Outdoor Activities

Outdoor activities has been among my favorite things to do, last mid semester holidays, there are chances to go outdoors at Kota Belud, first week had camp at Dantai Beach, which was a mix of pleasantries.

However the adventure starts after camp, armed with my sweetheart, James, Jessie and a family of Jimmies a.k.a a group of people who clicks, we manage to climb up the tallest peak around Kota Belud which is Bukit X. 

Figure 2: Serene beauty of rainforest.

Tales are told that there are places of hauntings around the area due to it's dense and tall rarely inhabited area, however we went up and manage to reach the peak, the view isn't like climbing up Mount Kinabalu, however the hike tells me that, I am so unfit..

Lots of adventuring can lead to dangers, If you are not fit for adventuring it is advised to get fit first. During the earlier part of the day, before the hike, Me and the other "Jimmies" went to the river for a "dangerous" fun bathing spree.

Well the river is "dangerous" at the time due to the currents are stronger because of the raining which happens the whole night. So the river is chocolate and really deep not to mention cold.

So excitedly we went and jump into the river and swam.. It was so fun that we decide to follow the river current downstream.. It was awesome, I feel awesome not to mention such a fun stunt.. Two jimmies went to the river side due to hitting the rocks when drifting like a log.. So all was left is me, my cousin Terry and James.. 

Suddenly due to strong current underwater, I strained my self to keep afloat.. I used up all my strength and stamina to try to scan the bottom, but I couldn't reach it.. I lost a lot of energy and called out to my cousin, without him, I probably wouldn't make it to the river side..

Then after going to the river side, I prayed and thank God that He protects me in a situation in which I could have not survived.. Praise the Lord..
