Friday night Went to school at 8pm to prepare for the trip. Can foods, gas lamps, tentages, rice, spaghetti and gas stoves were given out as our rations..there are biscuits, cereals and milk too. Pack everything into the bag then write the white card. After that went to sleep, couldn't get to sleep because I wasn't tired but tried anyway.zzz
Saturday Woke up at around 6.15am. Pack our stuff and went for breakfast which is bread and milo at the den. Then went back to class to change shoes and mount our bags. Madness, we almost all the sec3s back were 14kg and above including mine, because I didn't want the sec1s to carry too much. And off we go in a lousy bus when I touched the air-con my hand went black. Then there was a jam at the custom but luckily the bus driver smart, cut queue like free then we managed to leave the custom earlier. At the Malaysia custom we change bus, that bus was better but cannot say good also. Went to some tangkak(a place) to have our lunch at a mini restaurant, we had rice with sweet and sour chicken and veg, not bad la. Then celebrated both my juniors birthday when my SL buy a cheap cake from the opposite road. Had a piece of cake but the chocolate melted so fast that it dripped on me and stained my clothes then when I come home, my mum say cannot wash. Didn't have time to wash so we set off to Ophir. When we reach the foot of Ophir, we mount our bags and began to walk up to the ranger station, that wasn't even the start of climbing yet with our crazy load. After settling some things we set off. Had numerous stops up to the checkpoint because most of them were tired but I wasn't because I just want to quickly reach base camp which is at the half of the mountain. But no choice many of them were unable to take the load so had to stop. Took a group shot at checkpoint 3 which has a nice cliff. Finally reach base camp, we find a good spot and settled down there and begin to pitch our tentages. After that we went to bath at the pool which is along the waterfall there, very fun, the water was very cooling and refreshing but of course we didn't bath naked, we bath with our shorts on. Then the problem comes, my junior lost his spectacles lens then all of us had to help him find but of course didn't manage to find it. Then come the magic show. Wrap a towel around us and tried to change our shorts and underwears, all the inexperience like me was not able to it..lolz..so had to go back to tent and change..lolz..then scared the towel drop. After the mass bathing session we had dinner which we have to cook rice and have 3can foods. My patrol invented an innovative rice..lolz..3parts, top part was uncooked, 2nd layer just nice, bottom was chao tar..lolz..but had to eat it anyway but I ate more can food. The can foods were chicken curry, baked beans and 1more forget liao..lolz..after that was free and easy till 12am. A few of the PLs had 'talk cock' session whereas the rest went to sleep. After that joined the ALs for talk cock session also..lolz..then 12am strike and off we go to the our tents and sleep.zzz
Sunday Woke up at around 6.30am and went down to the waterfall there to brush our teeth. Then had our breakfast which is 2packets of biscuits, 1cereal and a packet of milk. Then we start to ascend to the summit. We were quite slow and reached only the summit at around 1.30pm. took about 5hrs. The summit was very nice. You can see the clouds below you, the feeling above the clouds, COOL. By the way, the mountain is called Mt. Ophir(Gunung Ledang) and is about 4317ft high, we ate some rations that we brought up and take a few group shots then left. Our descend was pretty fast and during a part of the descend I can see the clouds moving towards me then can see the vapour. Then descend till one part the guide lost his way but luckily we took the correct route after that. There was a very scary portion whereby you have to climb down a rope down a steep cliff whereby if you let go of your hand then bye bye. I was among the last to go down because I was at the back to make sure no one lag behind. And the bad thing is the back people gets the least rest. Then it rain a bit and we walked faster and luckily we reached base camp before nightfall. Same thing bathed at the pool and cooked dinner. The dinner was spaghetti and the rest of can foods except for sardines which was meant for the next day's breakfast but apparently, we didn't eat the next day. After dinner came the worst case scenario, we had to clear the rubbish, the trash bag was like got rice, and whatever then we had to use our hands to dig our all the non-biodegradable stuff with our bare hands and tape it up then separate into other bags. It was very sick but our SL came to help us, that was very kind of him. Then a few of us dig a hole to pour the biodegradable stuff into it and let it decompose. We went down to the pool to wash our hands. There was a slacker whom I don't want to mention it here who was there slacking and watching us do everything. And then order my junior to do everything, bully him to the max. I was on the blacklist in the later PLC, almost all the bad things got my name, don't know why also, as if I had done something very wrong. What to do, then my GSL spilled a cup of coffee and I was so sway sit infront of him and got most of it splashed on me but because it was very dark already so I didn't get the chance to go down and wash so had to sleep with the coffee on me.zzz
Monday Woke up at 6am. Cook milo and eat bread. Then by the time we had finish eating, there was little time left to pack my stuff but managed to pack it anyway. After packing we unpitched our tents and do area cleaning. After the area cleaning we start to descend to the foot of mountain. Very fast but again the back people didn't get to rest much, when we just caught up they went again. But was happy that we had reached the foot so fast. Had our bath at a toilet there, after bathing I wanted to buy a cloth at the shop there as souveniour, but didn't buy, now come to think of it kinda regretted not buying. Then my junior got a meter which counts the number of steps you take, is about 32531steps, not bad hur. Went to Malacca to have our lunch at a shopping centre call Tesco inside a restaurant call nando's, beside it was some chicken shop call shakey chicken. Also selling almost the same food as nando's. We waited for very long for the food to come and when it finally come, it was very nice, black pepper roasted chicken with fries and salad and a bowl of rice for 4to share. Then went on a tour, there was supposedly a tour guide but later ended up is our SL, don't know why also. Went to some museum, quite nice, took a couple of group shots there and went to the shopping centre there. The whole shopping centre was quite big but all the things were very expensive except for macdonald's ice-cream..lolz..bought some 'lao po' biscuits which I came home and try, it totally yucks, somemore so ex..bought a pair of metal chopsticks also. Then we head back to JB to have our dinner, took about 3hrs I think, the distance is 204km, the dinner was supposedly to be an 8course meal but turn out to be only 5, probably because most of us wasn't hungry. But was quite good though, ketchup crab, cornflakes prawn, fu yong egg, lemon chicken and a tofu, at first regretted coming but the dinner and lunch made me feel worth it. Headed straight to Singapore, reached school at about 11.25pm, had to hurry keep all the things then my junior had many birthday present, including, peanut butter, sardines and salmon..lolz..the sec3s were released at about 11.40pm..fast right? Efficient, but I didn't get to catch the last bus, so I took 55, last bus and wanted to wait for 13, but after awhile feel that I shouldn't so I walked down 1bus stop where I took the last bus down another busstop home..lolz..reached home nice nice 12.15am.went to had a good bath and unpacked my stuff and watch tv till about 2am until channel U closes with the Singapore anthem..lolz..zzz
Tuesday Slept till around 12.15pm..then eat lunch and bath and set off to school to clean the tents all that at 2pm. Clean till about 5pm, then finish. We waited for Xianyi because he was held back and we went to eat at mac. There, sean left early but his drink was only half, he didn't drink finish. So we help him..lolz..then we again 'talk cock' till about 7.30pm..lolz..talk a lot of lame stuff..then went home to eat dinner again..lolz..after eating dinner I sat down to read the previous newspaper to catch up on news..lolz..then eat durians which my father bought..very nice and sweet..lolz..then watched justice bao to around 11.30pm..lights off..zzz
