Something very funny happened this morning. So this is the story. I called Choon Hong's house to ask him about something. Tut tut..tut tut..does the sound of phone ringing sounds like that? So around 2 minutes later, his maid picked up the phone.
Maid: HARLO?? (very loud..so yeah i caps)
Matthew: Hello, can I speak to Choon Hong please?
Maid: APA??? CAKAP BM!
Matthew: Oh..sorry...maaf...bolehkah saya cakap dengan Choon Hong??
Maid: YOU NAK CAKAP DENGAN SAYA???
Matthew: Err...bukan....Choon Hong.
Maid: SAYALAH SINI
Matthew: ....Hong?
Maid: OHHH HONGKAH!
Matthew:Ya ya..Hong
Maid:Masih tidur.
Matthew: ....(swt) Maafkan saya kerana ganggu. Bye
Maid: O.
It was funny. It's this kinda ppl that makes life well, not boring. =)

Wednesday, May 30, 2007
No words can describe my experience to Teluk Batik. I mean, amazing is not even close. Even excellent couldn't make the cut. It was truly unforgettable. It was about 2 when i reached school. As i got out of the car, i could hear someone saying "WAH..so small bag!" I thought mine was big. Some ppl brought luggage. Some two luggage? Geez. So we entered the bus, kinda old.
The trip to Lumut took around 4 hours. Wow, can reach singapore already, including checking the passport, and have 30 minutes to spare. The reason, the driver took the old old road. Bumpy and slow. He was just trying to safe cost. Take highway must pay 20 bucks mar. Understandable. swt. Everyone's spirit were kinda dissapointing, more than half were sleeping, like we just finished our camp. The journey wasnt very pleasant to me. Here's the story. Marcus and Matthew were sitting in front of me. And marcus brought his PSP. So they both played Burnout Legends. And a guy..boy.,who happened to be marcus' skating friend, who happened to be a gizmo freak, managed to catch the scent of the psp from way back of the bus. We were sitting quite front. So he came and watch them play. Quite irritating, since i'm sitting behind marcus. Plus, his arse kept moving, like a baboon's. Damn. And then when it was matthew's turn to play, he climbed OVER the seat to watch him play. Somemore keep begging to play. Can't you just buy a bloody psp for yourself for goodness sake. And for my nose. Damn.......
We reached Teluk Batik at 7. Kinda sad and dissapointed though, we were camping behind the motel. On a field. What's worse? No trees. NO TREES. Oh, we were also provided with street lamps. How thoughtful. So this is what they call camping. Modernised camping. So next time camp at hotel? At that time i thought the 250 bucks just went down the drain. Then each group built our own tent. Me, Choon Hong, Marcus and Matthew were a group. Matthew managed to get 2 tent. Actually had an ingenious plan to connect the two tent to become a bungalow, which worked! Unfortunately, the trainer didnt allow it. Maybe will make other ppl jealous. Hmm..So in the end, 1 tent for our bags and the other is where we sleep. After introduce ourselves, we were divided into four groups. I was with michelle, joyce, hugo,nigel, aiman(nadia's bro), tak sheng(not sure), ridzuan(rafiq's bro), and sean(BEAN). The nine of us together formed the group called Datsun. A very old model car. Somemore, I became the leader of the group, because i'm the oldest in the group which is so not true. Joyce is older than me...Lol....and Michelle is the assistant. The first day was kinda bad in terms of games. We were kinda the slowest in the rope game, and were mediocre at the mirror game. We just have slow reactions no biggie... T.T. Survival cooking wasnt bad, i guess. To start the fire is one thing, to keep the fire burning is the other thing. I guess this reflects on our life. To set and start a goal is always easy, but maintaining it is always hard. All the bumps will always bring you down, making you have to start all over again. Am i getting wiser???? jk. Overall, we did great with the magee. That was it. We did not boil the egg, potato and nescafe in time. So here comes the fun part. I craked the egg into the magee. and stirred it using me hands. Disgusting and raw!! Potato,it was Michelle's brilliant idea to carve it to get some deco. Hugo did the nescafe, mixing the powder into water with this hands. Kudos to our group. =p.... Then, our worst nightmare happened, we had to down everything to our pitiful alimentary canal. The potato was bad. It felt like my last week's food could come out anytime. Urghhhh. Don't worry michelle, it's not your carving skills that made it bad. =). It was just raw. The magee soup was the hardest. The thought of it containing raw egg inside it sux. So we gave up drinking it, to avoid diarrhea. That night me,Ch, Marcus, Shi Yen and Melissa did not sleep. So we just chit chat nonstop till the it was "RISE AND SHINE" time.
