Two treks in 5 days. Exhilaration. Awesomeness. Bliss. Escape.
Went on a trek with Candice, CH, HJ and Joel last fri. Almost immediately after the exams (i ended on thurs...). It was really pretty interesting to be trekkin with a bunch of experienced people. Well at least most of us have about 3-4 treks under our belts already. As compared to my other trip just 2 days ago...this trip made us seem like we were superman/woman. The speed difference was SO immense (we even got to bath at the first waterfall before proceedin to Kota Tinggi town. Hohoho) But of course it is expected since most participants that we take on treks are 'virgins'. Heh.
You know the thing about trekkin is that its really cool to be sharin with ur fellow trekkers about ur own experiences and treks as well as introducing them into the world of trekkin. If i were u...i would at least trek once in my life. Just for the heck of it (but yet again maybe that is just my point of view). Even after 2 trips (one with and one without participants) AND to the same place for both trips (LUMBONG - Kota Tinggi waterfalls) i yearn for more. That is how addictive trekkin is. And it was only after these trips that i suddenly realize how much i really miss trekkin altho it wouldn't be advisable for my knee in the long run. >_<>
Anyway the trek 2 days ago (with participants) was loaded with a series of unfortunate events. Some had attributed it to the fact that it conicided with friday the 13th. I am not a supertitious freak myself but that could've held true if one were so. Heh. So what really happened? We had a few victims of bee stings...participants who got lost (thankfully they were found safe and sound *heave a HUGE sigh of relief*)...committee member who busted his knee...(fortunately no encounters with water snakes this time round) Well of course not only bad things happened cuz love was in the air. Okie that might not be entirely a good thing cuz watchin lovey-dovey couples just makes u illuminate and not to mention that it serves to be a (painful?) reminder of ur (sad?) status. Okie...that aside...the best news was...we managed to bring steamboat up the trek and thanx to HQ's trusty icebox...all the fresh food that we brought up escaped unscathed!!! They didn't go bad!!! Woot!!! And so...TOM YAM STEAMBOAT it was. A breakthrough for treks!!! A 1st time (according to pa's knowledge) that such an attempt was made!!! Imagine havin steamboat at the end of a trek at the campsite under the stars!!! Yes indeed. Watch this space for more pictures!!!
Alright enough of trekkin news. But seriously...i can never get sick of trekkin. Uh huh. It is an ADDICTION. Ask people who trek. They'll prolly tell u the same thing. Now its back to reality. What a bummer.
Ooh...there is something i have to add. The canoe polo team moves in packs. That is what i have concluded after Malaysia dinner, Eve's sendoff and more recently...our dear kim's op. It was quite a sight to see an entourage escorting kim to her op theatre. I think we shook the entire floor with our noise. Lets see...we had a grand total of 16 or was it 17 people walkin down the corridors of NUH. Haha. Ask me...i'd say we look like a gang and kim of course would be out triad leader. Haha. Okie. Nuff said. When will be the next gang outing?
The phreaks: Lookin forward to star wars!!! Luke...i am ur peanut. LOL.
Kim: I hope u aren't in too much pain!!! Take care and u'll be back in no time!!! *hugs*
Candice: Can't wait for the end of June!!! ^_^ and Tom Yam with the 'Wans'!!!
I am sooooooo excited bout KL for some strange reason. Yes people. I will be whisked off to KL this weekend with my parents along with my mom's company. *gulps* pretty darn generous for a company's family day ainnit? Lucky lucky. Durians...buffets...shopping...petronas tower...HERE I COME!!!
Tired but happy.
Escapism i need. Escapism i got. Escapism i yearn.
