Series of misunfortunate event Part III

*continuation from part II*
Sorry i purposely try not to post for some time to create suspense kekeke....now i kinda forgot what it feels like when i'm lost in the jungle :D

Anyway, when i tried to climb down the wet rocks, i caught a glimpse of a green snakes sliding down the rocks just next to me....after a careful consideration, i decided to climb down the waterfall on the other side which is a slope without path but trees and leaves. This was where i got myself reeeeeeal dirty. In order to get myself balance, i tried to get a grip on the tree branches. And like WOW....most of the branches were decayed, its kinda dangerous especially when u can just tumble and fell into the waterfall.

After i climbed down the waterfall, i thought the hard part was finally over. To my bloody expectation which i pretend it wont going to happen to me,the waterfall was led to a vast river......now what? SWIM? at a moment i really don't mind having my phone drown if i can swim to the rivermouth....but what will happen if there is crocodiles....:D Plus there was no flat land for me to walk on....only slopes which continued from the waterfall.

Luckily there was a long black pipe along the trail ever since i got down from the waterfall. The pipe was hard and strong enough to support my weight. Believe it or not, the journey at this point was continued by tight rope walking on the black pipe on the slope. Its kinda easy with all the branches that u can grab to support yourself but still, there were decayed branches. After a short while, i reached to a place with a water pump generator beside the river and that is where i got reception again. Tons of sms came in again. some sms stated that my gf and her dad already went in the jungle and trek from beach resort till berjaya resort and yet they did not found me. No doubt at that time i was really lost. I received call from Fi and she told me they were having a search party searching for me. I can hear several people shouting my name afar in the phone. Fi told me that if there was no news from me after 5, they lodge report to the police. At the moment i really freaked out. I cannot imagine the faces of everyone when they found me. I kinda feel like staying overnight beside the river ehehehe.....

During the phone conversation, i explained the surroundings of my whereabout to the locals and in an instant they figured where i am. Within 15 mins, i heard voices shouting my name. Long story cut short they found me and once again we gotta walk a back. To my surprise, it was actually 10 minutes walk to the beach from where i stopped.
This is the map of redang. The blue direction shows where i ended up to.


And so i was the laughing stock in the whole blardy Redang. All the locals start calling me Tarzan stating that i was the first person to trek so far in the jungle. When i was walking back with the locals, i asked them how many times incidents like this happened before and they replied none.

And thus my Lost adventure ended approximately 6 pm. I wanna express my thanks to everyone that helped me out including Madam Tan and the Redang Bay crew, the water pump generator. Also for Fi's dad who spend all his vacation day searching for me high and low. Plus encouraging smses from lil Sam. Last but not least, my beloved Fi who worry sick about me, waited for me all day long, trying to call me, and also joing the search team to look up for me. I love you Fi.
