Exploration to Green Ridge (2)

Now it is the second day to Green Ridge

I called CEO around 10am yet he told me that he was too tired to go...

I felt so disappointed seriously. I thought that why he can be so irresponsible...xp..can simply said too tired then not going

As what we planed, this time we gathered in front of steamboat restaurant at 11am and waited for Ah Ba to come

Mosquito came just after we arrived

Oh...by the way, we got another two new members this time who were big sister and professor yeen...

Big sister refused to go the day before because she pantang of the date

Jool bro brought salt this time and he wore long pants,so do mosquito

Meanwhile, Ah Ba arrived by CEO's motor!!!

CEO came at last..I scolded him for bluffing me...aiz...><

Ok, now seven of us were here that we started our tour

All shoes this time

Everyone were wearing sport shoes finally...You know la...people are always very gatal...need to get some lesson only they willing to be prepared...

New trend created by Mr. PC...Tun, you should learn this...^^

Ah Ba wore long pants as well and hid his pants into his long socks..=.=(i would rather been sucked by leech,haha...)

We changed our route this time that we climb the drain behind to get to the hill

We saw the place where CEO climbed up yesterday and where he said nothing

There was a half-way building tablet and some benches

A secret staircase was found after the tablet

Suddenly, one of us saw a hidden staircase at the left hand side of the tablet

We were so excited and mounted it with big steps

"This must be the right way this time", I think all of us thought this at that time. It was 11.30am.

We kept climbing and climbing that soon we started to feel our heavily breathing

We started tired. Nevertheless, none of us shouted to rest

We were too excited to climb up following the vividly pathway up to the hill

The pathway can be seen clearly...

I saw a trench in the half way.

I looked at mosquito and gave her some hint

The trench that made both mosquito and I communicate using heart..^^

"Don't you think it is like something...", I asked.

"Yeah Yeah.." mosquito answered. We were so tacit understanding each other as we have made an agreement that no any words of "war, japanese, british.." spoken in the jungle.

We continued to walk further into the jungle

The white bandaged left after which we used as a guidance to us

We saw some white bandage on the tree and it might be the hint left by the hikers before, perhaps Mr. Chye I thought.

Who is Mr. Chye? Alright, he is a war historian who did a lot of researches on the battle of Kampar for years.

He likes to introduce Green Ridge to the people to prevent people from forgetting the epic and important war. Heard that many army officers came to him to get his lecturing.

Bamboo was seen in the jungle as well

Come back to where we stop. we saw bamboo in the jungle as well which we thought that quite unique to find bamboo in jungle.

The road became harder that we passed by another huge trench. It probably was a river(maybe).

There we saw a well just after the trench.

The well which impressed me a lot

We stayed at there for awhile to take photo

Big sister kept saying that there must be someone lived at here in the past.otherwise why there's well here

I now remembered that I did not tell her the background story of Green Ridge.

We pretended nothing and kept walking into the jungle

until to another blind alley that no path can be found

O...another things that i have forgotten...we saw many forks in the road that we have to choose the way

We kept turning and turning in the jungle to find our "destination"

We thought there will be a monument or kubu in the top of the hill

After few rounds turning in the jungle, everyone were exhausted and almost giving up

I decided to send a msg to Tun, telling him that we could not find the kubu

Besides, I also asked CEO to ask Shu who came before the map

Tun asked me to ask elween (senior) of the road yet the point is he has never been here before.(CEO then called him and told him that we were in Green Ridge XD)

Shu called me back after he got my message. He told CEO the way but everything were too abstract

The staircase built by the British I think

He also told CEO that it was his local friend who brought him into the jungle previously

I asked him to ask his friend for detail....however....

After waiting for almost an hour in the jungle, we decided to leave the jungle

However, Ah Ba, CEO and I could not admit the defeat and we kept searching for ways yet it was useless

What we got is more injuries from the thorn of the plant...
I can remember what Jool Bro said, "how can I earn money with my leg hurt"
Thus that means that other than legs, his another part cannot face people...

Thorn that hurt our beautiful leg

At last we went back to where the tablet was and took the picture of the tablet

Then only we went back to Tesco, our base, to have our lunch~

At night, when I google-ed the Green Ridge again... I find no any words of kubu or monument in the jungle

What i got is only trenches and holes where British army hid to shoot Japanese troops can be found in the jungle...=.=...so it means that we were there already

Wow...we managed to get there without any guidance of the local and with bare hand...

This is the spirit of us...I guessed..

By the way, while we were in the jungle, my friends told me" Your chief editor treated u so good hor...ask you to come here to play."

Some even told me that I should have invited him to here...Yeah...I should..><..haha...

Gave tribute to them who killed

Throughout the journey, honestly I don't feel any strong sorrowness while I passing through those trenches...

I think it is because I was not there and I could not feel the feeling they got

What I can do is to pray fro them and hope them to rest in peace...

Buddha bless them....

Spirit of satu padu is important in a jungle hiking

The drain where we started our journey
