Trek Part 4
So we reached our camp base, and the guys set about gathering firewood, for nothing, cause in the end they didn't use it. -.- They were very drama though. They actually pulled down this trunk/HUGE branch thing, like tarzans... And after they managed to get it down, they basically stared at each other, wondering how they were going to chop it up. -.- Sigh... the girls gave up staring at their bewilderment and headed for the river thing, our bathing area. Wait, let me rephrase that. We were off to bathe IN THE RIVER! Haha how cool is that? Sorry, no photographs on this, it's umm PRIVATE. Nah, though the guys and girls bathed together, we took NO clothes off OKAY? No cloth or whatsoever. Nada. We umm took quite a while to bathe haha. Initially we were a wee self conscious. It was so cold! A few seniors very kindly splashed water on us, and i nearly died there. I felt like "rose" in titanic who was freezing to death in the cold winds and waters. Anyway, we waded in, SLOWLY, opened our shampoo bottles, SLOWLY, poured out the soap, SLOWLY, and EVER SO SLOWLY washed our hair. And then an amazing thing happened. Jia zhen who was beside me, suddenly floated up, with her legs in the air, and sank back down into the water. WHOA. MAGIC! Haha, and on the other side, krystel and stephanie were washing each other's hair. COOL, a salon! Behind me, Eileen was trying very carefully to balance on a rock and wash herself without getting her hair wet. Okay so FINALLY we were done. We probably took 2 hours? Haha Longest bath i've ever had in my entire life!
Upon reaching our tentage area, our group members were hilarious! One commented that we drowned in the river, haha since we took so long. Hahaha. Dinner time it was however, so we had to assist in cooking! Unfortunately, the people there were so efficient, they had already started, and there didn't seem to be anything we could do. We were free... again. So we sat down, and LOOKED.
Ahhh we're cooking! =) That bright orange thing is uhh me. haha Wore orange as i was afraid i would get lost haha, so orange is well, see-able. hahaha
The fella looking into the camera is Caleb! Haha Jia Zhen thought he was a girl. We were looking through the names of those in our group, and i insisted "Caleb" is a boy... hahaAhh something for krystel and me to do! PASTA! We took the mess tins and started cooking pasta. Obviously, we weren't very good at it, so haha, it was one unhealthy meal. We added too much milk, too much butter, too much of everything except the pasta, which was limited. -.- Yeah yeah, keep those comments to yourself. BUT, they still tasted real good =) Usually, unhealthy stuff taste good hahaha. There wasn't anything else to do other than the pasta, so jia zhen felt relaly bored and stoned. Poor girl, but it's alright, we all enjoyed eahc other's company. The two itnernational guys behind us (vietnamese and mongolian) were largi best. One was SLEEPING, and the other uhh, hmmm... Haha but when we were done cooking, we passed around spoonfuls of food feeding each other. Rex's a pretty darn good cook! Lucky us. There was mee sua, curry chicken and potatos, fish, egg, luncheon meet, and of course AHEM pasta!
Halfway through our meal... ... ... AIYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SCORPION LURKING IN THE GRASS!!!
Ahhh our saviours. Someone put it away in a box. =)I think they wanted to cook the scorpion and eat it or something, but ummm...
Oh yeah! And then sigh, we had to pee. Haha this was so funny! There was nowhere to pee! So jean, krystel, jia zhen adn i had to run to sme ulu place with bushes, and...
"one, two THREE! SQUAT AND PEE! QUICK QUICK!!"
Yep, that's what we did, we stood in a row, and peed for all our worth, and ran back to camp, half embarrassded but half proud that we did it. We were real jungle women! Now all we needed were leopard skin bras and bottoms. -.-
That was the reason why we held our shit the entire trip! Haha, we so did not want to dig a hole in the ground, shit, and then cover it back up! Though of course, it would have been good fertiliser for the soil... haha
Ahhh here comes the fun part of the night. We didn't want to sleep jsut yet, although it would have been a wise thing, since we hardly slept the night before, and we were going to have to set off at 6 plus the next morning for Bukit Paranoma. So we all gathered in the girls tent, for a reason. A 6 man tent filled with 10 people? Haha WHY? Let me tell you why. (jia zhen, laugh now) The girls were afraid of these humongous flying ants, plus baby ones, that were attracted to our torch lights! Thus, they all went screaming into the tent. I wasn't scared, but i was grossed out. Imagine them crawlign all voer me, *shivers* But i wasn't hysterical. With everyone screaming and yelling though, i started to panic a little. -.- Haha jz too! Initially she was calm, then she began to get clumsy like me! Haha i tried picking up the ants with tissue paper, but the more the girls squeaked, the mroe i dropped the ants. In the end, i think my tissue paper picking amounted to nothing. Sigh...
