genting TRAILBLAZERS

it was awesome !!! .
as how my partner would have said it... >.<

we completed the course of 16km in 5.5 hours..
we were very looking forward for 3 hours... *which i believe quite impossible, as @ 11:45am we are still waiting long queue @ the last river crossing* =.=;

Friday night was tiring with an unformal Raleigh Meeting in Desa Park City.
we departed home @ about 11pm+

Sat woke up at about 8am+
did lots of house work, include:-
- laundry *and realised my housemate left me with 5 miserable drops of detergen*
- sweeping
- lipat baju
- sidai baju
- room cleaning
- re-arrange some furniture because of new housemate coming in
- PACK for CK & Poh-E's surprise party
- pack for dinner & breakfast
- and finally pack for the Race.. which is our usual Raleigh baju & all the Raleigh outdoor stuff.

departed house about 11:30am, went to Mechanic to repair my punctured tyre..
uncle only charge me RM5... *whow*... clap clap...
stucked in jam for a 'long' while & pick up luyi from KTM, then waited for the other 2.. *my partner Shi Wei* and supporter Woon Chin...

drove to TESCO Selayang to beli our dinner & breakfast *we forgotten about our lunch* haha..
(note: it's also opposite Holiday Tours, luyi & karlye's office & where I will be having my 2nd interview there too, pray for me)
stucked in a super jam-ed JALAN KUCHING... drove all the way to Selayang Market (shirleen's ex-house) and made a U-Turn back to use DUKE... as the DARK CAVE road is jam packed & dont seems to move...

DUKE with a toll of RM2, was a smooth ride..
minutes later we went to Shell to pump more petrol & 'woon chin' went to changed our 'kemek' roti...
kind heartedly, the kedai 7eveleven changed for her wor... =.=;
*note: si woon chin & wsw argue over ONE PIECE of SUSHI !!! which both add up put tak sampai RM2.50 along JALAN KUCHING jam... super fann... =.=;

minutes later we reached the Genting RM5 toll and more minutes later, we arrived Awana...
i realised my rucksack was huge... ops.. *eh i lazy to pack properly, so i just dump everything leftover from last week's Sekinchan trip* and also my bolster... ssshhhszzz...

we registered, got our Number Bibs.. we are team "F 064"
collected our Goodie Bag, free Power Bag & got each a can of Red Bull... *shi wei went hyper for about an hour.. =.=;*
*i was still having headache*
listen to briefing for awhile & got bored.. they kept repeating the Water Questions 5 times..
then we left & headed to Vincent & Marble's room..
they PARTY-ed there.. with music box & bed rolling...
*i was still having headache*
vincent called & say jaga his room.. I told him.. TOO LATE... =.=;

at last, my room owners came.. *super thanks to Liza & Livyen for their room, wsw & I were too broke to afford a room*
we shifted our barang2, yes my huge ass rucksack and too more food & snacks from my car.. haha..
then lepak @ dennis's room for a while before heading back to 'my room' haha.. to cook dinner...

5 of us were feed with:-
3 chicken tight
5 packets instant noodles
20 sausages
1 packet Party Seafood noodle
1 biji of sayur (tak tahu nama in english or malay, cuma tahu chinese, 'glass raw vege')
1 packet of vegetarian satay

we were stuffed with just the right amount..
*si karlye learning chinese from lots of sifu & masters from the Kepong gang*

then we later had a massage session.. it was great.. especially my headache.. it was a relieved but it was still there.. =.=;

all these while si marble was repeating atleast the 3rd time of his master plan for CK & Poh-E.... =.=;
there are 3 LEVEL...
LEVEL 1 is....
LEVEL 2 is...
LEVEL 3 is... (woon chin: what is LEVEL 1 already ar??.... huahahaha... so woon chin, I ketawa & tergolek atas lantai lor)

at last after long discussion & some rounds of recce, we went to CK's room, culik-ed him by wrapping him up with his room blanket & throw him into a lift & press LOBBY..

continue with blind folding, carry him to swimming pool... turned a few rounds & push him into the Pool together with Hui Mei.
Lagi told him his present is in the middle of the pool lor... =.=;
while he shivers in the cold dark night..
we arranged tea candles & formed "Sang Yatt Fai Lok, CK" for him.. in chinese characters la.. i lazy to copy & paste... =.=;

then we proceed to Dennis's room with the nicely decorated balloons... >.<

1 Malaysia

one day at work, I receive some emails regarding 1 Malaysia from Eve... and suddenly i had the urged to write a pantun... thanks to Eve to had copied it down wrote on my FB wall..
as a remembrance i could still able to write such.. i must pen it down in my virtual log... >.<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Berbagai bangsa, berbilang kaum...
1 Malaysia Mungkin adalah impian kepada sesetengah
Melaksanakan atau Menjadikan ia sesuatu Kejadian
Ianya adalah mimpi yang mereka mengharapkan

Untuk aku,
Negaraku tidak lagi perlu aku hidup berperangan
Hidupku berharmoni Hidupku aman berdamai
Setakat dapat aku
Mengelilingi dunia satu kali
Tapi aku tamak, dua kali baru cukupi,
Begitulah impiannya aku.

life, work, Raleigh

friend 1: i must change my working attitude
friend 2: be happy & cheerful
friend 3: i must get a better job....
friend 4: why am I not working today ?? why ?

i had been emo today... thinking & re-thinking.. about my life...

