..:: DAY THREE ::..
- levelling
- did everything we needed to do
- repeated the first part of determining the misclose and first point's height three times - unintentionally blew up at some people. SORRY FRIENDS...
- resumed levelling of our areas - around pusat latihan utm and the area in front of kolej 17
- we left out one crucial point - thankfully it was near the end so no biggie - repeated the area, did some more calculations and ended up with very minimal misclose.
- had lunch at the wakaf: nasi ayam. rehydration is essential, so i had plain water. no sugars - im getting plumper.
- just as we finished up (along with the minor correction), rain poured.
- took the rain's coolness to rest. resumed survey camp agenda with nightly meetings with the prof. fitted the traverse area on AutoCAD with minimal misfittings. just that our area didn't quite cover everything, but shall be covered in tachy session.
- nasi ayam penyet CP, went back, had dinner+breakfast, sleep.
..:: DAY FOUR ::..
- tacheometry
- started off in the parking lot of pusat latihan utm
- MANY points in parking lot alone. LOL
- worked into the late morning - finished digesting last night's ayam penyet, hence feeling hungry. LOL
- walked and ran around more to justify the massive load of food i ingested from monday
- moved up to 2nd and third point - had lunch. nasi ayam again.
- the raybans made an impression on my face - a shades-shaped pale patch. LOL
- resumed tachy after lunch of nasi ayam. took points on the slope heading down to the oxidation tanks. scary - bushes, cut-down secondary jungle
- managed to finish up the station's point before downpour. stuck in pusat latihan until 5pm
- went back on motorbike with Pudin - it's been so long since i've rode a bike, let alone riding in the rain. had fun, although i'm feeling the warmth of a potential fever and the hot+dry eyes
- nightly meetings with the prof - learned how to use the CDS2 software to input data from traverse. can be exported to AutoCAD
- feeling awe-inspired and very proud to have William as our group leader - efficient (although sometimes relentless), quick-footed, skillful, and surprisingly, has sense of humor
- bracing myself for a groggy friday - start off at 0730hrs
