Holiday Camping on Pulau Miriad
The stressful final examination was over. All of us were head over heels and jumping up and down to show our happiness and freedom from the boredom of books and examinations. Among us, Mark was really on top of the world and came up with a brilliant idea. “Why don’t we go to Pulau Miriad for a holiday?” he suggested. Just then, some of us looked at each other and agreed in unison. As Mark, Edison, Patrick, Frankie and I decided upon for the camping trip, we had a discussion in groups on the preparation. Mark, as the leader of our groups, showed his responsibility on various issues pertaining to the camp. After one-hour discussion, we draw to a conclusion that we would meet each other at Jetty Sayong the following week at 6 o’clock sharp. It was a sunny, fascinating and wonderful Saturday morning. Five of us arrived at Jetty Sayong on time. Four of us praised Mark for being chosen the right day as the weather that day was as hot as fire. We were all fully prepared with food, beverages, compass, tents and other camping equipment. Enthusiasm, joy and excitement could be seen in our faces as we lined up on the jetty carrying a knap sack each on our back. We landed on the island an hour after. As soon as we arrived on the island, Frankie quickly took out the compass. Then, he took the lead and we explored the island together. We went hanging on the island enjoyed the beauty of nature. It really gave us spectacular experiences as we could see pitcher plants and conifers. Besides that, we were also lucky to see the biggest flower in Malaysia, Rafflesia. After the exploration, we distributed our jobs. Mark, who is an expert in pitching up the tents, was helped by Edison. At the same time, Patrick and I went to collect some firewood for cooking the wonderful lunch. Frankie cleaned our clothes and dried them up under the hot sun. As we were as hungry as wolves, we ate the delicious food in no time. In the evening, we went to Lalang Village. It was such a

    The splashes of the freezing spillway mixed with the cold wind coming off the water sent chills down my back. I yawned, the loud purr of the tugboat next to us made it impossible to hear my uncle ask if I was tired. We were passing the train of barges right after we left the launch and were headed into the woods. I have done all this before. It was all familiar to me. The only difference was that I had never been out here this early. The eerie white light of the moon was the only thing that let us see right now. Luckily for us the moon was huge and full tonight. It was about 4:30 in the morning and we were speeding into the swamps of the spillway. I looked at my uncle and I saw him standing up, driving the boat, with a smile on his face. This was his job and he loved it. When you love the wilderness, being out in the woods for eight hours a day was a treat. Especially when it ended with picking up a paycheck of about a thousand dollars at the end of each of those days.…

    As the sun rapidly vanished below the cracked timber opening of the Pub wall, Barney, Wally and I lethargically directed each other towards the exit, stumbling and fumbling. After leaving a lawn pizza at the front exit, we lurched towards the door of Wally’s shiny white Land cruiser. “Oii, Wal can you pop by my ute about one kilometre west, I need my dog Butch if we are going out shooting tonight.” I Garbled. “Sure mate” replied Wally.…

    A fresh breeze blew and ruffled the grass at the Lake of the Woods golf course in Mahomet, Illinois. The leaves fell from the trees and drifted amongst the wind. As I hauled the unopened tent towards my destination, there was lots of chatter, as well as some excitement, but no one spoke of the possibility of success in the monumental task ahead. We set up the tent and waited. We were awaiting the moment that we would go to where they had specified the activity to begin, the moment where most of the team would receive the opportunity to attempt the task we had been striving forward to achieve for the last few months. Except for me, I would be required to stay there just to cheer for those who participate, unless someone became injured to the…

    Upon my arrival at my hotel on the other side of the island, I feel a sense of total euphoria as I approach the front counter to check in. As I enter my hotel room the smell of fresh cut flowers fill my nose, the sound of local street performers playing music echoes in my head, and the sight of the pool’s beautiful blue water hits me like a ton of bricks. Immediately after I unpack my suitcase I quickly change into my swim shorts and head down to the pool. The combination of the sultry tropical heat, and the long walk to the hotel, had left me hot…
