All the things are nicely packed. My backpack is pretty heavy. 8 KGs in total!! I wish I could survive carrying those weight up to the Mt. K peak.

As for the blog, seriously I have tonnes of pictures to post and stories to tell.. But work happen to be parading in front of me these couple of days so I was pretty tight up. Plus my 3G USB modem went kaput since last week and the only internet connection is the office..

Eventually I am heading home now, getting all the stuff for the trip. My flight to KL would be in few hours so till then, hope you guys can still hear from me in 4 days time. eleh macam la ade org nak bace pon blog nih heh

{April 24, 2008}   breath in, breath out

At last I have some room to breathe in. Work here is purely work. Hectic-er as usual, You will see me sitting at my place, from 9-7pm without having the time to even go to the restroom. The only vast movement is running around to the photocopier/printer machine to get my documents and drawings. Now I have passed the my SLD sketches to my designer, I could have some time on my own, before he comes back to me and the load will continues.

busy

I am thinking of joining the ladies to MJ Warehouse sale tomorrow. The location is just nearby the office. but Heavens knows how’s my day tomorrow. I am not looking for anything actually. But the price list for perfumes are tempting. 100ml Moschino EDT for only RM109 what a bargain. But then again, I just bought a new perfume last month.

But I need to find a birthday gift for K.Ira. She invited me for the birthday luncheon at HRC this coming Sunday. What should I get her? I am looking forward for their burgers. Sgt yummy!

OK OK… I see work is making its way to me now… Urghhh puyaoo puyaooo!!!

bye now



{April 22, 2008}   the long awaited photos

The hiking trip to Gunung Angsi was somehow challenging. Although it was my third time climbing the hill, I still found it as amusing. Kenape?? Well the tracks are now different, in the sense that it was raining the night before. Just imagine the track condition, slippery, muddy smelly, u name it..

We started off climbing from the path near the roadside. If you are familiar with the road, it is actually situated along the infamous Bkt Putus area. It is the exact road that I frequented to home every 2 weeks or another. The winding road will always be full of traffic during weekends. So yeah that was our starting point.

After 2hours walk in the jungle we made a quick pit stop to gather up the group again. Mind you climbing the place really challenge your stamina if you did not keep fit. To those who wonder, I am proud to stay I was doing well. No panting, pengsan incident occurred. The gym helps a lot you know! Thank goodness

After approximately half an hour later, we reached the peak. It was heavenly feeling to see the surrounding mountain top. I could even see my housing area from there. My house is just 15mins drive away from Bkt Putus ok. Up there, there were a few more groups from some college and PLKN were already there resting. It r reminds me a lot of the memoirs back when I was still in UTP. With super great friends, any expedition will be more fun together. Sampai bleh la tercrush kat sorang member just because mase expedition tuh die yg paling comel di antara sume org yg comot2 tu kan.. Nadya ko toksah nak kasi ketawa keji ok!

view from topexhaust faces

We had our quick bite for lunch, snapped a few photos before starting our climb down. The path down was different, gauge our physical and mental. You see the way up was not so hard actually. We did not have to use any ropes, sliding wutsoever to the peak.

But here, we were forced to use ropes to go down, as there were few areas showing land slides, and the merekah² due to the rain. One of the colleague was afraid of heights, just imagine how she felt looking at the place. The condition forced her to overcome the fright. Thank goodness nothing happen to her, but we all saw the tears she held once she stepped down. It was the determination people.. and of course, mane ade jln lain dahhh nak tanak kena gak la kan? huhu

We crossed upon a few small rivers too.. The icy cold water was refreshing. Bermain2 air sejuk setelah berpeluh sakan mmg sronot! But we did not stay long as the were signs of dark clouds approaching. It was going to rain, so we hurried our way out. Along the way, the group were split into few smaller groups, plainly because ade yang dah super penat.. so they walk at their own pace, slowly. And thus 4 of our colleagues lost their way, siap ade search n rescue tuhhh.. huhu. I was among the 8th person to reach the final point, and together we waited for the rest to arrive. Dismayed to see the last person had arrived without the other 4, the organizer started to panic. It was already raining that time, and I became a bit selfish too. Can’t hardly wait to go back. Hungry and exhausted, but well, I still waited for them.

