hey. IM BACK :)
i know you guys miss me so much rite?? haha.
anyway, lemme dish abt camp! this shud be quite a post, so bear with me :)
rie, now im gome alone, bcoz my mom has a function and my dad's at work. quite a difference from being surrounded by people 24/7. but its ok. i'll enjoy the quiet fro a while.
intro first. for those very blur, i went for pesta camp lasting 6 days. went to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. this is part of Boys Brigade, calling all companies from all over malaysia.
Day 1
Jesh and gang picked me up from my house at 7 am. sooo early :(
we reached the airport, and while waiting for the plane, we sat outside mcd's and were talking i guess.
a few of ur went to this bookstore, sara wanted to buy eclipse with me, but they didnt have. how sad. haha
on the plane was cool. after we were flying already, 5 of us squeezed in 3 seats and started playing card games. we were so noisy until the lady in front of us strated glaring. had to shift places after that. haha :)
Sabah from the air was so breath taking. esp all those islands and stuff, preetty :)
after landing, i think we waited like 3 hours in the airport for the bus. the camp people, made us wait A LOT. hmph.
well, we had kfc for lunch. yuck. not a big fan of the food.
played speed also on the tables, was sooo oily. but Malinda still beat all of us. she's good. haha
finally the bus came, they brought us to UMS, Universiti Malaysia Sabah.
got our rooms, i roomed with Melinda, Sara and Faith.
Day 2
in the morning, we had visited the Pesta Kaamatan fair. many many people there. the highlight was this trampoline in one of the long houses. super fun! cant explain it tho, gotta try it :)
Later we headed to this sports stadium for our opening ceremony. had to wear ceremonial uniform. uber hot :(
me and su teng got stuck holding the signboard thing in front of our march past. that was super tiring. hands felt to tired after that.
but at least our commander, that staff-seargant dude was funny.
im not even gonna start on the seargant in the KL contigent. haha to charis and faith :)
btw, the pesta theme song was super lame. haha, made fun of it during the whole camp.
Day 3
today was D-day.
singing and dancing competition. plus drill too.
in the morning drill was held.
omg, the judges were absolutely sucky. they didnt even know how to pick the finalists. the better ones didnt get through but others got in. we didnt get a spot.
Dancing was held at night at the lecture hall.
Our performance was the best three minutes of my life. absolute high after that. we all could feel the semangat, which was cool :)
we did our best, the moves were great, singing was loud and we had the attitude.
but, we didnt win. we didnt even get a placing in the top 5.
that was really unfair. even other companies thought that we deserved to win.
out of 5, 4 of the winners were LALA. -.-
so biased right? we were better than them. but maybe it was for the best la.. so its fine.
Day 4
today was the day of the bamboo dance. we got in to the malaysian book of records having the largest participation of the bamboo dance. nice la, but we had to wait about 4 hours. in the freakin blazing sun. that was torture.
but after that was bliss.
becouse they cancelled the games, our company held our own games la. played a lot. freakin fun :)
made frens with others too from Sandakan and joshua from Kl.
at night the gospel concert was held.
now, that rocked. i think Sara, Faith and Su teng are smitten with jonathan tse.
his music was really good. kudos to malaysian artist man. i think they're getting better and better each time.:)
just google his name if ur really interested.
Day 5
this also was a great day.
had city tours today.
went to a shopping mall, where i bought two funky bracelets ;)
then went to the tanjung aru beach, where we played with the crabs in the sand. haha, gross but fun :) the sand also was really cool bcoz it was sooo fine, and soft.
Lastly we went to the Sabah museum. quite cool la, bcoz u know we studied sejarah rite, so i could recognise all the names and stuff.
made fun of sara also, so i guesss that made the trip thru the museum even more interesting.
at night, it was the gala dinner (galala) and the closing ceremony.
food was like a 8 course dinner or something like that.
sitting with our company was like the best la. soooo fun.
bcoz we got bored with all the speeches and stuff, we started to spike other ppl's drinks with chilli padi. haha, their faces was priceless la. i think the waiters got annoyed with us after sometime though, bcoz they had to keep changing our stuff. but it was really good. haha :)
i think that dinner was a highlight for charis also in one way or another ;)
stayed up quite late though, since last day what :)
but we still got about 5 hours of sleep though. that was normal for all the days we've been there.
Day 6
this was the best day out of the whole camp. :)
pesta finished already so just our company went to the filipino market to buy souvenirs. i got a funky bag. really cool and i love it.
after that we walked to the shopping mall, then we had lunch at a coffee shop.
Ma, Amelia and Charis shared a plate of koay teow. we weren't really hungry.
Then we headed to jetty. our boat was the best. super fast with the wind blowing in our face. laughing the whole way like crazy ppl.
we went to Manukan Island. pretty :)
the sea was so clear and we could see the fishes swimming all around.
went snorkeling and fed the fishes with bread. so cool :)
we also collected seashells. i collected some funky purple ones :D
we then headed to the tanjung aru food court to have our dinner. damn expensive la.
after that went to the airport. the ride back was bit uncomfortable. the chairs so wierd la. we slept the whole way.
reached home about 1.30 am. had a bath then slept until 1 pm today. that also was bcoz my maid woke me up :)
so that was my pesta. :)
im tired, tanned but puas. haha
ciao.
