this year council camp is far much more better then last year one.....this year,we went malaysia gopeng,perak..........it is a 4 days 3 nights camp...........activities schedule is tight too.....well,the first two day we stayed in murni camp which is located at the countryside, the outskirt of the city.....the only thing i hate about that is the existence of insects!every spots leaves the trace of all kinds of insects........+_+argh!!!!!from small to big,from black to red,from those crawlers to those that spread their wings and fly....and at the 3rd day,we will move to a 5 star hotel[cant wait for it]......i will start from the very beginning of the whole trip .........
1st day..........
all councillors gathered punctually in the school at 7.30am sharp with huge backpacks slung from shoulder to shoulder.......and some is even exaggerating.with 3 or 4 bags.....consisting of sling,haversack,backpack............then all of us wrote down our particulars in the embarkation card........after that,we were split into 2 different grps.....grp 1 and grp 2.....unluckily, nicolette and i fell into grp1......whereas zqh,reeta,changhee,qingning landed in grp2........wad a loner i became.....at 8.15,all councillors boarded 2 different buses according to our allocated grp no......well,as expected,i sat alone........-_-a sudden loneliness surge inside me........i feel solitude.....and thought of frens......like[shuxin,siying,arvin,kiran,kok kiong,william,anthony,zhehuan]...........i being alone,cant help feeling lonely......everyone was chatting happily away,laughing and joking........pairs or even trio or even quartets together....but y is it only me solo?obviously,i cant mingle around with them nor can i speak the way i am......noe wad i mean?i cant present myself the way i am and i cant speak freely...u all noe how i am like in front of u guys and gals.........i jux noe that i am sad for some unknown reasons...i recollected the memories we[frens mentioned above] once had......the time we laughed hysterically,we joked,we talked craps,we played,we poured out feelings to one another and does things together..........reminiscing the times we spent together.........is sweet yet bitter at that time....u all werent there.....u wouldnt have guessed how i felt.........im glad that i had frens like u all......the memories has always keep me warmth and happy.....i would even smile stupidity to myself.............
we travelled for 8 hrs and stopped for lunch and toilet breaks from time to time....and is still alone wherever i go........perhaps im anti-social,inarticulate,ineloquent...........therefore no one will befriend me...........is that it?never mind,i knew the answers well enough......................................
at 5.40,we reached our destination after alighting off the bus and took 2 different lorries[one for each grp] into murni campsite...the track that we took was rather muddy.........and was fun throughout the whole ride.......stooping high and low,left and right so as to avoid hitting sticking branches,huge leaves and twigs that stick out from nowhere.........after about 7 min,we reached murni campsite...........speaking truthfully,i was rather disappointed but nonetheless glad that we r not pitching tent ......instead we r sleeping in hut...........we check out the whole vicinity after unpacking...........the toilet but i would rather call it latrine........and the shower place is rather expose.......theres 5 showering pipe and others from outside could see ur head sticking out......can u imagine?????no privacy at all..........no curtain or wadsoever..........and the cubicle is small and narrow and is pitch black.....although there is light in each cubicle,the bulb will flicker on and off..rather scary...imagine it went black suddenly when u r changing........*_*
well,our survival instinct.........wear clothes and bathe.........then change in cubicle.........thats wad we did..........................
bathe=dint bathe
after everyone bathed or showered,we gathered in the canteen and wait for the arrival of the food........{cooked by the locals}..............we queued up and get our food......after that,we sat down and waited for everyone to get theirs then did we start........im famished but still ate very little..........too weary i guessed.........
after dinner,we were briefed for tomorrow activities.........canyoning[waterfall abseiling] and white water rafting......
then turn in early for tomorrow tiring activities....but before that,we gals made a DIY changing room in our hut.....zzzzzzzzz
2nd day.......................
we woke up early in the morning to wash up and ate breakfast and set off to the abseiling spot............watching the water gushing down from the top was incredibly scary.....we were stunned.........one by one we wore the helmet and the harness............my turn came and i trekked up to the spot where we will descend.......the feeling is only scary!well,i slipped and laid in a m position...hahax.........then with water gushing down,i persevere and was able to land safely.................after everyone had their turn.we moved on to the next activity;white water rafting!!but before that we had a fabulous lunch....very very nice....hahaxxxxx........
phew,this activity is really tiring and exhausting......panting all the way.....its really a long way to paddle.....1 thing that was hilarious was charlotte's grp,other team shouting {one two one two....}to move on and move forward.....but theirs,was keep turning around and around...hahahaha......bwahahahaha
at the mid point,ku and i fell into the river after our raft hit on to a rock during rapid!that was oww.....my hand swell.........then found muhdnur laughing.......in the end he fell too and fell 3 times.......haha...my turn to laugh....and i admit!i laugh the loudest!!!!!!!!the moral of the story is that never laugh at others if not retribution will befall u!
end point is at the murni camp[theres a river beside it]
after such tiring activity,poor grp 1 got to collect firewoods for campfire!!!we fed the mosquitoes and its really painful......i was jumping up and down.........argh!!!carrying heavy firewoods into the shack and fed the mosquitoes .......its not the worst!the worst thing that we faced is heavy downpour!imagine torrential rain while u shower[remember wads mention above,no shelter jux pipe to bathe under the rain].......bathe=dirty...........
grp 2 was so fortunate!they bathe with sunshine,need not feed the mosquitoes,carry heavy firewoods......good for them.................but poor grp2............'bathe' le still wet..........
at night,due to the unstoppable rain,campfire canceled ..!_!
then everyone had dinner and went to pack bagpack cox we will be leaving the next day....staying in hotel!!!!!!!
3rd day
we had breakfast and then got into the lorry and set off for caving!!!!we were briefed and headed into the cave....the shapes of the stalagmites is really interesting!!theres elephant,unicorn,cat,chicken,a pregnant woman,monkey god,car,dinosaur and monalisa!after much crawling and walking,we had to go through 1ooo flight of steps!and finally out of the cave.............but before that,we experience the wind tunnel........with natural wind as cold and cool as air con but it isnt!its natural wind.......thats fascinating...........everybody washed up,we headed to the hotel!!!!!its really cold and comfy..........and the hot water is soothing for my nerves.......finally a good bath and sleep..........at night,we were brought to a shopping mall to settle our own dinner...me hazi and reeta shopped ourselves......helping reeta to look out for a bigger bag cox her current one was torn..........after reeta had chosen,we had our dinner with a few of the others at a cafe......i ate spaghetti ......not bad only but prefer pasta mania........haha...and chang hee bought claire a bag,me hazi reeta each a watch.....but i got to choose for both hazi and me cox my eye sight better...oops!hahaha
