My trip to Gua Tempurung in Gopeng, Perak was a awesome experience!
First we walked up steps ( 1016 steps to be exact) . Walking up the steps was tiring but looking at God's beautiful creation was super!! There were a few lights on the way as we walked up the steps, looking at the beautiful walls that made me feel so small. After finishing walking up the 1016 steps, we all slipped out of the railing s and walked a bit more. soon i found myself sliding down the soil, making my blue pants all brown and yellow. yuck! i slid down behind dad following his footsteps so i would not fall.
When half the time was done exploring the cave, the guide took us down a shallow stream to a sunny place just outside the cave. We stood in the water enjoying the coolness of it. When Uncle James started to skip stones, Cher Cher and I Looked around the riverbed for flat stones for him to skip. While we were doing that, dad discovered some sticky mud from his and ee ee's shoes. He threw it at the cave wall and it looked like a bat's poo poo!!!! =)
It looked fun. So Chrisa and I found more sticky mud and threw it to the wall too. i found a BIG blob of it. so my and Chrisa broke half to share. I broke my half into a quarter. One of them, i threw on the wall. The other, following dad, threw it on the roof of the cave.
Soon the guide said to continue the next half of the cave adventure( as i call it! =) )
As everyone was heading towards the cave again, i looked back to see if my blob of mud would fall on anybody's head....Too bad it didn't after all!!
The next half we had to go into water. We walked along the stream, carefully walking so that we would not fall in the stream. As we walked on, the roof of the cave became lower and lower.
Soon all of us was crawling on our tummies in the water. that was very fun!!!!!
But once i bumped my head on a stalactite. Ouch! =) After a few times of crawling on our tummies, we were done with our adventure.
The guide went away and left us near the exit, with the stream rushing strong on us. it felt SO good sitting there.... i felt like i was sitting in a message chair. just that it was filled up with water!! i felt so good!
When everyone was going, i was the last one. we were all holding our shoe, for we felt better barefoot. it was more cooling for our feet. =) When we were almost going up the stairs to dry land, i decided to wear my shoes back on. but as i was going to it slipped out of my hand leaving me with only one shoe. I tried chasing after it but i was always one step behind. then suddenly i tripped over a rock. then i managed to grab my shoe. ah...at last! But when i tried getting up, i was stuck fast down, because the water was rushing at me and a rock at my right hip was blocking me from getting up! With a heave i soon sat up and began to trail behind Dad, ee ee, and Cher Cher who all was bursting with laughter....
That day was super i tell you,
especially when God has made the creative cave for all mankind to enjoy! =)
sounds like SO much fun!!!!