I had not came to this stage, until i feel I am getting more serious about it.

My life had became undecided & sometimes, full of surprises ... sometimes.. i even surprises myself at that very moment...

I had decide to reply an email and received a call. Looking forward for my interview...
afterall, just like how luying said... my life had a huge changed because of 'Raleigh'...

somehow, somewhere hearing this word other from my bubble of Raleigh friends, it 'triggers' me, tickles me & make me start to think wild & crazy all over again ... *thousands of questions will pop-into my mind*...

so, I will again make another step to step-out-from-what-I-am-doing-now...
It might be a hard step but... I strongly believe it's going to be worth it.

ike some friends says, I want to earn LOTS & LOTS of $$$ to go explore the world...
will my expedition next year to Costa Rica jadi ???
I really do hope I get to embark on one...

but the determination to raise that amount is HARD.. or should I say, it's super hard...
my determination all these while is super low.. and *im super surprise & amazed of a friend FWC who can do it*... *you can see sparkles from my eyes, macam in Manga*

RM30 000.of cold HARD CASH !!.. if I believe i can do it... I MUST do it... I CAN do it...
*I was full of enthusiasm few weeks ago, but after staying up late every night to extra work, I realised I had not enough energy to work my daily work... I cant take it... I really wanted too & I could not...
*that was a hard feeling

I had even stick my piece of paper written "RM30 000" in my room... i really do hope that piece of paper able to motivate me...

During comm meet, everyone had agreed to do selling cookies to Fund Raise for Raleigh KL.
I like the idea... miss those moments my whole family baking cookies...and cake...

I think I should also sell cookies & bake cakes to Fund Raise lor..
and doing it in Penang is so much cheaper...

what do u all think??? as i've got all the resources to do it in Penang...
if any of my job hunting in KL tak jadi & I end my contract, i will most probably do that (with the help of my mom)... I think I can pinjam some oven & bring it over to KL...
I have lots of more human resources in KL to help me bake.. yes... I like the idea...
that's what friends are for !!!...

had a great weekend with the Raleigh Kl committees.... life will never be the same once you've step into this circle of friends...
although it was a small town named Sekinchan, must give some credit... too..


what make the weekend so happening??
some props: mickey costume + Powerpuff ButterCup costume + Pooh costume
rm60+ of cheap snacks + juices + ices
4 bottes of liquer: baileys + malibu + peach + vodka + whiskey (extra kick)
2 cars: jazz + avanza + kenari (extra car)
1 kampung place: Sekinchan
1 semi-D: 4 rooms + 3 bathrooms + 1 living room + kitchen ( to eat drink sleep & play)

1 bungee cord (the magnificent cord could make everyone went *high*)
11 chairs
1 CD player which came with a DJ... (with her collection of CDs)....
2 seafood meal
'grill chicken' rice for breakfast
1 hour of driving with Tampasak view
berekar-ekar of Paddy field
a stolen fallen mango
a free red/purple mango
thousands & thousands of camwhoring in a small town

a collection of cameras: from DSLR to analogs
and
a BUnch of 12 girls & guys, individually crazy fellas

total burned: rm72.00 each...
*what-an-inexpensive-weekend well spend & worth spend*



*extra thanks to our skilled entertainer*
&
miss tamkarlye the TBC organisers !!


happy ending... with good thoughts, good decision & overall, I have caring friends & a bubble of friends who cares about me... >.<>

is finally back from 3rd Hong Kong trip

it's getting short & shorter...

but it was all fun & just GET OUT THERE...
i got too stress out @ work I need to leave the country URGENTLY...

check out Air Asia, the cheapest flight to somewhere I familiar & do not need to spend much was HK & the date, was last weekend lor.. haha...

last minutely took 2 days Annual Leave (my last 2 days of AL with Pru)... also tak kisah bah..

had a blasting time in Hong Kong !!!!..

the most memorable was my THIRD DAY...
HK had officially hoisted TYPHOON 8 on Monday 14 September 2009.
coincidently it was my last day in Hong Kong... means.. all my last minute shopping....

arggghhhh... i would had said, it ruin a little of my time there... sky got dark super fast..
shopkeepers are already in the midst to keep their stuff... (i got lesser time to shop)
all worried & wants to finish off their work ASAP & balik rumah...

inexperience of typhoon 8 me, happily continued shopping in Sheung Wan... i walked/ bristled my way from Sheung Wan to Lan Kwai Fong.. because I had got to get my favourite tee from H&M.. haha.. it's a super colourfull checked tee for HK$99.

