*fatigued*

..:: D A Y O N E ::..

wow. first day of survey camp. shitty in class, but the outdoor stuff was fun.

it has been soooo long since we've done any ground surveying - the last session was in our second semester. then it was a series of debilitating lab work.

the class started off kinda badly - they said there was gonna be a bus to go to the faculty, but there wasn't - just the usual bus route. so there i was waiting with faizah, and then followed by mei yee and szue yann. went to the lab. got briefed about the camp by the big teddy mr imzan. followed by assoc prof mohd nor said.

i was caught facebooking by the big teddy. my coursemate azizol (thanks for the heads-up) warned me, but alas, the phone was in my bag...after assoc prof mohd nor's briefing, i was promptly and humiliatingly reprimanded in class. i thought it would be an anonymous thing, but no. i was reprimanded there and then. what a terrible slap to the face. what i did do (focusing and making notes) was overlooked. instead, my tiny slip was highlighted and put into the spotlight. but i gave up fighting - it's really my fault. there's no use fighting the hand that feeds you, especially if it's a big fat hairy hand.

afternoon - got the stuff. just like the old days where we'd get our equipments; filling in forms, inspecting the equipments, just plain having responsible fun. those things really are older than us. it would be so nice if they can speak - we can hear about their adventures and the process of where they went and what they've done. the feel of the leather itself exuded an air of ancient demeanor.

after zohor, we proceeded to the site. dividing the site has already been carried out, but setting up common points was a pain. we can't even clearly divide the area - the layer of area and the layer of boundary on the site map was separated, so we had some difficulty identifying areas.

tomorrow starts another looong day - i hope everything goes nice and smooth. amin~

p/s: no energy to spruce up this entry - need that beauty sleep more, especially since i lost last night's sleep... (-_-)zZz
