As I am writing this, my muscles still aching

Last Sunday, all of us follow Uncle Ong to Sg. Chilling and it is very fun. Crossing rivers, getting lost a bit here and there trying to figure out the path. I guess this is one of the most confusing trek. Thanks to our more experienced friends and the MNS people who guided us the right way to the upper part of the waterfall.

Wow! The waterfall is majestic and as I look at the vertical fall all the way down to the pool (I think at least 20 - 30 feet), my legs become like jelly…scared that if I miss a step while climbing up (because I am clumsy)…I may just fall all the way down (like cartoon). I am just wearing my old and loose sandal at that time, so the grip is not so good as compared to a hiking shoe. But hey! that little girl barely 12 years old wearing a pinkish "barbie" sandal also can hike up ahead of me…I cannot give up…so malu (embarassing).

One thing that always makes me very happy in hiking trips are the people. We might come from different backgrounds, race or country, but in this type of trips, we will always end up helping each other to go to the top or cross over the obstacle. It is a good feeling when someone that we don’t even know their name, extend their hand to help us balance or go up further a few steps. After all of us reach our destination, it is really not much effort at all for us to mingle together and get to know each other better. We already broke the ice while helping each other climb up or cross the river earlier…hee hee

The water in the pool is icy cold, all of us who went in for a swim got goose bumps all over immediately, but it is fun splashing water at each other and the air is sooooooo fresh…all the negative ions (mists) generated by the waterfall is so so refreshing and good for us  
Really felt like a kid again playing water at the pool….carefree and all worries gone.

Hmm…still have no time to download the photos yet, will post up a few shots we took once I got the time…tonite tonite…must do it tonite!
