my fav photo of all..we all looked so cool from this angle. *heh*

got back from ophir already! yes...and i finally reached the summit. weather this time round was fantastic! it started rainning only on the last day when we reached the base.
this trek was tougher than i've expected. i've got a stupid burst blister at the base of my left foot and it's so stingy. i hope participants would never bring lousy footwear next time round. spare my foot! besides the foot, my thighs and calves are aching from the exhaustive trek.
the summit and view of ophir wasnt as spectacular as i've expected it to be. honestly, i'm quite disappoint. the primary goal of all trekkers is to get a beautiful and magnificant view at the summit or from the surrounding terrains. however, ophir wasnt that beautiful. using equity theory( some theory that i've learnt from mno), input > output= unsatisfied!
participants for ophir trek were good too! i knew half of them already. haha. some of them went berke with me b4. the new participants were very enthu too! in fact, most of them were zai. one group belonged to hc oac, zai man! another had trekked at berke before. so not much of help was needed. one of the participant was stung by a bee though. but clever me, the relative of bees remove the needle! hee.. 6 girls and 12 guys= loads of fun & laughter.

nevertheless, it really feels good to get out from the bustle of the city and bring yourself into the wilderness. stars at ophir were nice too, we had many cloudless days so stars were really visible. we saw turtle and many fishes too...chatted through the night, though not for a long time due to our tireness. this time round, we didnt gossiped and bitched much. no more traffic light games..instead we talked about more general stuff. about the government system, about singapore, about nus...everything under the stars. good to just crap and complain all night long..
tml is datuk trek, xl is sick and asking for a replacement. i really felt like gg but it's such a short notice! and with my stupid left foot, i doubt i can trek very quickly.
i'll be quite free next week..call me anytime wor!
anyway, for those who wanna look at stars in sg. the best place to see stars would be mandai zoo. i'm no kidding! i used to work there till wee hours and whenever i look above the skys, the stars are shining ever so brightly. the zoo dont have electric lamps, they only have fire torches. so there's minimal light pollution in the zoo. the night safari tries to dim all the lights in the surrounding too. yah..so if you're so bored and have nth better to do. why not cycle down to the zoo and look at the stars?
