what i did last weekend~~

Cuti-cuti RC July 2005

it was an escapade longed by most of us..most of us need to take a break from the hectic life..all the piling assignments, the over-worked mind, the overloaded capacity of thinking and studying...and most importantly, the pressure on our Final Year Project papers.

the real purpose of Cuti-cuti RC is for the RCSU members to have fun together in an environment outside UTP. RCSU is basically a volunteerary body that helps the Residential College management in managing and maintaining students' welfare in their respective hostels, or also known as Residential Colleges.

but for us, Final Year students, it was an escapade that we really need~

the trip from UTP to Pangkor took us around 1hour 30 minutes. We stayed at NipahMas challet, which is a good place to stay. the rooms there are equipped with two beds that can be occupied by two person per bed; an air-conditioning system; and bathroom complete with water-heater. after lunch, took a short nap..which is basically one-hour long :) and the girls? they went for souvenirs shopping spree.
around 2.45pm, most of the boys retreated to the nearest beach, while the girls went back to their rooms for their lovely afternoon nap.

the boys, hereby mentioned as we, started to berendam all evening. from 2.45pm until the dawn started to settle down. throughout the berendam session, we managed to ride banana boat, kayaking and had bowls of refreshing ABCs :)

while the girls, later in the evening, had their jet skis ride..what pissed most of the boys was that the girls were accompanied by "abang" in-charge of the jet-ski while riding that thing..basically, "ada abang teman derang naik jet-ski laaa"..hehehe

then, we had a sand-castle building competition..our castles were assaulted by the "tidal" waves ("time tu air tgh pasang"), plus physical attacks by other group members..then, each group was assigned to create an animal representation using the beach sands. the animals were: elephants, snakes, squids, jaws, and a hybrid of cockroach+ant..

that night, we had a bbq session...i intentionally decided not to help the juniors..hehe..i came all the way from UTP to enjoy myself..hehehe
after dinner, "Abg" Poji taught us new games, called "botol", "chap kalicap kalicap chap chap" and "gorgon!" (more on this in coming blogs)

Sunday..we were supposed to have a snorkelling session..woke up and got ready at the beach by 7.20am..had a quick dip in the sea that morning, when suddenly the waves were getting bigger, and the wind was blowing harder..it was the sign of bad weather..

cancelled the plan to snorkel, instead had our breakfast at the stall at the beach..unforgettable moments: was having our breakfast (nasi lemak), when "hujan pon turun, and tempias air hujan masuk ke nasi lemak..kiranya pagi tu makan nasi lemak berkuah..hoho" and btw, a girl-friend of mine, gave us a rare opportunity not to be missed.."muka awek comel yg rambutnya serabai and mengerbang ditiup angin" hehehe

when the rain stopped, some of us went back to the beach. the sea was very inviting. so, we went into the water, and played along with the waves..and we called ourselves "pemecah ombak", or wave breaker..."kiterang mandi pon kat tepi pantai je..kira cam main ombak jugak laa"...the waves made us rolled onto the beach, while some of us even had to perform summersaults, when we were pushed by the waves to the beach..

while we were having fun, came a big wave..when we were brought to the beach by the wave, came another 2 waves continuously "pounding" the beach..had a sensational feeling while in the waves..
when everything cleared (at least for me), somebody shouted to me, "adik, kawan tu dik!"..at first, i was like,"ni pesal plak nih?"..then a young man shouted, "dik, ambik kawan kat belakang tu!"..i turned around, and saw a friend of mine stood helplessly in the water..her face expression showed that she is near to crying and panic. ran to her, grabbed her and brought her to the beach..she was truly shocked, because when i grabbed her hand, she did not give any reaction.

luckily,nothing happened to us that day..and for that, i truly feel grateful to ALLAH.."mmg bersyukur sgt2" unfortunately, she's already taken..hehehe

and now, i am longing to go back to Pangkor...perhaps one day when life seems to be so cruel to me, i should go there to relieve my stress...
