Ouch! I just found out that my blood type is ‘O’… And I’ve been telling people that my blood type is ‘AB’ all these while… So [i]pai seh[/i] ah! My group stayed here in the campus today for the silly blood donation campaign while the rest went out to recreation parks and beaches.. Damn bloody enjoy!

Time sure flies.. and I’ll be coming back to KL for good.. Rumors have been circulating around that we might be leaving on the 1st of May… so that means I’ll probably be reaching KL on Saturday night.. I’m gonna miss Kelantan and all the people here that I’ve met ..

Community Service has been going on well so far… with us having spent most of our times doing nothing. I’ve went to Hutan Lipur Jeram Linang for [i]gotong-royong[/i].. And guess what!? I’ve never swept so much rubbishes before in my entire life! Whoah… Definitely a great achievement. Besides that, I also went to this small little town in ‘Pasir Puteh’ and did nothing cause there weren’t enough equipments for us to carry out our ‘duty’…

Thank goodness for that.. Hospital Besar Kota Bahru is really … huge! It’s like twice the size of SJMC and you could actually get lost if wander around aimlessly! Did nothing much also… Chatted with the patients and measured their blood pressure… Kinda silly also actually… ;S

Oh just by the way.. I’m currently in the library right now and it’s breezing cold in here! *BbbRrr!* Well, as far as I’m concerned… this is like, the only place with internet access, and the connection speed is surprisingly fast as well… considering Kelantan here is still quite undeveloped.. =X

Ohohoho, it’s been a while since I last laid my hands on keyboards… had troubles typing also in the first place cause my fingers were all numb..

And god damn it, Manchester United lost to Liverpool! Argh~~~~ Murphy’s penalty goal struck the Red Devils fans here in UiTM Machang, hard.. On the other hand, Chelsea lost 1-2 against Newcastle United so that means Arsenal has clinched the Premiership title for this season..

Sigh… Gotta go now… I’m supposed to be in the AV room right now cause they are having this talk on Civil Defence.. which is damn freaking boring! That is why I’m here in the library enjoying the air-conditioner..

Ciao!

Woke up at 6:15am in the morning, only to find that everyone else was still sleeping so I decided to stay on bed for a little while more till the alarm clock rings. At that point, I was wondering if this National Service is going to turn out well as many people having doubts about this programme which kinda freaked me out in the first place. Well, whatever it is, the next 3 months are going to be one hella roller coaster ride for me being a city boy who has never been to camping in my entire life.

Got up at 6:30am and I forced myself into the bathroom for shower cause there isn’t any hot water! Just imagine you gotta take cold shower at 6:30am in a chalet with open rooftop right beside the coast. OMFG, it was spine-chilling and I came out of the bathroom with my body all numbed. Nicholas showered right after me and you could hear him screaming inside the bathroom. Hahaha! Well, I sorta did the same thing actually so … *Growls*

Left the chalet and walk across the beach to meet up with Joel’s stepfather at his very own chalet. We got ready and drove to the nearby jetty. There is a row of shoplots over there and so we decided to drop by for breakfast while watching the sun rise at the same time. A packet of nasi lemak and a cup of Teh O Ais only cost me RM1.50. You can never get such cheap food back in KL.

After that, it was all about winding roads and cows as we embarked on our journey to the campsite. It took us about 2 hours to reach the Kelantan border and made a pit stop not long after cause Joel’s stepfather was tired. Came across wide plains of padi fields with cows feeding on lush green grasses. The scenery and landscape over here are very breathtaking. Ideal for professional photographers to capture splendiferous pictures.

Finally reached the campsite at about 12pm in the afternoon. We had to register ourselves before we get to place our belongings so off we went to the Pusat Kokurikulum JPN and stupid computer broke down due to wiring problems. The officials in charge couldn’t access the database so we went to the Bachok town nearby and had this crappy Malay Fried Rice for lunch. It took the aunty about 30 minutes to cook one plate of rice, so that means we spent about an hour just to wait for lunch to be served.

Nicholas wanted to get a new Maxis Sim Pack since DiGi is being such a whore with no network coverage over here, so I accompanied him and searched for one throughout the whole area but nope, none of them are selling any of the Maxis Sim Pack. In fact, Celcom dominates the whole Kelantan as they have the best coverage over here. Left the place empty handed and headed for Jelawat.

Things were getting a little heaty so we dopped by at this store to get some refreshments. And so happens, RTM2 was airing the news regarding the transportation for NS candidates this morning. So it seems that buses did not turn up until 10:30am so parents were extremely furious about it. Even the officials weren’t present when we were actually asked to be there by 8:00am. Back in Stadium Shah Alam, things were out of handle so they were all diverted to Bukit Stadium Jalil for transportation.

I was watching the news in disbelief. OMFG, thank goodness I followed Joel here or else, it would have been a pain in the ass just to get myself a seat in those crampy buses. We got back to the campa t 2:30pm and finally got ourselves a place to sleep. Registered and we were then brought to our respective camps. And because of the problematic transportations, only 14 of us were there in the whole campsite. Had an ice-breaking session.

Dinner was great as we had curry beef and kangkung. And now, time to go to bed. Ciao.

Woke up at 8:00am in the morning. One last hot shower and left my place around 9:00am. Sister was a little moody cause she was forced to drive me down to FGA Church at Jalan Kuchai Lama to meet up with Joel. I will be riding with him all the way to Kelantan by car. Mom decided to tag along so I guess she’s going to miss those lecturings for me.

Reached the church around 9:30am, just in time. Met up with Joel and his family. Also, the very first time I met Nicholas, one of Joel’s childhood friends. We were both seated at the back of the car and it was pretty quiet during the journey cause we were like strangers to each other.. Didn’t get to talk much for the first day.

Checked the luggage and backpack for one last time before embarking on a long journey up to Northern part of Malaysia. Parents bid farewell and off we went, to Kuala Terengganu. It’s been a while since I last traveled in long journey rides. Took us about 7 hours to get to Marang. Joel’s stepfather owns a chalet here at the Angullia Beach Resort so we stayed here for a night.

Well of course, we made a few pit stops on the way here. The journey was very stressful and those long winding roads are tough to handle. We had to intercept cars which were driving at a very slow pace cause we were on a single lane road. Fell asleep in the car for a couple of times but not long cause of the bumpy road surface. Erk.

We came across quite a number of breathtaking landscapes. Ideal for photography enthusiats to snap some wonderful pictures. I was absolutely clueless on my whereabouts though. [i]Kampungs[/i] and coconut trees are everywhere. Very peaceful and untouched. Kids can be seen playing kits and cows roaming around. No pollutions cause there were hardly hardly any motor vehicles.

Anyway, we finally corssed the Kuala Terengganu border and went a little bit more further inside before reaching Marang at about 4:30pm. Angullia Beach Resort is a perfect place to chill out and find peacefulness. The wasn’t quite tempting though cause of the tide waves and filthy. Had dinner at the small town, which is like 20 minutes drive from the beach resorts. Apprently I was told that only 5% of the chinese population in Kuala Terengganu lives there.

However, it was breezing cold at night and the gazing stars were mesmerizing. I’ve never seen so many stars above the sky. It was so captivating. Felt more like we were on a vacation. Sat outside and chit-chatted before going back to the chalet since it was getting late already. The place was all dark and spooky. slept at about 11:30pm.
