waaa...it's 4 in da morning and i still haven't sleep.likewise, i got test this evening at 3 pm... damn...haven't study enough. But my head keeps telling me to waste my time writing this crap, again. i was thinking of doing this after i finish my test, but i guess i couldn't sleep right now. too many things is inside my head.
Ok, what do i want to say today? o yes. about my fieldtrip. last 2 weeks we went to Kpg Baru, Ayer Tawar, Perak (geez....why do i have to specified the name??) for our geomatics fieldwork. We have been given a task to conduct a detailed survey at a certain area. well i can't explain much, though. Detail Survey is usually done before people want to build something on that area. We started our small 'journey' from utp at 3pm and it only took less than a hour to reach there. The place was situated near a river (i'm not sure of this. some people call it a river, but from what i saw it doesn't look like it). It had an environment of a village, and the surroundings were really peaceful.
We were staying at a motel (well, i wouldn't call it a motel, i'll show u the picture and u'll understand.) what i can tell u about the room is, it's very hot during the day and very cold during the night. Plus, there's a lot of mosquitoes flying around at night!!! i mean, what kind of motel is this???
this is the room where we stayed. one room can fit 40+ people. so much for a motel....
OK...i can still tolerate with that. Because i couldn't stand the heat, i decided to go outside. But before that, i went to make a tour to the toilet and the bathroom. WARNING: what u are about to see may inflict a damage to ur head and ur soul:
this is the bathroom. how to bath?simple. use 'gayong' to take the water from the blue bucket and wash ur body...
old school bebeh!!!!no flush, no water pipe. how to wash ur......??simple, get a bucket of water, then...err...u can use ur own imagination....
See enough? pray that u guys will never meet this kind of toilet. well, at least the bathroom is ok. reminds me of my village long time ago(i mean, very2 long time ago..). But the toilet!!! i mean, what kind of toilet that doesn't have a flush, or even a water pipe??? It's like a toilet during the old days, accept that there is no need for a 'pencacai najis' to come and collect ur $#!T. wow....the government's campaign of 'Tandas Bersih' really didn't reach this place.
Enough with the 1 star accommodation...our work start on the Friday evening. We were asked to measure and sketch the area that we supposed to survey. Then the next morning, we conducted our detail survey to complete our sketch and produce a map using a computer. Well, during the surveying, i was sweating a lot. it was very hot that morning, and i also got a few surnburns. My friends laugh at me when i come back and said, "Keling mane ni???" When i hear that i started to think about my future...If this the thing that i will do when i become an engineer, i rather find another job.
Civil engineers at work! i was the person who hold the theodolite(the yellow thing). see my skin turn into dark....
under my order, the girls also have to learn how to use the theodolite.u won't often see females doing this kind of job...huahhahahaha....
After finishing our survey, i took a nap because i was too tired from not enough sleeping yesterday. in the evening, me and my friends walked around the village and took some pictures. Despite the accomodation, the scenery was great, especially during the evening. the breeze was refreshing, and the sound of children's playing around really brought a 'kampung' feel to me.
i like this picture. the view is nice....
At night, we were preparing our presentation for tomorrow. After the presentation, it's time to go home. For me, this trip is worse than my previous trip, but it's not that bad actually. i really have learnt a lot in this trip. well, goodbye Kampung Baru. Hope not to see u again.hehhehehehe....
