DSLR! Waterfall! YAC! sleeping soon..!
yeah, that's the highlight of today..
after about a week of internship and being cooped up in an office, today is a much eagerly awaited day trip. waterfall leh! i love waterfalls! >D the only minus point is that some people were smoking there. tsk tsk. surely the water refreshing, mind-clearing and enjoyable enough without having to add nicotine. i sort-of understand if one wishes to smoke at work cause, yeah, it's a stress relief for some but at a waterfall?? -_-"
then we had lunch together at AC first while waiting for Donny's friends to come lead us there. sat next to Leishia, Jason and Tony who's from China. So cute to watch Tony teaching Jason how to speak and pronounce mandarin words. xP but to quote Leishia, "You watch cute la. Try teaching and see??" well, his effort is commendable though. if i had that much spunk and good spirit, i might actually NOT be a xiang jiao ren now. heh.
and on to the trip! now, this is very ditzy but i've forgotten the name of the waterfall.(*edit - it's Sg. Gabai. Thanks, Leishia!) suffice to know that it's somewhere between Cheras and Kajang. the drive there was soh ser-low...not because of the driver, but that's what happens when we travel in 5 separate cars and have to wait for each other. so, what do youths do when stuck in traffic together-gether? we....
camwhore! then we bluetooth the photos around. (Shu Ling's Samsung has a gorgeous built in camera..! i jealous! xP) then when traffic gets reeeaally slow, we bring out the cards. Chor Dai Di anyone? even the driver can play, you know...win one round summore! haha. see, so honest, we play fair. oh, and i got posession of Ming Yan's DSLR for the journey. dang, bitten by the bug edi, i want one too..! the focus and clarity...sighh.. but, RM2k for the camera alone, not counted lenses. that's what i kept thinking about all the time i was holding that baby. xP need to get used to it, though. guess i got alot of rubbish photos in there while experimenting. sorry and thanks, Ming Yan!
at the waterfall, oh wait, MUST talk about the hike up. i guess it was the altitude and the steepness but even with proper stairs my legs were aching as we climbed. out of breath before we reached. bleh. but after resting for a lil while, i couldnt' wait to get in the water and play again. :D needless to say, the cold cold water perked us all up again. then, where's the fun in going to a waterfall if you don't get all wet and splashy? Rachel and me couldn't wait to get into the water. hehe. people white water raft, we come here and white water slide. ^^ again, Sunway Lagoon got beaten hands down. ;p but the one gal's stamina i gotta admire is Beatrice. since the start to the finish, she never stopped sliding down, climbing up and sliding down again. it's great though, cause i'd always have someone willing to go with me. Ju Wen another one.. eventhough she was hesitent due to a certain forgetful reason (heh), once she started, she never stopped. then just before our "last" slide down, i thought i lost my contact lens. it was so weird having perfect vision on one side and being blurry on the other. like one is the natural perfection i want, and the other is my reality. but having blur vision is better than none. make do with what you have. ;) i found it after sliding down though. felt it still somewhere poking my eyeball. soh glad i don't have to go buy a new box yet.. broke la this month with all the parking fees. T_T
then after all that hiking, playing, splashing, posing for pics, of course we'd be tired and hungry. went to this place called 'Kaki cafe' in Cheras (?) for dinner, western food for quite reasonable prices and friendly wait-staff. they even have live singers there for you to request songs. not voices that i quite appreciate but it was amusing to see Fiona, Rachel and Beatrice excitedly requesting songs much to Eugene C's chagrin. (apparently he doesn't 'appreciate' their vocal prowess either :p)
"WHERE'S MY TONG HUA?", B as we were leaving after dinner. the singer/guitarist came out to apologise and say that it's their break time. lol. cute ler.
real tired now, waiting for my hair to dry and so decided to "pen" down some of the more memorable moments of today before i forget and days turn to weeks then, 'suan le' too far back to blog about liao.
:( might have to buy new cable. more money going out..