loving it...

how was my trip to the Hong Kong Airport?? It was almost a nightmare.
I was already missing HK when I was shopping my last moments in Lan Kwai Fong.. (sms-ed Luyi)
after i stuffed all my shoppings into my rucksack @ Yes Inn @ about 6pm, I quickly wash up my self in the washroom before i grab my rucksack and headed to the bus stop below for BUS 11A to the airport.

happily thinking, i get to shop again @ Hong Kong Disneyland souvenier shop in HKIA... (wheeeeee, more Pooh)
mana tahu, the jam from NT to Airport was super bad.. they'd closed the 7 or 8 lanes toll to only 3..
I believe it was to reduced the amount of vehicles on the bridge (HK famous Ching Ma Dai Kiu)... as the wind was strong.. too heavy might break the bridge? maybe...

so the bus moved a few meters after halted for more than 10 minutes... *in my heart* sei lor...
i was already thinking the worst... who lived nearest to the Airport.. Tom, Spence... maybe i can ajak them for dinner... hahaha...
then catch the next available flight back to KL lor.. what to do...

after a terrible & miserable self-heart-to-self-heart talk, the bus seems to arrive the airport... according to my HP time...
i'm exactly 45 minutes to my departure time... sei lor.. counter CLOSE NOW!!!.. lagi it's HKIA... sure everything is on time..

before the Bus arrived @ Terminal 2 (T2), i'd grabbed my rucksack and all prepared to run to the check-in counter...
once the bus stopped, doors openned. i jumped out & ran as fast my feet could carry me... i was panic @ the big huge screen trying to find where is Kuala Lumpur check in counter for AA,
found.. it was just right behind the big screen...

i flew there, happily i was allowed to check-in... wah... that was like the happiest moments... in recent times.. i ever had.. i did not miss my flight !!!!!
i letak my bag on the weigh-ing strap... SMARTLY.. packed rucksack by me.. it weight 14.8kg... wakakakak... me super expert dah...

everything was smooth... the girl told me i have another 5 minutes to the custom gate & another 10 minutes before the departure gates close... and guess what.. Gate 47 is 2 trains away after the custom... sei again lor...

i ran towards the custom.. but my heart still wanted me to go visit the HK Disneyland gift shop.. so i ran there & check out if there's any Pooh Soft toy keychain... i'd been looking for it for months dah.. masih tak ada..

i ran down to the custom, everything cleared... double Phewed... *somehow raleigh people have a higher heartbeat rate @ these counters*, it's either liquid or penknife.. hahaa...

grab everything, got my passport stamped... ran to the train.. changed train.. ran to the gate..
everyone seems to be sitted nicely & comfily.. i asked "if i still have time to go to the washroom"... yes, i thought tak cukup masa dah... pergi grab some expensive chocolate as food.. as i know i will get hungry & AA does not serve food to non-pre-order passenger in less than 2 hours...

i even managed to walked around to a few other shops to hunt for my Fruitips.. yes.. found it in a shop... over priced by HK$3... dont carelah.. i still LOVE them.. hahaha...

almost bought all available on shelf... hahaha... there weren't much lor...

so happily got into the plane & i pakai-ed my sleeping neck pillow.. nice.. after allowing more air out.. it became more comfy.. and the eyes cover.. was just perfect..
i need all the sleep i need...

as HK was still typhoon 8, the plane had a rough journey the 1st hour... tiba2 jatuh, heart also can feel like pop-out.. haha. but it was fun & i trust our pilot...

hours later, fight delayed & arrived LCCT @ 2am+... sei.. last bust was supposed to be @ 1:15am.. called luyi, she wanted to come pick me from LCCT lor.. i told her dont.. it's so late jor.. let me check if there's still bus..

found.. masih ada.. pop-in told luyi, im safe.. still got bus... an hour later.. i arrived KL central.. should be 3am+ dah.. reached home also dah 4am+

after online abit.. i pengsan-ed.. took MC & i'm too 'sick' too work dah.. ahahaha

shall talk more about my trip & my photos.. (did not took much, was alone and wanted to spend more time shopping) and im also too lazy to dig out my camera which is in the bottom of all my shoppings.. hahaha

looking forward for another Raleigh trip to HK, i believe we will be as crazy as we did during March early this year.. excited.. all over again !!!...

meaningless JOB

i'm having the urge again yesterday morning after a brief session with the Assistant Director....

the urge to
QUIT !
i sms-ed my mom, short & nice, "I want to quit"..

tears was rolling out when I sat infront of my comp, @ my workspace...
trying my best to perform my work...
Years of hardwork, I've never had such an experience... the feeling was different.
During times in Pulau Ubin, I've much worst experiences, but I love that job, therefore I am able to withstand everything, but this is a totally different story...

I'd even changed my log-in-to-system password to "QUIT" how about that?? (we've got to change password every 3-4 weeks, auto prompt).. this is the worst stage of my working life... =.=

"God, please help.... "
