I'm back from Indonesia

So I'm back from my fat-camp trip.
I'm kinda lazy to blog but you're probably wondering why I call it the fat-camp trip.
Lemme explain.
On the first day I arrived, I got stopped at the airport and they confiscated my passport for 10 minutes. I was alone and couldn't contact Ilona at that time, so I refused to give them my passport thinking that the police over there aren't reliant. Afterall, they're pretty corrupted right.
Anyway, I met Ilona and cleared the mess up.
Oh yes, I must add that I almost missed my flight because I thought my plane leaves at 10.45am except it actually leaves at 10.15am.
And I still went to have a fag knowing that I only had 15 minutes to last call.
And still rushed to the ATM to withdraw money WHEN i realised that I don't have my card. Thus all I had was 80 bucks.
Which then made me really freak out. Thank god for Vic and C for lending me 200 bucks in total ( Which I didn't use int he end btw).
So I literally ran into the departure hall and almost passed out.

When I got to Pekanbaru, it was 1030am ( its one hour slower than SG time).
She drove me around, I met her friend Pangnol aka Nana.
And we didn't go to her place till 4pm?
Which was a quickie because I had to change into my adventure outfit BECAUSE SHE FUCKING TOLD ME WE HAD TO TREK SOME NATURE WALK SHIT WITH HER FAMILY excluding her dad.
LOL, so being tired and having to wake up at 7 that morning, I still went for the nature walk that involved lotsa hills, mud and Forest.
It was particularly insane because while running down a particular hill that had soil of a construction site ( that is orangey) I almost fell and thought to myself, Man where are the brakes on these legs.
When I finally Managed to actually slow down with a lot of effort, Ilona couldn't stop laughing. Her laughter caused these gigantic black monkeys ( the slightly smaller than a gorilla)to run away from the trees near us.

Anyway, lazy to blog.
I basically spent about 28 hours in the car +++ ( that is the road trip)
Travelled to Kirinci, West sumatra, Padang etc.
I spent about 4-5 days in the mountains that was so cold ( didn't look anything like Indonesia at all. It had freaking pine trees man and it was around 18 degrees and in the morning, when its really cold we can actually blow mist outta our mouths)
OH YES and I trekked a mountain that was 2900m high. When we reached the summit. We were in the clouds and I dined at the highest lake in SEA that's around 1900m high? All by foot by the way.
So yes, fat camp for me.
But my friend said that I grew fatter after the trip.

Not surprising considering the number of times these indonesian people eat in a day. It's pretty amazing. hahaha.
Let me give you an example, of that day when we had a 14 hour drive back to Pekanbaru after our adventure at the mountains.
So we're forced to wake up so bleedy early- 6am ( which's the norm time to wake up but then again I sleep at 9 because there isn't much to do).
And we have breakfast which's super spicy fried rice ( that rocks btw). So I've like two plates of those.
Then we bum around at the carpark ( we stayed in this guesthouse. A huge house with many rooms. So it's pretty much like a normal house with a normal looking carpark- I've this feeling it's not called a carpark but I can't remember the word right now so nvm) so we bum around the car park for 2 hours before anyone gets moving.
After visiting a mountain ( by car not by foot) and a hot spring ( that a girl committed suicide in. And her body disintegrated in it) These indonesian people started cooking like eggs and bananas in that water. So we ate. And this lady even brought soya sauce for her eggs HAHAHAHA.
While eating, Ilona reminded me of the girl and how they didn't really take out her whole body because it kinda exploded in the water ( not explode but broke apart). So I kinda ate her body. That made me nauseas.

Anyway, I'm lke real lazy to blog.
More pictures another time ( Didn't really take that many) I had a lot of fun.
