hehehe! hugging my beloved Kiki (mah shih tzu!) as i type this. he's wrapped in a blanket, another one of our practical jokes =D do all shih tzus have an attitude or is it just mine yea?? have to ask =.=
(just fought him off the keyboard, attention-HOGGER!) so as my post title imposes, this post is about the second day of our MoFe 2.0!
After having breakfast at the World Club Lounge again - yum this time we could properly enjoy the food there, plus i brought loverboy - we had to take the ten thirty bus down to Awana Resort midhill. (not bad we were taught time management too indirectly as we had to take the shuttle ourselves, quite fun, ahhaa!)
 |
| THE destination |
Once there, our luggage were put on hold and the reason why we were asked to wear t shirts and shorts (basically, lightweight clothing) was exposed --- we were going jungle trekking! almost 2 kilometres if i remember correctly x.x
AND it was going to be a blood-leech-mosquito love triangle. uuurgh.
BUT WE WERE GOING IN PREPARED! (thanks to
Watsons, one of our sponsors!)
 |
| our very own FIRST AID KIT! |
 |
| mosquito repelling patches! first time trying one |
 |
| stick it on! your arms, legs, even jeans or shirts! |
by the time we were done all of us looked like some
Bersih 1.5 team going into the wood, yellow stickers everywhere, hahahaah!
 |
| bersih-like? i hope not! Xp |
i even saw someone with it on in a ring around her ankle too, as a precaution against leeches Xp the patches have a strong herb medicine smell, but according to Adam it attracted the leeches >.<
following are the pictures my awesome teammate Rian took with the JV300
Fujifilm camera (mine was left with loverboy when he went to check in! we weren't allowed to sigh)
 |
| a longhouse that we passed by before entering the forest! |
 |
| something you don't see in KL! *CREEPED OUT |
 |
| see how deep we're in??? |
After two hours of mentally, physically, and psychologically exhausting trekking (yeap, checking for leeches every ten seconds and plucking them off one by one does that to you), we were OUT!
First thing we did was to sit on the path on the golfcourse, throw down everything you have, and starting checking for leeches AND bandaging the neverending stream of blood from wounds (word of note: next time, bring salt or saltwater).
 |
Accident or not huh??
Picture taken from Hanis' blog! |
i can imagine that we looked like a bunch of car crash victims to the one aunty and uncle playing golf, but we DID clap and whistle when they hit the ball! (probably thought we were hooligans x.x)
 |
| winning pose after the trek! lovely ladies aren't we =)))) |
Afterwards was our long-deserved LUNCH! Served at Rajawali Restaurant in the resort itself , hehe!
i guess most of us just sank to the seats in exhaustion and numbness.
 |
| beautiful view, though! |
 |
| enjoying my Alice in Wonderland lunch |
 |
| all the cakes and jellies! yum! |
 |
| Mr No-Way! |
 |
| last challenge before we set off for absailing |
Another round of walking up the same path to the activity center where we would go for absailing *terrified, i mean i DID do all these in high school
lah, but it has been so long! *knees trembling and squeaking
 |
| the emperor and empress of Absailing Land |
 |
they laid it out so nicely for us!
how come in high school camp don't have wan |
 |
| spot me sexily checking my harness *ahem ahem |
The key is to have the harness tight around your waist and hips so that you will be snugly harnessed for maximum gliding impact and minimum accident rate (i made that up)
 |
| that's me inching down slowly =D |
The challenge was to get down ASAP and the fastest team wins! by this time we were all too jaded to really compete so the best of us merely took out own sweet time. Hear that, Mr Kiasu-Adam?? *wink
Lastly again, BEFORE we were allowed to check out, we had to post or twit or blog about the day's events! everybody just posted a picture on Facebook cuz they were too tired x.x x.x x.x
 |
| Mokky summore go pose nicely here, not tired ah? |
 |
| the Yes huddle loaned to us again! Thanks to Yes 4g |
my rooooom! my beautiful, beautiful, ROOOOM!! finally!
but i only got to enjoy the suite for a little while, just to bathe and then let loverboy bandage my FIVE leech wounds that wouldn't stop bleeding x.x even the bandage itself was covered with crusting blood already by the time i got back.
 |
| lovely kitchen and living area! |
 |
| you can peek into mah rooooom <3 |
i just LOVE their designs, gonna have it ncorporated into my dream house! literally DREAM house, cause i dreamt of it one night and it was so clear (it has glass corridors upstairs so i can watch my future kids if they suddenly go sleep walking!)
After the hour or so of preparation for dinner, we were dressed again in our
Wrangler tee and jeans! (i.m staring right at the paperbag now btw in my room)
Dinner at Pasar Ikan Bakar past the longhouse at Awana, if you want to replicate this experience, remember to call ahead and book in advance! like the name hints, they serve grilled fish and a variety of meats =D
 |
| comfy Arabian-like theme for dinner! |
 |
| everyone having a great time |
 |
| see? it can be comfy and classy at the same time *astounded |
 |
| and the closing ceremony starts on a good pitch! |
 |
| me and Rian receiving our certs and vouchers =D |

P.S. just finished the book "I've got your Number" by Sophie Kinsella, thought that it would be a trashy chick lit, but it was really good! heart-warming and lovely, read it! <3
