I'm back from Penang. Nothing special ler.. Just like the previous trip. So I finally found some time to load up some of the pics from Cherating.. but then, I haven get SuKoh's pics yet..
Anyway.. I kinda lazy to elaborate much though.. Haha.. Can actually pick up some from the previous post on my postcards. Hehe.. Ok. Was there at this so-called cherating resort in Kuantan.. LisNaRee Resort, if I'm not mistaken. 3 days, 2 nights with the whole Architecture Dept. They called it the SAMS workshop. SAMS - School of Architecture, Management & Surveying... We're all there to test our first assignments.
-
Foundation - Sandcastle & Castaway shelter
Archi Deg - Floating Objects
Int. Archi Deg - Flying Objects

First.. just about to reach the resort, we stopped by Bukit Goh to have our lunch. Sigh.. I really wonder if we're actually having our lunch or the FLIES having us. It wasn't dirty but it was filled with flies... Serious shit. Totally tore my appetite away..
Checked in by 4.15pm FINALLY. But.. gotta meet up at 4.45pm by the lobby & heading to the beach to play some games.. sort of to break the ice. And I forgot about finding my 'kids' as what Diana told us before our bus rides as she handed us the list of our group members. We, as seniors (hahaha) had the priviledge to guide the foundations students with our icebreaker games & their sandcastle assignment later on the next day. -
What we played was not that bad. The first was that we have to remember everyone's name in like 10 minutes. Then if you can't, you gotta go over to the opponent's group. My group was against Iwan's. Then I lost la. Haha.. Then we teamed up & worked against Annie & Chloe's. And we've WON!! ahhaha... As you can get along, it was pretty HIGH.. hahaha.. The bonding between us & the juniors grew rapidly & it was a good thing. I didn't expect myself to have that much fun but.. everything was cool. But we did kinda doubt our own leadership 'skills' ahaha.. as what Chloe said later on. But it was okay. More like friends than demending dictator. Haha..
Redzwan. My design lecturer. Got the balloon with flour in it which he had to burst it on his head. Kelvin, SuKoh & a few juniors had their watergun ready to aim.. Hehe
1. Basheer.. Super contrasting between the flour & his face. ahhaa.. Lawrence, Sean's younger brother happily bombarding everyone with his flour face. Don't let him near the flour...!!~ It'll be flour snow..
2. The group of lecturers. (From left - Diana, Baizura, Redzwan, Zaiton, Kelvin) Sukoh & Teoh wasn't in this pic. Linlin absent from this trip. Seriously.. they're very pro in UNI, but somehow during this trip, everyone transformed. Haha. Kelvin was back to his jovial kind. Redzwan was the least expected mannnn... Rollin' on the sand with 2 waterguns, running around... playing frisbee.. hahah back to his youth period, I guess...

