I need to get this entry over and done with but hey peeps, its still gonna be long because my time at Kota Gelanggi is when the most Inspirational events of my shortlived life happened and god forbid, if i were to have amnesia, at least i'll have this blog entry to refresh my memory of the time i spent at Kota Gelanggi. Its corny, but hear me out first ouh k?

So.
The 3rd day of camp. I already talked about the morning spent at Jeram Besu and lemme continue from there. So we had breakfast after all that nonsensical Lai Chee Kang thing and were in the multi-purpose hall waiting for the arrival of the 2nd half of the Group 2 people. Before that, we were like taking pictures and all, with the ever so adorable Slow Loris, and Jackie, the blak Gibbon. If i remembered correctly, Jackie grabbed hold of Farahyn's camera strap when we were staring at him in 'wonder'. Kinda cute if ya ask me. Then we took near the beautiful fully-bloomed blue morning glories and man, the garden is a B E A U T I F U L sight in the morning. But im digressing. So the other half of group 2 came. Man, i missed Andy and Hannah so bad!!! I almost went hysterical when i couldn't find Hannah after hugging Andy. But i found her, and to my relief, she was ouh k...omg!! My first impression of Kota Gelanggi was so bad because of Andy. He's arm was like bloody red because of his constant scratching...I think he was bitten by 4 mosquitos on one arm.

So, we said our goodbyes and left for Kota Gelanggi. Alia was so sad because she missed Danial so damn much. But surprisingly, she didnt get to hug him, but Farahyn did!!! I know, because i saw. So anw, she was all moody in the bus and cried. Poor baby. At the first toilet break, instead of going to the toilet we bought loads and loads of junk food!!! The Chipsmore was sold out sia!!
K, anw. We arrived and me, Farah, Alia, Wei Chong and Samuel were the first people to stepped into the cave which is where we would be sleeping for the night. Ouh klah..not the very first, but the first people from the first half of group 2. Man, talk about natural airconditioning. We spent very little time picking our tents and help others to build new ones. It was kinda fun. And Abishek was very helpful. So Hakim, stop bitching about him.

After we settled down, it was time for Caving!!! The caves were spectacular!! It was so fascinating. We saw all types of things. There was a portrait of the Mona Lisa..A carving, actually... It was very nice!!There was the stalatites and stalagmites...duno how to spell them. Then we saw boulders in shapes of people. I like the one of the husband and wif the most. The husband was kissing the forehead of his wife on their wedding day. So romantic!! We saw a messenger on a horse, a lion, a keris. So many things!! Then this guide called Sabri was like 'Nak tengok elephant?'...Everybody was like really excited alredy ya noe. Then guess wad? It was so lame!! We were all anticipating a rock that looks like an elephant and he shone the torchlight on his shirt, which has an elephant on it!! Bloody toot sia!

The caves were a tight squeeze man... We had to go through cracks and all...Had a few bruises here and there but hey no pain no gain right? Hahax...so on the journey back, Farah was flirting with all the guides!!! Man, gurl can't you stop fer once??!! Sheesh. So, we all went back and soon it was near dinner. Sembahyang at the surau with Adinda and Farah. So sweet of Mat to lend me his socks. Btw, its brother Mat, one of the hardcore gays. Not Mahathir =D

Very nice ya noe the socks. Its blue with pink ribbons!! Hehehehe...So gay right? So after that, i was very lazy to wait for Farah to finish praying and helped the other people to cook!! It was so funny!! Me and Alia were like the pros in cooking omelettes and where teaching Ryan and Ke Kang!! So fun...Then there was sardines and loads of vegetable. Ew =P. So not long after, we all sat down and ate dinner. Miss Lee came outta nowhere and join our little group consisting of me, Alia, Hakim, Dewi, and Farahliyana. Miss Chia joined too. Alia, naturally, didn't finish her food. Then after that, while Farah was eating with Aisyah, Alia, Ryan and me wash the dishes!! Alia washed the forks and spoons, I lathered the plates with soap and Ryan rinse while Dominic hold d clean plates. Jun Hui helped Alia later on and ya noe wad, we finish the chore fast man!!! We all washed up and with huge smiles on our faces, return back to the group. Ya noe what happened next? The whole group clapped for us!! Was so rewarding! At least they acknowledge us!! Hahahax =P

