poor blog, being abandoned by the lazy owner for so long...more than a mth! i cant believe i was so lazy..but pls forgive me..this blog is gonna b extremely long...
well, was having finals on in the mid of Nov and ended on the 19th of Nov. Immediately after the paper, i rushed to the shopping mall to get some groceries while my friends collect the car from the city and all of us meet up on the next morning,4 am and leave for north..
It's a road trip for about 7 days, going up north, which is like a desert, but i believe that it is gonna be a very wonderful trip as i am looking forward to it. I worked part time througout the whole semester and managed to earn some money and sponsor myself for this trip. I felt so proud of myself!
after driving for hours on the sealed road, we went into the unsealed road and half way through, we came to this area which is called the POISON AREA. our planner(who holds the GPS) noticed that he set the wrong settings, if we go through it, we could reach very fast,but thinking of POISON AREA, we are not dare to take the risk, so we turned back and now, we have to go through the unsealed road for another few kilometres. Unsealed road means it's not TAR road, it is covered by brown sands and little stones. luckily we were not driving our own car, or else, all of us will just stop and cry. we managed to stop by and get some pics of it.
we went to many places and also had lots of great time together. Visited some beautiful places but what i love the most is stil the sea..the very blue and clear sea...which gives me a very comfortable feeling. During the trip at monkey mia, it was my first time approaching DOLPHINS. I went to the beach with my friends early in the morning for a walk, after that, we sat on the jetty and enjoy the view and fresh air, all of a sudden, we saw the dolphins swimming over, from far away, we only managed to see the fins, and we thought that those are sharks..lolz..i immediately ran over and look at them closely, they are wild dolphins, i was afraid that they might bite me but i felt so fun petting them..i wasnt holding my camera, so all my friend's camera have ME in it..hahaha,they kept complaining that they have taken thousand over pics of me with lovely dolphins. sorry guys, i was too excited and happy at that moment.
The other excitement was during the bike trecking. this was the most fun and unforgetable experience in my life. i shared a bike with a friend. At first i was still fighting to ride the bike and she sits behind me as we were not allowed to switch drivers, but later, i gave up, looking at the big bike, 2 hours of trecking non-stop, i let her do it. smart choice! in the end, she was tired like shit and embarrased herself so much during the whole journey while i managed to enjoy the view and use less energy. But what threathened me was the way she drives,my LIFE WAS IN DANGER during that time.
Let me share my experience with all my readers, for twice, i nearly fall off from the bike, my driver couldnt control the bike and she drove up to those bushes or high sands and she left the bike, just jumped away while i was still sitting behind and i cant fly anywhr..lolz..we were demanded to ride up to a very high sand(something like sandboarding), and that was really a scary one! the first time, we managed to do it, we were so proud of ourselves, but during the second time, we failed, we were stucked on half way(imagine yourself stucked on half of the hill), it's all sand...we cant climb up like rock climbing, that was a tough one! and it was a scary one too!!! i cant believe if the bike is unstable..touch wood!thanks GOD nothing happen to anyone of us, and we had lots of fun!
During the trip, we slept at backpackers, motels, hotel...wow! spent alot on accomodations. staying over at backpackers was really a great exposure. The tape water at monkey mia was the same as the sea water, we hardly bath nor brush our teeth with the 'sea water'..on that night, we were trying to do camp fire along the beach but due to the cold cold cold weather, half of them went to bed early and the other half of us spent our time chit chatting.
Another best accomodation was on Exmouth, our 5 star HOTEL i assume.. We make use of every single furniture, equipment, spa that we were given on that night. Unfortunately, the spa was spoiled by a friend and our 'house' was flooded. Me and another friend prepare for dinner, while Sam set up the dining table at the balcony. It was really cool. Looking at the set up, looks like we are gonna enjoy steak. but we were actually cooking maggi goreng, can soup and also some fruit juice and beers...but dun worry, whatever we eat doesnt matter, all we were looking for in this trip is the fun and happiness! That night was an unforgetable night too.
Snorkelling wasnt excited for me. But what i love during the snorkelling was swimming in the sea without a life jacket. due to lack of life jackets, i took the risk of swimming with a stick(cant rmb what it's called), and also swimming while holding the string! On the day of snorkelling, the sun was shinning and weather was really hot, but the sea water was extremely cold! none of us cold stand it. all freezing after getting out of the sea and it took me quite some time to adapt to the temperature of the sea before i could start my SWIMMING. haha...but it was so fun...
On the sixth day of our trip, we went and look at the sea horses at Kalbarri. Not really interested on this. Lolz. I am afraid that my nightmare begins from here. After seahorse, we moved to the National Park. This is one of the tourist centre where it is called a Z-Bend and it's a big stone with a big hole, through the big hole, we can see the whole scenary of the sea..it's so amazing. But unfortunaltely, before we arrive the place, i met with a car accident.
We were on the unsealed road, and all of a sudden, the car went out of control and turned left and right and bang on bushes and turned over. After a week of the accident, i still cant believe that this accident happened on me. Everyday the scene keeps playing in my mind. thannks GOD i wasnt the driver and i was protected by the seat belt and didnt fly out of car. Glasses broken and cut my hands and legs. HAd few bruises on my body and suffering a pain on my right foot now. Head was knocked towards the frame of the window but nothin serious. I am still conscious at the moment and calm. I managed to climbed out of the car and collect my bag and important documents and sent to the hospital by my friend. There were no signal and we couldnt call for ambulance. Luckily our car was the second car, the third car passed by and save our lifes. The first car has gone far away.
Thanks GOD from protecting me. I am grateful that i am still alive and no broken bones or touch wood,anything serious happen to anyone of us. Sorry dad and mom, i cant tell you that this serious accident happened to me during that moment as i could see how nervous and sad all of you will be. Sorry sl, km, yc, i know you guys were wondering where the hell i have gone and lost contact with you guys but i just cant tell you that i am not happy during that time. I dun want to share this bad news with you guys now as i dont want all of you to worry. I am sorry
Since then,i have decided to go home. After settling all stuffs here, i told mommy that i want to go home and booked my flight. I have lost all my hard earn money during this trip. But i will nvr regret. cos i rather lost money than my life. I wanna go home now as i felt unsafe here. I felt lonely here. i wanna be with my family. If that accident takes away my life, i will nvr have the chance to see my family. Since holidays are here, why not i go home? i can always earn back the money in future. but i will nvr earn back the time that i have lost. So mom and dad, pls forgive me. I know you guys are worried of me coming back home as the security in msia is not as safe as those olden days, but at least we get to spend some time together. to all my friends out there, pls dun blame me for lying to all of you. i planned to suprise you but i am not sure whether it works anot. cos i dun have the mood to give any suprises but i still wish to do so :)
