anyway, the class trip has been the best trip i have attended so far! despite the fact that we only spent a night there, but all was very well worth it as friends get together to celebrate the brief freedom after our exams. well i dont know about my classmates, but i definitely had fun!
we gathered at college at 7.20am in the morning. after the head count, we hopped onto the bus we rented and took off at 8am. i very much wanted to sleep on the bus, since i only slept for about 3hrs the previous night, but the bunch were so lively and several rounds of chor tai ti kept me awake throughout the journey.
the journey lasted about 2hrs, and around 10am we reached our designated spot. a small place called Sungkai, which is located somewhere in the state of Perak. we proceeded on further till we reach the hot springs park.
we were at the ticketing booth, putting on our wrist straps as evidence that we have paid the entrance fee. i was so excited that i almost forgot my role as the photographer xD i didnt take out my camera until most of us had our wrist strap on.
then it was a 5-minute-walk to our camp site. oh yea, did i mention that we were camping out? there were villas of course, but it was all fully booked when we made reservations few weeks ago. bsides, the villas arent exactly cheap lol.
we walk, and we walk, and we walk.
the flora and fauna around was awesome. being city folks, we hardly can enjoy such wonderful air. it was that cool breeze of wind with a little refreshing taste that has really lightened up our moods for the day.
soon, we reached the cafeteria. it was mutual that we all decided to chill out at this peaceful structure located right beside a pond. our camp site were just beside the cafeteria, so it was quite convenient in terms of food. couldnt complain much about the food, it was a rip off but what can u say, its a tourism spot =D
reception was a total no-no for maxis/hotlink users. we were totally cut off from the outside world. with only 'emergency calls only' appearing on the face of our cellphones, we really couldnt do much except for using it for music or gaming purposes lol. it was a different case for digi users though, they had full reception.
as much as i dislike digi, for situations like this, i wish i was a digi user LOL. but i guess being cut off from the outside world means total peace especially for those who seek for a quiet vacation without being disturbed by work.
our camp site. we rented a total of 8 tents, which was actually more than enough. edmund, hong khai, chun hoe and i shared the same tent, but chun hoe didnt made it to sleep anyway for the night, more stories on that later on xDDDD. the surroundings of our campsite were quite satisfying if i may say, the hot springs pool was a few steps away, the cafeteria was just beside, and a small resting hut was just located infront of the campsite.
the greenery surrounding the campsite.
after we had chosen our tent members, and settled down the baggages into our respective tents, we decided to take a dip in the main attraction of the place. im afraid i couldnt bring my camera along, so there werent many pictures in that aspect =/ i sincerely apologise. haha.
there was the hot spring, and also the mountain spring water, which was cold and is said to come from the hills. we went to both, the distance between the both was rather far i may say, ok maybe not thatttt far, but it requires you to walk abit between both locations.
soon, it was lunch at 2pm.
chill people, we did not eat cards for lunch. we had some brief malaysian food, such as nasi lemak, etc. we were chilling out with card games after lunch.
it was the effort and hard work of these two individuals that made it all happen for us. a big big thank you to both ming ting and jonathan. for looking out for our welfare throughout the trip and also making sure that we had enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
and we went back to dipping ourselves in the hot springs. the few of us however, went over to those mini hot springs for a little 'guy talk' hahaha.
we had bbq for dinner! at around 5pm, we gathered to help set up the bbq pit. with a few of us spreading butter onto chickens and sausages, while some helped out with starting the fire, and some helped to eat. LOL xD
it began to drizzle shortly, and we were forced to moved the bbq pit to the hut, which was sheltered.
they sure tasted good! we showed our appreciation to wai yin and her mom for marinating the chicken by finishing every single piece of them xDDD. oh well, i know its not healthy, since its carbon haha, but once in awhile wouldnt hurt much tho. w00t!
dusk was soon over, and then it was nightfall.
the peaceful sounds of insects were rather calming to the soul, as we took our own sweet time getting back to those mini hot springs for more leisure time.
and of course not to forget that we had a brief performance by james and seh yung!
it wasnt perfect, but it was definitely entertaining alright, we truly enjoyed it. =DDD if you have watched the video, u would have noticed the sudden cut in sequence. my memory space ran out during that moment, and i quickly make space by deleting previous video to get back into filming the performance.
unity. =D i can really feel the togetherness as a group now compared to grp3 in the previous semester. its not that it wasnt fun back then, but now its the togetherness really, the feeling that u have one another to rely on.
we didnt plan to sleep the whole night, so for starters we gathered in the cafeteria, sharing jokes and all sorts of stories together. it was a time where finally we get to be together and not doing anything. it was always us being together, with books and studying to do. xD now its just us with each other.
chun hoe on the other hand, didnt join our mini gathering. he was *ahem* busy elsewhere with a newfound friend, which eventually led to him not sleeping the whole night. as for us, i couldnt take it any longer after 3am, and headed back to my tent for a good night sleep.
we bid farewell to this man made sanctuary at 4pm the next day.
my ixus battery died, so i will post more pictures when i receive it from the others. =) till then, its the end of the post.
