Okay!! Let's continue to blog about Day Three. What are you waiting for? Let's go... =)
DAY THREE (15 JUNE 2009)
Again, a good night's sleep allowed all of us to wake up rather naturally before the stipulated time. I took a deep breathe and said quietly " What a nice and long sleep! ". We packed some important basic things for trekking at Mount Gunung Bintan and CIP (Community Involvement Programme) at Muslim orphanage.
After we settled down, we had breakfast. The Indonesian's food was nice, so nice, very nice. SUPER NICE and DELICIOUS too. That's why our Group D created the cheers by saying " D...D...D...D...DELICIOUS!!! ". Lol... xD The Indonesian's food is fried rice with egg. I ate two times but I still did not feel full. = =" *Burp*
When we finished our breakfast, we have to relieve ourselves as there is no modern toilet in the tropical forest or otherwise you have to find the place secretly in forest to relieve yourself. After that , we got ready for trekking at Mount Gunung Bintan. I was so excited as I love trekking very much. We boarded the bus and set off to Mount Gunung Bintan.
We reached there finally and got some warm-up exercises to prevent from injury or else. Then we were READY!! The sequence was C, D, B and finally A. " READY, SET, GOOOO!!! " We started to trek following by C then D then B and finally A. We were guided by experienced and expert instructor (LifeSmith).
At first, the gradient of the slope was gentle so it was easy to trek through the forest. But after few metres ahead, the gradient of the slope started to increase. It was arduous task that we needed more energy to take big step through the forest. My leg muscles started to stretch hard that I feel like I want to give up but I told myself not to do so. As the slope became steep, we needed ropes for assistance along the forest.
My body started to sweat that my T-Shirt drenched. xD After about 2 hours later, we reached the top of Mount Gunung Bintan. We had achieved for reaching 371 m high of Mount Gunung Bintan. Hooray!!
We took many photos at the top of the mountain as a memories. After few minutes later, we again went down to the foot of the mountain. While we went down, there were a lot of slippery onto the big boulders. We took an extra precautions when we stepped down. Frankly speaking, it was more tougher and challenger too than where we went up to the top of mountain as there were a lot of obstacles ahead. But I like it as I love challenge. =) I was almost fell off the mountain and got slipped many times due to slippery. Thanks God for saving me.
After about 2 hours later, we have reached the foot of the mountain safe and sound. We got a beautiful, very beautiful reward. Guess?? WATERFALL!! =D We took many photos too. We had made achievement for reaching top and foot of the mountain. We had done our very BEST!! Well done! *clap* =)
When we finished of taking photos and changed our new clothes, we got lunch. Erm... The Indonesian's food was quite okay. After we finished our lunch, we got ready for Muslim orphanage to lend our hands. =)
We were brought to there by bus. It took about 45 minutes. We reached there finally. I saw all the young orphans were waiting for us. I was very touched and felt blessed too. =)
After we settled down and dispersed to different class. Our Group D went to "nursery" class. All children were damn cute. =D We taught them a basic sign language like from A to Z. I was very surprised that they learnt very fast. After half hour later, some guys played soccer while some girls were watching them playing soccer.
I did not believe my own eyes as some Indonesian boys did well in playing soccer. I hope they will achieve their dreams. After few minutes later, the unwelcome rain started to drizzle. So we ran back to orphanage.
Before we went back to Agro campsite, some of COR members expressed their warmly feelings to all people in orphanage. I prayed for their good health and have good life when they leave from orphanage. My eyes started to well. I don't know how to explain my feeling to you as the word cannot be describe. =)
After we reached campsite, we were told to sleep for one night in hotel/resort. We were very excited as there was beautiful bed, nice shower and many more. We really cannot wait to have a cool and nice shower. Lol... =D
When we finished our shower, we went to restaurant for buffet dinner. Erm... I bet you that you want to know how our buffet dinner. Am I right? =D The Indonesian's sumptuous dinner was DAMN DELICIOUS!!! Thanks to COR for giving this special dinner. I'm really appreciated it. =))
After we finished our dinner, we went to air-con hall for appreciation night. During appreciation night, NTU gave signing song perforamce. It was nice and wonderful performance. Keep it up!! =)) The HI participants gave performances : simple hip-hop dance and action-like COR/instructor. The most funny part that filled the whole hall into hilarious laughters was especially Wei Ling actually acted like Chew Ming Ying (CMY) when she showed the sign that CMY always showed. CMY looked like Wei Ling. Really... COR members said that too. It was really wonderful and memorable event.
After that, LifeSmith gave a surprise by having fireworks. Also it's for Jay Lee's and Aloysius's birthday. =)) Then we went back to resort to have nice sleep.
Before I went to sleep, Nabliah and I went out of our rooms, had a chat and looked at the beautiful starry night sky. =))
The Indonesian villagers were curiosity why we were at Mount Gunung Bintan. =)
