FRIM with company

Went to FRIM with company on Sunday (yesterday) despite my right calf muscle cramp. Had this muscle cramp the day before when I was sleeping and could not walk properly since then. But, I miss the smell of forest and summore I was the one who kept bugging JY to go with me. So, I went.


The first time I went to FRIM was when I was taking the elective subject called Ecology in Monash during my second year which was in 2004. I remember myself struggling to push myself continue walking up the slope, panting very heavily. This time, I think there's some improvement, no more panting and leg sore, thanks to my swimming training.

Pond for giant fish (I dun remember the name)


In forest

Bamboo canopy. Nice!

Elephant tree. Can you see the trunk?

The famous canopy in FRIM. The guide said everyone come here just to take a look at this canopy.

Big tree with big root. Dun ask me the name. lol. Dun remember. According to the guide, orang asli tap on the root to communicate with one another in the forest.


The canopy walk!

We're on the bridge! lol.

The concrete jungle, the real jungle and me on the canopy walk

Rizal on the bridge. This bridge is the most scariest of all. The planks are a bit senget. But I think Germany architecture should be trustworthy. Shouldn't be a problem.


Going down and out

Going down the hill
