Survey Camp in Ayer Tawar, Perak

Euphonious is already over. The Grand-est event (Don't you reckon, vern?) in UTP is over, but then, I didn't make it. In fact, 30 civilians weren't able to make it to that event that night.
Due to obligations to the faculty.
Due to obligations to our degree.
Due to obligations to the course.

GEOMATICS

We made up alot of reasons of denial throughout the whole period of camp.
This camp is solely to enhance our land surveying skills in another different site, other than the ones in UTP.
The area was secluded.

No tv.
No radio.
Nearest sundry shop was 10-minute walk away.

The only civilization we had was our phones and the signals!!
and for most of us, MP3 players came in handy, and I had iPod with me tagging along.
Other tech gadgets would be our cameras, camera phones, and laptops, besides the theodolites and total stations that are used for the survey.

Only a few people brought along their cars, the rests were plain lazy and we regretted a lil.

The day begun with the tasks delegation and we were under the sun for 4 hours.
Doing land surveying.

It was not entirely tiring, because in between there were jokes and camwhoring sessions.
The scorching heat was unbearable; but nonetheless, it motivated us to complete the tasks faster and earlier.
Teamwork was essential.

At night, the reward came.
BBQ party for everyone.
Prawns, chicken wings, chicken burgers, sausages were BBQ-ed, people ate as if there was no tomorrow.
(I personally had 30 pieces of prawns! Damn nice weh..totally forgotten about cholesterol level for one day!)

And then, the camwhoring session continued.

Everyone looking pooped and tired out..or at least, we pretended to be..it failed la..on me..

Trying to impersonate Tyra Banks but then..I looked horrified..?!!!!

This picture taken when Teehooi was so engrossed with her drumstick that she refused to camwhore with us..we managed to force la in the end..

We then moved on to another activity, which is illegal. We had camp fire!
So, all of us gathered all the wood available, even resorting into tearing down the fence, to make them as one of the firewood..

After all the wood was gathered, there was one fault. No matches, or lighters. Kenneth went scurrying off to look for lighter..or fire source..in the meantime, Okuswa thought of the most conventional way to light up fire..haha..mentang mentang she took Geology last semester..She tried rubbing two sticks..hehehe...

Haha, she sorta got pissed when we laughed at her..so she attacked us out of fury..

We won, of course. She was outnumbered.

After the fire was lighted up, KeeHui brought his Guitar out and started to sing "Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls.. and more songs after that.
I told him to play something, which brings the meaning of, "Missing someone"..
then he played, "No woman No Cry" by Bob Marley.

Funny.

After that, the day ended early..We woke up early, in time to go for a round of chatting session in a nearby jetty.



The next day was presentation of data.


It went well. I don't even know half what I was supposed to say..

There was even more camwhoring sessions during the presentation itself. One of them which is:



Meet Okuswa..too bad Natasha was not with us..she went for F1..

OH YEAH, WE EVEN HAD 2 GAMBLING SESSIONS THAT 2 DAYS. WE DIDN'T PLAY WITH ANY "CASH", ONLY TAKE DOWN ACCOUNTS..RM1 PER BET LEH...hehe..so many "lan dou guais" in CIVIL..hehe..(not supposed to publish this though!)

We left the campsite around 2, had lunch in AyerTawar, reached UTP with a backache.
Did I forget to mention that we slept on the floor the night before.?
