a year of white rice: 2012-09-30

My new school mkis (aka mont kiara international school) has an annual trip called mst (malaysian studies trip) where every grade goes on vacation from school for a little while to just chill and bond with your classmates. this year the 10th grade went to Gopeng which is somewhere in malaysia 2 1/2 hours away from KL... dont ask me where. we stayed at a some random golf course resort but it was so gorgeous since we all had rooms with balconys over the lake. the first day we went through some cave thing that really wasnt that interesting and much to humid for my comfort.. but afterwards we got to jungle trekkk which would have actually been fun except there were leeches everywhere and i was compleatly terrified. leeches here are disgusting theyre not really harmful cuz all they do is suck out the "bad" blood from your system... but theyre pretty gross. most of us got at least 1 leech but thank god i did not. i was a little over careful i guess you could say. one thing about going into this jungle is that it was like a 30 minute truck ride from our busses, so we were all hauled into the back of trucks like animals and then driven through the jungle while random trees and branches hit our face. the branches hurt. alot. the 2nd day we went back to the activities place which was about a 30 minute bus ride from our resort and we split up into 2 groups for the day. one group went to white water rafting and another went to propelling down a waterfall and then the groups switched at lunch. that evening the teachers forced us to do "group activities" which was mainly just dancing and making a fool out of yourself. (see the video below) the 3rd day we headed home and once i got home i was so happy. i got my bed again and all of that beautiful food in the kitchen :D i love food.
