I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.

~ Oliver Wendell Holmes~

Hurm.. A great insight..

Labuan: Intervarsity Sea Challenge

We departed fom Kuantan approximately at 12 am on the 5th March.. My struggle to finish all of my reports put me into deep slumber throughout the journey.. I only woke up when we arrived at LCCT


Day1: Our flight was at 7.35 am and was scheduled to arrive at Labuan at 10.35 am.. 3 months leaving my hometown.. You can imagine how excited I was... And this is the first time ever that friends from UIA finally pay a visit to my small island...


Upon arrival I was greeted by dear Mommy :) Then we went straight to UMS. We were in the same flight with UPSI and UDM students.. We saw their paddles... The 3 of us straight away knew that those BIG GUYS were our RIVALS... They were HUGE!!!!







Nothing much done on day 1.. We were placed in a semi-D house.. Sisters' and brothers' houses were next to each other..






The volleyballers and soccer players went for a quick training in the sandy court.. Brought Kimi along to watch.. I thought that it would be a good exposure to the cute little chinese-look boy.. At home he said to his father..






"I saw aunty jiji play ball. But she used her hands" Hehehe cute!





Day 2: We did a quick shopping.. Went to Ujana Kewangan to grab some chocolates.. Next we went to the 'gerai' to shop for pearls and tshirt..








The first game for beach soccer was on that friday night. The 1st match was UIA vs. UTM pahang and the 2nd match was UIA vs. UMS-KAL. They won both game and were the champion of their group. \(^^)/ NICE ONE!!!!

Day3: The soccer players went for the semi final where they met with UMS KK. Well, it was a very nice game. UMS KK won.. In the match for 4th and 3rd place, our team lose to UTM pahang.. Hurm.. all players played well but I guess we have no luck there :-) It's okay team.. What matters?? TEAM WORK!!!!






That Afternoon we have beach volleyball in which my team mates were playing.. Jibah, Lynn and Adik Lyana.. They did their best.. I can see that clearly.. But I think luck was not on our side that time.. I didn't watch the guys play hehe That time I went for a jog in my school which is located just next to UMS-KAL.. Filtering sweet memories into my mind in the breezy evening... Uish...




Penyokong kuat aunty jiji :-)

Day 4: The Kayak challenge day.. there were 2 categories; K1 300m and K2 600m.. Well, there were a slight mistake there whereby we've thought that for mix double the distance is 300m but it's actually 600m. So the distance was doubled than what we've expected and even practiced.. And another thing is that we never tried to commence the race by first pulling the kayak from the shore and then have to jump in.. So at the beginning of the race, when I was pulling the kayak and Mady was pushing it from the rear side, ada seorang budak perempuan jatuh tersembam ke dalam air due to unequal energy applied hahaha.. Don caught it in a video.. How embarassing!



That night, we went to my uncle's house to have dinner.. I made ambuyat for them to taste hehe I don't have the pics yet but ambuyat is made from sagu and it has sticky texture hehe I'll upload the pics here later ok :-)








I really enjoyed this sea challenge thing.. One is because it was held in my dearest island :-) second I got the chance to bring my friends to eat dinner with my family \(^^)/



KALO SUDI DATANGLA LAGI EK!!!!!
