trip to PD

well, i survived surgery posting. not sure if we passed the end posting exams but we definately dont need to repeat it. thank god for that. so me and three other 'survivors' decided to reward ourselves with a one night holiday camping trip to tanjung tuan (cape rachado) off port dickson. been planning it for two weeks. its the only thing that kept us going thru surgery posting.

first stop was the light house at tanjung tuan which is situated on a hill. apparently you can only walk around the light house and not into it. so when i walked into the light house building i was greeted rudely by an untidy dirty looking construction guy. "Apa buat di sini!!! keluar!! keluar!!" was shooed off without an explanation. bastard!! hope he falls off the cliff.

next stop: camping site at tanjung tuan beach which is a lagooon. the shore is around 700m from the tip of the cape where the light house stood. there was not much camping site cause of the high tide and short shore line. we finally found a good spot and set up our tent.

before we knew it, this big malay family planted their arsses just 2meters from out tent. bloody noisy. and the children are not toilet trained. morons were peeing on the beached just like tat. and before we knew it, a group of mat rempit set up a tent 2m away own our right. kurang ajar betul man. we were here an hour before them and these assess just conveniently intruded into our space. cant camp other place isit!!!?? nabe!!! we tried to indirectly chased them away by announcing loudly that we had beers and pork with us. but it didnt work. babi betul.

resigned to the fact that our hope of a quiet and peaceful night out is gone, we took out our iced chilled heineken beers and drank it while watching the sunset. fucking great feeling man. for a brief moment, all your problems vanished. its only you, your ice cold heineken and god's gift of beauty to mankind.

as night approached, we started a fire and we soon we were cooking. rice was the first thing we cooked. am proud to say, our camping and cooking skills have not diminish. the rice we cooked over the coal was superb. not a single overcooked rice. next we started cooking curry chicken, chicken kurma, chicken vindaloo, lettuce, fried eggs and of course the main dish- STEWED PORK. oh mama.

tried our hands at fishing. it was bad. not a single bite!!! should have brought the dynamite.

at around 1am, it was low tide. because its a lagoon, during low tide, you can walk out up to 700meters from the shore. there were many people with torch light walking around catching crabs and prawns. we had a go at it and were more succesful than the conventional fishing. arm with only a small torch and a digital camera we started off with our new found adventure. not bad. caught a few crabs. it was hillarious. when the crab started running, we also started running-sideways. once when i was about to squat down to catch the buggar, i accidentaly farted. well, you would think it would slow down the crab, but it actually ran faster.

we actually managed to find a sea cucumber to. disgusting looking thing. but we chinese think its a delicacy. we eat bout every damm thing that moves.

sleep was not to good. our campsite was under a tree. i slept out in the open on a mat. half the mat was taken up by our utensils while i took up the other half. as i was about to sleep, things started to dropped from above. it was fucking guano!!! was to tired and lazy to moved the mat around. besides, there was not much place to move about as well. so the whole night had to endure the bloody bat droppings.


this is how a sleep deprived guano-fied face look like.

hell, cant wait for my next trip there again.
