I sUrViVeD…!~~ 26 October, 2006

went for camping with a few friends on sunday. it was a 3 days, 2 nights trip back to mother nature…which was a 1st for me. i’ve been hiking but not camping..so was pretty excited about going. we left in the morning after breakfast…reach the base site at bout 11am and started our hike up to the camping site. thank God i made it to the camping site..it was tiring. no, no…it was freaking tiring!! hahahha….

being in the jungle..any food prepared was heaven…porridge, canned fish, pickles, peanuts and Hup Seng crackers never tasted so good before. especially when we came down from our hike up mount angsi(which, unfortunately we din managed to climb all the way up)…i’ve never eaten that fast in my life…lolzz…it was not so much the hunger..but was more bout getting the energy back. crackers with tuna, butter, sugar and milo…*yum* *yum* hahah…;o) oh, and i also found out tht the canned mutton curry’s not bad either. hahah…talking bout food…i’m hungry now.. =p

the 1st day it was pouring cats and dogs at bout 7pm..and lo, behold! our kitchen was flooded with water. what amazes me is that the scouts went straight to work. no fingers pointing, no questions asked…everyone jst took whtever they cud find and started digging new drains around our kitchen so tht the water will flow sumwhere else. the teamwork was just amazing! well, i din knoe wht to do..so i did the next best thing. hold the torch light. hahaha…=p well, the 2nd night…we were all prepared for the rain..Adam was xtra prepared..he dig a drain around his tent. he wanna make sure his tent is dry. the minute it drizzled…all of us grabbed our raincoats and just stood/sit around waiting for the rain..which seems quite funny to me now. well, it din rain..so we sat and chatted..Adam and Lik Wei made “twist”..its egg+flour+sugar dough twisted on a stick with added sugar roasting on the fire. *yum!!*

on the 2nd day, we made our way up to mount angsi. if i said climbing up to our camp site was freaking tired…this is like 50 times worse…and we had no load on us! none of us knew how far and how high up the hike is..so we were just exploring the whole way thru. the highlight for me was when i got to climb rocks! woo hoo!! that was seriously fun..too bad i din had any pictures taken during the climb..blehhh!!~ =(

the hike down mount angsi was the worse of the worst for me..i think i was on the verge of telling the guys to leave me in the jungle. hahahha….i was so afraid that my legs will just go weak on me..i was the last one to reach our camp site..thank God i made it. whew!! now i noe that hiking up is not as bad as hiking down…after the mount angsi experience..the trail to our camp site was peanuts! hahahah…=p

all in all…i had a lot of fun on this trip..my friends showed me the leadership skills that each had in them..the teamwork that emerged…all the laughters that were shared, not forgetting their crazy antics(especially the raincoat one, HK style konon…hahahaha…). the times each of them took care of me and made sure i was okay and safe, the patience and tolerance towards me when i was lagging behind..of which i cud not thank U enuff. i think sum of them might jst in their heart say “next time…no bringing grace along!!”. hahahahah…..=p

Thanks buddies…for such a wonderful time! ^_^

P/S: yes, i got leech bite..if anyone is curious..no mosquito bites tho. ;o)

arrgghh!!!~~ 18 October, 2006

yesterday while waiting for the train at Central, someone really pissed me off…baddd.. ther i was standing at the platform, reading robert kiyosaki, patiently waiting for the train and there was this guy who was standing like 3,4 feet away from me, so i cudn be bothered. before long, he was what…5 inches away from me!! i was like….WTH?!??! the platform is so freaking big and he has to slowly back himself to stand so freaking near to me?!?!? and he thinks tht just bcuz i was reading…i din noticed what he did. that !#$%^& bugger!

when i realized he was too near to me(why shud i move!? i stood there 1st!), i made an irritating noise..loud enuff for him to hear it. if he doesnt hear it..tht means he’s deaf, so freaking near!! the fact tht he was much taller than me, n am not too sure if he was drunk or sumthin…din stop me from glaring at him. the only thing that stopped me from wanting to push him off the platform and to the tracks is that there were quite a number of people at the platform yesterday. i told myself if he were to inch his stupid self closer to me, i’ll definitely start a fight. just bcuz i was in a cheongsam, doesnt make me any weaker. that stupid annoying idiotic jerk! arrggghhhh!! pisses me off so bad! why cant ppl like tht just rot and die!?!??

energy….draining??~ 11 October, 2006

*the haze has been slightly better for the pass couple of days…*

i’ve never really understood the meaning of “energy draining” until i experienced it myself recently. it’s really very tiring listening to someone talk bout things that u already know..and when they try to preach you as tho u haven’t the slightest clue what is happening or how u should go bout doing sumthin…that is really very, very energy draining. to make it worse, they think they’re the best…the expert…the know-it-all. Goshhh……

to have them trying to point u to certain “directions”, is for me…quite annoying. i know that i’m still young..and i do have alot to learn in life..but i am no 3 yr old. everyone who knoes me understands that i’m not the typical 23 year old gurl…friends who’re close to me dun tell me what to do unnecessarily bcuz the trust, faith and believe is there. they knoe, better than anyone what i’m capable of..so when people who don’t really knoe me tries to tell me what to do.. that really gets on my nerves.

