YAY.. tat was like great news. i shared a room wit rani gao yuan and shen shen. but joanna came 2 slp wit us anywae. dinner was bad.. haha.. tatz wad we tot. we ate at e floating restaurant, full of flies and houseflies. wah.. dey like drop almost everu min.. sheeSh.. manY ppl e foOd or drinK eat HAlfwAe e flY drop insiDe =x but suRprisingly, tat rEStaurANT goT an a kz.. tatz like our mac standard?! can you believe? den aft tat e next dae..
^25th mAy^ tat dae was realli a can die dae. we had cycling. it was damm difficult. in e handbk tat all of us got, e onli had 2 cycle for 35 km. tat alreadi sounded pretty difficult. den b4 we start e cher sae itz about 42 km tat we cycle. wah.. on e way realli cycle cycle cycle like i nva cycle in my whole life liddat. leg damm tired also cannot stop.. muz cont if not cannot finish... got 2 break. 1st one so short. 2nd one abit longer cuz we eat lunch. aft lunch tat journey i suddenly leg cramp manz.. pain like hell.. i felt like im on top of e world wen i finally reach e camp site. i realised smth. my course of camp is very suky at e process. but e end result would alwaes lead to utmost satisfaction and happiness... =)aft bathing we left e dorm for the sg. yong river bank i think. not sure of itz name. den we build tent. mine first time => kinda interesting.. but i was dead beat so wasnt realli enthu. aft tat we still hafta build tent for bus 4 and 5, cuz dey arrvived late. i saw him, and suddenly i felt all e feeling gushing back. itz like so wonderful to see him again. u know e feeling wen u see a beautilful scenery? e feeling of seeing an angel in front of u? e feeling of warmth and happiness.. this camp site was almost perfect. there was a river juz like 15 steps awae and e water is very light brown in colour but yet itz crystal clear and extremely cooling. but wit his presence.. it seemed like heaven. => tat night my grp ( bus 6 and 7) had a campfire and we played a jap game called samurai. itz kinda fun and i believe i would enjoy it if i wasnt so tired. slept like a log tat night.
^26th mAy^ went on jungle trekking. was damm tiring. trekked for 12.5 km. it may seem quite short a dist ( cuz big walk was 10 km) but we took like 6 hrs i think. e route was terrible. coffee and chocolate ice cream greated oour sight. many a tiems my whole shoe juz plopped into e mud and it came out like a giant choco shoe. =X maybe i shld throw my shoe aWae.. dinner was field cooking,, and e food which was cooked totalli sukz and i couldnt even bear 2 eat em. thank god later at night we cooked instant noodles. bout 8 pkt in a frying pan and we juz squat there wit plastic spoons and forks and juz started eating. we muz haf looked pathetic, and i wouldnt even do tat in e past. but i enjoyed my meal. i gobbled e noodles like ive nva eaten such noodles b4. =p aft tat i went 2 play dai dee.. and e boatman and all our guides were sitting tgt playing music. it was simple tools tat they used. it was simple songs tat they sang. but e music had a magical effect. it brought smiles to their faces. it was so filled wit passion and enjoyment. i realli am amazed at how they lead their simple lifestyle, but yet they are truly happy ppl. aft tat i was so tired tat i stop playing cards at 12 plus and went 2 sleep. my tent was like smellinbg of rotten fish, so i sprayed my deodorant but it doesnt work. waste my deodorant onli >.< i sat outside e tent till like 3 am. all e while i tot bout wad happened this yr.. i came to e camp wit questions, and i found my ans. i realise how stupid i was. i wondered if i shld gif up. cuz he wun like mi in return. but i realised tat whether i like hikm or not, sldn't be affected at all by whether he likes mi back. liking him doesnt mean tat he shld like mi back. so i dun see why i shldnt like him. =) aft straightening out my thots, i feel much much betta =>
^27th may^ finally e last dae of camp. i tot i would feel elated 2 go back 2 sg tat night. but i realised i haf grown very fond of e camp site. i haf also began to get used to their lifestyle. they haf a very peaceful and simple life, which they lead happily. so unlike singapore, wher all of us are so obsessed wit technology and stuff and e stress from our lives. we spent e last dae doing leisure stuff, e canopy walk. it was kinda cool and interesting, and it realli amAzes mi how dey built e bridges there. 0.o itz so damm high and itz pretty stable. =) aft lunch was toally shiet. i mean it, literally shit =p it was e ear cave, full of bats and shiet everywher, but it was kinda nice u know, e different parts of it, i would haf loved it - minus e bats and their droppings =x
^now^ <> left e train station at 2 last night in e morning ( does this make sense?) and onli cleared all customs around 12. wen i reached woodlnd i kissed e floor. it felt great to be home. i realli missed this place. singapore~! clean toilets. no flies. i felt reallli happy. but as i got on e train alone, i looked around mi, as it was lunch time, many of em were working ppl and it was ther lunch break i guess.most were complaining or discussing their work. everybody wasso busy and engrossed in their work or school ( students). i found something present in sg, something which was not shown in e malaysian locals. stress. pressure. anxiety. e ppl all looked like overworked robots. some ladies looked fake to be all of a sudden. they had on posh shoes and clothes. thick make up to look pretty. but they loook so upset ans stressed. i miss seeing those villagers, dressed in brandless and old clothes/ plain clothes. yet they had e sincere smile on their face. one which is so genuine and joyful. i realised i do miss the simple life i haf e past few days. i miss the ppl and their attitude towards life. i miss their laughter and smiles. i miss them. i miss the river. i miss the sand. i miss the rocks we had our meals at. i miss e floating restaurant. i miss pahang. i miss the forest. i miss e calls of e animals. i miss the frsh air. all these are definitely gonna be part of my memories, another brightly coloured pagee of my life. pahang. teman negara. temasek sec 3 resilence camp'04. demostenes. nicias. our guides. lbk restaurant. our boatman. may these live in my merories foreva! =)
tml will be taking back my results. wonder how i fared this time. hopefully i would be able to get some satisfying results. good luck to all taking back result slips~
