hugo just left for his holidays. lol. the boarding house person came to fetch him to his home for the next two weeks already. zzz. sian. i miss hugo already. lol. but he has been there twice before so im sure he will do fine. lol.

anyway, back from the expedition. it was a good one overall. new experience. 72km leh. hehheh.

ok so first day took jolene's father's car to school and had wafer for dinner then met up in school in which a certain sense of punctuality was not kept and we left later then scheduled. the bus at the malaysian customs was also late and all of us were rather worried tht we can't finish our 40km for the first day.

so we reached paka river camp the next morning super late. had breakfast in which people just dilly dally here and there. i mean its like we are already late shouldnt we make up for lost time? then we board the bus and set of for our starting point. the bus driver got lost and we were even later. we launched off at 10.30 i think. we were supposed to launch off at ard 8 to 9. so we kayak kayak kayak. i partnered wangye at first then switched to leeyan at dunno which checkpoint. and yes WE COMPLETED OUT 40KM IN 8HRS 10MINS. good thing we completed it. haha.

nothing much exciting actually. branches here and there. thorns bugs. but there was this point of time in which there was this fallen log and a lot of people capsized and arthur was lost. me and wangye capsized too. i think i super zai. let me brag please. haha. i told wangye to grab sth cos she was drifting away too then i swam against the current which was super duper tiring to get back my kayak, overturned it with help and went to save wangye. zai right? haha.

so we finished the first day's 40km and went back to prc. had dinner washed up. the toilets were surprisingly clean and i was glad. i totally hate dirty disgusting toilets. and then we had to make our beds. i still don't understand why we can't sleep on the floor. i wonder if anybody took pictures of the bed. hopefully have. next time have i post.

then next morning breakfast then set of for our remaining 32km. much lesser obstacles but we were against the current. kayaked with jolene at first then jerome after lunch. kayaking with jerome is damn cool. its pretty effortless. somehow la. haha. then gayed with jiajin and yuki at the back which was pretty much morale boosting. haha. there were crocodiles in our kayak. at first only had one. after tht the eggs hatched and there were 3 more. then one migrated to jiajin and yuki's kayak. and the crocodiles like to lean towards the left. damn irritating. then then then we reached! checkpoint 9 nia la. haven end yet. took loads of photos and then we had our race. me and jerome win leh. cool hor? HAHA. and WE COMPLETED OUR 32KM IN AROUND 8HRS.

MEANING WE COMPLETED 72KM IN LIKE 16HOURS!!! WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!

ok so after we finished we had to change to dry clothes to board the bus and we erm changed in the open. it was supposed to be behind walls but... still abit open. one side is grassland one side is open sea. so exciting. LOL.

then we went to pasar malam and ate and drank. didnt have time for durians ): oh i ate chicken backside. lol. so brave. HAHA. then we board the bus again and headed back to prc and had night walk. tht was damn irritating. there was this family with 2 small little kids who followed us and slowed the whole walk down and we finished the damn walk at around 11 plus. it was supposed to finish at around 9.30. and i had a leechbite! eeee. but it was really painless la. then had dinner. i was so damn pissed off. that night slept at almost 1 plus.

ok so third day we had a trek. mdm lim went with us and she completed it. really respect her for her determination. i mean its not simple for her. so we had a climb up. the upward journey was easier. just climb and walk climb and walk. then we reached the waterfall. played water inside for a while. quanyi made us do evaluation in the cold water. and then we headed down. wahpiang. i tell you. the journey down was the worst of the whole expedition. i walk until my legs went soft la. my sense of balance is like super duper lousy and i was just grabbing on to any plant i saw. not even tree. just plant. and i accidentally grabbed one with thorns. lol. and quanyi and jerome were trees to. one mobile one. one portable one. haha. damn cute. lol. then it started raining. i almost cried la. i was devastated. lol. good thing it stopped after a short while. haha.

then we reached!!! YAY!!! and we showered and then we went back to prc. had a bbq dinner in which the food was already bbqed for us. lol. played truth or dare which was super lame and in my opinion a waste of time then went to sleep at 1plus.

woke up then did area cleaning. i washed the kayaks and pfds and paddles with a few others. then we did our last evaluation and was supposed to go off at 9.30 to kuantan for shopping. but the god damn bus the aircon spoil. and repair damn long. we reached kuantan at 1.30 we were supposed to leave at 1.3o -.- had pizza hut for lunch then continued our journey. the tire of the bus burst. lousy bus right? then i think aircon spoil again. so they open some little hole on the ceiling of the bus for wind. had dinner. continued the journey. reached had ard 11. late by almost 2 hrs.

hoho reached home unpacked bathed talked slept (:

the trip was pretty enjoyable i guess. a lot of niaoing here and there. lack of some sense of urgency and punctuality here and there and everywhere. but i guess the sense of satisfaction of finishing the 72km and not falling down for the downward journey and upward also la can overcome those. so (:

oh right. and me and jolene discovered the ultimate camp food. its called marshmallows. you know those for bbq. yah. its like totally NO FIBRE. all sugar and carb which is like utmost importance for camps especially like this. haha.
