Get Connected-SLC part 2??
Thursday, November 16th, 2006Hmm i guess too much negetive, should say more positive things
Umm… First day was… ok la principal came, and her questions were pretty vague, resulting in very poor response. Stephan Chow was much nicer, more engaging…maybe cuz he was younger… ended off the day with a debrief where i forgot Mrs Loke’s name…. for a brief moment…. dont know why either… but it was an extremely weird feeling… had to recall what i say during morning announcements… that familiar phrase….=) anyway what was cool about that nice was basically… nothing la… all i had for dinner was a chicken drumstick… free one of course…. kindly sponsored by ‘weakest link’ wanted to have more food…. but was too tired to go order delivery… so i just went 2 sleep… poor kenneth had stomache… =S
Day 2 was much better… sitting in a car… moving pass the countryside… at least it was better then the bus…. somehow before we reached the boat, it suddenly stopped raining… =) nice weather by then… lunch was… not bad… hahaz at least it looked edible… boat set off…. nets opened… n… i think keng mun started jumping… hahaz… its kinda freaky when u jump off the 2nd deck… you keep on asking everyone to hurry but when it comes to ure turn, ure hesistant… but no one could be yan ling, i think… she was extremely hesistant… i think we spent a good 20mins trying to get her 2 jump…. in the end she went 2 the 1st deck…. i guess nothing wrong… not much difference…. just that you get to have a bit more hang time when u jump from the 2nd deck… kayak-ed with justin n ivan to the resort…. oh damn we were sucky… for some reason our kayak kept steering right…. had to get tammy to guide us… hahaz… i wanted to just hold onto another kayak… but by then, everyone was ahead of us… =( hahaz… reached the resort… n had to change to dry clothes… obstacle course was fun… hahaz shahidah was always sabo-ed to be the 1st 2 go as she was leader =) hahaz… n we then climbed the coconut tree… too bad the coconuts were about 1m higher up… so none of us could get any… haahz >.< damnit…. day ended…. with dinner… and the odd groups making their way back to campsite… i heard miss thangam’s boat capsized… n zhi chuan lost his specs to the sea :S… lucky his eyesight wasnt too bad… dinner was…. ok…. cold satay wasnt exactly the nicest thing… but i guess it was better then nothing… the started the campfire… which was…. kinda like an open air oven… so basically there was nothing much to it… i thought it would be more… exciting… like everyone sits around the fire…. but our campfire was basically…yar as i said an open air oven… me n justin could not decide if we wanted 2 go for that firefly thing…. but after the guide said the water level was ankle deep and there were 30 people going, we decided to go…. hahaz it was quite nice actually…. dint have to walk very far…. not the 1hour 30minutes most people told me… it was a mere 5min walk before we ’saw’ fireflies… though i couldnt recognise any… poor eyesight…. i couldnt differentiate firefiles from stars…. so when people kept saying their blinking, i was wondering, are those stars? or fireflies??? anyway we walked a bit further… on to this beach, that was kinda muddy… it had glow worms… so darn kewl…. haha dint know it existed… though i dint managed to catch any, i most probably killed a lot…. >.< but it was nice i guess… having stars filling the skies above n the beach filled with glow worms… reached another angsana tree… where this time the guides actually caught fireflies…. i was wondering how they actually did that…. but it was nice… i could finally see what a firefly looked like…. hahaz =D…. on our way back…. we stopped by the tree where we 1st saw the fireflies and the guides once again caught a few more fireflies…. this time it was more hilarious… since i could see them actually climb the trees… its darn cool… its like climbing club minus the ropes n the lights… dont know how they do that… but they managed to climb at least 3meters up a tree… in total darkness… hahaz n it was damn hilarious when they said… OH SHIT….. hahaz had that familiar tone…. even though they said it in their own language…. went back to camp… and our open air oven was dying out…. so sad… hahaz… went 2 clean our feet… and went by the camp fire, in hopes of drying our sandles…. dont know why i did that when i knew were gona wet it the next day… ended up talking about uncles n aunties with benjamin n justin… took me so long to figure out who uncle1 n aunty1 was… erick kindly helped us clean our tent, as it was wet…. but in the end he went to the open air platform to sleep…. with lots of other people… i went to sleep soon after that…. hahaz woke up… hearing chris telling jensen that he sleep-talks…. dint realised it actually happen…. haha i dint hear anything…. =S chris is damn hilarious sometimes… but half the time their talkin in chinese… what to do, their malaysians…. favourite language… chinese… but chris can speak chinese damn fast… as in….FAST FAST =D… if i could speak at that pace, i would probably not be taking chinese B…. not having to see chinese for the next year =) ok i shall forget about that.. for now
hahaz…. we did that rafting thing… so dumb.. >.< we had justin a former scout trying to teach us how to tie the barrels to the platform… n u have like 6 of us trying to follow… in the end we managed to tie it…. n started pushing them out to sea…. quite stupid…. 2 people sit n the rest push… damn tiring… trying to run in the water…. but erick wasnt bad leh…. me n justin started lagging behind…. n erick ended up pushing the raft himself…
thanks erick!!
came back…. and a few people started climbing the coconut tree…. with maryam telling them to get a coconut for her… over 5 people tried and no one could get it…. even maryam herself… in the end erick just told the guide to help us get coconuts… since he was indonesian after all…. the guy got us 3 coconuts… n yes he climbs the tree darn fast…. perhaps it wasnt so entertaining as the guides climbing the mangrove trees with no harness in total darknes…(still find that fasinating) but still he got us 3 coconuts…. n took a parang to help us open it up… =) went for flying fox… i was 3rd last 2 go…. kinda freaky when u get up there… haha but in the end u just do it…. n im so surprised even yan ling did it… after what happened on the 1st day…. i guess cuz this time the guides were," you dont jump i push" hahaz… so everyone choose the jumping option… some even went the 2nd time… after lunch we went into the car….wah lau the car sucked this time… after the ride my whole back was wet!…. so darn hot… =/ hahaz reached the mall… which was a large departmental store with a supermarket…. not what i expected…. hahaz ar well it was a fun trip… n erick suddenly reminded me it was his birthday… lol…though he dint want me to say it out….
Went back to the ferry terminal, where me n justin started to freak out when we couldnt find our bags… dint know kenneth janice… n someone else was holding on to ours bags…. n they went a head… :S so nice of them…. hahaz =D boarded the ferry… headed back to singapore…. played some piggy game with a group of girls… with vanessa being the SUPREME PIG….=D hahaz but i also ended up being one after saying her name =( hahaz went outside… it was extremely nice… windy… and stary night… kinda nice atmosphere…. if not for the few chimneys… but that wasnt too bad i suppose =) somehow chris knew it was erick’s birthday…. n this time we sang him a birthday song… though erick was kinda emotionless… then went 2 talk 2 jensen…. i think he sounds like a thai…. KI boy… me n chris had a fun time telling jensen the difference between KI students n NON-KI students… KI students would bother to go think what other normal people wouldnt even care about… lihong being one of them… hahaz… i guess its part of being a critical thinker and issac newton in the making…. hahaz…. lets see what they will find out in time to come…. =) ferry reached singapore….n took bus back… n finally HOME… u tend to miss home after u have been to a place with no proper toilets… hahahaz