Once received the phone call telling that they were found, I straight away went to the car and drive home. Penat sgt ok! It was already 5.15pm and I had not had a proper food since morning, you could easily heard the lion inside my tummy growled angrily.

But it was a relieve to know that they were found safe and sound. Once reached home, I showered and thought of having something to eat. But my eyes were not following my head. They straight away went to shutdown mode, instead of stand by. My sport shoes were filthy, I mean so damn filthy that I could not imagine how to clean it up from the mud and god knows what stinking stuff stuck between the sole. Huhu but was so sedey to throw it away.. I still keep in though, inside a plastic bag.. waiting for it to rot, so dat I could toss it away without having the guilty feeling.

Next climb will be this coming weekend, to G. Datuk. Still within N9, ohh so nice! But this time around it will be a night climb. I will be using the new hiking shoe eheh.

Wish me luck ya!

{April 18, 2008}   the milestone

Hey, Hey.. I just realize the counters hit the numero mil!

Monaco?

France?

Care to introduce yourself? It would be nice to know who my readers are..

Although I know my entries could bore you to death with long string of words, and sometime I am lost of words, as it does not portray how I see the situation. That’s why I write less now.

Thank you all for dropping by, though my posts are not hot cakes, as in Datin Diaries, no major conflicts, just plain chic lit day-to-day life and how I succumb into it. I wonder how you all could bear with me :-P


Have a nice day people!!



{April 14, 2008}   the sole story

It was so sfortunato of me to find out this exactly 4 days before the trip.


Why???? It was my favorite jogging shoe, and I even use it for the gym. Had it for almost 3 years, a solid witness for all the jogging, squash-ing dates with mrKAF during the varsity years. The next day, I sent it to the cobbler to get it glued. I thought it would fix the problem but nope, the cobbler did not glued it sincerely. Well yeah, he could have glued all of the surface, instead he just put it a bit here and there. And of course the thing did not stick nicely onto each other. Frustrated, that evening, I went out to look for a new set of shoe in Kuantan. I walk into a few stores to find any good, comfy, perfect design to my liking. At last I found this.

This ACG caught my attention, as I was also looking for a hiking shoe for the mount climbing, I thought yes this is it, and asked the salesgirl for my size.
She disappoints me by stating that they only have 1 size smaller than the size I requested. Being stubborn, I still wanna give it a try although I’d knew the outcomes. Macam kakak tiri Cinderella cik Non oi, I pushed myself to fit into it. Muat tu mmg la muat, but ketat on the side. My feet felt crushed. Hoho kesian kaki ku

The feet really needs a very comfortable, relaxed shoe to breathe in or else in my case, baru start hiking 10 mins dah saket kaki, ape cerr kan?? And for a freaking RM269 shoe, I better go and get something worthy and benefit my sole. Betol tak? So I ended did not bought anything, saket hati punya pasal I went to Starbucks for my usual Java Chips. Sejuk sket hati yang kecewa itu.

On Friday, I hurried my way to Seremban to go to the sport outlets. The first shop gave me a puzzled look when I told them about the shoe. I showed them the pictures I took, then they said

“Ohh kedai kite tak jual la kasut pelik-pelik”

and I was about to reply “Hotak hang ni kasut pelik”

I stormed off before I cursed the poor girl. Next stop was Jaya Jusco, and look what I found??

The Law of Attraction made me found this piece. It was beige-y, and noticed the pink elements? And on top of that, it was on a discount.Yeay!!

Glanced at the watch it was already near to 11pm, and I had yet to have dinner, I quickly exit to the carpark and went straight home, showered, grabbed slice of cheese and off to bed. Woke up very early, at 6.30am the next morning, sleepy as always but I was very determined to be there. Hey I skipped my cousin’s wedding crying out loud, so I better go and get it over with. You know why? I am jeopardizing my future (cewah) as I did not turn up for that wedding. To account, I actually had not been to any of Mak Long’s wedding receptions. Ok, I admit dat I felt very bad + worried. Abes aa nnt aku kawin diorg tanak dtg plak.. huhu

Around 7ish I was all set with new shoes to set my foot to Gunung Angsi.

I told “the-son-of-the-boss” mrKAF that I might “need” a new sandal. *kelip2 mata* I really hope he understood my words. :-P

teva

It’s pink and it’s Teva. *drool*

I think the climb deserve another post. Lotsa pichas to put and stories to tell. I am currently now in PJ, tired and sleepy from the activity gyg2 kaki course attended earlier today. Nanait all.






