Gua Tempurung

I think i was around 10 years old when i visited this place. At that time, even my mum joined us for the wet tour which was considered quite challenging for her. But for us kids, it was pure fun.=)


Most people on this tour was sceptical about it,especially when we mentioned that the tour we are taking is the most challenging one. Some even thought that he was going to die in the cave.=_=''.However, names shall not be mentioned and fingers shall not be pointed.=P



-Before entering the cave. Everyone looked so clean and fresh.haha.-



-Dont ask me why kenzen placed his sticker there. =_= But his sticker was the sole surviving one among all of us.-
One of the major dissapointment of this expedition was the lack of tour guides. As it was a Sunday, there was a large crowd and therefore there werent enough guides to lead the tourists into the cave. Hence, we couldnt get a personal tour guide for our group and had to mix with other groups. In the end, 1 tour guide led around 25-30 people. Maybe that's why they gave us discounts.Cis.cis.
Once into the cave, the stones are magnificient. Stalagmites and stalactites were amazing. It takes millions of years for a stalagmite and stalactites to combine into a column. 0_o
Should have taken some pictures of the columns but too bad my camera died not long after we entered the cave. =(

-Parti Komunis Malaysia (PKM) was here too-


According to the tour guide, communists were hiding here during the 1950s. Wondered what they ate in the cave. There were only like spiders, scorpions(really got!!!!), bats and cobras(!!!!). Oh, occasionally some porcupine. We saw a dead body of a stupid porcupine which fell to its death in the cave. I didnt know porcupines could be found in caves.lol.


Ahh..yes. We had to crawl and swim in some areas of the cave, like this:


-Soo crawling with a torch light.haha.-

-me,Soo and Vincent. Look at the rock behind, you can just drink the water flowing on it. Free mineral water.Maybe this is where Spritzer gets it water.-

-HAh!caught u on camera. Wanna smile but yet refuse to, dont know what u were thinking, Prince-ss emo? ;) Btw, i have pictures of u that im so sure u will kill me!!muahaha :D-


-me happily posing. :) It was supposed to be a group pic, but as it was too dark, couldnt take the pic properly. cis-

-Temporary out from the cave.Last moments of my camera.Sigh~-

After that, we continued our journey in the cave. This time, not much of water but it was climbing slippery muddy slopes. There are no safety measures in the cave. =.= People can just fall into a deep hole, break their leg and left to die alone.

When it comes to 'slope' and 'slippery', i have to fall. =.= This time, i fell flat on the ground. cis. No thanks to my worn out addidas red shoes, i have bruises on my knees and arms. So pityful. :(

- I dont whether is it self inflicted torture. Poor me :(-

After 4 hours in the cave, we were so hungry that we could almost eat a cow. After a quick shower to get rid of the mud, we headed off to Ipoh, the city of sedap food. :D

-Bean sprout and chicken.Yum Yum. :)-

Ipoh's food is so so sedap. :D The bean sprout was fat and juicy while the chicken was smooth and tasty. We wanted to drink Ipoh's famous white coffee but it was closed when we arrived. :(

But when i was walking around, look what i saw!!!

-Curry G.Pi???!!!???-

If you cant read chinese, try to guess what is G.Pi.

If you still cant get it, try to say out loud 'pig skin' in cantonese.

:D
