Happy Ox Year!

Had reunion dinner. This time we had it outside instead of having it at my grandma's house. It was very crowded and it took very long to wait for the dishes to be served. Very not comfortable, hungry and boring. Hope we won't go outside for reunion dinner next year. 

Just now watched some video clips from my childhood time. There's some changes in me. Last time I was very serious or should I say I pretended to look serious, even in front of my parents and brother. I remember deep inside I was playful but didn't show it coz I thought being serious will be praised by the elders. I remember I did not allow myself to act funny in front of people. I think I've changed quite a lot now, at least in front of close friends and family I will hit some lame jokes and laugh like some crazy fella. Hehe. Why so serious when your life is just so short? 

By the way. Happy Ox Year! 

New Year song

I'm back! Mehehehe.. 

Chinese New Year is inching. I can feel it from the chinese new year songs from radio stations. If you observe carefully, most of the chinese new year songs have my name in it. =P They would be either "Gong Heay Gong Heay" or "Heay ya Heay ya Heay" or "Heay Heay yeong yeong" or "Gong Heay hor Heay". Haha.. See, how nice my name is. =P

Luckily today is not very jam. It took 5 and half hours to reach my hometown from KL. I expected 8 hours before I boarded the bus. But my butt was pain from sitting with the same position for too long. So cham...

I'm going to meet my hometown friends soon.

Update: Back from yamcha with friends. Some of them I dun even know their names actually. Hehe. But I'm glad that I've met them. 

Theme colour changed!

Hey! I've changed the theme colour of my blog! Hehe. Coz one reader of mine said that it's too bright and the sharp colours bring strain to the eyes. So I changed it to a softer theme. =)

The neighbours behind my room are playing some online game and cannot control themselves from laughing, talking aloud and swearing. Really cannot stand them. So me and Audrey thought of something to revenge on them! =P We switched on our air cond coz our air-cond exhaust is very noisy when it's heated up, like some kind of generator. Plus, it will generate heat and hopefully transfer most of the heat to the neighbour's room. Muahaha.. If this plan fails, I think the last resolution is to shout over to ask them shut up.

Oh my hell! It's twelve already. It has way pass my usual bedtime which is 11pm nowadays (It's getting earlier and earlier... lol)

Nights.

Bukit Tabur West

Whooh! I'm safe and sound from Bukit Tabur West hike! Thank god!


This is Bukit Tabur West (taken from other blogger's blog who took the Tabur East trek)

This time I climb this hill with wobbly and jelly-like limbs. Why? Because there was a small accident today before us whereby a hiker fell off from the abseiliing rope and was suspected to have broken his/her leg. After knowing the incident my limbs became like mashmallow. But when we reached there and started to abseil we know what was the reason for the accident already. A new rope is used to substitute the old one. It's much much more slippery than the old rope. Maybe the old rope is not as slippery because it has been wear and torn for long time and hence the surface not as glossy and smooth hence allowing stronger grips? And does this explain the October 08 30m fall accident?

In some way knowing about the incident was good. It made us more careful when abseiling down the rope. But in some way, it's not as good coz it had already scared me to the extent that my limbs were almost malfunction to do the abseiling part. Most of the time I was stucked half way abseiling by my own fear. Hands on the rope sweating and feet touching the wall of the rocks not knowing which step to take next. I know holding on to the rope for too long was not good coz the sweat might make my hand slipped from the already very slippery rope. Plus, even if there's knots on the rope, I think the longer I hold onto the rope with almost all of my body weight on it, the weaker my hands would be. So I forced myself to continue.

"Mama... I duwan to move. Can I just stay here and wait for people to get me down?"

Also, see, my left feet positioning was wrong. I should stick my toes part of the feet to the cracks. I think my adidas kampung was not very flexible and have a very blunt head to let me stick my feet to the cracks. Should have try with bare feet? =P And I didn't use glove. Maybe I should use glove? Will it be less slippery? Actually these rocks have many cracks to stick our feet and support the body, should be quite easy to go down one.. But because the rocks are curved more outwards than the bottom. So it's hard to step on. I dunno la.. Not a very good abseiler.

Sigh. This by far was my most scary experience I had during hill climbing... I wonder whether I dare to go Tabur again... Even if I dare to go I think my mum definitely will kill me if I go again.

But I like this kind of satisfaction from surviving the climb.

Update:

Just found a website about the accident in Tabur yesterday. It was a college student aged 22 who jumped onto a spot whereby the soil was loosen not because of the rope. He fell down 100m from the spot and broke his leg. He was conscious throughout and rationally told his friends which part of his body was painful. It took the Bomba 1 hour plus to bring him down to the bottom of the hill. Luckily he's okay now.

