Evening reflection

Maybe I should post one picture up from my Lassen trip...what can I say? Perhaps my mood is good tonight!

I don't know what to tell you guys about my trip, but it was great. Usually my regular camping spot will be at Pantai Kerachut, Penang. Sometimes, Muka Head and once at Teluk Kampi. How cold can those places get? 28 C? Also, I'll sleep like 4-5 hours per night during my camping trips back in those days. But this trip...was really different.

Coldest? How about 0 C? I refused to use a sleeping bag at first. I guess I lost my $10 to Lin. Don't get me wrong...it was pretty comfortable sleeping in the tent at 0 C...and I slept for more than 7 hours! Among all the camping trips I've had, this was the most comfortable...the longest rest I've had...and the most I ate too!...oh...and also the shortest.

We reached our camp site about 2-3pm. Pitched our tents up...and started a fire. Besides a few trips to the lake (picture) in the afternoon, evening and at night...all we did was EAT...yes ..EAT! Between 3pm to about 6pm...we took our time to barbeque some sausages...etc...between 8-11pm...we BBQ sausages, corn, baked beans...oh and steak too. Next morning, woke up at around 7.30 am...started the fire...and guess what...HANTAM some more food!

At night was cool though. Everyone was sitting around the fire, telling unsuccessful ghost stories...haha...I was just sitting there, sipping my Corona and Vodka...life felt good at that moment.

Actually right before we went to sleep, I wanted to take a walk towards the lake again, to snap some 3-4 mins exposure shots of the sky. But it was so dark... I was too lazy.... I had no one to go with me...Vodka was too good...wanted to enjoy the fire...too cold...feet hurts...not enough torchlights...................



OK, I had no balls to go by myself in the dark. Happy?