Well the whole thing was very dramatised lar. It was kinda like a comedy actually, cause the guys were relaly sweet. Imagine...
5 beautiful princessess are terrified of the dangerous man eating dragons. 5 knights in shining armour rode on their horses, took out their swords and slayed the scary dragons. All stayed in a palace and lived happily ever after...
But in reality, it were 5 girls screaming in a tent, afraid of flying ants. 5 boys in slippers and short, ran to our tents, and plucked/shoot/snapped these ferocious insects away with tissue papers, torchlights and tees. Everyone went into one tent, and played UNO plus heart attack plus bluff. Hahahaa cute eh?
Uno was... boring after a while. Haha It was such a long game and no one was winning! It was very obvious who was losing though, and that was Sebastian haha, cause he kept drawing, and drawing, and drawing....... 4, 8, 12......
Heart attack... Hmmm.. It was alright, but we couldn't ;play it forever, and it was hard for 20 hands to pile up in the center. haha
I think everyone had the msot fun during the game of "Bluff". It was nuts! We constantly guessed the wrong people, and had to take the whole pile. Jean was cute. In all the games, she was honest, and the ONE TIME she bluffed, she was caught. Haha. Guess who lost in the end? Yours truly. The last 3 losers had to do a forfeit, truth and dare. We were William, Krystel and me. WHO on earth would chose the dare right? So we chose truth. Our questions were basically the same.
"Which person of the opposite gender, in ODAC, do you admire the most?"
William never did answer, but oh well. Krystel chose Eileen's partner on the trek, and i wanted to too, but she was faster. Why? Cause he's a sweet guy! When eileen's track shoes died on her, he actually lent her his sandals and walked barefoot all the way back! Poor guy. Haha, but nvm. I had another one in mind. And that was, Jia zhen's partner, our hero! I mentioned he helped us carry our bag right, so that was one point. The other was that he seemed to take an initiative in doing stuff. He was the first one to get the firewood (albeit of no neccessity), and he was always the one sweeping away branches during our lorry ride.
Ahh so taht was about it. After the game, we went to watch fireflies. So pretty! =) But we didn't take pictures. Too busy trying to find our way in the dark. It was pitch black out there okay. Goodness! After taht we went to bed! Will tell you mroe about bedroom activities in part 5! Haha

8th November 2006
Anyway, wow angel replied to my posts! Thank you. I do want to support you, but i don't know how to. I'm sorry for that, but never forget that you ARE part of my life, and you've left a mark in my heart okay?
Anyway, i think i shall stop all this blogging thing and go do my computer assignments. Hurry hurry!

7th November 2006
Anyway, this will be one short entry. Busy. Too many assignments to hand up. Exams coming. Tests. GRAAAAHHHHH
Something's funny with angel. I'm not sure if i should put it up here, cause usually i don't like putting things up on the blog, things that i might not want the world to know. But i think it's okay, right? And i can't seem to find the right time to talk to angel without interruptions so i just hope she reads this and not get mad at me. I haven't had the time nor energy to analyze the situation properly anyway, so i might be wrong. My point is, i'm feeling real guilty cause i haven't been there for angel. I'm not finding any excuses, i'm just saying time is not on our hands and i hope she understands. I think she's mad at me too, but i am at a loss. I don't know how to help her, and i can't sit down properly to think cause... everything's just too rush. I think probably my priorities have changed too, perhaps? Studies is at the top right now, and i'm just too kan chiong. Maybe it isn't as hard work as i think it is, maybe i'm just stressing myself up, but i really do find it stressful. Nothing i can't handle, but it does take up energy and brain power. AND TIME. Shoot time. It passes by way too fast.
