As i turn back the speedboat was far away gone TT___TT i had no choice but to try and walk back through the jungle since i feel guilty for troubling if i called up the resort to fetch me back.I asked the guards for direction and they told me to follow up the road till another beachside and go into the jungle. Before i left they also added, "you might wanna take a stick" and i asked why and they replied "just in case , got lotsa wild monkeys".......................The time was around 11am
And so i start off my great adventure. At first they path was clear and straight. Then it started to become more grassy and next sandy. By the time i reach to the beach side, I wonder which side of the jungle to go into. I met a few kampung kids and they reluctantly showed me the way. When we were halfway into the jungle, we met a bunch of local adults so the kids asked the adults to show me the way. Unfortunately the adults are going back to the village so they only bring me into the jungle and from there they direct me where to go. Until now I still remember what the last guy in the group told me.........."follow the red paints on the trees"
So this is when i started walking alone in the jungle carrying a travelling back pack...The big size one which foreigners usually carry :D It was around 12pm
The jungle somehow looks OK OK to me at first, there were path and I was following red paints on the trees. Besides that i also notice a long red cable along the path i took. Its kinda cool when i managed to see lots of wild animals including monitor lizards (tons of em everywhere...and supa big....not your average lizards on the road streets) mongoose or long body squirrel whatever the thing is, ants as big as my thumbs and heck yeah i also came across monkey king. Freaking big ass monkey which is too large to be an ordinary coconut climbing monkeys. That monkey and i cock stare each other as i walked passed him. When i turn my back and look at him, he was still looking at me....CREEPY... .
Your ordinary everyday forest looking jungle at first After awhile, the journey started to get harder when i had to climb up the higher grounds. I also noticed a fork way where the red cable and red painted trees lead different directions. I am a good boy so i followed the advice, follow the red paint. YES, right.... I really had difficulties when i hike up the mountain. It makes me think about the people living on the island; how they do this everyday??? I stopped three time to vomit when there isnt anything coming out from my mouth.
The plants looked mean too in the mountain area...betcha wouldn't feel nice if you slip and fall onto this.... As i went on and on and on, i felt thicker cobwebs than before....As if no one had walked this path before....But still i ignore the fact that i am clueless and still continue on because i am still following the red paints. Around 2 pm, i reach upon a big fat tall tree with a black signboard on it stating "1800m"..... My jaw went wide open, having the chills and yet felt proud at the same time. Due to the higher grounds, my phone which i did not even notice there is no connectivity finally received tons of sms and missed calls. All from my Fi :3 i replied her back telling her i was ok and we talked on the phone for a while. I told her about the path i took and also the signs i saw. Apparently she was already worried as she had waited for quite some time for me outside the jungle. Few moments later, the line broke off. I had no choice but to continue on.
Boy am i glad when the path was leading lower. But still the path was getting harder as there was damn alot of rattan trees that will leave holes on you like cheese holes. What worse was i stepped on the trees wearing my rubber sandals. OUCH....kena my meat.... I also accidently stepped on a pile of dead tree trunks and my leg actually sank into the earth till my knee level...my leg was all black when i lifted it out...YUCK. After i passed two signs stating 1600m and 1400m, i found a small river stream. By this time, i confirmed myself as LOST when the path actually ended there HAHAHAHAHAHA. Still i did not have time thinking bout dying. The small river stream looks tempting so i drank a little. Tasted fresh and great so i decided to fill up my emptied bottle. After i recharge all my power, i decided to follow the river stream thinking that the small river will eventually lead me to river mouth. SMART huh?....Unfortunately my plan did not went well...i reached the waterfall area.....=,=''''

Phew....tiny waterfalls still OK....can slowly climb down with bare feet At first the waterfalls were puny so i thought why not? Just Do It. Its was kinda hard to balance on the wet rocks when you were carrying a freaking big backpack, slippery rubber slippers, and also a mobile phone in your shorts.....Still i manage to pull off although i did tripped and landed on my buttocks. Like what the chinese said "bi ku kai hua" which literally means Buttocks open flower. XD
As i continued on the steps of waterfall, the current was getting stronger and i heard water gushing loudly from afar.
Whaddya know? Look what i found.........

Note: the picture was taken by my phone from top view....NOT bottom view. Try imagine it....I knew that i could die if i slip and hit my head or just slip and wet my phone...but when i looked back i knew there was no turning back anymore...i aint gonna climb back the waterfalls and hike up 1800m again.....So i let out a sigh and continue on my journey. As i try to climb to the slippery wet rocks, SUDDENLY~!!!!!!
