Escape to Brinchang

okay better type it all out before it gets lost somewhere in my head.

this camping trip was, sorta a success?

we planed one day before it =P what to eat, who to bring what gear, etc..
it was a a two day one night camp at the radio tower on the peak of Brinchang, Cameron Highlands,

no water supply up there, not really any place to pitch a tent.

so when we were driving up there we hit a pothole and the front left tire punctured,
Sam's new axia car.. owh boy...

we hiked up to the peak it.. gosh.. my brain... i cant really know how to write stuff anymore.

it was cold, freaking cold. down feather jackets do wonders.
the mist, cleared up and we had a nice view of the stars. so nice how justin and hoong ern could talk about the pleiades star cluster and torus ect.. they even knew which was venus.. crazy..

jusin and sam shared photography in common, both Canon users.. so funny how Sam said "We could be friends" after knowing which brand Justin uses.. haha

i really want to get myself one of those hennessy hammocks .. they really do wonders, all wrapped up in the snake skin is a dual layer sleeping base, mosquito netting and flysheet..

we could start up any fire there.. no wood.
and we had to redo the "Modern" dome tent like 3 times... learnt the saying

"Fast is slow, slow is smooth, smooth is fast" from sam. cool.. next time i should do things properly all the way from the start instead of trying to rush things through.

carried 4 X 1.5L bottles up btw! =D along with the tent.. and extra junk. gosh... thank you God that my knees didn't pop or give way..

Flipper flip flops do the trick too.

also brought up an inflatable pillow, i think it was some thing nice to use. "Manasalu" brand.. some cheap china rip off i guess. i didn't sleep on it.

because of the mist at night we also played making stupid zombie videos..
man... this is what happens when there are spot lights.

the stars were sooo beautiful!

we also played monopoly deal in the tent after dinner of pasta and mushroom soup chicken. gosh, so much so so so much to eat. also celebrated Sam's birthday up there with a swiss roll that looked like panda.

i forgot where i placed my socks in the car, so i didnt bring it up, but the green sleeping bag did save my life lah..

we camped so near the radio tower.. we had.. full signal..

anways, woke up in the middle of the night to take a piss, gosh.. so cold..
the mist came back.. i prayed that it wouldn't rain..

the sunrise the next day was.. something nice to look at... climbed up the watch tower.. so... freaking cold because of wind chill i was shivering..

we packed up, hammocks go down so fast. the modern tent took longer, cleared up the area... finally dont have to carry down so much water anymore..

took the road down, 11KM walk back to the car..

i have no pictures from GPS maps as i rarely used the garmine =( gosh, i dont really know how to use it..

the trip back down.. we... talked .. just like how friends would =)

friends stick together. learnt alot from this camp... cant remember much.. but yeah. want to experience more things in life, but so little time. want to write down more taught but .. lazy
