Whitewater Rafting Trip to Kota Kinabalu

On 2nd. April 2007, six A-Shift staff consisted of Reniel, Hamizan, Faizal, Azwandi, Shahfrien and myself boarded a flight (MAS MH738 piloted by Capt. Lim K.K) to Kota Kinabalu for the extreme Padas River Whitewater Rafting trip.

Later in the afternoon, we went for a snorkeling trip to Pulau Manukan just to kill the time. The next day at 0730hrs, we went to Beaufort, joined by Hidayat of B-Shift, by van and later continued our journey using train from the Beaufort train station. We arrived at the rafting starting-point which is located midway between Beaufort and Tenom. After a short safety briefing, the whitewater rafting started. It was a combination of excitements, thrills and near- death experience when our raft capsized twice. At the end of the rafting, all of us felt very tired and exhausted. We returned back to Brunei on the 4th. April 2007 with full of sweet memories and a whole new experience.
