Hey everyone! In case you actually havent seen me floating around the forums, I have returned. I got home on Friday night at about 12:30 (so technicly I actually got home on Saturday morning... bleargh it doesnt matter) I had an awesome time. I went trekking, kyaking, did a high ropes course you know all the average stuff you would expect to do on a camp but this was loads of fun (atleast most of the time) There were a few little things that went on in camp like people complaining about climbing Mount Santubong and me being shoved with a group of people who are just so incredibly slow. Now that may sound alright at first, until you realise that you really just want to get to the top of the mountain because your making a good pace. Sure I mean I didn't want to selfishly run off and leave my group (and of course I couldn't anyway thanks to the teacher) so I had to go it with them taking useless and rather annoying stops every couple of meters. It was worse when I caught up with my friend James and we chatted. Whats bad about talking to one of your good friends? Nothing, what was wrong was that he was in Group 11... the last group... our group was Group 1... we had fallen behind... 10... groups... we had fallen behind... and were last... So all that aside I couldn't take it anymore and as soon as I got to the second interval of the walk/climb I went ahead to try and catch up with two of my other friends; Alex and Charina who had been allowed to completely ditch their group and go ahead.
Other interesting things included the trip to Bako National Park where me and another one of my friends, Calvin, got into a fight with a gang of monkeys to protect a cabin. It was pretty funny stuff, taking up sticks... except when your trying to challenge a very fiesty, male monkey which doesn't want to be pushed around. I ended up picking up a stick and piffing it at him and his little gathering... where he then ran at me... of course he was too scared to fully take me on 8) but it was still startling all the same.
Another of the interesting things we did on the last day was go on a free time trip around the town of Kuching I think its called. That was great fun, despite the fact we originally didn't know what we were going to do. I ended up buying S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, which is pretty cool if my computer was a bit better to run the damn thing, I have a really old rig and want to try and get it upgraded soon, but sheesh the whole world doesn't revolve around me spending money for my computer, I do need to spend it on other things too...
Besides all that, haven't done much since I got back. Went out to lunch yesterday with some friends and now I'm just sitting around trying to get myself to start studying (I'm hopeless at chemistry so I really need to get to work on learning all that) I have the long weekend now anyway, so there is plenty of time to study (exams start not the Wednesday coming up, but the one after that) I'm pretty confident for everything actually besides Chemistry, so yeah shouldn't be too hard.
