field trip

lazy + tired + no time ..

so i'll just give a review on how the 'field trip' turn out..

*worry not, i think the 'barney' will describe everything in more elaborate details later, go check out from her..

hmm,
what i'm glad to find out of:

am finally safe & sound back home
*and realize how nice it is to be back home after 3 days being away from proper network communication coverage area, and places with NO internet

best place is always at home..yay!

bus ride for the trip:
considerably comfortable in the big tour bus & cool air-conditioning

accommodation:
o.O" not enough beds but luckily still has sufficient space for us to sleep anyways..
however,
noisy frogs and sounds of other insects + cold night (without good blankets) = bad quality sleep

thus, been able to wake up quite early for the 2 days, so maybe this is why i always need to drag myself off from bed in the morning back at home cos its way too comfy compared to staying in dormitories..haha

food:
simple, edible, enough to keep us all filled up a bit although it's not worth RM 10 per meal we paid for and we need to wash our own dishes after eating..

feels more like camping out during high school nature outing really..

bathrooms:
were alright but mostly with no locks, what do you reckon?

environment/surrounding:
obviously full of green trees and there were plenty of monkeys in sight everywhere at the nature park..

fireflies night:
was interesting enough, coz all we thought was hoping not to fall into the river from the sampan in that dark area..

felt like we saw christmas tree with those lightings on them even though we confirmed again that they were indeed real fireflies..haha

managed to catch 1 firefly after playing with them a few times, of course we let the poor thing go in the end before heading back to the pier coz i heard 'tangkap 1 firefly pun kena fine RM1000'..

definitely canot afford that =.=" & we're NOT that mean after all

mangrove swamp:
can't avoid getting muddy & not fun if half of the time, you're trying to pull your leg out one step after another so you don't get stuck in the mud

primary & secondary forest:
just good enough to notice that there were no leeches sucking blood out of us innocent humans or any severe insect bites..

better than i expected, at least i got back without any sign of scratches from branches or heavy trips or slippery falls..

only a couple of mosquito scars and 1 small bruise mark

it's not my first time going into forest, learn some plants (and forgetting them after that) but typically, this trip is another experience away from the city and into the nature..

of course, we had a get-away from the hustle & bustle for a while but still has to come back to reality of dreadful reports & assignments

*it's been really stressed to actually think that what we did there (with lots & lots of complicated data) eventually would lead to tough post field-trip reports anyway

anyhow, it's always good to be able to take a break in the midst of the busy life, get a breather before moving on with more things ahead

wouldn't intentionally visit either swamps or forests in near future though
but surely prefer to go somewhere more relaxing, where there's less fear of mosquito & insects..

and wouldn't mind to do something adventurous as long as there's good company during free time or holidays, where we can have real fun all the time then

so, anybody has any plans to go anywhere for a simple vacation or something (that's at least after we're done with everything)

you're most welcomed to give some good suggestions..really looking forward to next trip somewhere..

pathetically, right now, have to focus on serious stuff to do first and foremost >.<

bye bye forest..
