i've been so caught up and lazy to blog.
also because i don't know what to blog again.
life's been fine...
one day at a time...
new lessons and stuff.
alright, maybe i shall talk about the mount ophir trip.
it wasn't successful.
however, a good lesson learnt.
we prepared well for the trip...
buying all the stuff and reading up on the place...
and on the day we set off,
we were all in high moods.
happy, excited and exhilerated.
the journey there was fun.
though many of us were tired.
waking up at 5am in the morning was no kid..
when you get to bed at like 12am or 1am.
alright, to cut the story short,
when we got there,
we received some AMAZING news.
the guard at the entrance of the resort asked us..
"You going camping?"
we replied "Ya"
"I've got a letter from taman negara, no camping."
"HUH?!"
"I show you the letter"
we scrambled into his little boxed office,
"There... No camping until further notice"
"what about day trip?"
"Day trip can"
"Phew, then not so bad la. we stay over in the cabins then tmr we climb"
"You go in and look for the ranger"
"OK.. thank you"
so we walked all the way in,
till the foot of the mountain,
where the ranger was...
"NO climbing or camping activities"
WTF?!
YES, we could not even make a day trip.
the most we could do?
take a photo at the foot of the water,
where the water from the waterfall streamed down.
what luck.
so we started thinking of where to go on our limited budget.
thought of going to KL, but doubt we'd have the moolah.
so we decided on malacca.
walked out to the main road, a 1km walk
(yes, we walked in for 1km)
and then waited for the bus by the road side.
took us to tangkak, saying we'll get a bus from there to malacca.
but guess what? YES, to our dismay.
no bus there....
only buses to KL and JB.
uggh. frustrated, we took a bus back to JB...
had a good dinner..
and then returned back to singapore at night..
after some walking at city square.
how fun eh?
hahahas. but you learn a lot.
remember to call to check if you can climb.
saves you money, time and the trouble.
im in school right now btw...
just went to poly marina to do the MPA inspection of the lasers.
had to paste the boat no. sticker.
and! i left my food there! :(
my ai xin zao can from my mom.
now i need to spend money on food.
thought i could save some bucks.
i'm gonna stop here.
byeeeeee.
