Trips Galore ..

In the past week or two, I had been on two trips - one for the librarians and the next being the PBSM Camp. The librarian's trip was to the Tenmoku Pottery factory near Batu Caves and the Beryl's Chocolate Factory. The trip was one of the boring-est ones. The other two was so much better. The good thing was i won some small cup thing from some quiz in the pottery factory. When it came to the gift shop part there was a section for all rejected pottery. Nearly all of us crowded there making us look like a bunch of hardcore poor refugee jakuns.. haha.

Most of us would have looked forward to an exciting tour of the chocolate factory but this was not the case since we only had a 10 minutes look inside the factory (it was generally small) and wasted an hour sampling n buyin chocolates. Their chocolates weren't that bad but anyone would have to agree that hershey's and ferrero rocher would have tasted so much better. One interesting fact I found out was that they exported chocolates to other countries for those countries to sell to tourists. They made kangaroo shaped ones for aussie, so imagine yourself bringing back home chocolates from australia assuming its from there.

Next was the rather dreadful PBSM Camp in Dusun Eco Resort, Bentong. It was a first time camping experience for me but it wasn't that bad. I have to complain of course that sleeping in one is just freaking hot. Its not that bad at nite but it is bad in the day. That nite, it started raining and bcoz of some of the girl's tents which were flooded, we all moved to the hall thing. Another new thing for many but not for me was the communal bathing (first time was in japan). I was lucky however to be spared from watching ho sek yun bathe naked as some did. God .. it kills.

We all slept in dorms the second night so there was not that much of complain. The activities were generally fun like the jungle trekking although dangerous n water sports although challenging. I would also mention that i bravely crossed the dangling bridge thing, It was so cool and fun. Love it.. So, overall i would give the PBSM Camp a rating of 7 out of 10. Hope next year's one will be better. I will leave you all with some pics.

I shall leave you all lastly with a strange sign in the wrong places. This was found in every cubicle in the boy's toilet. I wonder whether these signs were also put up in the girl's toilet's. In case you people can't see it, it says - " Jangan buang tuala wanita dalam tandas". Some vandals eventually conteng-ed kondom on it. Sad..
