Of this tangled mess of strands that I have made up of my life, let Me pick the path that pleases You.

I decided to put this entry off for way too long. I was thinking "put it off put it off i can do this next time" but it seems like 2 days is about enough. I wont remember so much things if I do this any longer. So here goes like 4 days of coverage of my awesome Tioman trip!

Day1:
Oh yea before I start I would like to inform you with my deepest regret that this post would not be image-heavy coz I only brought my videocam, which is like footage of long walks which in the end, nobody really cares. ok...

The day started with all the four of us (Candy, Jon me and Nadz) talking about meeting up before meeting the rest for the trip. I gave the idea of tonning outside but my mom was like "WHAT KIND OF FRIENDS YOU HAVE. ITS 3 EFFING AM IN THE MORNING" and I was totally nonchalant as usual. In the end everyone just decided to meet at KAP instead at 5am. I saw Nadz there first and we were totally excited.

We met the rest in the atrium, which is creepily dark at 7am in the morning. I saw Chuan Seng, whom was familiar then I realized he was Gary's friend. I'm not that kind that goes "hey I saw you before!" so I just looked at him from afar. Apparently he's from Malaysia...I think and he's year2 unlike Gary(totally useless info). I thereby conclude I have somewhat a more sensitive eye to details. Ok I digress.

So we boarded the bus, thinking that it was going to be a fun ride. The bus ride was way too bumpy for me to doodle so I rather sleep. The most irritating part of it was 3 freaking bimbos that were yapping away in the back. So gross. They even sang to the radio. I'm not denying that I do that sometimes but they were way too cringe-worthy to ignore.

The chalets there were okay...it didn't have a good aircon but I never liked aircons anyways. The TV was infested with malay channels, except the cartoon channel which no one bothered to watch. I honestly think we are the only bunk group that bothers to entertain outselves with Malaysian TV LOL. Being the hygiene freak that I am, I was obsessed with making the bunk sand-free, making me look like a housewife. -.-

For the first activity was the trekking. It was really a nice experience coz I never really did any trekking without safe pavements before. As I was busy recording some footage, I slipped. After a long trip, our organizer told us the only way back was the way we came from. I was like WTF. But being in Tioman already, I just wanted to experience everything.

Completely exhausted, the next activity was a lesson in snorkeling. We went to the shallow parts, which only had dead boring coral, but the water was FREAKING cold. I become nauseous when I become cold, but never will I dare to vomit in my own breathing tube eww. We lost nadz for awhile and I was honestly scared for her, I tracked everything person whose head was in the water and not moving. Thankfully we found her.

Oh yea did I tell you Tioman food, or rather the food provided for us, was EPIC-ly awesome? When I mean epic, I mean near-tasteless-disappointing adjective. Dinner was epic as usual, as with all other meals except breakfast, you will be served soup, vegetables and 2 meat dishes respectively. Oh yea, that was not the most retarded thing. They freaking made us scoop noodles with spoons! I'm sorry for being so nitpicky but its so illogical to let people scoop something up that needs a firm grip.

After dinner was freaking ice-breakers. How old are we? I think we are old enough to make friends ourselves. Mr Lee, your ice-breaker = fail. Anyways after that we went back to our bunks completely exhausted. I wanted to sleep BUT (this happens over the next 3 days) the room next to our bunk we had some chinese bimbos spamming heart attack like 1 fucking am in the morning. I know overseas trips you normally don't sleep but after snorkeling in icy water and trekking for like 32456456757km I think its pretty obvious in the social metabolic norm to FUCKING SLEEP. ahem.

Dear dear...I thinking I typed too much. I shall continue tomorrow with day two and subsequently for the rest of the days.

Just Because
