Experience

White water rafting is a sport that seems risky, at least to me. To put oneself in the middle of the raft, cruising in the middle of the river stream, where the flowrate of the river is highest, seems like the most silly thing to do on earth. I have heard of the life raft overturning, people thrown into the water and drown, just like that. We never know what will happen. It is a high-risk activity.

Certainly, I argued with myself quite a few times for a few days. Should I? or Should I not? I plucked several flowers and peeled of its petals, deciding to go or not to go? Until all the flowers in my garden were de-flowered, and bald, as if all its flowers had been harvested for perfumes or tea.

Finally, I decided to go. After going through such a stressful cycle, I really need to let it all out. So, I paid RM 168 and signed up for my first ever white water rafting experience.

My sole aim was to release all the pent up energy within me. I did not even bother to enquire about the venue, date or time. I was desperate.
