Gunung Stong
Miscellaneous

I was in a hazy mood throughout the trip, sometimes feeling as though my mind's detached from the body, though prolly that's how i feel half of the time anyway.

Participants from such trips are usually fine people that i can mix well with. Birds of the same feather flocking together and all that shit. Once in a while there'll be a black sheep who comes along and smudge the pleasant experience.

On the Jerangkang trip there was the obnoxious Adrian. This time, a certain PCK really got on my nerves, so much so that he deserves a mention here.

This PCK wouldn't stop talking and maintained his LOUD incessant talking throughout the trip, even if the person don't show any interest in what he's talking about. Someone suffering from Tourette's Syndrome would look like a meek lamb beside him.

The worst moment was after we had all just entered the first cave and by some great misfortune, he ended up right behind me. Due to the narrow passageway, it meant that I was stuck there with a booming bunch of noise behind me for quite a while. He kept bragging to another poor guy about his photography skills and some dumb photography composition lesson which he paid a fortune for. Anyone with a bit of knowledge would have known that he's just relentlessly bullshitting about something that he doesn't understand at all. I had a burning desire to tell him to shut up at that time.

When he attempted to bug me, I gave him the shortest reply that I could muster and walked off.

Fast forward to the end of the trip, PCK and some others descended from the mountain first. Along the way, the pest attempted to talk to Iris and Yanqing, the latter who then told him that he's irritating. A while later, Iris was having difficult going down a slope so she called out to PCK for assistance. He was in front of her, yet merely turned back for a look and moved on without helping. Jerk.
