Mt Ophir/Gunung Ledang/Kim Sua

Haha I guess this is kinda late. BUUUUTT seeing as Saturday was total a stone day to "recover", and Sunday was more or less "busy" with homework, I guess it's forgivable :D

As always, I KINDA started packing late. Then again, the packing list was so inaccurate, it didn't really matter I guess. Apparently my parents sorta remembered the stupid deal about not getting any Cs at all, and as a result, "negotiations"... were required. Now I have to fulfill 7 conditions. Of which adding my parents on FB is Number 1. FML. In case they DO read this post, I'm not going to say any more. The walls have ears...

Reached HQ before 8pm, and there was only 1 other guy there. So we kinda stoned with the PDS AIs who were staying overnight, till about lights out time. Sleeping in the learning terrace, which was FRIGGING cold. In the end we laugh laugh joke joke until cannot sleep. Sleep already also couldn't sleep properly cos of the cold. Landed up 3.30 we go outside to the canteen and sleep there till we had to wake up. (Y) Bus ride there, was BORING. Didn't help that we just kept to ourselves. REALLY wished I had brought along my phone. Luckily for my sanity, Ze Bin brought along an MP3 player, albeit with really little songs. But oh well, at the very least I didn't go crazy.

Reach there rest, then after that had our outdoor activities. Flying Fox and the obstacle course. The flying fox was damn slooooooww haha, but it was cool actually doing it in the jungle, so that probably made up for it. The obstacle course was coooooool shizz. The commando crawl actually used barbed wire, although very little haha. BUT STILL... it totally owns HQ's MOC :D

The next day trek was hardcore. Wake up then hurry up pack our stuff then start climb le. The totally worst part was that the stupid equipment was frigging smelly from THREE previous batches. So the entire trip we were smelling 3 days' worth of sweat. Although you don't really focus on the when you're climbing. You just kinda will yourself to take the next step. Kinda wasted that we didn't go all the way to the top. Heard the view would've been awesome. Soooo we stayed at the end-point for around an hour (We slept for most of it) before heading back down. Forgot to mention the cute awesome dog that followed us from base camp. Haha fed some of our bread to it. Come back already, we more or less crashed in the room till dinner. The campfire was kinda fail, especially since no one really bothered to plan properly for the performances. Although the fire itself was rather big... impressive. Watched The Dark Knight before sleeping. Relieved to have something in english for once :P

Next day was sorta survival training. The jungle cooking was damn fail cos the fire was so hard to sustain. Didn't help that it started drizzling as well. Our egg only became soft-boiled (although according to the instructor, it was edible). The potato, total (N).

Going back was rather much the same, except perhaps that Lucas was more hyper than usual, and Ze Bin was emoing more than usual, probably cos of his wife :P Cheer him up also cannot. Sighh...

I guess that's about it for Mt Ophir...

Good Night :)