Back to the point. Am i being paranoid, or thinking too much? Cause i sometimes think angel's smile is fake or something. Like, she's putting on a mask, and i don't know if it's an attempt to make me feel less guilty, or she wants me to guess what's up. I'm sorry angel, but it's messing with my head. I can't seem to guess very well anymore. Maybe it's ebcause i cna't see your expression, or hear your voice, so the esp thing isn't quite right. I don't know lar, but i do hope we wouldn't be mad at each other or drift like SUPER far apart, cause no matter what, it's a friendship i treaure.
Shawn smsed me but i don't quite want to disturb him. Don't know lar. Kinda tired right now. Sleepy.
So now i've said my part. I'm off! Back to studying something or toher. so many thigns to do, not quite sure where to start. And something's wrong with my dumb browser.
Maybe i need to eat more ice cream. hmmm

Trek part 3
We waded in a river to cross over to the other bank. For the other girls, the height of the wtaer was probably slightly below the waist. For me, it was either the chest, or in certain parts, the shoulders. Blah. I was soaking wet. Oh well
Everyone was assigned a partner to help then up the trek, and i... had no partner. -.- NVM i am superwoman, with muscles! So we climbed up slopes, walked on river beds, slipped on stones, climbed over tree trunks, slided on rocks with algae...swung from tree to tree... OKAY i was kidding with the last one, but there really was a part when we had to use a nylon rope to sort of abseil down this tiny cliff thing.
Yep, can you imagine us trekking through this kind of......One of the girls in front of me, an ODAC girl, saw a leech on her leg and started screaming, then she fell. I panicked and knew i was supposed to tlak to her to calm her down or something, but i didn't know what to say to her! Argh, anyway, after that incident, i decided to continuously walk without stopping. Die die i wanted to keep on the move, cause i figured out that if i do that, leeches would not have the chance to jump on me!
Incident of the day: Jia zhen had THREE leeches on the same spot, and another one somewhere else! WOW! POWER WOMEN! Such a drama queen haha. I think they truied to burn the leeches off her or something, but in the process, she was burned a little, by the lighter. Poor girl. At least the burnt mark is no longer there... =)
Eileen and Jia Zhen trekking...
Eileen and Jia Zhen yet again... Haha they look like shephered with those sticks. Useful stuff though.. Helped us along. It was like a third leg.
FINALLY we saw the waterfall. If i had the energy i could have jumped for joy, but my heart was jumping anyway. THEN WHAT?! That wasn't the end! Yes, we SAW th waterfall, but we didn't REACH it. GOODNESS i could have fainted right there... I was just looking up, up and up... wondering how on earth we were going to climb the boulders to reach the base of the waterfall sigh... For one moment there i thought we were climbing to the TOP of the waterfall but... nope. Whew! Anyway, sigh, boulders boulders boulders. Climb Climb Climb... I really felt like a spider. I was on all fours trying to find my footing, AND bearing, cause i was starting to get confused. My biggest fear was that one of the boulders would come loose and fall down on all of us. Thank you Lord for keeping me alive!
So well, Krystel, Stephanie and i were the first ones up there, so we decided to wait for Eileen and Jia Zhen.
We're in that tiny corner on the far left...
In the mean time, we waded into the waterfalls. Halfway though, uhh i fell, and dragged everyone down with me, so we were all shivering and cold. Sebastian, one of the guys in my gorup, then cajoled us to go all the way in, since we were already wet. So we did, and spashed around wondering where eileen and jz were.
YAY finally we saw them, posing... -.- haha
Eileen didn't want to go in, but jia zhen did! I swam back to the "shore" to "collect" her and at the same time grab a water bottle for Jean, one of my group leaders.
Jia Zhen - QUITE dry, before she went into the water
Somehow, jz and i spashed our way back to the girls, and within 5 minutes of jz's arrival, the girld wanted to swim back! Haha jia zhen was like "But i jsut got here!!" Therefore, we stayed a little while more. That was when we took pictures UNDER THE WATERFALL ITSELF! Cool eh? Too abd we haven't got those pictures yet. Sigh, must find the guy who used his waterproof camera lar...
