Its a sad day, but made new happy friends!

Hahhh!its my story to tell all my friends about i am going to make new friends again!

This is kind of weird since i keep making new friends in these days but actually whats the special this time since i am going to share it online here?

Let me try to ask few of the simple Q here first :)

Have you ever imagine to jump from the highest floor of this building?

WoW, it is so scary!

Just like what the information from web show us, at least 30 people have jumped from the Empire State Building since it opened in 1931. Amazing, huh?


But, when i am asking about if you are jumping only from the first floor?

i bet there are so many people think it is as easy as ABC.


However, you may try to imagine right now.
If you drop (but not jump) from the first floor, how do you think abt this?
Let me make it clearer, i made with these friends only when he drop from the 1metre high. The actual incident just like how the following picture shows you.

Yes. Here we come with the story :)

Actually i just went to the Bukit Tabur to have a hiking today, which supposed to be there yesterday, and so many of the reasons made us have to be there only today. like usual, we were there 7 something and we started the activity. According to three of my previous experience, this is an activity only spend me three to four hours, but the incident we met in this afternoon really made two of us shock. Let me try to explain in a clearer way.

Today, we taken a route that we never did and there was a thick string provided to make easier for people to go down from a cliff, just like the rock climbing picture that shown right in this blog (Of course, the place is not using the equipment and it is not as high as shown) When we just came down from the cliff, we saw there was a couple just reached up there and was trying to come down the same place.

However, when the guy was coming down with using the string, the string just snapped AND THE GUY DROPPED FROM THE 1METRE HEIGHT!! Two of us just too shock since both of us just came down with using that and thought he couldn't hold tight the string and dropped! Anyway, the main problem was he keep groaning for almost 30mins right after that due to his body full of minor wound and the most important just because of his backbone hit the sharp rock which on the ground!!

He even couldn't bend his body that time! So we were trying to get the girl down from there first and then help to get out from the place! So, just try to imagine right now. He couldn't bend his body and how he was going to continue his journey since we just started to get down from the mount? Plus, the guy even insist the girl not to contact anyone unless he is not mobile anymore.

However, here comes a problem after he rest for awhile and ready to get out from the place, which is, we found there are another two similar cliff to go! After so long, we have get through these.But, guess what?we are so lost after that. Just simply because that was our first time to be the route and the injured friend's insist comments about the direction. Then, only we could get out from the hell place with few of us keep calling for helps and inform people about our situation.

At last, all of us were like so hopeless, tired and straving for water as well as food and we heard a reply scream from the guy's friend. With the direction of the scream, we found a S-size river and then the way out. Therefore, the whole story ended with we experienced a totally new route over the Bukit Tabur and get to know the other exits than nearby to dam. With this ending, luckily his fren is so kind to send us back to get the car! but, when we try to look at the watch, it was so close to 3PM...

As a conclusion for this story, really glad to make friend with these people, since these people are not only engineer, but also lawyer! However, the guy, Gabriel, really paid too much for knowing fong and me :D So, Eunice and Lim have to really take care of this friend!Bless ya!

s.lim,actually i was quiet wonder after u told us this experience..u guys didnt prepared any simple equipment like whistle,rope,knife etc when u go for jungle hiking?(or just go with bare hand?)in case anything happen,it's better use the whistle to attract attention compare to just use ur extra energy to shout along coz i believe saving ur maximum energy to survive ad become the priority in that situation..
wow~how frightened!but once recall it back, it's amazing right?

SLim But Not Shady... said...

Hah!Just like what I have told, we have been to there for few times actually.
Since there is nothing ever happen, I don't think people may think of this right...?

Anyway this kind of case often contains of so many 'luckily', and one of the most important will be the one to make me still here to reply you! :D

Crocuta:
I admit that we're not well equiped..I only equiped with cell phone and camera, and no water!!
but to bring a whistler i'd think that's 'over react'..well i know it's better to be prepared but that's just my (wrong) perception..hohohooo..
knife, seriously no need man..
rope, hell yes..but still, cant be bothered..LOL..
