listen to the rhythm of nature;

so it wasn't as I had always imagined;
all of us squeezed into the back of an old but warm truck,
bopping to the music playing of a familiar song,
laughing our minds out while the wind gently brushed across our faces,
making ourselves silly while we stole random shots of one another.

but we made it for a road trip, and it was good. (:

All 20 of us got ourselves into 4 cars -instead of an old truck- and left for the jungle after breakfast. It was to be a waterfall, but it was more like a flowing stream when we arrived. The journey there was a little nerve-wrecking, a little worrying and of course we were constantly proclaiming sentences like 'I can't see them.' , 'Where is he?' , 'Why is he going so fast?' , 'Faster give them a call.' , 'Ask them where are they.' and 'Do you see them now?'. And we concluded that either we bought every car a flag, use walkie-talkie the next time or make sure the leading car was in a color even a blind man can see. But no doubt, we had the fun side of road trips journey. When we came across a particular spot along the high way near Genting, our memory couldn't help but brought back memories of one particular year when something 'significant' happened by the roadside.

When we finally got ourselves to Lentang -it sounds so much like kentang, which is making me hungry now-, the place was already filled with so many people. Mostly families, unlike us. But we're a family too, right? :) Settled down and we let the fun begin! No point going into details now but it was really nice to get back to nature after the exams I had just sat the night before. Yes, the night before. We had fun, went down and went up the stream, sat against the current, fell down, pulled a muscle, got stared at -maybe because we were behaving like we've never been to a stream before and therefore we were acting like monkeys-, splashed water at each other, pictures taken and so much more. But to me, the most memorable thing we all did was sit around a few big rocks and just enjoy each other's company and of course, the cold flowing water, the shady trees and the rays of sunlight that broke in between the gaps of the shady trees.

Too bad my date wasn't there. Right, joel? :(
