International Award Expedition..

The Belum Forest- its really a nice place, especially if you're a nature lover. We spent most of the first day getting there; we left in the morning but reached in the evening. They called it Pulau Tali Kail (TKI) which was to be our base camp for the next 3 days. Shortly after we reached, we had a briefing at night, then we slept in one of the shelters provided.

The next day, we had a tiny advernture- kayaking. We were divided into groups and we kayaked in pairs. Our destination? Another island. We kayaked a little more than 4 hours in all, then we set up our campsite.

The next day, we broke camp at about 8, then we departed back to our base camp. We didn't kayak all the way back, we stopped a distance away and trekked for 2 hours back to TKI. It was great fun. We had a barbeque that night and some presentations by the different groups. We left for college the next day.

Being away from my books and college certainly was refreshing. On the other hand, I made new friends, and had lots of fun. In a nutshell, it was a great way to spend the weekend.

This picture is me, trying to look really tired...

Me, Myself and I..

I got turned down for a blood donation just now. I'm hurt. They say that anyone that has been living in the UK for more than 6 months between the period of 1990-1996 cannot donate blood due to some disease outbreak back then. C'mon all I want to do is to help.. Sigh..
Anyway, the exams are just a little over a week away. I shall restrain from blogging to accomodate for my new found hobby- studying. It feels really nice to see everyone so geared up to study; some of their eagerness must have rubbed onto me. (which is great)

I'll be playing my first hockey match after this. ( I hate hockey)
