My skin was burnt from the over exposure to the sun. My legs were sore from the 47-km up-downslope cycling from HengChun to Kenting and back. My fingers were painful from colliding into a big piece of coral while body boarding. But... they were worth it.
1)Cycling from Heng Chun to Nan Wan We rented bicycles from Heng Chun and embarked on an arduous journey towards our destination... Nan Wan. The wind was freaking strong and for quite a few times i was being swept off balance. However, the view was breathtaking and it was an enjoyable experience indeed. Just picture yourself cycling down the road with the ocean at your right and the forest+hill at your left... sea breeze caressing your face... shiok...
2)Bodyboarding The only complain was that the waves were just too close to the shore. Had a really stupid accident while bodyboarding. Caught myself in a wave and was enjoying the smooth ride towards the sandy beach when lo behold a white coral rock presented itself in front of me. Trying my utmost best to stir myself to another direction, the velocity of the wave was just too high for me to do the manouvre in time. i scraped my left hand onto the rock and blood kept flowing out profusely. I had to end my bodyboarding bcos of that. However, that accident turned out to be a blessing in disguise cos the rest of the bodyboarders all suffered from painful abrasion at their abs and nipples. Haha... i was spared from that ordeal. =P
3)Jetski Ah Phong took me for a jetski experience in the open sea. The wind was so strong and chilling that both of us were really trembling like mad. I was given the chance to try riding the jetski and it was really fun. But i did not enjoy being slapped by the waves... painful siah. REally hope i will get the chance to try jet-skiing in Thailand.
4)Go-Kart AFter beaching, heh... we set off to play Go-Cart with MSG Seah. The first Go-Cart compound was not exactly enjoyable for me. In order to avoid a collision with Ah Foo at a turn, i did an emergency brake which caused my Cart to ram into the tyres... MSG Seah, unable to brake in time... crashed straight into my Cart... and Elton, behind MSG Seah, crashed into him. i really thought my back was gonna break. But luckily everything went on fine. Preferred the 2nd compound... great shuai3 wei3. hee hee.
5)Kenting After our dinner at McDonalds, all of us went to get our tattoo done at the local roadside store. The tattoo artist is really zai3. Adrian got a weed on his left delt, CKS got a warrior on his right calf, Alvin got a geiko on his right calf, Elton got a dragon on his right delt, and i got a phoenix on my right delt too. i was wondering how were we going for the RSM parade next week. =S
6)Cycle from Kenting back to Heng Chun The upslope was a killer. That's all i want to say...
7)E-Coffee Mr CKS... i will not forget wat u said abt me on the topic of hotspring in Green Island. ARGH... hahaha...
i'm freaking shagged... shall stop here... good nite... =)
My medical centre has become the 'refugee centre' in camp during this LRI period. I sure do have a lot of refugees today... all coming in to protect themselves against the flaming arrows of the evil ones. Frankly speaking, the medical centre is the only safe place right now for we are the fortunate ones not greatly affected by LRI.
on side track...i'm in passive mode... that toy boy better dun provoke me i can let you in... i can kick you out... dun try...
I was on my way to church when i recalled an incident that happened when i first came to Taiwan. I was finding a church then and i was so determined to go to this church i found but it was always close. Thank goodness my perserverance DID not pay off. I found out that it was a Mormon's church. Can you believe i almost become a cult member?? haha...
have to apologise for the jumbled order of the photos which i've posted. I did upload them in order but it seemed like the "hello" program failed me again. Oh well.
AFter having a sumptuous meal at Noble Steakhouse, foo, phong, alvin, cks, tong, elton and I made our way to the beach for some sand-motorbike fun. Didn't know the ride would be so unstable. it was fun nevertheless. Sand being blown onto ya face. Phui...
Bowling was next... accompanied with hilarious arcade games and the bumper cars. We tried the "Fiery Wheel"... it is this wheel in which one cycle 360 degree round and round. I really was in state of fatigue after going round and round that stupid wheel. lost my appetite.
After dinner, Tong cks alvin and i took 2 scooters down to Erluanbi. the night sky was filled with gazillion stars. What a sight... especially with the crashing of the waves in darkness and the lighthouse not far away... wow...
i gave myself this prediction that in the one month to come, i will make lotsa enemies in this camp. I really suck at putting on mask. I mean if i really dislike a person, no matter how hard i try, it will still show on my face. I just detest being hypocritical. Guess it always land me into trouble...
but who cares... that's as straightforward and honest i can get...
i have no idea what happened to my comp but it seems like my HELLO program ceased to load photos to my blog. Argh... i hate to leave things halfway, dangling in middle of nowhere. But what to do? sigh...
Had this opportunity to try different cars over here in Taiwan. From a brand new Toyota Altis to a middle-aged Ford, it seems like every cars has their own personality and temperament. This sounds weird but it's true.
