Fatiguee

For the ~~only~~ first time in 3 years of my undergraduate studies, we got out of school!

It's the first time that a lesson was held somewhere other than within the confines of our fully air-conditioned school building. Finally, a breather of fresh air in the middle of the tropical rainforest.

We had a field trip to Bt. Timah Nature Reserve to make observations about plant ecology etc. for our Plant Biology module. The four of us, AA, Grace, Von and myself stuck together (as usual) and started to escalate the very steep trails. Our itinery was simple, this is basically what we did:

1. Look out for interesting/ relevant plants
2. Take pictures of the greenery.
3. Take silly pictures of ourselves.
4. Marvel at the cute little monkeys, squirrels, lizards and snakes.
5. Pant and complain of achy legs.
6. Return to the starting point and look forward to lunch.

So much for an educational trip! (On a more serious note, we did learn a little something lah... got read the informative signs they put up along the way mah...)

Anyway, wrong choice to wear jeans man. I know it's freaking crazy in this hot weather but I really didn't want to be a 10-course lunch for the mosquito family. Plus I have a lecture right after the trip and it's really troublesome to get changed. It's cold in the LT...

I ended up walking a whole 1h 15min (or 3.1km, including steep slopes and steps!) in my fitting jeans (the only pair i have in hall... drats). It was so darn hot it felt like I was doing some slim wrap for my legs. Anyway, I bet my legs are now 2cm slimmer already.

Je suis fatiguee but I still have 2 tutorials to do. And ANTM is on TV... time to multi-task!
