malaysia learning journey

well, so we're back. and im sure many of you would be expecting this post. note, daniel should be uploading the pictures sooner or later, so look out for that. and another note, this is only from my perspective, so many of the incidents that are mentioned from this point forth might not coincide with those that you experianced. so dont bother whining. okay?

well first we had to assemble at the junior block at like 4pm, but in truth everything only got started at probably like 4:30 plus, cos everyone was whacking ping pong balls around and watever not.

anw nothing much happened in ri itself except we got put into our groups and yadayada yay we got fkuo as our grp leader whoopee...

the trip really started on the train, as in REALLY started. and it started with me spilling 7up all over myself-.- like wth lah im sure my bag shook so much on the way to the carriage lor ))):

uhhh den we just slept? and i was like damn cold cos we were right under the aircon. oh yah. i got owned at daidee too ))):

so we reached our station at 3am in the morning. while you all were still sleeping.

(right i know im sounding damn bimbo and watnot lah wait for chee to post something den you can really laugh about it)

well the journey wasnt that eventful, and we took a coach to the plantation resort where we were going to stay for the night.

on a separate issue, there is a matter of perspective whenever english is concerned, as in, the way we look at things does determine our expectations of them. by 'resort' we expected something 5-star, something classy, something...elegant and definitely better than this humble abode from which i am recounting the experiances of the past few days with you.

BUT as i said, perspectives do come into play here. well, 'resort' to whoever was in charge of the place definitely meant more...or less in this case, a rundown shabby poorly finished heater-less wooden hut next to the woods :D oh happy day.

and it got even happier when i found out that dillon, matt chua and my 'chalet' as it was called, was the last one in the row. whoopee, the one next to the dark forest yay. it didnt help very much that i was talking about pontianaks and doing my blood-suckig impressions while we were waiting for teh coach at the train station-.-

well we did manage to make it there without witnessing any supernatural events. however it was a more...subtle and minute organism that caused us further distress by the time we reached the chalet. no, not a pontianak or a malaysian tiger, but a dragonfly.

yes, a dragonfly, that was buzzing around the door of our 'chalet'.

at first thought we considered, and implemented, the idea of barging in and slamming the door before we could allow the dragonfly in. and it worked. until we saw the lizard on the wall.

we freaked, totally.

and forgot about the key in the door.

which we had so conveniantly forgot to bring in.

so we opened the door, and one of the simple equations of maths is that

opened door + dragonfly = dragonfly flying into the 'chalet'.

so yea, we got stuck with a dragonfly AND a lizard in our chalet. prolapro.

and we almost had to live (or sleep) with it buzzing around our heads until matt chua decided that we should turn off the lights above our heads and turn on the ones in the uh...other part of the chalet. yay...in short, it worked.

so, we slept from about 4-630am, when we had to wake up and then go for breakfast. it was fine i guess.

then we had to go for the day's activities - caing and walking through the plantations. caving was uhh...well honestly i couldnt remember much about what happened, just that my shoes got damn muddy den i was laughing at thomas heng cos he was wearing new shoes. then minutes later he came and suanned me back with his pair of old shoes-.-

loll and the plantation was uh...boring to say the least. michael bin told zheng to find a place to sit against the wall and go to sleep during the talk XD. and yay we finished like 1 hr plus ahead of schedule haha!

and what better thing is there to past time than soccer???

and what worse timing to know that there are people playing soccer than while you are showering?

yes that's exactly what happened - i was showering and tom came to tell me that there were people going to play soccer. pro. so i finished up and went haha. the field wasnt bad lah...quite well maintained. and it was like the first time i saw lines drawn in black XD. and i kept getting owned by long shots-.-

den...DINNER! and i was sitting at lee he's table, and we saw french fries for dinner! den whle we were queuing the guy asked for volunteers to serve. and lee he and me (or i watever) GRACIOUSLY volunteered - to serve teh fries and veggies XD.

so this was the plan - spam the plates of the guys from teh same table as us with fries, and dao those people not from our tables. lee he would instead spam their plates with veggies. pro right!

haha...worked well enough XD.

then we went back to lee he's room to play cards. but i ended up watching south park on nic's ipod vid with merrilllinabeh and brian neh. sadistic toons haha!

den came the sh*tass night activities. WTF man they led us INTO the dark forest, and made us go all teh way back with CANDLES!!!

im like WTFWTFWTF@)(#*@)#(@__(IADHAL:BP@(*#&UP)IBAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay i got nothing else to say.

oh. then came the going back alone part. cos i was involved in cap, i was exempted from night reflections, which meant going back to my chalet ALONE.

if you had paid attention to what was written above, my chalet totally freaked me out (and you would have reallised that i forgot to put the apostrophes around the chalet word)(and i just did again). so i did wat was only logical - i went to kevin mark's room! XD. yay but he went back with me to take the stuff haha! den i went to his room to bathe-.-

obviously i wont dare to shower alone right! and i would have had to walk back myself alone later anyway! as bad as walking THERE myself isnt it!

haha and later i asked tom to walk back with me to return my stuff! haha!

but after cip rehearsal i ran all the way back myself lol. the night proceeded okayly after that. until 530 when i woke up to eerie music and was unable to sleep until it ended at like 6am.

so we woke up and yadayada check out blahblahblah.

i think i shall post the rest of the learning journey later.
