Trip to Hulu Langat

25th August (Friday)

Happy Birthday, KELLY~!~!

…… Went to Hulu Langat with 32 coursemates.. When we just arrived at the entrance of Impian Country Resort, it looks ok.. Who knows when we were asked to eat at the Astaka, it was like “Oh No!! I have to eat this disgusting food for 3 days?!?!” So i didn’t eat the tea time.. Then, some of us went to check in our Dorm.. All the girls lived in Dorm A.. We opened the door and saw many double deckers.. Just like what Peng Jie told me on last Wednesday nite.. Not shock at all.. After we found our ideal beds, we dropped all our things there and started to explore the room and toilets.. We couldn’t find a single plug in the room to charge our handphones.. Then the toilet, it looks so terrible and horrible.. We saw a pool of water.. It was dark and couldn’t see anything.. After spending some time looking at the pond, we realized that the water level was so so high.. OMG!! It looked extremely dirty.. But all the sand dee sinked, so that’s the cleanest water u can find in whole Impian Country Resort i guess..

Around 12:15pm, we were asked to start our field work. Actually, Group 1 supposed 2 do the Rocks and Group 2 do Flora.. Since there was some problem with the bus (according to lecturer, the bus driver couldn’t start the engine), we combined our first session field work with Group 1.. The forest is quite nice actually, as there’s a river there (u know lar, i love water so much).. We were measuring all those trees of more than 5cm Diameter ** (forgotten dee.. hehe..) It was lunch time at ’bout 2:00pm as all of us were starving for hungriness including En. Daman & he was the one who said dunno whether if he was the only one who was so so so hungry.. haha.. Then only i felt that i was hungry too.. We quickly finished the measuring part in our plot and we measured only 7 trees.. We ignored the rest but who knows the people (assistant of En. Daman i think) wanted us to measure all trees with more than 5cm DBH (not sure with this abbreviation) When we were out of the forest, it was dee around 2:30pm to 3:00pm. The lunch was nice, i meant FOOD!! At least it was not as terrible as in KIY.. KIY cafe likes to put lotsa salt, as if salt is cheap.. After lunch most of us went to sleep.. That was the time Ling Phang got to know she was bitten by leeches coz she bleeds non stop.. It was reaining heavily this afternoon so we were worrying for the next day field work.. Received call from one of my direct seniors, asked me & Choy Shin to be careful in the forest and told me her experience.. She’s a really caring senior..

At nite, we went to the Dewan not far from our Dorm.. for safety in forest talk by XXX.. (dunno his name).. And during the talk, a flying cockroach first landed on Hsiao Wei’s back.. Prof Maimun grabbed my note book 2 sweep away the cockroach then it landed on my track suit.. Oh No!! It scared me!! I hate cockroach.. After talk, went back to dorm and slept~

The whether was so nice.. My group did Aquatic this morning while the other did Fauna.. We went to the river in the forest to do our session 3 field work.. Dr Shuhaimi and his 2 assistants were first asked those who had equipments to go down the river but then we all ignored their instructions and went down 2 play water.. It was so slippery and could feel the sand was sharp.. Many of us nearly fell into the water while doing field work whereas Kelly & Ling Phang were wet coz fell into water.. Playing water was so so so FUN!!

Did Invertebrate this time.. Went into forest, not really far actually.. but invertebrate part was still ok.. It made me so worried when Choy Shin caught a leech on her ankle.. Played with the altimeter & hoped to go out of the forest as soon as possible.. No mood at all.. Yi Xi was “destroying” the forest.. So funny.. Every place he passed was destroyed.. 凡走过必留下痕迹.. *wakakakaka* After came out of the forest, we saw a yellow butterfly.. It last landed on my cap before it was caught by someone.. Also landed on See Mua & Choy Shin if not mistaken.. Dunno Yi Xi or who else came out with 1 theory, butterflies love girls only.. *muahahahaha* He is a really funny guy..

Went into forest again for Fauna field work.. Traps were installed by lecturers and assistants.. We got squirrel, baby mouse, bat and kingfisher.. I love the squirrel so much although FST’s squirrels are more beautiful.. After the xxx (dunno assistant ot lecturer) “bius” the squirrel 2 take measurement of his body, i took the squirrel to take pic with him (it’s a male 1).. The baby mouse was so pity coz not much ppl care for him (also a male 1).. too bad.. weehehehehehe..
–
Played water in the river in front of our dorm.. Actually i dun wanna make my shirt and pants wet, just wanna take pic but Ia Lun splashed water on me when i wanted to go up.. So i also joined them playing water.. We were all wet and not allowed to enter our dorm.. At last, i slipped into dorm too.. Due to no empty toilet, Ling Phang, Choy Shin, Chia Yi and I bathed together using the water in the pond..

No longer going into forest today.. It was the mapping part.. With En. Awang (if not mistaken) & Dr. Ramlan.. It’s quite complicated as Hazani & I forgot to measure the escarpment using klinometer.. It rained while we half way doing mapping, my note book was wet.. Confusing at times.. Running from point to point was quite fun..