Ok. Cutting off the dinner session. Free time. Me, Farah & Phoenix was sharing a room. Then, Daryle came in with Chloe. We started chatting.. then TUNG came in.. We were talking about some personal girls matter & yet he was sleeping on our next bed, not sure whether was he eavesdropping or sleeping. Iwan was sleeping dy in his room. Then I kicked Tung out & we continue chatting. Haha.. Girls' Talk. It was nice. Bring us closer actually. Good, fun HilARous night-out.
-
On the same time, we were actually waiting for the clock to strike 12. Cos it was Iwan's 24th birthday. We talked till we were all speechless & tired.. we slept. Lucky Daryle & Tung woke us up. Planned him a surprise party. Wanted to throw him into the pool but his room was quite far. Ours was just in front of the pool. There was no cake around, so we fried 3 eggs & got a big free candle from the receptionist.
1.Haha. This big boy (kononlar almost cried.. when we bashed in).. He totally had no clue bout it. He was halfnaked, mending his kite for tomorrow when all of us just rushed in with the eggs & singing the bday song. He was so cute.. with his sound effects & all, he faster dressed up & sat there. Haha. Juniors, our class, the architecture friends were almost all there. He was kinda touched actually. 2. We took our class group photo. (Clockwise from iwan - Me, Tung, Farah, Chloe, Daryle & Phoenix) Annie went back to sleep, & Antish the one above was one of the juniors - intruder to our class pic.. hehe..
Next morning, helping the juniors to start off their sandcastle. We've got no idea on how to make a bloody simple square sandcastle & yet they're making us build castles with theme like.. Snow White castle, Shrek, Sleeping Beauty & so LUCKY my group - LORD OF THE RINGS!!!
I looked at the pic, Charlotte & Fanson showed me, I went gaga. WAhhHH.. so hard.. hehehe.. so detailed.. so BIG. Then again, 'Never try, never know'... We did.. and we're completed it just as Kelvin said - Times' up!!- I was quite happy, we did it.. but I was all burnt!!!! From 10am - 2pm, under the burning sun. Sunblock also wasn't helping much.. :`(
1. The front elevation. Haha. Main facade of our castle. Err.. obviously, we modified it a bit la.. Definitely we can't make the real one.. but the concept was still there.. We even had a mini pool where we threw some lil' crabs in it. 2. Suddenly, Kelvin came.. he was the co-ordinator for the juniors. Boo was putting the sunblock onto his backk... Aiyerr.. so gay.. but Kelvin is very fair la.. serious.. hahaha..
1. Presentation time.. Fanson was presenting our castle after lunch, everyone crowding to watch. I wasn't there cos I was busy preparing my kite to fly after their presentation. 2. The whole sandcastle.. but doesn't look much like the Lord of the Rings huh? Haha.. but our group WON the sandcastle-making competition...!!! so doesn't matter le.. ahhahahhaa..
Other castles.. Cannot remember which was which or belongs to whose group..
Then, the floating objects by Victor's class. Architecture. COol. They had to built a floating object, then the lecturer's gonna put flour on it.. to see which sink first. The red arrow pointed.. the FLOUR!! It belonged to Basheer's group. The 3rd pic.. TengWai's group. Who won? Basheer's!!! Can tahan up to 6kg of flour while TengWai's only till 4kg I think.
Our group photo with our KITES!!!! Look nice? Half of ours all can't fly.. HAHHAHahaha... Mine flew like awhile then crashed on the sand pretty badly.. The wind rhythm wasn't right. But I was super happy that at least it can fly up & rotate!!! Mine was a rotor kite!! hehehehe.. Iwan's couldn't fly. Annie's I'm not that sure.. Phoenix - nice design but couldn't fly. Farah's too.. Tung.. Pecah straight - his kite 'walked' not fly.. LOL.. Chloe - cannot also.. Daryle's?! WINNER!! Her prize was.... IKEA's stool.. ahhaha better than nothing la rite??
1. Daryle's kite.. Fly so high.. 2. Haha.. Iwan.. explaining the 'sunat' before & after during lunch.. ahhahaha.. back to sex education. I think Phoenix or Daryle brought the topic up.. Hehe..
Nice beach hangout after the whole tiring day!! At least the beach was clean.
Dinner. Prize-giving ceremony. We tied our lanterns up on trees (made by evening) & some float. Can see mine? The one behind. Haha.. can float.!!!! Blek~
Sleeping timee!!!!!!!!! After a late-mamak session, they lagi went for a swim in the pool, I was in my room, talking, watching tv & SMS-ing. Heheh.. Very tiredd.. Serious!!! Exhausted to the max!!
We stopped by the turtle's centre or whatever you called it. Nothing much to see le.. the process of turtles lay eggs till the hatchings.. we can get it from our textbooks. So nothing special le.. just for the first time of my life, I've seen the turtles LIVE.
Second stop.. Keropok lekor stall. Bought a few for my mom to fry. Haha.. Nothing much actually.. just a small stall. Then we were at the sourvenir shop.. Aiyerr.. Tipu money.. Nothing special yet cost like hell. And I was like wondering why are they selling 'Welcome to Redang' stuff when we're like in Kuantan?!?!? Hmmm....

Bus Ride home. Was peaceful till Iwan woke up from his sleep.. Hahah.. some crazy thing did happen.. He & his crazy ideas.. superbb!!! hilarous shits man..
me, farah & him behind..
Hahaha.. another of Iwan's funny prank.. no idea what Phoenix & Chloe were doing.. hahahha Errr.. they did NOT kiss at all..
1. Iwan & chloe. 2. Me & him.. Hahahha.. No worries.. none three of our lips touched!! We took a few shots to get the 'smooching' scenes correct.. Laughin our ass out behind man.. We were like.. "what if the bus suddenly braked??" It was quite bumpy cos we were like sitting way at the back of the bus...
These pics.. I'm speechless.. Overall.. the trip was FUN.. though now assignments were coing in like crazyyy.. The trip wasn't quite what I expected. I thought it was going to be like another high-school excursion or something.. Well, despite I get my sunburnt & dirty food.. it was like.. I got to make more friends, bringing our class bonds nearer.. to see some real colours.. enjoyed secrets shared.. Seriously, you can't judge a book by its cover.. It's so shocking to hear some 'personal' news deep within that totally opposite from the appearance.. hahahha
Anyway.. was good. Kelvin even printed up some pictures of WANTED CRIMINALS & posted on the dept. bulletin board.. those kids that threw flour at him & attacked him by the beach.. ehehhe..
*if u want more pics, those posted earlier sorta connected with my precious post on my design postcards*
Overall, well-enjoyed! Bringing my youth back.. Wahahaha..
