rocking cave trip...

finally was able to go to the Dark Cave trip that was organised by the MNSM.
Actually was planning to pull out from the trip as mom was not giving the permission to go to the trip as dad was not in and there is 2 shops 2 take care off. Luckily, the fella who should hv work half day helped me out and did the job 4 full day taking the post i should hv taken at that day. So, really thank her and really need 2 belanja makan edi. At the end hurray!! Dark Cave trip here i come...

(Pic will b post later as i dun hv the pics now)
Back to the cave trip,
the e-mail that gave us instruction stated that we have to meet up at campus at 730am and would leave 745 am sharp. As i reach there i was thinking i would barely made it on time as i left my home at 720 am. As I reach, I was relieved as I saw only 10 sth ppl there, but then trouble come in as most of the people arrived but the main 'star' of the trip was not there. It was the bus. It was missing and late and made us wait like half and hour. As it reached, we were so excited that finally we are moving towards the destination, and came in the news, the bus broke down therefore we hv to switch to the other bus which is coming, and from there we finally knew why our ride was late, hence the driver was forgiven, but the funny thing is before the bus came, we were like making all the nonsense guess we were saying that the driver was juz awake as we called him.

Then, after a smooth ride from the campus, we reached our destination, Batu Cave.
Went there for few times already, yet i never realised there was a Dark Cave there.
Now, Batu Cave looks way more equipped and grand compared to the last time as a lot more structures sprung up and the HUGE golden statue of some god was built compared to my previous visits. We were having our so called breakfast(buns) before we started climbing up the stairs to the Dark Cave, and were warned to eat before climbing the stairs, as they say if we go up there on the stair with food, we would have to fight for eat as the monkeys would attack us and try to snatch the food, told from their experience.

Then, finally at step, 204, we take the turn into the entrance of Dark Cave, and the 1st thing that welcomed us was the smell of the cave. Its is not very pleasant but we became immune to it as we were briefed by the tour guides. Then, we were given a helmet each with the light on it so that we can see.(Its really pitch dark inside without light as we had a session to juz sit down n be silence with lights off...and it was real silent and those who are achluophbic, scraed of the dark would have gone mad) Then as we move in the 1st thing they introduce us on the ground was , guano aka bat poo. Then, as we moved on we saw the whole colony of cockroaches, big, small, cave and common cockroach, we saw them all and its not a few of them, its hundreds or maybe thousands of them. The tour guide was asking us, who wants to train for fear factor can just come here., and it is really scary looking at so many of them and there were some girls like shouting along that path. Luckily in the deeper part of the cave, they were not roaming there, or else some of the people would scream the lungs off.

Then, along the way towards the entrance of our adventurous part of the trip, we saw many beautiful artwork form the mother nature and learn a lot new knowledge about the items in the cave. Do you know that the stalagmite takes 50 years to make 1 cubic cm? and the stalagmite there was like so freaking huge. Also, the curtains, not the one at home, was so beautiful...speechless... but there was something that made us speechless too...all the graffiti done by the ppl previously spoilt quite some view as they wrote the famous ' I was here' or 'someone loves someone' quote at the cave wall. There are even people who destroyed the curtains stalagmite thet take ages to built on that small bit. How reckless they are.

And the best part came in, the adventurous part of the trip. Dallel(dunno its the right spelling) the tall big guy was the 1st to go into the passage and it was not an easy task for him i think as i enter into the passage, it was quite small and juz around my size with few inch wider than me. The crawl was quite scary as it is not like u can juz go through a section anyway u want but u have to really follow the instruction or else definitely can't get through. There is one part you can only get through if ur head is tilted left n cheek down on the ground.Oh ya, did i forgot to say the floor is quite moisty as it rained yesterday and there were like mud everywhere? It was quite exciting though as we really gone through many types of movement, form walking, crawling, sliding, climbing and 'snaking'.

At the end of the trip we all came out from the cave like we had juz survive some earthquake or as we were all drenched in mud and the girls hair when they took off the helmet made them look like mad woman. We took a group photo at the end of the trip and we shall compare what we look like before and after. hahaha....

It was quite an enjoyable trip and made quite a number of friends... few medic ones too... It was a real enjoyable one and i can't wait to go for the next...XD... MNSM Rocks!!!
