Say hello.: Far away in the mind.

Well, even with all the soon-to-be-overdue assignments and all the others that already are, we photoheads had to go on this little trip with simon to a hilton resort in the middle of no where. Actually, it's somewhere around batang ai but I don't think alot of people know that place. Kinda freaked when he told us to cough up 180 each but hey, I can really say now that the trip was hella worth the money. Oh and I hated the 5 hour bus rides, felt like I was at a wet gay concert.

Anyway, got to campus at about 5am on saturday to pick up eve and yao so we could all get breakfast at McD's before leaving for the resort at 6. 10 buck breakfast and a damn long bus ride later we stopped by for a few shots at a powerplant simon seemed very fuckin keen of. Was pretty cool, couldn't wait to get over to the lake on the other side of the dam wall. Soo pretty~ A macro few shots outside the control center of the powerplant turned out real well though. Even got in some shots of ants and bees as well! Not of which I will be posting because of sheer laiiijjjjinessshhhh.

Hopped over to the lake for a half-hour boat ride to our final destination at about 1pm. Got some majorly nice shots on the boat so VAVAVAVA! 8D

Got to hilton and trudged to our rooms (cameras snapping the whole way) to get ready for our short jungle hike. Had to share a room with nazrin and his pal ivan but it's okay, they're cool. Spent most of my room time next door in yao's room though. Back to the rooms, OMWAAAAA. Either I've been staying in the wrong hotels for the last 10 years or I got a whole lot more than I paid for (seeing as it was 180 I had to pay, I like to think so). Seriously, the play was like SHO NICE. 8D Maybe it was the bad transport and heat that got me that impressed but hilton definitely made it onto my kewl-hotels list. Anyway, didn't feel like showering so I just dropped my bags, sucked up on some a/c, grabbed oly and went off to meet the others.

Nothing much happened during the hike. Nothing, except the fact that some ropes on this hanging bridge we had to cross decided to snap on our crossing. I was still on ground trying to grab some mushroom shots when there was this scary CRUGHFPK sound and girls started screaming. Nobody got hurt though, apparently someone felt it was okay to break the 2 meter rule when crossing a flimsy old bridge hanging 300 feet off the ground. But some people are just dumb. You understand.

Crossed the bridge with 5 sec steps and got some pretty sweet shots on the way. Some guys pulled out their own slrs for some shots too but most were too freaked to do so. *sigh* Poor things.

Headed back to hilton for a well-deserved shower and dinner. Food was pretty good. Your usual buffet with plain water and non-stop refills. Yeah, I love anything that feels free. Had a short meeting with simon and everybody else and went down to the pool with some other dudes and dudettes after. Fun times. 10pm, back in room and out again to friends'. 2:30am, sleep.

Got up with everyone else at 6am and went down for breakfast. Didn't get much sleep but I still managed to stuff myself quite a bit, remember, anything that feels free~ Then we messed around for the remaining hours before leaving at 11. Played a bit of pingpong and loved it (wingle iz da shit yo). Snapped some crazy group shots with the gang before leaving. Haha, stupid is fun XD

Then there's that nausiating bus ride back to kc and everyone went home lookin pale and shit.

Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnn, JENG JENG JENG JENNNNGGGGGGGGGG. Guess what? Yours truly got a flat tire while driving home in the rain. But shit I don't feel like talking about that so let's get to photos~

One of the many sunset shots. May not be the best of the lot. Wish I could photograph with my eyes. Seriously breath-taking view.
