My second trip to Jln Kebangsaan

Our second trip was to the Diplomatic residential area at Jalan Kebangsaan. We took off at about 4.45 pm and reach there at about 5.15 pm.I have to admit that this trip is more exciting than the first one because it involves walking in the rain as well as climbing up and down the steep andn slippery slope not to mention the stream we have to cross.

As soon as we arrive at the site, our first challenge was to climb down the steep slopes. we have to be very careful as it was quite slippery and there is not much trees or branches we can hold on to. Probably the most challenging part for me is when i have to cross the stream by walking onto the unstable logs which seems to sunk halfway into the water. some members help out by putting logs on the side so that we can hold on to it. but still it was scary to me as i was unable to balance myself but luckily i didn't fell into the water ( it will be quite embarassing if i did hehe...). then we continue our journey and reach to a point where we have to climb up the steep slopes. we have to be careful with our steps as it was quite slippery due to the rain which was still pouring. however, the foliage has protected us from the rain and we only suffered a little wetness.

Then we have to walk along a narrow path which is surrounded by thick, bushy ferns with leaves branching out. it was quite dangerous as the branch have this sharp little thorns which can cut our skins or clothes if we are not careful. I was disappointed once again when i know that i have to cross another stream. this time the task is even more difficult as there is not enough logs to laid down for us to cross. The gushing of the running water is very cold and i couldn't see very clearly of what i was actually stepping because the day was getting darker. But due to the encouragement from my group members, i manage to cross the stream safely although my shoes have been entirely soaked with water.

By the time we came out from the forest, it was already dark. As usual we were offered drinks to quench our thirst and tiredness. but overall the trip was fun and exciting and i hope we can have more of this kind of trip in the future.