By the way, i think my driving has improved (depends on how you look at it)... to suit the roads in taiwan. Over here... you must be FIERCE!! yes!! you must keep chanting to yourself "Go and die... i don't care...i own the road... you give way to me *@&$()@*#)@(#" yup.... that's half the battle done. What i've learnt is that if you keep to the rules obediently, you'll end up stalling at the same spot for at least an hour half. Malao driving... that's what the locals called it. HAHA. i just hope i don't bring over all these bad habits back to Singapore.
Just been extended... so will be coming back on 21 March... in the mean time... shall just travel to more places... and more photos will be up... provided this stupid HELLO program works
It was fun... great... but tiring... freaking shagged!
1)Water World Was pleasantly surprised to see the place not crowded. It was also my first time in an indoor water theme park. The rides were fun, if you put some creativity and courage in it. Haha... sometimes some rules just have to be broken to have a bit more thrill and fun. One thing to say is that the UFO ride was so cool. It's like you slide into this big funnel where you will be swirled round and round until you drop from a height into a deep pool below. I had no idea why i just kept going down head first... really did suffered from mild concussion due to the impact.
2)Go-Kart the 1st one was not that fantastic... the course was boring and the carts were like really buang. the 2nd one was slightly better in that the carts were more well-maintained. However, the course (though longer) did not provide much thrill and excitement we were craving for. the 3rd one was splendid. Great course to do Shuai3 Wei3 and the carts were pretty fast too. Haha... but i almost let adrian crashed into me. It's so weird cos whenever i sat down at the driver's seat, i will be in a trance... like i've become another person. hmmmm... probably i have an internal instinct to kill ppl who fits into the category of "who needs enemies with friends like you". Have you got that? Adrian Tong Sheng Hao?? hahaha
so tired... so shagged... shall go turn in NOW... zzzZZzz
It did not start off well today. An intended KTV trip to KHH was cancelled due to last minute circumstances. Oh well... what to do?
However, things did turned better in the afternoon. Elton, Adrian, CKS and I went to Kenting to play Go-Kart. Only having a vague impression of the place being near the end of Kenting street, we got off at Kenting and started walking southwards. Guess what? we walked all the way from Kenting to near Erluanbi in the dark which was about more than 10 km. Worse still, the Go-Kart was closed when we reached the destination plus there were no cabs nor buses available to bring us back to Kenting. Oh well... after an arduous journey of tugging our sore legs along the road, we took a God-sent bus to Kenting.
Smokey Joe's WOOHOO!! Sumptuous, sedap, delicious. We ordered Ribs and Chicken COmbO plus lotsa other stuff. had a really filling dinner.
Bought lotsa fireworks along the way and created a spectacular fireworks display by the road. (refer to pic) such simple pleasures in life can really give u the perks. It's the company that matters... not the activities.
Can't wait for tmr to come... GO-Karting and waterworld!! woohoo...
WARNING! The following post is not for the faint-hearted. For those who do not like to hear rantings and all, please exit this page NOW~~ if not please just bear with me for the next few minutes or so...
Sometimes it juz saddens me to see market spoilers among us. I mean our boss has been really nice to give us a lot of freedom and trust but some people just have to misuse his good intentions. The more i think of it, the more furious i become. So what if your father is rich and influential, he is capable... not you! It is obviously bcos of you rich kids who rely on your father to get things done that spurred me on to study hard for a bright future. Come to think of it, i must give you kiddos credit for that. I just cannot picture it... a capable father having such an unworthy son. Sigh...
ANd of cos, to another person whom shall not be named, you had better stop poking your disgusting piece of pig's nose into my territory. I've had enough of you and your nonsense. Your jokes aren't funny... they aren't jokes in the first place. Have you seen my face every time you come near me... it's BLACK!! yes... i dislike you... and i hope you've got the hint. The rest of the camp can go on to wear a mask in front of you but i won't. THe thought of smiling at you gives me the creeps. Get a life!! I'm an NSF, not a regular... i don't need your grading watsoever. I don't give a damn about that one botanic organism on your shoulder... i think the menthol leaves i've planted look so much better. I know you've got it... and so please just stop getting near me. Your sight disgust me. Your presence boils my blood. Get a life!
And you, the one with lots of aliases, freaking old and smelly. You'd better shut your big fat mouth nagging at me. I'm not a dumbass, i'm not stupid ok. You say it once, you say it good and that's ENUFF!! DOn't come like a mosquito rambling about the same thing over and over again. Do you know you have the invisible sign "TALK TO GY's HAND" on you? When things go wrong don't go running back to your daddy to stand up for you against me. Mind you, your rank is higher than me and yet you behave like a woose. Stand up like a man. Talk to me one on one. You don't have to shoot dark arrows at me and giggle behind my back. That's totally sick. Go get some balls... argh
Driving non-stop for 5 hours from Zhu Bei City (just below Taipei) to Heng Chun was no joke. It was sheer torture dodging those malao drivers, container trucks playing Initial D, coaches thinking their bus size was that of Ferrari and of cos trying to keep myself awake in the night.
No joke... after this experience i have an utter distaste for driving... no more driving for me for the next few days to come... hee hee
