And so, my hundredth post on my mobile goes to a random trip I decided to go to. When I mean random this time, as in I don't know anyone who is actually going. Ha. First time I am actually doing this. Three days. With random people who I don't know. HAHAHAHAHA! I shall see how this turns out. :O

It's a club, the Malaysian society of Monash in Clayton campus. I mean, as random and as much of a stranger around here, I really don't know how will this turn out. Not feeling awkward at all to be honest. Hehe. I guess I screwed the awkwardness shit already. Besides, if I am going to feel awkward throughout the whole three days, then I wouldn't be able to enjoy a thing. Heh. ;)

9.19am, 11th April 2012.

Just throw everything aside, and just let loose. This, is how I would prefer socialising than to go clubbing or any sort. Come to think of it, I am still boggled about the necessity to go clubbing. Even when my sis and her peers says that I would eventually go somehow. Probably not as often as everyone else about my peers, but I will definitely go; they say. Not feeling like I would, but it doesnt seem impossible. I mean, we can't tell the future, can we?

So! First stop was to the mazes. Human mazes. No, I didn't like it. Got me extremely freaked out, thinking that I would never make it out of the maze, and get stuck there forever. That thought is scary, okay? :(

Then we had a semi icebreaking session where people would swap partners in the bus and make new friends. Aha! I just talked random stuff to make the conversation feel unawkward.

Then we had some mini games od futsal and captain ball. I sucked at futsal. Dramatically fell twice, when nobody else fell at all. I wonder what was wrong with my feet l. As though they were disconnected from my brain or something. The game was so fast, only thing you can do is attack. Learned that watching from the sidelines is always better. Hehehehehe. Bleah. Narrowly missed a ball that was coming towards the direction of my head. Good thing I moved out of its way in time. :O otherwise it would be a pretty epic scene.

First time playing futsal, for real. Omg. (Y)

Hot springs at night. I thought I would be freezing to a point where I would be shivering, but NO! Oh the joy. Wearing singlet and a beach shorts, drenched, yet not feeling like I was moments away from being frozen. Nice ahhhhhhhh! :D The hot springs that I dipped into were about 36 to 38 degrees celcius hot. Which is awesome when the temp of surrounding is about 14 or below. Haha! We were probably the noisiest bunch out there today. Oops. Owh well, we were having fun. :) Relaxation for abit. Ahhhhhhhh~

Then we came back to our lodge, gathered at the gathering area, played a little big 2 and there were music, creating some noise in the surrounding. :)

There are wild kangaroos here at the lodge too! Though I really think that they are wallabies, but hey! WILD AUSSIE NATIVE ANIMALS!! :D

Awesome day 1. :)

2.03am, 12th April 2012.

It was a full day event yesterday. Had some politics going on, but yeah, if there is a club with a ranking kinda stuff, there will be politics eventually. And by politics, I include gossiping of members. Hehe.

Well. Shits aside, the day was eventful. :D

Woke up at 8.30am for breakfast. Then we went for jungle trekking. I was so unfit that I was pushing myself to keep up with the rest. From the middle of the group, I ended up at the back of the pack, trailing. :O
Hahaha! Owh well. As soon as we got back from that, we had sponge cake to fill our burned up energy in the stomach. Everybody was done with it, so I had the privilege to eat extra. :P had like 4 slices of sponge cake. Nehehehehe.

We had archery after that. Only three shots per person. Ah damn. I had no strength in my arms! :/ first two arrows were misses, the third one too! It was aimed at bullseye. But noooooooo! It bounced off!! D:
Owh well. :P
Lunch we had burgers. Hahahahaha! We are so well fed here, I just don't feel like going back somehow. :P
Plus the good campany, sigh. :)

Then we had a rope obstacle! There were 14 different rope obstacles to go through, each with different methods and techniques to master; planning, balancing and actually doing it. From the outside, we could simply say, 'ah, that easy!'. But if you never give it a go, you will never know. Never know how challenging it actually is. There was this sideways rock climbing, they call it bouldering(?), definitely had no arm strength to finish it. :( but yeah. The others were fairly alright. With different strategies going into your head as you try to accomplish that certain obstacle. Moving through the rope obstacle requires both strength and brains. Seriously it took everyone a long time to actually get through the whole thing, not including the waiting time, but it was definitely a brainy workout indeed. Would want to try it again today, but my legs are bruised and my arms are pretty much aching at the moment.

Hahaha!! I am soooooo unfit. Tsk.

That night we had campfire at the lodge. Gosh. It was seriously bizarre. Within the circumference of the fire, it literally burns, but once your step out of it, you'll start freezing. I was literally shivering the whole time I was away from the ring of fire. D:
For some reason, last night was seriously cold. I was shivering the whole of last night. :/
They were singing and we played charades. :)
But they started to tell ghost stories. OMG! I had to run away from that. :(
While they were at it, I was sitting in my room with three other room mates.
Once they were done with the ghost story, we went to the barn to start off the drinking game. My first time watching things like that. Hahahahaha! Scared the crap out of me, but hey. Good experience. :)
Beer pong.
Drinking relay (sculling?)
Rodeo.
LMAO! Entertaining, really. Hehehehe. Drunk people everywhere! Most of the guys were drunk, happily high. Some girls were, but the guys were... XD
But the night ended earlier than the night before. Just the thing after a whole day of strenuous activities.

Oh. We did flying fox too! My first time. But it wad only 'mehh'.

:)
Honestly, I am going to miss these bunch of people. Hopefully I'll get to see them around uni sometime in yhe future.

Thank you, <3

Camp ended yesterday. But I was too tired to have any waking moments to type this down. :P

I would have to say, the programs were slightly off planned, but seemingly it is their own effort without any help from experts, the camp was successful. :)

We were supposed to have some easter eggs hunting that morning, but because time wasnt allowing the day before, the time was used for the remaining people to have a go on the rope obstacle course.

Came to realisation, we have all gotten much closer to each other as compared to the first day we met up. Probably strangers, the most of us, but the closeness showed when there were more successful passes on that last obstacle, which many failed the day before. Everybody was gathered at that last point, cheering on, giving support, giving advices on how to do it, and cheered for joy when they made it. :D

Last stop; sunny ridge strawberry park.
Went in to pluck some strawberries for my sis and my bro, while I tackled the rest as much as I could during the pickings. Hehehe.

It was home time.
Everybody... Majority was sleeping in the bus. Last few moments before reaching uni, we had people adding friends on facebook and all. :)

Definitely something that I would not want to leave it as a black hole memory. It was a definite worthwhile trip. :D
