Had a quite long sleep last night, considering I've just got back from my Recreational and Activity class' camping Dissolved Hill fer two days yesterday. Thank you to my Danial for waking me up or I'm sure I'll sleep until, what, twelve noon?
And my class today starts at twelve :3 My girlfriends got all excited and kinda celebrated in our own Whatsapp group. Haha.
The camping session was filled with pure awesomeness. And exhaustion. I got to meet new people, to know my friends more, spending load of time together. And hey, I've learnt 4 types of knots wey! Cool.
We arrived at the base of Dissolved Hill on Saturday's evening set up the tents, went to the knot class by our R&A lecturer, had to redo the knots in front of him with my group in a private session, went to the Taiping's Zoo for the night safari.
Right after the trip around the zoo, I warned Dani to NOT to take me to the zoo with him or I'll end up shrieking and cooing and awww-ing at every other animal I see. Gosh, I even sang Elton John's Can You Feel The Love Tonight when I saw two lions which were, like, meleser, at each other. I seriously pitied my groupmates who had to see my five-year-old child side that night.
And the next day, I started with the sentry at three with Group 8 and my group. Mind you, group 8 consists of 2 girls and 3 boys of #ChemeClan and Shahira. You can imagine how crazy it was, having to regroup with my own awesome friends. So what we did during our one hour shift?
Playing cards. Until five. One hour after my shift ended. The four-to-five shift watched us play and laughed at our antics.
And the next morning, after only an hour sleep *sigh* , we continued our camp by hiking the Dissolved Hill, which trail started right in front of our campsite. Although there was a tarmac road leading up the hill, but where's the adventure la kan if we use that road?
Pfft.
So jungle trekking we did. I suck at estimating distance and all, but for sure it was an two-hour worth of root grabbing, stepping on slippery rocks, slipping on the nearly vertical slope and pushing myself to the limit. It's been a while since I did any vigorous physical activity, really. But doing it with my friends and fellow group 7 & 8 people, it was awesome.
So we arrived at the checkpoint after the jungle trekking and our lecturer gave us two choices, either we can just go back down to our campsite or to continue climbing the Dissolved Hill until this one point named Tea Garden. Apparently, them boys wanted to climb some more, so us girls had to follow them too. It's like a group thing, where we have to stick together ind of stuff. A decision that ruined my butt AND shortened my thinking capacity for a bit, actually. Due to the exhaustion, obviously. So we hiked another 3+ kilos, with the one we called Renjer Luthfi showing us shortcuts and all to our next destination. He even brought us past the Tea Garden and we went to this small waterfall.
I didn't have many pictures with me and I'm still in the process of collecting them all from the the awesome people (aku puji ni, baik bagi the gambar cepat!) and maybe I'll post them separately but here's one picture of us at the first checkpoint.
Never knew all six of us are actually a bunch of camwhores smh.
After that, we went down straight to the base, which was another 5++ kilos of walking down the hill and unmerciful slopes, ate our lunch and get ready for home.
Eh silap. Not home, for UTP. Sobs.
Speaking of home, I'm going back on Tuesday night! Woohoo, got to see Alis before he register himself at GMI for this A-Levels or whatever it is. Imma force him to sembang with me the whole week. It's like a cue for my annoying--overly-attached-older-sis saide. And we even get to go to the Malaysia International Dive Expo! :3 Imma request a shorties from Ayah. HAHAHAHA.
Also, for my dearest Danial, happy ten months! Looking back, that's one long way we went through, and even longer way to go. Thanks for the wonderFULL (geddit, geddit? FULL. HAHA okay lame) dinner last night. Thanks for the journey. Thanks for everything. FEKs and I love you! :)
Aaaand now I have to go and study for my Health, Safety and Environment test tonight. Happy NIOSH, EQA and DOSH dear HSE students :3 Until then, bye!