Here comes the scary part of the night.
The Solo Drop.
Alia was crying her eyes out when she found out that everyone had to go through the solo drop. Farahyn was shaking uncontrorably because she was cold and scared, obviously. I was too but, i duno, somehow i put up a 'im fuckin bored, can we please get this over and done with' kinda front. Don't ask me why i did it. Maybe its because i felt that there was a need to put up a brave front for all of my friends. I thought that if i do, they wouldn't feel so scared ya noe. I went a little too far when i said this 'man, this is a total waste of time'. The leader of all the guides, Sir Aedi, was totally pissed at me sia when he overheard me said that. He was like, 'A lot of thought was put into this activity and Don't you dare tell me that its a waste of time!!!' Omg!! I almost jumpped outta my skin when he said that sia!! But of course, i did it for a reason, so Sir, if ur reading this, u'll know why i did what i did.

So, we all lined up in a straight line and were given numbers. Mine was 56. Each of us were 10m/ 25 paces apart from each other in the pitch black gravel road. From time to time, guides and teachers will walk by us. I was chilled to the bone even though i had my windbreaker on. Something about the whole place just gives me the creeps. I duno. I don't dare to speak and onli open my eyes if a guide walks by with a flashlight. For a good 20 mins, i was alone. 'Enjoying' the sounds of the night. Every creak, every crunch alerts me. I couldn't see either Farahs beside me. But i was saved!! For a good 15 mins,one of the guides sat next to me and talked about the 2 things ya need to survive in a forest is a lighter n knife, about the bee season, about frogs, about how to get water from what kind of trees. It was so cool. He was interupted by none other than Alia, who was accompanied by Miss Lee. She couldn't take the pressure and vomited. Poor Baby. Well, soon it was over. We collected all the 63 people and went back. A huge smile was plastered on my face when we reached the campsite. We all taked for awhile about the 6 stratas of emotions while enjoying the bonfire. Soon, it was time for bed. The night was so HOT!! I had to change to my spag and shorts man!! But it was a badddd....idea because i was freezing cold in the morning. =P

After Breakfast, we did Abseling and made friends with the hardcore gays!!!Mat and Izzat!! Lurve them to bits!! We talked and sang 'I will survive', 'Mungkin bila nanti' and loads more!! Of course we weren't racist because we talked in english so that wei chong, ryan, abishek and samuel could understand. After the girls and i..........BATHE TO OUR HEARTS CONTENT!!! Farah, Farahliyana, Aisyah, Dewi, Alia and ME!!! All of you ah...Keep borrowing my Herbal Escense!! Damn fun sia!! It was bloody nice.. The river was cold and we were like hairstyling our soapy hair...man!! Wad i would give to do that again!! After that ya noe wad? We all tido!!! At least Farah, Alia and me lah...

After that we waited for the bloody Catholics to arrive, get on the bus and headed for the Tekam plantation for the Reunion Dinner. After that there was a crying and mourning session. Seriously. The Group 1 guides could not make it and they cried because they did not say a proper goodbyee to them. So, we all cry3. The Quakers and Afros were so KAYU sia!! Sorry guys, but u are!! Aren't you guys borned with emotions??!! No, is it?

We had a cheering competition. Celtics did Lai Chee Kang. Survivors lost. Too bad guys. Groups 1 Normans were still crying. Group 3 Anglo-Saxons tak kuase. Yea, after that have prize giving ceremony. Ryan won for his foolishness of letting go off the rope during the flying fox and 3 guides had to swim after him. Ryan still blames Mr Ng for daring him. Hahahax. Then finally!! We went to the train station!! Reached at 1am and the train came at 2.30am. Sir Aedi came to see us off. Gave his email add to Alia, which is aedidea@hotmail.com. And well, we were on our way home. Sorry for being brief but people keep complaining that my entries r too long!!
