Tempurungified! PART TWO

..as we were starting the exciting part..I realise i was getting immune to the bats dropping smell(guano) although I m sure it will be pungent at first for first timers. I remembered having to crawl in knee deep waters to move forward.At times I felt as if we are the last generations of human walking through deeper and deeper to survive in the cave for generations until we can come out again.One thing I tried avoiding was-to get wet.mani laughed at my wish...she said she wants to see how long i can stay dry.True enough by the time we ended the cave trip i was fully soaked wet.Mani had even the time to wash her hair at some nice waterfalls along the trail.the water was really refreshing...unfortunately i couldnt wash mine because it was not ten years ago where i had a nice lushful hair.Nevertheless it was great . At one point we got lost.I was so glad we got lost because I just love it when suprises props up.I didnt want to show my happiness when everyone looked worried n started to see where the guides were.By then i was imagining we being guided out of the cave by rescue workers with TV lights n camera zooming in on us and asking us how we could have survived 3 days in the cave lost....but Mani's voice tuned off my dreams.The guides appeared from no where n led us back to the trail. As we reached out ,I was struck with feeling of satisfaction. A feeling of triumph....interestingly i felt a feeling of conquering my self that was hidden in the deep ends of the cave in my heart.The Leonard that went missing since 2007.I knew he was there n i knew i will find him.Was i glad i found myself.(if you are wondering I m still sane ok!) After having lunch which was awesome...I was in the bus exausted and we ended in Bukit Tinggi by nite fall. Nice French themed building place..just went like a tourist taking pictures..it was here I told myself of certain decisions i decided to keep for life though I had started doing since last year.Gua Tempurung became a catalyst for me and for my transformation. GENTING was just pure fun.I had never enjoyed Genting as much as this.The cable ride was just super awesome! Zoo Negara pass by my notes as a tiring place to walk around. Finally it was Batu Caves the pinnacle part of the trip for me. It was 275 steps up ,and Pn Mani accompanied me ,she was telling how the place evokes a sense of peace in her and she does this to thank the LORD for the guidance he has provided.For me I felt it was a journey up to my consciousness.A journey of new determinations n new leaf of life.And I felt this trip has been set in a way just for me to see the wonder of life in as simple way it is.When I looked at Pn Mani..I realised i have a fren who is taking me on a journey of discovery and adventure.it couldnt have been more beautiful than that. This trip re-minded myself of the wonderfull role i have been comissioned by god-Son,Brother,Husband,Father and Friend and TEACHER.Have I fullfilled all this roles properly? Somehow this trip provided me the answer and solutions. So after descending the steps of batu Caves,I headed to bus,Pn Mani gives me a laddu,..I gues it was a perfect analogy for my trip a very sweet journey indeed. my heart said what a terrific time i had.Ever since my posting at PFS its very seldom I get to hang out with my colleagues except for the band events where Girlie,Bee Yan,Jick Lim are my buddies.This time it was different ...I saw the unique sides of my colleagues...they were with their sons as mothers..and even the ever cheerful girlie was mothering her niece...i know for sure i saw womanhood in action.Mani was like a supermom.Its obvious that wisdom was all around transcending her,a strong willed character i sensed. I was extra carefull not to make her upset.I saw the lecture the boys got whenever they delayed in coming down from their rooms or the bus. As for me I headed back Penang with a feeling of awesomeness.A journey through my heart ..over the the years the world has bombarded me with worldly stalagmites and stalactites ..and at times just wondered aimlessly in cave .I knew the light was at the end but to go tru all the hassle was not easy going alone..but with god send help i knew i was guided and reached to see myself in full splendour and wit musical resonance(just like the PIPE ORGAN) of the original design the creator sculpted me...THANK YOU TO THE TOURISM CLUB n PN MANI ,PN LI YEONG,CIK GIRLIE,PN POOMANI,PN RATNA..and the BOYS n GIRLS who made my journey a musical i would hum for eternity.