Here are a few waterfall scenery pictures... ... ... Really pretty =)
The Waterfall in its entirety... i think
The bottom of the waterfall...
After out swim - Jia Zhen and me
After our swim - the wet me and the dry eileen
Right it was time to get back to "shore". Steph and i followed louis while the rest swam back. Louis led us through some sort of funny path, and steph and i were lik -.- "??? What kind of way is this? Haha" As can be seen from this picture, i FELL -.-
By then, all of us were shivering lar. It was freezing cold! Gahhhh.... Time to go back! Sigh, going back down, back to our tents was one tough trek. To me, it was harder than going up. This time, i really needed a partner, and YAY louis was my knight! =) Haha i was so tired already; thus, more clumsy and had absolutely NO stability. Usually i fell, bringing louis down with me, or he fell, bringing me down with him!! -.- Haha a wonderful pair we make -.- Oh oh i nearly forgot! My group was the first one to go down, and it was my turn to carry the shared knapsack i had with jia zhen. Sigh i was a little afraid cause i was relaly scared about going down and the knapsack seemed to be hindering me. HALLEJUAH for jia zhen's partner! Ahhh more about him later! Muahahaha! For now, jsut take it that he offered to help me carry the knapsack, in addition to his own bag. BTW, he helped jz carry the bag on the way up too. Ahhhh =)
Okay blah blah blah fell down, got back up, fell down, slipped, got cuts, bruises, went back on track.... ... ... ... ... My group decided to take a funny route. Everyone used the dry root, which was the jungle terrain, but i don't know why my leader led us through the river bed -.- Oh well
The obscene river bed where i kep faling on my knees and backside
YAY! WE REACHED OUR CAMP BASE! Episode trek 4 coming up, the next time i'm free... Watch out for it! Don't give up on me! I'll finish this, i promise!
6th November 2006
Rushed into class and realised oops, i was late. No matter, cuase the group i was evaluating is the second group, but then i had to evaluate the first group for eileen and stephanie. Felt like a little bumble bee. Haha somehow mondays are never good days. We're never on time. What can i say, it's a 9am class! And.... rekha was panicking too cause too had to evaluate a group. Hai ya, thsi evaluation thing is........... dot dot dot. Haha
Right, had english after communications class. Heard that johan had only an hour of sleep the day before. My, he's admirable! The fact that he could go to school so early (he was the first group who had to present in COM 101), WOW! I would have just continued sleeping at home and "heck care" the world. Haha oops. Okay, i FINALLY PRESENTED ON MY RESEARCH PAPER TOPIC! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*panicks shivers panicks*
My stupid mindmap was so tiny, the font size i mean. I couldn't read anything, and i was shaking inside. I am SO not good at these public presentations stuff. Sigh...
Well the one good thing about today was that eileen and i managed to print out all our english info stuff, regarding the research paper. AHHHH feel so complete now. =) BUT no cause for celebration. WHY? I've only got the information! I have yet to do my draft of the paper! ANDDDDD There are THREE computer science assignments to hand up next week! Dying dying... Not to mention the psychology test coming up this thursday! PLUS the psychology PRESENTATION... SIGH... another presentation =( Do we have to wear ties?
Talking about psychology, gosh, my notes are everywhere! Literally! I just realised how many people have been photocopying my notes. Uhh i hope these people score. Haha if they don't, i'm so going to have a "hate club". Haha first it was jonathan, then johan, audrey, jadyn............. hmmmm...
What's the worst that could happen? They score, and i don't. Then i think i would kill myself. It's sec 2 all over again. Haha my lending of my literature textbook to timothy caused him to achieve the first position in literature, and i got a what.... 58/100 or something like that?? Haha rubbish. Oh well. I do hope i cna get a good B for psychology. Pretty disappointing, tis semester. I'm getting all Bs and Cs. Scary eh...
BUT i've got the greatest friends in SIM too! Cherie is so generous and didn't mind lending us her prison break vcds to burn. Sweet eh? She's no longer called "selfish", haha she's "selfless!" The problem is, we don't have burners. -.- Therefore, jane, my lady in shining black, came in! The poor girl's burning everything for us! Thanks you both! You're my princes who saved me from the wicked shamila! (is that her name? sha-mi-la)
Love you guys!
