Malaysia Week to Sangai Slim

The first day of the Malaysia Week was great.
The trees, mountains and the rivers were looking great and beautiful but they were full of all the disgusting bugs and leeches. I hate bugs so i always looked down and see if there were any bugs around me.

The second day, we went hiking to a mountain. First, we followed along a muddy track through the mountain. By the way, we stayed in a town of the Orang Aslis. We played some kind of soccer game with the Orang Aslis. We shouted, "go panthers!!" but we lost all the games. After the game, we went down the hill. I was really tired but the leaders said that we are going hiking again. I was really tired and sweating a lot but i needed to hike again. Along the hiking track, lots of leeches appeared on our legs. I was lucky because I wore long pants and only one leech sucked my blood. All of us were freaked out of the leeches that they.

The third day, we went kayaking. Kayaking was really fun accept that I’m tired when I’m paddling the paddle. I rode the kayak with Kevin. Kevin was working really hard and he wanted to go faster. But I didn’t want to go fast so I rest doing nothing and only Kevin paddled the kayak.

The 4th day, we went White Water Rafting. That day was my favorite day of the Malaysia Week. The boat was wobbling and bumping along the river. Sometimes the boat hit a rock and stuck with it. We need to move left, right, front and back to move the boat out of the rock that is stuck with. I fell from the boat once while the ride. When I fell down, a big rock hit me and I felt really painful. A guy saved me and I felt really thank to him. In the middle of the ride, there was a big fall. The big fall was really fun.

The last day of the Malaysia Week we were a bit sad because I would miss this place and the Orang Aslis that we met. That day, we did an activity called ‘Amazing race’. It was a game formed with five different activities. Some groups had done all of them but our group only completed one of the activities. We did the first one easily but the second on was too hard. ‘Catch five prawns in the river’. It was impossible to do it. We spent almost an hour on that activity and the time was over. We had the last ride of the bumpy cars and finally got on a bus saying bye to the people.