Morning, we gathered at the car park for our morning jog. Here's the toughest part for me. As in my group, there's a boy Aiman(Nadia's bro) who was hyper sensitive. He was the only who was late to gather. So in the end, our whole group were punished and had to do push up's on the carpark. Ouch... So Mr.D who didn't know of his sensitivity, blamed him for all of this. Like i said, Mr.D was just joking. everyone could tell. So Aiman was so sad, that he walked away and cried. So as a leader, i HAD to find a way to comfort him and bring him back.It was hard, I keep telling him that everyone is waiting for him,and that they are not laughing at him. Which was a bad move, as everyone were laughing at him... Oppsies. Change strategy.
"Are you a man"
".....Yes"
"Then why are you crying man???"
"........."
"Come on.....MAN DON'T CRY!!" (couldn't believe i said that, i was holding my laughter.)
After some time, he stopped crying. It worked. Swt. It was the first time i had to do this. So we went back and all of us did our jogging. After morning exercise and breakfast, Mr. D and A (every trainer have their own letters..) asked me to talk to aiman again. Which i did. Before that, he did not cooperate with us as a team, therefore delaying us and pulling us down. so what the heck just try. in the end, it worked. Suddenly, he became so motivated. And that made day 2 a great day. It was the Explorace next.(something like amazing race) It was 2 hours of non stop running, which was full of fun and excitement. In the end, we did great. although there was one part where there was 2 roads. Everyone said to take the left road. But me and hugo insisted on taking the right road. In the end we took the right. Well..the right road was about 2 kilo to the destination, where the left road was about 10 metres? Both of us were So embarassed. The others gave us the look. Ouch. Apologising time. Other than that we did great!
Next, we were told to make a sketch and a song for a performance later. It was tough, having to make both of them on the day itself.The songs were kinda funny. And the sketch had the potential to be hilarious but i guess we rushed it too much, in the end no dialogue. it's just aiman stabbing all of us one by one. Swt. The beach was beautiful. Except the scare of jellyfishes. Someone spotted a jellyfish(from what i heard) so we could not go deep. Bad news was, while playing ball, zc got her nose bumped. Blood dripping all over. Somemore heard her nose abit bengkak and bengkok. So to Zee Ching, I hope your nose will heal and be straight once again =D.
Jungle trecking was quite fun.Nothing much to say, just found 2 really big jellyfish dead on the seashore. Was already amazed i could go through all this after not sleeping for 2 days. No supirse though, we just drop dead on the sleeping bed on the bricks which was actually cooling and windy, unlike the tent which was like sauna.
Last day, we played the blind folded game..which was to me, the most fun part. I was the one in front which was the most fun and dangerous and painful. Why, i got knocked on the head once on a sign board, thrice on tree trunks, and on the monkey bar. Then we had to make the kite. I was just blurred all the way during this period. I just don't understand kites. Can't your just put motor on it? Sigh. After all that, it was farewell. Kinda sad to leave this place. The trainers were very entertaining(they just love their jobs and why not?). They were the ones who made this camp a camp. I mean, they even have MSN and Friendster. How cool is that? lol.......
On the bus as expected, silence. Overall, i would give this trip a 11/10. Getting to know more friends and of course, getting closer with my friends! Which was cool. Not forgetting, respect to Shi Yen who did not sleep at all throughout this trip. Not surprised if youre still sleeping..haha.

After school, I had already planned my day. That is to study from 3.00pm until white hair. So as i walking up the stairs, i was so ever ready to study..like a battery(GET IT???).. Then, something caught my eyes. A black box, the size of a book, lots of black hairs sticking out of it. It was smiling at me. I stood there for awhile. "An hour wouldn't hurt", i thought. So i turned on the switch, put the cd in and play. Yeah, play my PS. Around 2 hours later, i turned of the ps, turned back, and saw a bigger box. This time, it was white. I think you'll know what i'm talking about. "Another hour wouldn't hurt",i thought. And here I am wasting time blogging. zz.
Seems like a month i last blogged. i think I made alot of errors ^^^^^^^ there. Too lazy to check.. Also, by the time you read this, the exams should already finish. So, enjoy your holidays. 2 weeks...2 weeks...
"The Earth is getting hotter because of global warming. And I found a solution to solve this problem. Put more air-conds and turn them on 24-7. If that doesn't work, we will be dead within 10 years." You think my parents will buy that?
