This is my OBS story Part 2

I find that behind in so many things although I left the civilisation world for only a week. I got so lost in news, drama TV, and I got so many comments to attend to! arghhh. Tapi, I'm not stressing out cos of that. It feels good to just lay back without having TV shows to distract u or internet for that matter. Minus the news, I'm very pleased to say that I can live without other necessities. As cellphone concerns, I can live with that. I dont have cellphone back in Canada, so I pretty much can live without it!

Oh, I got myself a pair of flats! woooot! and rantai2...haha


This is part 2 of my OBS story~

For my second expedition, I went on a jungle trekking expedition. I have 2 friends that already gave their story and personal view on that expedition, but u still have to read mind cos my story is not as near as theirs. lolz. sama just in some ways :P

Day 4
After returning from the kayaking expedition, I was damn exhausted. We had to wash the kayaks and also our tents. That is a lot of washing to do! In addition to that, we also have our clothes to wash. Despite that, I still have the afternoon to rest. At lunch, I was so busy gossiping with Izyan, that I left my watchmates to fold all the tents. Sorry a bunch guys! I told Zinn and Kak Zai, I would return the favour. Yea I did some extra work to cover up for that.

Petang tu, we had mini-trekking. I was appointed the navigator. Finally I feel like my "knowledge" is going to good use. hah! Tak sia2 blaja map. Padahal, Peter was helping me all along, even on how to use a compass, syal malu gils! At that moment, I felt like I was just bragging on how much I know things, but when I was given a real problem to solve, I choked! Ciss, lucky that I have Peter :D

S0, the mini trekking went ok. I was able to lead them to the right destination, and Shasha solved the puzzle.


Day 5
Jungle-trekking day. I woke up very early that day, and I don't know why. At 5.30am, I already woke up and started to get ready. That morning, I got chills, I felt butterflies in my tummy! Never in my life I felt so nervous to go jungle trekking. But this time it's a different because I felt such a burden on my shoulder to lead my watch to the right path. Damn I was scared that morning. I tried to take my mind off from the thoughts of getting lost and succumbing to the time pressure and maybe fatigue as well can drive me cuckoo (just as kayaking did). I packed my bag over and over again, I did stretching over and over again, apply sunblock and yes, check my map with my fellow dorm mates, who had been to the expedition before - this is all to kill the time. Sangat2 lah gabra that morning. I was glad to get few tips from Kak Hana, but that do not keep me at peace pon. lolz.

Well, I know my watchmates would not blame me if I got them lost, but deep in my heart I still feel the blame and I have to take the blame - that is what I thought laaa IF we ever got lost. My watchmates are all trying to calm me. I even scare them with my "possible mood swings". Bodo gels.

So kami gerak in formation again. This time the formation is smaller, it involves only my watch. Compare to the kayak formation, this is way better in terms of managing people and keeping everybody motivated :P so the formation was Fifi and Benson (Parangmen), Me (Navigator), Peter (cos saye gedik nak Peter's help in case I got confused), etc etc...and Harun is the sweeper, again. The formation changed from time to time to accommodate those who are tired and when I have to help the girls when the needed a pull and descending the slope.

My first kegelabahan came at the first check point. Saye adelah teramat kelam kabut cos there were 2 paths. I can't sort that out! En Fauzi had to help me. When he told me what to do, I said to myself damn, I know that....this all means, I have to try to relax cos all that tension made my mind way off.

After that, I'm happy to say it was a great expedition. And hutan lipur ni ade banyak Tongkat Ali. lolz, the boys are all trying to identify tongkat ali. Peter even amik daun die and kunyah, lawak2... I dunno if that gives him the extra booze or not. The first peak was the highest, and I find the climb to the first peak was the toughest. At the top, we met another watch, Irau (Budi nye group). Trust me, it is not a pleasant experience to be trailing at another's watch's butt. Kite jadi slow, and I told Fifi we should move fast at some points (mcm kawasan landai or downslope), but since we are stucked behind them, we have to follow their pace. Darn! Tapi at puncak 3, Irau decided to stop for lunch. That was a good news! We decided to continue and probably catch our lunch at peak 4. Tapi at peak 4, rase nak teruskan jalan je cos if u had ur lunch, u consume time and u will feel so full to even walk, apetah lagi nak panjat or turun bukit. The descending from peak 4 was quite dangerous! I think we are going down an almost 90 degree slope (hehe, exaggerate). Seriously, u have to be extra cautious.

Sampai campsite, Tahan dah sampai. Ciss! But we arrived the same time as SIA. For that, I can be proud. So we had our much awaited lunch and damn it was the best lunch ever, walaupon tak dpt habeskan cos tamak amik nasi banyak. hehe. This campsite was definitely better than Shawal Beach in so many ways. It's more spacious and can fit 5 watches, unlike Shawal that can hardly fit 3 watches. We had a lot of water resources walaupon hanyalah bekas lombong...but it's better than a well aite?

Since we arrived at 1.40pm, we had the whole afternoon to rest. Boring ade laa, it's not like u can sleep petang2 dalam tent right? At 5pm, kami2 geng2 perempuan start masak. As usual, I just help to prepare the ingredients, I don't cook :P Since we had extra eggs, everybody got an egg and we have extra eggs that we made omelette. The cooking time was the best part lahh cos semua orang in my group just chill out and tengok the girls masak. Tah, rase mcm everybody tgh enjoy sangat compare masa dekat Shawal beach. It was tensed back then! Harun pon sibuk2 dgn lawak die, serious Harun, saye tak tahaaann gelak! Sape2 yang ade kat situ mesti nak gelak jugak. Paling tak tahan Peter asked for some tips on how to get a girl from Harun :P

The dinner was just ok...too bad we didnt bring a lot of food. I was already starving at 7. That night we just lazed around and start to think of our performance for the BBQ night. Tahu tak dah dekat 3 tahun tak buat perkara2 performance ni, boleh tahan dah karat dong...mula nak buat BUBU.fm, pastu BUBU talk show, tapi last2 we decided to do BUBU wayang kulit. It was a brilliant idea by Fifi. Not only it is unique, u can rest assured other watches wouldn't be doing it too. The title for our play was Che Mat's diary with Harun as Che Mat's voice over. Maka Harun kene kecek English Kelate lahh. Adoiii lagi tak tahaaaann! Harun kater die blaja tu dari Jeme. haha, figure that one already! Dah laa ade orang yg tak kenal Che Mat ingat ni watak reka2 je. Sorry lahh Che Mat, I believe after that performance, kamu mesti one heck of a big star. WOW!

Dah dah... dah malas nak tulis cos dah takde paper pon cerite apart from BBQ Night which saye akan letak pics je and kepulangan ke KLCC. Tetibe rase sedey laa juge cos tah bile lagi akan jumpe mereka2 ni :(


Dah hitam dah kami.
