Pain~Fool
Six days already.... the agony still exist.....My muscles esp. on my calf areas are still very much in pain. The strenuous activity left me with sore muscles on my limbs.
I got two cuts, one on my knee and the other on my finger. Presently, my body is aching all over. I suspected it was due to the improper "stretching exercises" prior to the hiking.
Furthermore, my inactive lifestyle (lack of exercise)...also contributed to the pain.
Had been a couch-potato ...hardly perform any physical exercise.
Am unable to squat as the muscles tend to pull hard which causes the pain. Getting down stairs is pretty much a chore for the past few days.
Ouch !
Cave~ad~vice
An advice from me. Wear good quality shoes if you intend to join the river adventure. The slopes are rather slippery....so if you wear old shoes without "bunga" then be prepared to hurt your bum hard on the rocks.
In additions, old shoes may not be reliable to withstand your vigorous walk in the water.
A terrible incident happened to my colleague during our exploration. She was reluctant to wear her brand new sports shoes...so she wore her old pair. Halfway thru...her shoes bottom base got torn...the adhesive glue was too old already.
At first..only one side....after a while..both sides. In the end, she had to remove her shoes and walked barefoot. She wanted to patah balik but we were already quite far from the entrance. Therefore..she had no choice but to carry on.
Salute her strong determinations.
Hey....love yourself first before you love your shoes..okay.
If you love your shoes so much, who's gonna love you..leh?
Guess what she did ?
She took the rubber base of her shoes. Insert them into her socks..and wear them. "Kasut buatan sendiri". Great inventions . Even Jimmy Choo...cannot compete with her.
She walked for more than two hours with her socks and rubber base.
We nick-named her...."Wanita Berstoking Getah".
So dear readers...if you intend to visit Gua Tempurung and experience the wet adventure, "Good Quality Shoes" is a MUST. Or you'll regret if your shoes go awry.
We came acrossed many broken shoes in the cave.....must be from those previous visitors.
"Harimau mati tinggal belang, manusia mati tinggal nama, kasut mati, pakailah sarung kaki"
Another story...
Another colleague of mine was so petrified about leeches that she applied "minyak gamat" @ P. Langkawi Golden sea-cucumber juice. She poured almost half a bottle of that "smelly oil" onto her trousers and shoes to avoid the blood sucking worms.
She really stinks wherever she goes...! Guess...the other insects would stay 10 feet away from her ..la.
However...where on earth does one find leeches in limestone caves?
Next story
After caving the cave, we had a sumptuous lunch outside. The senior colleagues cooked up a storm for the hungry bugs. Looks like these teachers had chosen the wrong profession...they shud be chefs instead.
The menu are
chicken rendang,lemang, ketupat, charcoal BBQ honey chicken, Gado-Gado, ulam...noddles...rice.
We swept clean all the delicious food in a split second.
Baru saja burnt out the extra calories (while hiking), now replenished the lost kilos with food. Back to square one..lo.
A big hand to these fantastic chefs...who managed to produce such wonderful meals with limited source. Thank you kakak-kakak & makcik-makcik.
Terima kasih kak keladi, kalau ada masa masak-lah lagi.
