comtinuation of…camping experience…..BLAST!!!!!
Ok…so …hello again..hehe.today im rejuvenated and my fingers are all set on typing mode. Juz so u noe,this is the continuation of the previous post whr I wrote about my camping experience on the first day.in short…this is experience Day 2.
Day 2
As I said,we slept at bout 12.45 am the night b4 and bout did we have a hell of a night!! I was sleeping outside so I had to practically cover my whole body,together with my face to make sure that no creepy crawlies might ‘walk in’ my ears,nose and god noes whr else…n e way,we,or shall I say, I woke up every one hour hour…1.30-2.30-3.30-4.30-5.30 and lastly-6.30am. then I decided not to sleep again and juz gazed at the fly sheet that was coverin us..after a while,some of my frens were up so we went to wash up and get ready for breakfast. For breakfast (Indian gals made) we had sandwiches and teacher’s trade mark milo. Most of the campers were either still in their tents and so the ‘lounge’ area was more or less empty. Then I took the advantage of ‘de-sanding’ the area. (ps: the place was not clean for 1 minute!! Sand everywhere!!) But then more ppl started helpingme clean up..( a total stranger whom I’ve nvr met b4..one of anne’s frend…quite friendly).then we had nothing much to do…so we were just relaxing and playing UNO (as usual).
After a while, tilak anne asked us whether or not we wud want to hike up to tha falls…YES!!! OF COZ LAH!!!. All of us were so enthusiastic in actually hiking up to a waterfall…and so we packed our necessary equipments-ropes, medical kit & salt..(very importante for leeches..i was carrying..hehe), got into proper attire-shoes,tracks…and then off we went. Eventually the team broke up in to many parts. But out of nowhere, I ended up being the leader of one group. BOY!!!! U shud have been there!!! Each time we stopped to check ourselves…at least 2 of them wud have a leech on them. My sis,’naturaaly’ went HYSTERICAL… and so did all the small kiddies. Me, being the daring one, (im not being perasan) had to practically scratch the leeches out. I din have the time to use the salt on them bcoz we were running late. We hikied and hiked and hiked …mind u,the pathway was all hillside which meant that one wrong move…and BOOM!!! Cheranamo!!! Down u go!! That’s why we were extremely careful with our steps.. after hiking for bout 2 hours, we finally reached the rocks..it was slightly easier but complicating bcoz u had to be sure of
ur steps.. mind u,the rocks that we were on were actually carrying an underground stream. Afta a few minutes,we reached the falls…it was magical!! We were so close to the falls. The feeling was great and all the tiredness had faded. We went in to the river and held onto the rope that tilak ne had tied across the river..the river bed was infested with sharp rocks and pebbles that kept gettinf in our way. We were in the water for bout 45 mins and then had to come out as it was time to goback to campsite and have lunch..(it was already bout 3.00pm)the journey back was slight faster and way more sliperry bcoz it rained while we were in the river. When goin down steep slopes and crossing over logs…most of us used our legs but Tharshini used a very special weapon…BUTT!! Since that we had a term goin throughout the camp…The Power Of the Mighty Butt!! Hehehehehe…whe we reached campsite,it was already tea time. As to that, we washed up in the river , played some water games and while still being dripping wet, had tea and kuih bawang. It was hot and delicious. Later, I went and had a nice ‘cold’ proper bath in the shower. It was getting really dark so we had to shine the torch in the bathroom…especially for the small kids…once me and kat got back from the toilet, nitefall had taken place. My hair was still dripping wt and so to dry it, I went on over to the BBQ and help build up the fire. We had some mee-hun and bbq chicken and sosages for that nite. It was nice the way most of us were standinf around the bbq set and talking stories…(crapping)..later on, we all had decided to juz sit back and relax. We were all sitting down, some even lying down and juz talking talking and talking. When we got bored, we started playing games of course, murderer, uno, mafia, bluff… and lots more..after a while, it was bout 11 pm,when we started allocating who’s gonna sleep where bcoz most of us wanted to sleep outside under the canopy. Dexman, Suraain, Kat, Amreet and Me ended up sleeping in one row. All five of us were wide awake until 2.30am. we were playing weird games like ‘chop chilli’ and then we started playing with Dexman’s phone. We were watching the so called ‘Happy Tree Friends’ and listened to the ‘Italian Joke’. It was damn funny!!! Haish…then we all decided to call it a day and went to sleep. Unfortunately, I cudn’t sleep bcoz half my body was in a big hole in the ground…arghhh…
Ok well, my day ends here…btw -3rd day-I will write some other time bcoz I need to engage myself in other activities such as my homework…how pathetic..but it will do me good. Ok then c ya!!
Chow!!
