Up up and away~ (MORO Camp)

Flight to MORO camp was in the afternoon and i arrived there earlier as i was worried that my luggage will have some issues, since they “preferred” to have soft case bags on the plane. Upon reaching the airport, i noticed that almost all of the passengers had soft bags. Only one other guy have this long boxy case, probably for some equipment… However, all was ok as the staff collected my luggage without questions. The next worry is the chopper flight…
 

This is MORO Camp from the plane.
This is the view from the plane.
Haha, the wheel. :P
The propeller plane...
This was the plane we took.
The bunk up in MORO camp.
Gloomy day that day.
Some other view of the camp.
Up in MORO Camp, (Up, because it is 1000m high up!) i was like a lost chicken in the camp, coz most people were regulars in the camp. Luckily i had this client rep with me, and that makes two lost chickens in the camp. lol
 
Sadly i was assigned to a two men bunk and had to sleep on the top bed. The client got his own room and bed!!! But luckily we were only to sleep there for a night. Food in this camp is pretty good. There were a good spread of chicken, fish and rice for dinner and i had a sumptuous meal before we hit the bed.
 
We finished chatting at about 8pm local time (LT) which is actually 6pm SG time… As we have to wake up before 5am for breakfast and meeting at 6am, we have to sleep… Meaning i have to sleep at SG Time (7pm – 3am) Zzz… 3am sounds like the time that i go to sleep loh… Nevertheless, i hopped into bed at 9pm(LT) only to find out that the bed is shaky!!! My bunkmate is watching Australian football at that time, so i tot i should try to make myself tired and at the same time wait for him to sleep before i try to sleep. So i set up my laptop on the bed,trying to play some games. True enough, after approximately 1hr, he was snoring away. So its like my turn to sleep, 1030pm LT = 830pm SG time. How to sleep?!? Furthermore i have to keep still, coz every slight movement, the bed will twitch and shake… I think i only sleep at around midnight loh… Aiyoh so tired…
 
Early morning, breakfast was decent, much better the Crown Plaza, simply because there are 4 type of eggs! Hard-boiled, scrambled, sunny side and Omelette. Woohoo~ I had three types of eggs that day. lol.

I remember people were saying that this camp is good and the next one is bad… So i kinda kept my expectation to the lowest for the next camp to come… KOPI Camp.

Chopper flight was alright, given that we were travelling with one of the ExxonMobil big shot. There were 7 of us out of the possible 9 seats available.