{April 11, 2008}   i.am.go.ing.ho.me

I will be busy climbing G. Angsi tmrw morning despite that Abg Khairul’s (my cousin) wedding is happen to be tomorrow as well. I have told M.Long and be sorry for not attending it. I went to the bride’s reception last weekend though, I think I could be excused. doncha think so?

If I ever died on my way back today, I wish everyone could cast Surah Al-Fatihah for me.

If I lived, I will be in PJ till Wednesday, anyone wanna take me out for a date? hahah stupid

Good bye all!

Happy weekend..



{April 9, 2008}   would you?

She so lucky…

*Jeng Jeng Jeng*

She is a star…

~Britney Spears - Lucky

Would you gave up something that is not yours? It is not about stealing here. It is more like rezeki terpijak. Things that were given to you, by mistake, accidentally by someone. Some people like me will view it as pure luck? The pleasant accident was beyond your control, not even your choice. Get it? I think I might had you guys confused.

lucky

Picture this, if you were given extra 1 month salary banked into your account. What would you do? Would you sit there happily quietly knowing you are richer by your own consent? Or would you play fair by surrendering the money back to the Finance/Account department? Both options has it’s own drawbacks. The 1st one would make you richer of course. You could use the money for future plans e.g add up your savings, go holidays, more shopping, etc.
Ohh what a pleasant feeling, for you are richer than your colleagues. (It is arrogant, I know)
In the long run, if you are caught, they will hold your future salary, open up a case for you.. Even worst, the auditors may target your account for future reference, check-ups etc. Congratulation, you will be so much in the hot seat!! On the other side, if they treat it on the easy way, they may only holding onto your next pay. Well if you are a big spender like me, you shall find yourself absolute poorer the consecutive month as you would self-indulge with the extra money earlier on.

However by choosing the latter option will make you an “honest, diligent, trustworthy” person, with a pinch of disappointment, for returning the money that WOWed you before. You won’t be charged with the compliance issue that could brought you to retrenchment. But the itchy thinking of all the “what ifs” wont make you happy as well. I may be a bit over estimate on all the consequences here, but I think you could imagine the feeling.

But who knows, maybe the money actually does belong to you. Maybe they purposely give it to you? I dont think so!!

well …emmm… maybe it’s err charity? … hmmm… :-?

well the explanation will not interest you much, no? suda soka hati dpt durian runtuh kan? :-P huhu

So what say you? komen2.. :-D



{April 6, 2008}   … and he is back

bruno

He was lost for almost 12 hours. He came home around 5.30am, and I start to nag him like an old woman scolding her son who came late from clubbin’. He got me worried and I had a sleepless night thinking of him. That’s why I was up at 5am on Saturday!! How much more impressive could that be?

His voice could barely be heard, and he looked so weak. He hadn’t had any food since 5pm the day before. I carried him to the cage, put him in slowly and let him eat the biscuits. He preferred to drink and oh boy he was really thirsty. kesian sgt..

I suspected he was cat-napped! The cat-napper might had to release him because he kept on making so much noise until the person could not sleep or something like that..


So glad you are back BRUNO. Alhamdulillah..

Earlier, I kept replaying this song the whole night. It is indeed a sad song to suit my mood on Bruno’s lost. You know me, over react at times. A definite number on my playlist whenever I am feeling blue. The magical tears will surely comes..

Hey you sweet wicked companion, this love-hate relationship need to stop. The ending is very certain. You will give a solid cold hard BYE after the series of long lot of HI-s. Dark clouds will come. Eventually lead me feeling heart squashed, dead smashed in the end. Again the song repeats..

Top Ten Things Engineering School didn’t Teach Me

  1. There are at least 10 types of capacitors.
  2. Theory tells you how a circuit works, not why it does not work.
  3. Not everything works according to the specs in the databook.
  4. Anything practical you learn will be obsolete before you use it, except the complex math, which you will never use.
  5. Engineering is like having an 8 a.m. class and a late afternoon lab every day for the rest of your life.
  6. Overtime pay? What overtime pay?
  7. Managers, not engineers, rule the world.
  8. Always try to fix the hardware with software.
  9. If you like junk food, caffeine and all-nighters, go into software.
  10. Dilbert is not a comic strip, it’s a documentary.
