Taman Negara was fun! Super fun indeed. A place meant for pure relaxation, but it sucks to the max too! (Pun intended.) It's really a place for tourists and people on field trips (esp. Geography) and the atmosphere there is fantastic! Though it rained on the first day when we reached, the weather became much better over the course of 3 days and we enjoyed every single bit of it! Not to mention, having super 'high' participants helped :P
Over 3 days there, we managed to do caving at Gua Telinga, then went on for a nightwalk in the jungle nearby (and we saw lotsa stick insects, spiders and even glow-in-the-dark mushrooms!). Also had the chance to play around in rivers (which had leeches also! o.O) and climbed one of the mountains nearby. The canopy walk was definitely the highlight of the trek. It was amazing to be amongst the top of the trees, and to peer down, a long long way down. Kinda reminiscent of the Tree-top walk at MacRitchie, but the trees there were much more taller and the view was great...you could see the nearby river even!
And some of the more adventurous people decided to try out swimming at the nearby river, which kinda 'failed' since the current was so strong and we were barely staying at our positions. If we swam, we would probably be back at the Chalet, being pushed by the current. That would've been some news!
The new drink from MacDonalds' Malaysia. Reminds me of the super green green tea. And there are tiny bits of jelly floating inside! A drink worthy of being Shrek-ed.

Our boat ride!

That's a super duper big gigantic tree behind me!
Bats in the cave. Looks like they are stunned.
Field repair of sandals
Not to forget...I had to constantly repair sandals. Think I 'mended' 3 or more of them during the trek, and I think I can start to open a sandals-repair service sooner or later. I just need the materials and some money...Won't that be a great venture?
