Day 1, Journey to Jerantut was long and we spent most of our time in the train, relaxing. We reached to our destination at 2am sharp and straight away we walked to nearby Hotel Sri Kim Yen, for us to get a rest before we started our activties in the

morning Day2, We had our breakfast at nearby coffeshop in the morning. We ate roti prata with egg and nasi lemak. After everything is done, we packed up and at 0730am, boarded a local school bus for travel to Gua Kota Gelanggi. We arrived at camp site, Gua Kota Gelanggi Cave Complex for orientation and outdoor safety practices briefing. At 0900am, commence concurrent outdoor training briefing and demonstration, safety practices. Familiarization with climbing gears and proper use. Hike up to abseil site. Final safety checks before we abseil off with top belay and land at cave floor safely. Each of us are supposed to wear one glove for safety. Abseil 70m down cave. It is scary and imagine yourself not well prepared and you fell. Whoa! Unluckily,Sharifah got rope burnt and injured her right arm. It was very painful. She lose control of her left hand and on that point of time, she was hanging in the air wanting to reach the land. She hold the rope tightly using her right hand and she somehow let go off the left hand with glove. She abseil down very fast and she could feel her hand burning against the rope. It was fantastic! End up, she land at the cave, sitting down and smile and laugh :) She was then sent to the first aider and were told to wash her injured hand. She was told to apply an alcoholic wipes. First try : She, Renfred and Farizah sat in the middle of the carpark. She took 1piece of alcohol thingy and tried to wipe off the injury part slowly. Just a tab of it, she screamed aloud till the workers at the side of the carpark looked at her. Painful! Second try : We transfer ourself and sat at the staircase where we placed all of our bags down there. Renfred took out the alcohol and wanted to do it for her in three or four seconds. He promised her that. But still, she was so stuborn that she said," It's ok. I can do it myself." As time passes, alot of alcohol wasted, Renfred pissed off with me, Firuz Iyliaq Shaiful Amirah and Aizad came down to look at her, Iyliaq and Shaiful happily catches a big butterfly and Aizad video cam it, she still said to Renfred, 'wait, I can do it myself.' Renfred kept saying to her to let him heal her injury as it only took three to four seconds then he will put cream and bandage her hand. Guess what? She still refused on letting him do it. Farizah hold her left hand, Firuz hold my shoulder and Iyliaq hold both of her leg. Aizad happily video cam the situation. Third try : She's tired of crying and wanted everything to end fast, finally she let Renfred heal it. Farizah Firuz and Iyliaq start to hold her tightly as they know that she will struggle. And yes, she did struggle. She screamed and struggled till she hit Farizah twice. Oops! Renfred spread cream at her injury and bandage her right hand. It took 1 hour 30 minutes, just to heal her injury. After everything done, we proceed to our campsite, took pictures, settle up and prepare for next activities. Adventure Caving. We meet up with local guide and explore Gua Kepala Gajah (Elephant Head), Angin (Wind) and Sanding (Marriage). It was awesome! Everything, natural.
