HAPPY NEW YEAR SEC 4/3!

Yo there to my Sec 4/3 mates! And.... before I forget...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Came back about a week ago from Brunei bruised and battered, but still intact...... well almost... But I definitely learnt a lot.... ooooh.... definitely. I don't know how many of you all are interested to know about my experiences... but hey... I'm going to tell anyway! LOL!

There was especially one part of the memorable land expedition through the jungles of Temburong where you begin to realize what comes up... must come DOWN. And hence after the looonnggg hike up the top of a certain steep hill with a 10-kg backpack strapped to your shoulders, you come to realize that you have to start going down. Usually this part is not so bad, but then you realize it's very slippery and it's steep.

So what happens? Of course you take small steps gingerly, trying to get a grip on your shoes and... for me.... on myself.. (Get a GRIP on yourself Aidah! The worst that can happen is that you SLIDE all the way down. C'mon... start WALKING!)

Of course, I lost my grip. And slid. Felt like Fantasy Island. The fact that the river was not that far off perhaps fuelled my imagination also. But stupid me in trying to slow down my...descent down the hill...... (ok ok more like a tumble down the hill).... grabbed the nearest plant... a very thorny plant. First let me just say, thank god for the gloves that protected my palm from the au natural accupuncture I got. But it's those type of gloves with exposed fingers, so needless to say the fingers on my left hand... were accupunctur-ed.... though I think destroyed is more apt...

Well... the holes on the fingers are still there.... but hey at least I managed to regain some sort of sensation on the fingertips. LOL. Below is the picture of my group.... just BEFORE the land expedition.

Other than that, there were more interesting highlights like the whitewater rafting down the river and trying to break down the language barriers with our Bruneian (Their Malay is very different. Serious!) counterparts.

Anyway I apologize for the lack of messages here. There's a reason! Really. When I finally went online, I realized that my image web account (darn that Strike9!) was shut down and I lost the images that was stored there. Hence the many missing images in my past messages. And Audrey's pics. Not to mention the banners for this messageboard also. So I decided to create new ones and store them in another account. Hope you all like it! Especially the one with the fork.

I hope to see more messages from everyone. Other people. Not myself. I mean don't you all get sick of seeing MY ridiculously LONG messages ALL THE TIME?

Here's to hoping that 2004 will bring in more classmates to the Sec 4/3 Online Kampong!
