...or lazily lie on the lawn chairs of life and let the days pass them by idly.
For the Kuans, the final morning of their expedition brought with it the excitement of maneuvering solo or in a team, a kayak or a bamboo raft.
The more adventurous ones chose the fast moving but unstable kayaks...
...while the bamboo rafts provided the chance to experience a whole new way of gliding through the waters...
...and an opportunity to experiment of paddling in a unique fashion...
...with your bare hands while lying flat on your stomach.
The final mission, which was delivered in the form of a self exploding teddy bear held by the most adorable girl (who was suffocating the bear with the poly bag)...
...was to leave your hand prints on the bridge which connects Pulau Banding, which lies in the middle of Lake Temenggor, to the mainland.
Few made it, and felt better for achieving it, but for those who did not, well, didn't know that that was what was expected of them.
Many emerged from their kayaks and rafts as dry as a marathon runners throat after 30 KM, but those with balancing problems and a high center of gravity had to contend with walking back to camp drenched from head to toe.

The last leg of the journey consisted of going hunting for pork chop again for lunch at Lenggong, and the best hawker fare that Ipoh has to offer.
The Kuan convoy finally returned to Kuala Lumpur (which, ironically, in English, means "muddy estuary") around midnight, eager for a shower and their warm bed and a long weekend of unpacking to do.
