Yep, managed to get back today! Yesterday night was really cold, and I am so glad I brought my sleeping bag along. The star view we saw, honestly, wasn't as good as the last time, and I am willing to bet that it is due to the full moon's light interfering with the starlight. The moonlight is actually so bright that the picnic lantern we brought wasn't used at all, and my friend actually managed to read a book under that light. It also wasn't so hot during the daytime, as we are on high ground, and for some reason there was a lot of wind (also contributed to a lot of airborne sand).
Due to boredom, the whole bunch of us did quite a bit of stupid things, like trying to cook instant noodles using heat from the sun. Actually kind of worked, but I swear it is unhealthy - The soup was pretty much concentrated - it was contained in that small maggie mee pack. Another thing we did was to hunt for handphone reception, and I have come to the conclusion that my current phone brand is useless - The nokia phone my pal had managed to get 4 bars (out of 5) of reception. Thankfully due to the break in activities I am back to civilization!
On the side note: Water is still out. Unable to shower. Rawr.
23 days. Not too sure if counting down is a good idea =)
ABUNDANT PEACE :)
