long week last week[part 2]jungle

so we have day two..


daytwo

we woke up at 6..
jes and sara, my group-and-tentmates,
woke me up with their talking..
heard my alarm ring so i woke up totally..

i got them to get ready without me..
leaving me enough space to taake my stuff out..

i left a bit later to wash my face and brush my teeth..
in the guys' toilet=]..
cicadas ok!!
peeing wasnt even safe anymore!!

i changed into long pants in the tent..
and got my things out so we can leave for the boat..

30-45mins ride.. it wasnt as much fun as i
thought it would be.. i had more fun rides then that one..
but i got quite wet.. that was annoying..

at the island..
[i realised i when entering the village, the village
looked different when leaving it..
i guess it really felt like home..]
it was hard going up onto the village, village hall??
something like that..
i thought we were already there..
BUT!!
up somemore.. ergh!

camp..
it was not a pretty clearing..
we had to clear the area ourselves..
my group had 2 parangs..
[you know, the knid where jungle explorers
use to clear a path..
in real life tthat's not actually necessary..]
we split up to look for things that will help
us with construction of our huts..
i helped cut rafia string for binding wood
together with my dad's knife..

it didnt turn out like i imagined..
but it was cosy enough to sleep on..
actually since i had no choice, it was cosy..

so the whole morning thru halfway afternoon..
all we did was prepare for our stay..
at around 4 all of us went to the village center
for a little fun activity.. BLOWPIPING!!

i cant really explain much here..
but after the test run, there was like prize-winning
like competition thing..

so we try aim for targets with tags of the food types
we can eat for the whole journey..

my group got 2 cans of curry chicken..
we ate them for tonight's night dinner
and tomorrow's dinner..
it made dinner taste a whole lot better..

Long week Last week[part 3] trekking and darts

ya, so there's part two..


daythree
we woke up at arnd 6 or 6.30 am..
it almost seems as though i could
wake up at 4..
[we could actually wake up on our own]
at 8 am sharp we assembled to get ready for
TREKKING!

here was where we met our guide..
i spoke mainly malay to him..
{it was a bit hard since im not very good at it.. hehe=]}

he told us abt a lot of things..
abt 45 mins up the trail..
we all got tired.. [it was tiring, ok?]
he said, "it's not even been an hour
and you're already tired?!" [he said it in malay]
hah.. we're.. spoilt.. hehe...

so on the way up.. there really is
nothing much to say abt..
[just that most off us chewed tongkat ali(viagra) for strength]
so what's left to say is that at the top of the trek
was a spectacular view!
absolutly beautiful..[too bad no photos, coz handphone taken away]

10 mins later, we went back down,
but taking a detour to a mini waterfall nearby..
so it was a trek down..
[somehow it was much faster and easier]
our group took a much more fun route..
the guides[jackie and some other guy] just
prepared a new one for us to trek with..


the waterfall was cold!
[i was somehow able to withstand it]
we spent another 10 mins there..
i didnt bathe coz i didnt really wanted
to inconvience myself to go abt changing..

every group stayed for 10 mins..
[almost every activity where we can relax seem to only last 10mins]
so we left.. our guide seem to care more abt me
than anyone else.. [hehe, in a kind way, ok!]

so we got back.. did a few things..
[girls got a punishment.. something censored]
a few guys help make a bonfire
and the rest resumed with the 'daily routine'..
[of making dinner and such]
so at about 6[i think, it's been weeks when i wrote this part]
my group sat together and had dinner..
we thoroughly discussed what we were
going to do to entertain the Orang Asli..

Bonfire Time

so we kinda made up our mind..
it was the easiest to do anyway..
i consider it pretty lame, but who am i to say?!
did i contribute any ideas.. so whatever yea..
other groups gave modern performances..
i thought that is not such a good idea coz
would the children understand it anyway??

i mean the bonfire thing was to give them a fun show
and donate our extra rice and other leftover food to them..

ours was an animals runway show..
[well, that waas the initial idea.. guess it got kinda messy(;]
kinda hot near the flames, felt as though the hair on
my skin got burnt=]..
i was near there to avoid embarrassment. hehe

i was glad it actually ended.. woooohooh..
so when we got back i went straight to bed..
the day was extremely tiring..

this is the end of day three.. as you may have noticed..
this is part 3.. you may scream out where's part 2..

i kinda got mixed up with the days.. so day 3 had to come first=]

long week last week [part1] hunter rocks!

woohoo!pahang camp rocks
that was the most enjoyable ride of my life.
hahaha!wooohooo.. ok.. now im bored..
all you kepo people will definately be jealous of the
adventure i went thru.
hahaha
[sorry people, something must have gotten into her head on the last day of camp,
coz she's been acting differently ever since she left the jungle]

day one
twas to be a long journey to pahang
[pls la syazzy.. dont be lame..]
hehe.. whatevr *****(she write smaller)
woke up at 4.45.. so sian..*yawns*
left for school at 5.45.. still so sianz..*yawn*
[my bag was the biggest and heaviest of all the students]

bus to malaysia.. read book a bit, sleep a bit
[i wanted to put two inverted commas on the last a bit put she stopped me]
transferred bus at malaysia customs..
blahblahblah....
[she say she's "too busy" you write everything down but i'll tell you..

after m'sia customs, it was another long trip with many stops for like
evry 3-6 hours.. the first stop was for lunch, we missed the breakfast stop.
then we stopped at a gas station, and at almost 4 or after 4, we went to another
gas station, petronas, and the whole of sec 3 or 15/16-year-olds wanted to buy
some stuff(this part is impt yall) tidbits probably for the rest of the trip..
maybe for the camp as well.. other fellow hunters probably bought
it for during the camp. we had no intentions of doing that..
we spent 45mins there coz everyone was kiasu abt buying their stuff..
then when our bus almost reach a resort we should go to before a boat trip to
one of the many orang asli village, we got into an accident.. didn't quite know
exactly what happened but i think the car was speeding at a bend and scratched our
bus.. the car was in very bad condition.. about 15 minutes later the 2 teachers on our bus
told us to get everything out of the bus and change to another one that was already
on its way. so when we finally arrived at the resort we missed our boat to the island..
but actually right according to the schedule, we were not late for anything..
our boat ride was on the next morning..]

ok now my turn.. you ah, make people strain their
eyes only.. haiz.. ya, now my turn..
the girls from my bus[hunter 3 & 4] didn't have to
pitch any tents, coz the guys from hunter 2 and 1
already pitched them for us.. maybe coz it was to late
and too dark for us to do anything.. so we just had to be
briefed about the next day's[and next post yall] activities..
so ya not much excitement here but you must remember
these points coz they'll be on the next few posts..

points to remember or look out for:
  • food bought at petronas

i think that's about what you should remember for this episode

and for the next 4 episodes/posts..=] so yup.. thats about it..

look you for the next few post aites!!
