Malaysia, Punggai Trip Day 1
my first Astronomy Trip to Punggai. apparently, the Astro people tends to have monthly astro Punggai trip, no exception for this month. but this month we tagged along together with them as well.
they set off on a Friday night, just nice for us to end work, rush home, had a quick dinner, grab bag and off to Jurong East Interchange to meet the rest of them.
and together with Ginnette, Joshua, Moo and Xue Ni. time to set off to Malaysia, Punggai. in search for that white mini van, and poof, off we go!
on board the mini van
heading towards Woodlands Checkpoint.....
CUSTOM CHECKED!!
back on the van
after Malaysia Checkpoint, we travelled for another 1 hour before the van came to a stop at a 7-eleven. it was said that once we reached our chalet at Punggai, there won't be any mama shop or supermarket around for us to buy things. so we have to stock up whatever we need at the 7-eleven.
majority of us started spamming ourselves with packets and packets of potato chips, cup noodle, etc. anyway, 1 bought one packet of potato chip which i have never seen it in Singapore before, and also 2 cup noodle which couldn't be found in Singapore. sometimes, we have to try something different xD.
stocking up at 7-eleven
we travelled for another 1 hour 30 minutes to reach our destination, Chalet D'Punggai. by the time we reached, it was around 11.30pm. our surrounding was pretty dark, and there's nothing nearby. so we just followed the organiser who led us to our chalet hut.
the room was pretty big to fit the 5 of us, with 1 single bed and 1 queen size bed. when i first stepped into the room, it reminded me of the kampong resort i had in Tioman. the totally same kind of feel xD. very de kampong style! hahaha
our room =D
since it was our first night here in Punggai, and it was already 12am plus, what else can we do besides spamming photos at this hour? can't possibly asked all of us to go sleep, we don't sleep that early xD
and so, with Xue Ni huge tripod and her DSLR, it's PHOTO time!!~
enjoying our first night together xD
first few shots without Xue Ni
happy happy people xD
SSG.. Short Sisters Gang.....
& Short Short Guy =X
continues the pictures flood
GROUP PHOTO xD
we stopped the photo spammed and started playing the card game, Pictureka!, which Xue Ni brought along. the game which really tested our English. the first game i lost terribly. haha. looks like after i graduated from secondary school, my language totally give back to teacher. haha
for the upcoming second and third game, i did pretty okayish. at least not as buang as the first one. haha. my first time playing Pictureka! not a bad game, quite enjoyable!! haha
Pictureka!
in the midst of playing
we even select out individual picture card which sort of represented us. haha. and here's the final selection which agreed by all of us..
Ginnette: Bird - she loves bird alot
Joshua: Alien - he loves to show the alien handsign
Moo: Cow - because of his surname "moo"
Xue Ni: Kingdom - because she's the queen of our prawnie kingdom
Puik: a pile of shit - because i love to shit =.='''
card representing us..
and next, we even decided to help the whole Feriae clique to find pictures card that represented them. haha
the Feriae clique
well, after the hectic brain-squeezing-juice game, time to have supper. we boiled hot water using mineral water that we bought from 7-eleven. didn't really trust the water from the water tap =X haha. anyway, i cooked my Asam Laksa Cup Noodle, and it tasted not that bad, plus the chili tuna Xue Ni bought, totally heavenly!!~
supper time @ 1.15am!!~
we played even more crazy later on. we decided to shoot some "dead bodies" shot, Ginnette, Joshua, Moo and me just ping pong piang, and piack down on the bed immediately pretending to be "dead". it's fun actually xD
one of the best shot
2 different shots of the
dead
i dunno what's this?
but Joshua looked pretty funny, like zombie jumping up from his sleep.
Moo being KO-ed by us!!
okay well, enough of all our nonsense and crap. it was already 2am and we were still full of energy. haha. spent some time reading magazine to kill time, and slowly one magazine was squeezed with 4 heads reading it. i forgot what's the interesting article about? haha.
and one good thing was, the TV here managed to receive Singapore channel. we managed to tune in to Channel U, and coincidently, it was the repeat telecast of 娱乐百分百 at 2.30am, and that episode was featuring Derrick Hoh. omgg, Moo, Xue Ni and me immediately flew our way and sat right infront of the television xD. and we were like 3 small kids totally glued to the tv.
Ginnette and Joshua, who seldom watch chinese show, went to bed instead.
sharing of magazine
watching tv at 2.30am. cool!~
anyway, we went to bed as well when our show ended at 3.30am. one bad thing about the room was, it was infested with alot of flying insects. i have to cover myself from head to toe to pretend them from attacking me =S
and what's worse i was woken up in the middle of the night due to the overly-itchyness i had on my face and toe. damn, mosquito kissed my face and my big toe! the toe part was the most itchy one, i couldn't stand it and went to grab my socks and wore it to sleep.
Xue Ni also couldn't stand it and went to bathe at 4am. like siao!!~ bathing at 4am. LOL! madness or what?!
it's 8am... and all of us were still in our deep deep sleep.
