8th January 2011 - Saturday

Malaysia, Punggai Trip Day 2

woke up at around 8am, washed up everything and prepared to go out for our breakfast. anyway, before we went for our breakfast, we walked around the place, and took photos of the surrounding. you see, we arrived at around 11.30pm last night, everything was dark to us, now is the time to snap every single things we see xD

Chalet D'Punggai

the surrounding area

the path that leads to our room

OUR ROOM xD

with all of us :D

this is the place we will be having our breakfast, lunch and dinner at...

so many food varieties for breakfast =)

my choice of foods

let's eat!!!

after breakfast, it's totally free & easy for us till 1pm. the best thing was.... there's absolutly nothing here. no mall, no shopping, no restaurant, no nothing. and obviously there's no wi-fi here too haha. i'm going to be CUT AWAY from the online world for 3 days. lol we have to spend our one whole day here, totally testing our patience, away from the luxurious life we used to have, lol.

although there's nothing, there's still playground for us to play, there's still sea to enjoy the sea breeze, beautiful scenery for us to take picture with. i'm contented for once xD

lalang!!!

i missed playing swings!

do we looked like small kids?!

time to move on to the beach area. there's this wild mushroom on the ground that caught almost everyone's attention. those with camera started to spam photos on it, as if it was some kind of mushroom-model!!! hahaha.

cute mushrooms

and they were so amused by the mushroom LOL

the beach, the sun and the tree

Me, Moo & Ginnette

we even found a tree which the tree trunk grew diagonally up, and so we can climb up and sit on it. i don't know why i got phobia going up, maybe due to i'm not wearing any shoe but slipper plus my slipper has no friction. i'm afraid i might trip and fall and break my toe nail which was pretty long.

anyway, i managed to go up with the help of Ginnette and Joshua. hahaha.

Joshua with his favourite action

and Moo trying to balance himself?

me and Ginnette sitting happily

yay!~ we're sitting on a tree!! hoho

cheers!~

enough of the beach area, time to move on. we were really walking aimlessly, we just walked wherever the road led us to. no fixed destination, just walked only.

and there's 2 cows by the roadside. lol. i wondered do they dashed out to the road? hahaha.. and we also spotted cow dung, such a big pile with funny green flies, yes, they were in green, bright green somemore. haha. never really wanted to post the photo out, it looked really disgusting haha.

mooooooo!~ *Moo, i think they're calling you :D*

still walking aimlessly...

funny small houses there

we walked past this big piece of lalang field, and we suddenly wanted to stand behind those lalang grass to create the lalang feel. lol. and those grass is making me so itchy..

can you feel it?

the ultimate lalang feel =D LOL

and after walking for how long, finally we came across one provision shop. yes, just pathetic ONE. immediately went in and grabbed ourselves a can of coke @ RM1.50. tasted soooo heavenly especially in this kind of super hot weather.

picture with the mama shop behind.

no idea what's this in the middle of nowhere?!

continue the endless walk

finally the walk came to an end, a dead end.

took a picture with super huge jackfruit.

it's a dead end finally, we have no choice but to u-turn back to our chalet. thinking of going back for lunch, but lunch not ready yet, and since we totally have nothing to do, we went back to our room and sleep =X took a short nap, but we ended up sleeping for 1.5 hour.

woke up at 1.30pm, and out we go for lunch.

tired after the long walk.

our lunch varieties!

and mostly, i took prawns!!

without rice, haha don't really like to eat rice.

after lunch, we went back to our room, played Pictureka! again, listened music, stoned for awhile....... and power, we went back to sleep xDD hahaha.. this is practically the one and only one overseas trip that i spent most of my time sleeping. eat and sleep, eat and sleep. lol

and the next time when we woke up, it's 6pm plus already. time to go for dinner. see, i was right! it's all about eat & sleep!!!!! but before that, we saw those astronomy people already set up their camera, telescope all those. ready to catch the sunset, and prepare for stargazing later on.

and we also joined in, and waited for the sunset. and it was freaking cold with the wind kept blowing to our face. and unfortunately, we didn't really managed to see any awesome sunset due to the clouds that kept blocking the sun.

nice view

you see! only like this?!

we saw swings again, this time round it was wooden plank one. it's more harder to swing than the normal one. gonna play like a kid again =D

swing and swing..

higher and higher..

Xue Ni spotted this tiny kitten at one corner, so cute. and she was like mesmerised by it. haha. and we also saw one dead kitten died inside a drain or what. the drain was without it's metal lid, and i guessed that kitten walked blindly and fell into the trap, probably unable to climb up and die of starvation. so poor thing.

white kitten xD

yay! it's dinner time!!!!

our spread of food for dinner

my choice.

small amount of rice will do.

while we were eating half way, it started to rain heavily. wow, i can see all of them started dashing out to the dark and save their camera and telescope. while Xue Ni went to save the kitten back to the under shelter. lol.

all were pretty disappointed that it rained at the wrong timing. hopefully it was just some passing-by rain, and the sky will be cleared soon!!

and thank god, it really was some passing-by rain. it stopped finally. and again, we saw people started to set up their camera again. hahaha. anyway, this Punggai trip finally had some value at night. the sky here was so awesome, when i looked up, i saw the sky full of stars!!!! really FULL OF STARS!!

but it's on and off due to those low clouds that kept moving. but nevertheless, i have never seen the sky full of stars before!!

can you spot the Orion?

it's 3 in a row!!

so many stars!!!!!!

anyway, it started to drizzle again. so we went back to our room, decided to set our alarm to 2am to continue to stargaze, but i seriously doubt any of us can wake up at 2am. hahaha.

so it's time to sleep. me back to my old style again, i don't want any stupid mosquito to attack me, so i'm like wrapped from head to toe. from jacket, to long pant, to sock. everywhere fully covered except my face.

and it was really warm like mad. sleeping on the bed is so much hotter than sleeping on the mattress below!! i don't know why. maybe science theory applies: hot air rises, cold air sinks. the bed area only can receive hot air?! lol
