geog trip was fun fun fun!

day one.
6 plus hour journey.
watched the game plan on the bus.
arrived at swiss garden hotel kuantan.
dumped our bags and headed out to the beach facing the south china sea to look at rocks.
yes rocks.
i thought it was dumb at first before i saw them - all rocks look the same to me.
but it was a really enriching experience.
seeing how those strange rocks with their strange weathering processes come alive, right in front of you.
headed to Teluk Chempedak beach to look at erm more rocks.
cuboidal jointing patterns, sheet joints, pressure release etc.
compared basalt and granite. (more like attempted to)


daytwo.
breakfast. my favourite time of the day =)
i think i ate at least 7 eggs for the five days.
went to Beserah Beach Village Road to study granite outcrops.
its amazing how ms ting, ms lim and ms kavi can speak so passionately about rocks.
i think the rest of us were fascinated but not as into it as they were.
ms ting was a happy girl today.

visited Panching Caves to study limestone formation.
we had to climb around 225 steps to get to the cave okay. and it was soooo steeeep.
going up was okay but i was soooo scared coming down. like really scared scared.
and gimlim bullied me all the way down!!!! he kept making stupid comments about me falling. hahaha.
thanks shihui for reminding me =)
horrible experience but it was worth it to see the cave.

and then my favourite part of the trip!
we conducted stream studies, measured the stream channel width, depth and velocity.
then we went to the Panching Waterfall!!
jade and i were soooo excited to swim in the waterfall.
we were the first to reach the waterfall and we thought - aiya we go in first everyone else will follow.
so we jumped in and dragged jo in with us.
and then. nobody else came in.
we felt so retarded hahaha. but heyy i wouldnt miss it for anything.

dinner was by the hotel poolside.
awesome.



blogger keeps screwing up the rest of the pics are in shutterfly =)

daythree.

breakfast and travelled to kuala lumpur.
longgg ride. checked in at the legend hotel.
went on top of the telecommunications tower to try and mark out the CBD zone.
try.
most of us gave up after a while. all i saw was... loads and loads of buildings.
while some of the mainstream people busily copied notes. it was kinda scary.
then we travelled along the monorail in our groups and studied the different stations.
the buildings, human traffic, cars, environment and stuff.
it rained. as we stood there counting cars.
and humans.
it was kinda fun though. my group was niceee and it was interesing to see how kuala lumpur was developing as a city, how they plan their whole structure of their city.

went shopping at Berjaya Times Square after that.
it was only an hour. sian.
bought earrings and a shirt.
dinner at Hartz Chicken.
loads and loads of chicken =) yummy.

the fields were pretty though, irrigation systems, tractors and all.

seafood lunch.
nobody ate the crab. except andrew.
nobody wanted to have dirty hands.

shopping again!!
one hour again.
jo, jade and i spent one hour at one shop.
bought two tops and a skirt.
and then when we were at The Mall (its really called the mall) shihui enticed us to buy more stuff at body shop.
they were having discount!!
less than 10 minutes and i spent another 50 sing.
shihui spent more lol.
