PD Trip
Ack. Sorry I didn't make the trip, so I don't have any recollections of my own. Enjoy Daniel Tan's experience :D
"At least something memorable happened during this dreaded break: the long awaited/needed Port Dickson trip with close friends! As some of us had classes on Friday, the whole lot of use took off at around 9pm and arrived at Corus Beach Resort before 11pm. You would've guessed that we unpack and start resting our heads right? That's SOOO not the case. Once a prayer was said, armed with a frisbee that was made out of rubber that facinated many of us...
"Wah rubber one!" "Eh, not plastic one woh!"
...and a football, we the guys headed straight off for physicals games while the girls flipped-flopped gracefully to a litted spot for heart-to-heart chat, or whatever they call it. As for us, the fun started off with frisbee throwing but it quickly turned out to be a boring game, especially when
"Eh throw la! What'chu doing?"
"Okok.... Isaac, catch!"
* frisbee flies aimlessly to a manless spot.
That's when the football came to our rescue! (Note: Time: 12.45a.m.)
Team 1: JonLee, Luke, Jhim, Anthony, ChrisKok and I
Team 2: TienMing, Brian, ChrisChan, Isaac, Aaron, WeeLi
The match went on pretty smoothly, with ocassional disruption due to...
"Aikz! Faster faster!! The ball is rolling off into the sea already!"
"AIYA!!"
* someone gets down into the seawater and retrieve the ball.
At about 2am, with minor injuries and some with sand in their mouth, we lot went back to the hotel room to clean ourselves up. Supper-time followed as the two vans took off to an unfamiliar area at 2++am to look for food. Just for the record, PD is not like Sri Petaling nor KL. It was not easy to find food at this wee hour, but we managed to find a malay store with
1. twin chefs
2. male workers wearing 'uniforms' that look like clubbers outfit in KL
3. double the chef, double the dishes (their mistake)
4. the TV was showing a cultish movie about soul collectors...
Btw, fitting 3 guys on one bed with the normal vertical orientation.... is hell. I was crammed between IY and CK, couldn't sleep well till 5.30am. You have to understand that I am used to my Queensize bed, alone. I actually sat up in the middle of the night and asked what time it is before falling asleep again, according to Anthony. In the end, I shift to the other bed where LL and WL was lying horizontally. Managed to catch some rest till 9am.
CAUTION: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT pay for the buffet breakfast of Corus Beach Resort. Really, the food tasted horrible. Volleyball followed but for most of the time it was the 'chasing of ball' part that was interesting, partly because most of us are not really skilled with the game... nonetheless it was fun. After checking out and keeping our stuff in the vans, we headed to the hotel swimming pool.
You: ChoToMaTe! (Hold on!) That means you didn't go into the sea?
Of course! It was low tide during noon and looking at the 'welcoming' sunshine, we decided to forfeit that idea. Swimming pool wasn't a bad thing at all! We played some water games and some of the girls were enjoying the floating bed that Anthony brought along and painstakingly blown it up the night before. In short, we had a great time in the pool saboing one another and playing water fights.
By the time everyone got ready to go home, it was already 4pm, we dropped by KFC on our way home for our first taste of fastfood, which everyone missed. As expected, the journey back was silent as everyone was taking a nap in the van.
This outing was short, yet something that I had really enjoyed. At least some relaxation before the fight begins for my finals.... so from tomorrow onwards, everything will be back to studies again, and hopefully there will be enough time for me to prepare for my exams. "
