LEVEL CAMP WAS FREAKING AWESOME. Best ever. Accomodation was like whoah. The hotel rooms were big and clean and comfy and one even had ironing facilities and carpet and the toilet was gold. Food was good too, mostly buffet style and last few meals in airconditioned restaurants. Love long long long bus rides. Love our guide- Imran too. Some ppl in my bus think he's irritating coz he keeps talking. But if they'd just stop playing their silly games or sleeping they'd realise that he's really really knowledgable and interesting. He's amazing! Can do just about anything. From bomb specialist to engineer to tour guide. And he can talk about every single aspect, from history to geog to economy/ His mantra, " Life is to live. Not to exist."And to love every single thing you do. Really good speech he gave on the last night. I was damn emo that night. Kept tearing over non sad stuff like when he talked about some cancer patient and clowns and how laughter is the best medicine and when he's smiling he's actually crying inside. Ok I think the last one is quite sad actually. I LOVE MALAYSIA. I'm missing it like crazy now. The change in environment is really obvious. For the 7 hrs or so, all we saw were trees and a single road and neatly aligned plantations. And the moment we got back in S'pore, the view was dotted by ugly HDB flats and every single road has a rigid divider. The one thing I don't miss though, is clean toilets with toilet paper. There was one day when Hong didn't allow us to go down at the petrol kiosk. I think his exact words were "stay put" A few ppl went anyway, but I didnt want to have to beg just to go to the toilet. Jm went and the bus started moving w/o her. We kept telling him but he just continued reading his never ending book. Finally Imran heard and stopped the bus. And in the end we still had to wait for freaking 4I who were able to go to the toilet AND get snacks. So me, Sherm and Tiff controlled out pee. I almost peed in my pants seriously. When we finally reached the Lemang place I hobbled off and asked Jiang Ling if there was a toilet. And Hong, with much conviction, was like "No dont have ....." So WE DID IT IN THE BUSHES quite deep into the forest. FREAKING A LOT OF MOSQUITOES. Got bitten everywhere after that 3 of us were just jumping around coz we were itching everywhere including our butts. AND THERE WAS A TOILET IN THE END. Think it was to take revenge on us for being late by 40 mins in the morning when he called us idiots and chased us off the bus. But I think my conscience is coming back. I just dont hate him anymore. Everytime I try to rebel agnst him I'll feel damn guilty. Coz I look at him and he looks quite awkward and pathetic. And I'm obviously biased against him too so much so that I don't a single of his gd points. Still don't. Now before I do something wrong I'll think a lot, too much. Wow very long post. We won 3rd for the song competition. Super shocked. I had said beforehand that our chances were 1:100. After that I got beaten up by the girls and niaoed like crazy by the guys, what with my peeing escapade in the day too. 4Gs one was super super good. Love level camp 2007. P.S M'sia has Greys anatomy 3 and S'pore does not! melissa at 10:04 PM |