Yesterday Adam saw a spot of soil which looks loose. I dunno whether it's that spot which made the guy fell. Luckily we chosed another route.

Too tired to write any longer. Here's the website I got the news from. And this blog is teaching people many ways on how to safely climb Bukit Tabur West. I think it's really nice of her to post up these on her blog. =)

My series of unfortunate events

"Yeay! It's weekend!" When I marched towards my car the sun shone weakly on me and dark clouds were hanging on the sky, meaning I had to swim indoor.

The road was free of traffic I wonder why. Maybe still early for traffic? I drove to the aquatic centre in Shah Alam and I chose indoor which is RM1 more expensive than outdoor pool. Just in case it rains. The corn in cup at the food stall beside the counter was very tempting and my stomach was growling. But I worried I might get appendicitis. So I went to swim empty stomach. And then the unfortunate events started from here.

The sticker bangle the counter gave me always slipped off from my hand when I swim last time. So, following the receptionist suggestion, the bangle is for entry purpose, I can throw it away after I went in. So, I throwed it into a dustbin and thought I was very bergaya. After 6 rounds (300m) I was too hungry and started to have gastric pain. And I felt dizzy when I was halfway swimming. Most of the time when I relax my body after every stroke I felt my limbs weaken ed and I wanted to just lay there in the water. I wanted to get out of the water, go out to the food stall and buy the corn in cup and come back to swim. But my bangle... Without it I think I can't come back to the pool. Sigh... Lesson of the day. Never ever throw something that you might need later. After 9 rounds, which was only 30 minutes after I entered the centre (including changing in toilet), I can't stand the pain from the gastric already.. Went out and bought the damn corn in cup. Wasted my RM3 =(

After the corn in cup I feel better and I planned to go Pyramid to have my proper dinner, buy some cookies for my aunt for Chinese New Year and some groceries. It was 7.20pm and the parking lot was full already. I saw quite a few people walking out from the exit but they always went to the different direction I'm heading to. I missed more than 5 chances! What bull's luck?! It took me freaking 30 minutes to turn around the parking lot to look for a freaking parking lot. And my petrol dropped by one bar. Grrr.... Wasted my petrol! And my hunger was back. The corn had done it's job. So, I gritted my teeth and grunted to a random space "Argh! So you want to see me die of hunger here?" And right after I frus-ed out my grunt, I found a parking lot right in front of my eyes. As if no one saw it, everyone just passed by the lot as if it is meant to be there, for me. Muahaha..

I dragged my wobbly legs to the mall towards Mc Donald's and hopped onto my dinner, finally! Before I realized, I was wearing a kinda-loose T-shirt with a baggy shorts and a pair of slippers that people only wear to beaches or night markets. And worse of all, I haven't combed my hair after changing in the aquatic centre! Bad habits. The funny thing was that when I was enjoying my meal, a lady came to ask for donation at my neighbouring tables, except me! Maybe because I was really dressed down for the mall. lol.. So in the end I didn't even care for my eating manner anymore (As if I have proper eating manner usually...duh..)

I bought the CNY cookies without any unfortunate circumstances. But grocery was too heavy to carry. It was a bad choice coming to Pyramid to buy grocery all by myself. Not getting a parking for more than 15 minutes was already a sign. But I didn't see it. And now I spent too much on the raw materials to make spaghetti. Rm13.80 for a pack of Parmesan cheese! Sigh.. I might as well use cheddar cheese and shred it. I don't think it would make any difference to our oriental tastebuds anyway. Too bad, too late.

Despite these unlucky events, I'm still in good mood! Hehe. Coz it's weekend! I've been counting down to a whole day nap since Tuesday. Finally I can rest my neck. =)

So tomorrow I'm gonna be a nocturnal animal which sleeps in daytime. But I'm a mutated one coz I'll be sleeping in both nighttime and daytime. Muahaha.. So, please do not disturb. Hehe.

Oh ya. By the way, just now when leaving Pyramid, I saw a guy who looks very alike Heng. I felt a pang in my heart. The pang weakened my limbs. My legs felt like mashed potatoes. I had the urge to run to him and ask him in surprise "Whoa! How come you're here?" But on second glance... No.. He looked a bit different. I think I'm destined to be bothered by Heng mentally. So I give in, at this moment (coz I dunno what's gonna happen next).

Photobucket couldn't upload my food photos. So I cant upload picture then. Gonna sleep until 2pm tomorrow. But normally I wake up at 7.30am on weekends. Hmm.. We'll see.
