice .
have to go to Little India , Brickfields or Masjid Jamek . is a must , i must go for my Banana Leaft Rice ;)
we fulfill our stomach with satisfaction
after that headed back home . once reached home , lye down on my comfortably bed and took hours of nap . aha enjoying life :D
and yeah , my leg got injured a little .
as in injured scare , tiny and minor ones .
scratches everywhere .
oh not to mention my whole body is aching to the max . ouchh :/
need to go for a massage i think . aha yikes .
i'll be fine soon by the way , thanks for you guys concern .
tee hee ^^
last but not least , i had an awesome and memorable experience of caving .
it is as similar as Tempurung Cave which located in Perak but then Dark Cave is where we crawl with mud all over the place/holes in a very low and small space.
while ;
Tempurung Cave is where we crawl with water inside and there are a lot of empty and big space for us to move around , we can even stand too :)
but what i'm trying to send out a message is that , Dark Cave is the cave where we can gain many experiences , if people like us have been through dark cave (perhaps you might join next time) it will be much more easier for us to travel/caving with any caves in Malaysia . cause Dark Cave is ain't an easy task . so if a person manage to overcome the Dark Cave , then there wouldn't be an issue for the other caves in Malaysia . trust me , i've been caving for times :)
so yeah . i really enjoy this time caving a lot :)
ratings : FULL 10/10 .
thats all i guess . til then :)
regards xin lei
