For the first day, we went to Bukit Tinggi. We checked in at the Selesa Hotel and got into our rooms. Our teach wasn't satisfied with the rooms, so we had to switch again. Then we carried our bags to the parking lot. Then we grabbed our water bottle and went to a golf lake which holds different team deathmatch. LOL. I mean team activities. I don't know why I said that. We first went to the Laser Zone, which is a challenge where you had to pass through a zone without touching any strings. It was pretty hard, and I kept failing so I told someone to replace me. :P Then we moved on to Bridge Crossing. This one required a lot of weight and teamwork. We had to make a bridge and let everyone across it including the two broken planks, which were needed to make the bridge. Then, we went to the Electronic Maze, this was pretty easy and we went pass it in no time. We had to figure out the route of the maze. After that we went to the Capsule, which was a capsule that has a lot of holes. A ping pong ball will be kept in the capsule and water would be poured in it. We would need to block the holes so we can take the ping pong ball out from the hole. We failed this one since we only had two tries. Then, we went to an activity which name I forgot. Basically, we have about 6 platforms and there are 7 of us. Then, we needed to get to the other side without touching the grass. I fell quite a few times but the person in charge didn't notice me! :P The next one is called Water Crossing. There are two ropes and we have to get to the other side without falling into the lake. I successfully crossed it! Then, the most fun part of the telematch, Raft Building! (Well, technically it wasn't Raft Building since they helped us tie the whole raft together). In the end, we came third! Wasn't too bad. Oh yeah, and during the journey there, we watched Ace Ventura. (None of us were actually watching the movie, I was talking with my friends and listening to music. The others were playing games. Too bad there was no internet at the hotel. I slept with 5 others and it was chaos in the room. We kept annoying each other! Then, the next day, we woke up at 7 and ate breakfast. We immediately took off to Cherating after that and it was a long bus ride. We watched Marmaduke and a basketball movie. I watched a little bit but mostly talked to my friends. When we reached there, we ate our packed lunch and played Truth or Dare! After that we went to a room and got briefed about what we were going to do and how to do it, we went to the beach and investigated about waves and tides. We also investigated about sands and vegetation cover. After that, we had dinner and had a quiz. We came somewhere around 3rd or 4th, all I know is that we tied with the group in front of us. After that, we edit the movie that we recorded. We then went to the Turtle Sanctuary and saw a documentary about the turtles in Malaysia. We then saw a group of turtles in a pool. Too bad we didn't get to see the turtles hatch. Then when we got back, I stayed up watching Raving Rabbids. :P The next day, we were given a choice to make a geo-sculpture or continue editing the iMovie. My group decided to team up with other groups to make a huge sculpture. My group made a huge turtle while the other group made tiny baby turtles and the other boy made a monitor lizard. We won the Best Teamwork Award! On the way back, we watched The Green Hornet and Tekken. We stopped at two places, one to eat and the other to ummm... use the bathroom. :D We returned earlier than expected and I went home early. I wished the trip lasted longer! My favourite part in the trip is the fact that we are learning while having FUN and actually staying with our fwends! Well, most of them. One of them keeps annoying me! And you know who I'm talking about! Grrr... Other than that, the whole trip was really fun! ;( Sorry about the placing of pictures. Had some technical difficulties! D:
