eels, sweat, mud, bamboo, and coconuts..Result = Soreness of Limbs

hola amigos, i wanted to post sooner...like yesterday for instance, but hey..i just got back from a fun but insane and f-ing tiring day so what the heck right? right now, im living by the name in this site...MaxPain...why? because im in pain...and soreness...seriously..i could barely move without limping...and wincing from my aching developing muscles ( heeesh i sound overrated)

anyways..all i wanted to tell you guys this time is about my trip to melaka for the last two days with my loco amigos from school....i have to say we didn't really do anything much but damn did we had a good...no good is an understatement...we had an amazing-spectaculawsome time there...since its a kind of a long story, i might as well just cut it short.

on the first day after being crazy in the bus, stashing our luggage in our rooms in a small dormitory at the Homestay facility (which it's name escapes me) we had lunch and went to a paddy field...just beside the border between Melaka and Johor...separated by a river...there was a clearing and it was wet due to the rain...(monsoon season...what can you possibly expect)

there, we just played some cool traditional games...the best part was when my friend sofiya jumped into some kinda mote...well, lets just say everyone was freaking out and laughing their ass off at the same time XD...then after being muddy and wet we went walking around the paddy field...and went loco there too...i mean, c'mon we were all city girls...we don't walk at the paddy field often in our lives...and after that is over we went back, gotten ready and went to the night cruise which was what i've experienced before so lets skip that...

we all slept late that night and woke up very early ( hey 6am is still too early for the night angel) we had a explore race activity that morning...that's where the title of this post came from...ok this one is LONG...i'll just explain in shorts...our first check point, we played with eels...which for me was AWSOME...coz i was thinking of sushi and the eel was so CUTE! second check point, was loading a long bamboo with dozens of holes with water (it's harder than it seems) after getting our faces with mud, we went to the next check point which is mostly filling pails with water by holding the ends of ropes...hard to explain, moving on...check point 4 was just collecting rubber from the rubber tree which made our hands seriously puke-smelling...and then we cracked a coconut without using anything but slamming it to a concrete base with brute force...it took us half and hour to do it but we did it...that was mission impossible right there...

me and my best loco buds were last team to finish everything but we all enjoyed them all even if we were covered in blood (that's mostly me, i hurt my elbow), sweat and mud...after a congratulations from the guy that handled us all, we went back and got ready to go home...we got out showers we went to eat some lunch...here's the cool part...after i ate (vigorously) i jammed with another guy that we call 'abang sedih/ceria/whistle' who turned out to be an amazing guitarist, he's at least 30 something years old...i played clarissa while he played his guitar...he's soo good and im actually missing him right now...he's soo cool and i admire him...to bad it was just a few minutes when i had to go...man was i disappointed when i stopped playing with him...then, i just thought maybe i could see him again one day..soon enough...after that we went to the bus and were on our way back to the concrete jungle...

all in all...i am f-ing sore right now but always thinking of the great time i had...i wished to go there again next year..and hopefully i will...that's all for now...but i'll be back again with my stories...PEACE OUT!

ps: i have pictures...but i haven't uploaded it yet...i will post it afterwards...till then...
