One for the Leeches Part 2

sli


Now that's a Leech bite if you guys don't know what it is. SOmehow, a Leech crawled up my Leech socks, crawled down on the inside, crawled up my long pants again just to bite me on my thigh. Puvin's pants were seriously soaked in blood. Aaron got invaded when FOUR leeches were crawling up his crotch together. The sight of that family crawling up Aaron's crotch sends panic to all the guys, and soon all of us were going to the toilet to take off our pants and search for any invaders. I found two more, but only one bite so far. Jonathan came out and informed us that "one guy sat between his nuts and sucked his coconut tree". PANIC MAN!! Keith said there was one case where the one leech crawled into the anus of some guy and bred there. The guy died and the doctors found an entire kampung of leeches in his intestines. That made my anus tickle all the time. The two PERHILITAN pros, Encik Jailani ( from Rengit! ) and Encik Mahsuri
came and chuckled at me. They pointed at my foot, then slowly pointed their finger up towards my crotch. "Pacat ni suka cari kawan". Bloody hell =.="

Anyway, those guys actually walk around the forest in barefoot. Bloody hell! We walk around, those wrapped up like dumplings with triple layer of insect repellent and baby oil get bitten, those wearing short pants got leeches in their crotch, and they walk around with short pants and slippers and not get bitten at all. Secret? Soap. PERHILITAN pros told me to use soap, those cake soap kinds. Because leeches can be killed by soda. And it prevents them from biting.

Aren't leeches cool? I kept three in a water bottle. Then observed them over some time. I found that, leeches don't like staying submerged in water. And I asked John, he said "Feed them two drops of your own blood every two weeks and they will be the happiest leeches ever".

Anyway, third day went by pretty fast. Trekked back to NERC, then went boat rafting! Miux was my captain, and Lily, Ju Vern and Kastoori and me took the other four. We got swept away by the tides immediately. Ju Eng immediately shot us a glare and said we were going the wrong way. Then she got swept in too xD We went ashore two three times because of the stupid tides. Then in the end, gave up and followed the tides. Captain Miux's raft started second last. There were 5 rafts. We soon got the hang of it, and overtook everyone except the lead raft xD Damn cool lar! All the others were slow pokes :P

Then interviewed the Jakun people, whose crops were being consumed and destroyed by our elephants. Pity them actually, but they too love elephants. They said 'sayang nak bunuh'. Ain't they great?

Spent the night preparing our presentation and all.

Day four, we started our journey to Lanchang at 6.32am. Reached there at 4.30pm something. Apparently, the bus broke down 12km away from our destination. Bloody Hell..

Briefing by the people in the Pusat Kepelbagaian Biology there. John and Mei Chin were elected as 'Cikgu' and Aaron was elected as "Tuk Penghulu" followed by Keith, the "Tuk Batin".


The picture shows Tuk Penghulu and his first wife, Mei Chin. xD Damn funny lar, he was said to have four wives I think. We all have to pay respects to him, and only eat after he has began eating. Got him so pissed off xD

Alright, then at night, Ju Eng wanted us to prepare a dessert for humans using food that elephants eat. I never knew Elephants ate chocolate spread and condensed milk though. So, my group, we divided the team. Wen Qing and Meera and Puvin would get to work on the presentation, while Shalini, Kastoori and me will prepare the dessert.Picture, that's Shalini on the left, Kastoori on the right, and the master chef *beams* in the middle.This is our dessert. Master Chef took watermelon. Master Chef sliced it into half. Master Chef emptied all the flesh, leaving a smooth, flawless empty watermelon skin. Then the other two chefs poured in the agar-agar that has not solidified. Then, Kastoori sliced up all the watermelon flesh into cubes, and sliced the jambooooo into thin strips. We dunked everything in as seen above. Then Master Chef added the Nata de coco, which sunk immediately. So, we left it in the fridge! Short and simple :)Picture above shows Master Chef carrying a plate of pancakes. Those pancakes were made by Ju Eng ( OMGWTF Ju Eng made pancakes!! ). Everyone were forced to eat xD That's Phui Yee right behind, and Lily in the far left. Because I brought pancakes for everyone ( Tuk Penghulu grabbed the first and started eating first ) they liked Master Chef.Picture showing Puvin and Master Chef. See?? Everyone loves Master Chef. Because he brings goodies. Until when the pancakes were actually outnumbering the people eating them 3 to 1, then Ju Eng had to force everyone to eat. Small wonder we all gain weight. Ju Eng rocks!

Had to rush everything for the presentation and performance. My group Dumbo sang the Elephant version of "Where is The Love". And we all stayed up until 3.30am just to finish it. BUt it was all worth it ;)

Day 5
Rose up bright and early. Initially wanted to wake up at 6am. But in the end everyone woke at 7 lol. My handphone didn't sound the alarm, maybe i switched it off when it started vibrating. Heh, anyway, almost late.

Went off to Kuala Gandah. Met the elephants there and fed them BREAD. Picture shows Master Chef on the left side, and Christopher on the right. Even the Elephants love Master Chef. Master Chef is just so handsome and loveable. Anyway, that elephant was the oldest among the few there, approximately 24 years old. Their trunks feel like... you know.. the bolster you hug so tightly when you sleep. So huggable lar xDPicture shows Master Chef delivering Elephant food to the hungry Elephants. Ju Vern was scraping them off the wheelbarrow. Its basically something like Elephant cereal, looks like small sillinders. Made of mostly fibre ( which explains ELephant shit is all fibre. Can use their dung to make paper I heard ) , with added vitamins. See? Everyone loves Master Chef! The Elephant was looking at Master Chef with utmost adoration in its eyes xD

In the end, had to clean up and give our performance to the VIPs. After that, was the official ceremony to adopt our baby elephant, Siput @ Embun! Only 7 months old. FREAKING CUTE ( like me ) lar wei!!Something in that baby makes me want to call out like Ju Eng ( Sippooootttttt!!!! ) It ran towards the crowd of Elefriends, and made two.. erm.. whaddayacallit? Foot prints? One in yellow and one in red. Damn cute lar wei. Then it shitted. No smell! :DWent back to Lanchang, had lunch, packed and went off to UTAR. We went our separate ways again, but all of us knew, once our paths had crossed, it shall remain in our memory forever.

It was well worth it sacrificing one week of brain rotting activities to spend a week in the forest and with them Elephants. You know right, I feel everyone should join BRATs lar! Wait, everyone who is not like You-Know-Who. Everyone should be nice like me :) And every nice people like me should join BRATs. Are you like me? :)

Extra Quotes and Memorable stuff :
1. Chris can use the force. When we were trekking the woods, each time he said "Ju Vern!" and Ju Vern would fall down within the next 2 minutes.
2. "We are behind schedule" - John Kam and Ju Eng. All the time they say that :)
3. Jonathan Ng the Thick Skin and Dickson the Tick Tsin.
4. This one is by me during Ice breaking "Call me anything you want, BUT never call me LES"
5. This one is by me to Dickson "You call me Les again I will start calling you DICK!"
6. LEECH!
7. Hui Yan - YOU LIAR!!!