*friends: i gotta get away from SBPB…hahahhaah….my ‘bouncer’ not efficient enuff la wei…*

hAzY DayS…~ 9 October, 2006

i’m sleepy…=P

the haze is getting worse! i think it’s even worse here in sbn compared to kl..think i’m gonna lock myself indoors as long as the haze is still around..was up in kl yesterday…met up with a couple of friends..then went for dinner. i think we were sitting outside for about 3 hours..(correct?), by the time we left..my eyes was painful, my head was aching…by the time i got to Central..it was hard to breathe..as tho there’s no air at the platform. every year we get the same thing…when’s it gonna stop!?!? there is no way that we can stay indoors 24 hours a day..and not EVERYONE can jst get an air ticket and fly off to some destination faaarrrawaayyy frm our beloved country. =p

..on a happy note..

dinner was terrific! really had fun listening to the colourful storied tht kelvin shared with us. especially all the sasi stories…hahaha…i think now everytime i see him anywhere, i’ll be thinking of the stuffs kelvin told. ;o) but the highlight of the night for me was seeing adam la.. hahahaha… sorie guys…sorie adam(d other one)…no, i’m not a big fan of his…its just tht i’ve been watching him on tv for so long..it’ll be great to see if he looks the same in person or it’s mainly the makeup. =P dun worry…u guys r still my favourite..;o)

alright…i feel a headache coming on ady…i’ll stop here now…have a great week ahead friends! =D

maRriaGe…~~ 6 October, 2006

a thot just came to mind…can i marry someone whom i’ve just known and whom i’m still trying to knoe??? i dunno….i seriously dunno…come to think of it..its quite scary actually. here u are, absolutely in luv with a guy u’ve met..say bout 4 months ago. and then suddenly he pops the question….wht will you do? say yes when i noe tht i still dun quite knoe him? tell him we need more time..? hmmm….

i guess if ur blindly in love with someone…u’ll most likely say yes.. but then as an outsider, a lot of questions will pop up in mind..what is his background, what is his job background, academic histories, pass relationships, his family, his relatives, his goal in life, his dream, his plans for the future…etc etc etc….i dun think i can marry someone..unless i’ve really known them. it’s a risk ur taking when u agree to marry him..worse still when ur friends ask u certain questions bout him and u dun knoe the answer…it can get pretty embarassing..lolzz..

well..this are only my opinions on marriage…others may differ with me..;o)

*NOTE: NO, i did got get any marriage proposal from anyone…its jst tht i hav a mate who’s getting engaged and i suddenly felt doubts creeping up my head..lolzz…yes yes i noe…i shud mind my own business..but since this is my blog…i can write whtever i want! blekkk!!~~*

friDaY!!~~ 6 October, 2006

i haven really been blogging for the pass few days..work has been…shud i say..killing me! hahaha.. nahh..not to tht extend but have indeed been terribly bz at work. o-kaayy…let’s not talk bout work..;o)

it’s friday!!! woo hoo…!! heheh….not that i have anything interesting planned up over the weekend but it’s always good when the weekend comes..2 days of just relaxing, ‘lepaking’ with friends… keep me sane. which reminds me…today’s Mooncake Festival!! i always feel that mooncake festival among my friends are always counted out for. i dunno why…back in our schooling years..we’ll try to gather at someone’s place..then have a makan session, bonding session and go strolling around with our lanterns. its always funny cuz tht’s the only time u’ll see us get our hands on anything that can withhold our lanterns…feather duster, broom sticks, mosquitoes swatter(is tht wht its called?), umbrellas, mop sticks…etc…lolzzz… those were the days…

nowadays mooncake festival for me is jst a day where i’ll spend sum time with my parents and brother…jst sitting outside at our garden, eat mooncakes and sip tea( chinese tea..not earl grey or whachamacallit tea..=p ) . so i’m gonna go back early today(hopefully!)…have dinner with my parents..and spend sum time with them. gosh…ever since i started work at GE…i cant remember when was the last time i actually sat down with my parents and bro for dinner! feel so bad…=o(

Reloaded!~ 2 October, 2006

last saturday’s Reloaded! was a blast…altho the crowd was smaller compared to the 1st one.. seeing how each of us knows what our responsibilities are and knowing wht to do makes me so proud of everyone. it shows that we are improving every time, and i’m sure in time to come.. we will be able to even organize events for others if the need arises! how powerful is that!? heheh…;o)

saturday’s training was very useful..i gotta get myself a recorder cuz i noe there’s no way i can absorb every single thing that was shared on that day by our 3 very powerful and strong speakers….Reggie, Ai-Leen and Tim. oh, oh…tht brings to mind….Ai-Leen will be featured(most likely in next mth’s issue) in Her World magazine as the lady who made it big in Network Marketing. woo hoo!!~~ that is like sooooooo kewl man!! i gotta get tht issue when it comes out.. gurls(and guys)…please get an issue too. this is one heck of a kewl, strong and funny lady. am proud to knoe her…=D
