How apt



You get the joke right?
Wah just came back from Pulau Hantu sailing expedition held from 2-3 September. The wind was so light we were all drifting backwards from our destination, and we all had to be towed by the power boats.

The path we took


Luckily it was pretty fun at Hantu. Played some games like the giant twister and the one where you form a line in the water and to pass your teammate through the line. Field cooking was bad though. Was totally chaotic and I think I had luncheon meat for the majority of that dinner.

Then comes the cool part. I slept in the laser pico!!! It wasn't that comfortable but was cool anyway. The wind was so strong the sail was flapping damn noisily, and that probably explained why I couldn't manage to get much sleep (think the squeaking mouse helped with that too). Then there was something that kept on stinging my leg. I just brushed it off, thinking that it was the salt because I didn't wash myself properly. It was when morning came that i realized that the stinging sensations were from the ants that found their ways onto the boat!!! Heres some pictures taken on the island (with my cool 6230 VGA camera nonetheless)

Morning







Attempted to sleep here, but was afraid would roll down into the water

The jetty



I slept on the left one

The lagoon

Bed (slept at the right side)




Luckily I went for the trip. I was quite hesitant to wake up on saturday morning, super tired because got work on friday.

And the trip back I got to sail a laser!!! But I was towed for the majority of the trip. At the last part got to do light wind sailing though.

Although the trip wasn't really SUPER fun, it was very memorable i guess. Count me in for the next expedition!!!
