One activity that relaxes the mind but challenges ones patience

DAMN!!!! it has been months i havent logged on onto this blog.ahaks.been very busy.anyways,in january,we had a programme held at the Bukit Cerakah,Shah Alam.so while others were busy jumping up and down,laughing away,cheering here and there non-stop,we have actually found a spot of silence,serene and peace. we brought along my dad's fishing rods and equipments and tried our luck in catching at least one fish!

hahaha.. we were so unprepared that we actually had to 'mengemis' for baits from this couple which were very kind indeed to share some with us. hahahaha.. the wait was KILLING, but the environment,relaxing and best!! we did caught a few weird fishes,but we had to let them go.. a few died before sempat dilepaskan. hahahaha.. well, enjoy the pics.

ikan hantu? species haruan,sembilang and etc.

.pepatung yg datang menyinggah.

peaceful

okay people. thats for now.hopefully there would be better and more exciting activities that we could share in our blog.

Pepper and Bree (two little kittens up for Adoption)

my family is moving to another house.and we have two adorable kittens pepper (the white one) and bree (not the white one) ;) SADly,we couldnt bring them along with us to our new home. =(

looking at how cute they are and since i cant see them being left alone and abandoned,i am putting them up for free adoption. they have been treated with ubat cacing (antihelminthic) once, and later in feb,there's another appointment, to ensure that they have been totally dewormed.so,no worries.they just need a proper and loving home. details about pepper and bree.

D.O.B:15 December 2005
Pepper:Male
Bree:female
Mommy:not up for adoption.heheh.

they are now so playful and jumpy and extremely cute!! so,hopefully.any of you who happens to come across this blog and wish to adopt pepper and bree,pls mail me.

from left to right:Bree,Pepper.
Bergurau senda

Pepper alone. Aaaawwww. ;)

PART IV

later that day,headed back to camp.but the 'abang2' there asked us to leave our bags,cameras,shoes in our rooms.when we asked them about the next activity,all they said was'cepat sikit,nnt tak sempat'.most of us ran back to our rooms,left our stuff,and jumped back into the water bus.hahaha.since we have to take turns,those yang dah naik dulu,tiba2 kene simbah dengan air!!HAHAHAHAHA!best!after satu boat dah penuh,the next one pulak pick up passengers.and after all 4 boats dah penuh,the game begins.

sebenarnye,the game is called rapid shooting.the 'kemudi' tu akan drive the boat upstream and when the other boat pass by kitorg akan splash air into the other boat and vice versa.at the same time,air yg collected inside the boat had to be removed.mcm team work!semua org berusaha!hahahaha.. best sangat. ade yg almost got drowned!! hahahaha. finally about 2 km away from the jetty,we stopped.and we were allowed to go swimming!the current was not that strong but adela a few of us yg nyaris being carried away by the current.we took some pics but i dont have it here.30 minutes of playing in the river,then we blk camp.we enjoyed every moment.

Malam tu,ada game.format mcm survivor.but we had to answer questions.unfortunately,it was nothing about artists or tv shows or who married who.the questions were on plants and our subject pharmacognosy.hahahaha.weird.tp best.dpt hamper.and that's it for day two in Taman Negara.best!

DAY 3

today,last day in Taman Negara.since the camp takde plan for us in the morning,so we asked permission from them to walk to the nearest waterfall.not everyone joined the trip as we had to walk around 1 hour into the forest, to get to the waterfall.one good hour but a very memorable and interesting one.we passed by an orang asli village on the way.plus the view was just so beautiful and serene,plus bunyi2 cengkerik and burung and animals in the forest.it was so mind relaxing.since we susur the sungai,bunyi waterfall,mind relaxing!it was rather tiring,but worth the effort.

rumah orang asli.cute.small.but they have something that we ordinary ppl dont.try to figure out what it is.

waterfall.calming.mind relaxing.mesmerizing.cooling.

hurm.technically we didnt go there simply for having fun.we did learn alot of things.Prof.did give an explaination about the rainforest.he even tought us how the orang asli amek damar from pokok damar.educational yet very laid-back and enjoyable.best sangat!hahahaha.

lepas mandi air terjun and listening to prof's explanation about damar trees.

more explanations!best!

after all the explanations,we headed back to camp,pack our bags,our stuff,got ourselves ready,had lunch and we gathered at the jetty.this is our Goodbye to Nusa Camp, Taman Negara.we had the best time of our lives,we enjoyed the whole 3 days in Taman Negara.

.byebye.

prior to departure =(

well,as mentioned on the above, we really enjoyed our stay in Taman Negara.we will always cherish the moments we had and spent and hopefully,we all the 48 of us will gather back in Taman Negara for our second group trip! yeay!This picture was taken on top of Bukit Warisan.so i guess, that is it,(alot!!) about our trip to Taman Negara.well.good moments are never to be forgotten.InsyaAllah,we will meet again.till then.byebye.

bye!!!

Taman Negara Part III

Sambung,third entry for Taman Negara trip.today is 'the' day.got up really early in the morning,had a fresh but freezing shower [air from air terjun,somewhere nearby],nasi lemak for breakfast.Quite heavy for hiking but good enuff to give us all the energy.our backpacks were all packed with drinking water bottles,packets of biscuits and whatever that we feel like carrying. we followed the same route we took for the night walk, but since its in the day so,we know where we're going.

the destination was BUKIT WARISAN.ingat bukit rendah mane.but it proves us wrong.the journey uphill was so tiring and tiring and exhausting!i brought 3 drinking bottles and by the time we reached the top,it was all finished! the scenery from the top was MasyaAllah.mesmerizing.we definitely got bird's eye view. the ever green mountains, the river down in the valley.Subhanallah.God is so great. it took us a good 4 hours of climbing. dengan segala peluh,and lapar [despite the nasi lemak we had in the morning]. it was a great satisfaction to finally get to the top where it was so cooling and fresh and relaxing with amazement and believe that Allah is indeed SO GREAT. Dah sampai atas tu, Took LOADS OF PICS AND VIDEOS. everyone was really happy and so excited and enjoying moments. i did get a few shots.




After a good 45 minutes, we walked our way down back to camp.seriously,its even difficult to get down,Sakit Lutut.tp,xpelah.by the time we got down,some happy ones, still full of Energy,took the chance by racing back to camp.good and happy moments.even i raced back to camp with my friend. =p owh yes.i almost forget. on the way up and on the way down, we were shown and tought the name of some plants. the guides who brought us,they know their thing really well.i did took secebis kayu pokok sarsi.best!there's just too much to mention.=]

enjoy the pics ya.

Noon.
after a stomach-full of delicious meal,and after zuhur,we got back on the water bus and headed to the canopy-walk.remote gile.there's no special signboard nor even a proper jetty at the canopy walk.weird kan?still,we had to go uphill to get to the 'waiting area' before we get onto the canopy walk.we had to go in a group of five, and we have to keep a 5 metres distance from the person infront of us. so basically,jalan sorg2 and syok sendiri.hahahaha.they even tought us how to walk on it coz the 'jambatan gantung' tu leh thn goyang jugak lah.hahaha.what an experience.this i must say is the best time to overcome ur fears of height.At one point,jambatan tu was going up the trees,and we actually got a birds eye view.mesmerizing.satu je xbest.ada byk insects atas pokok tu.menyemak je.kdg2 they fly into ur eyes.nama insect tu 'kelulut'.i totally recommend everyone to try they canopy walk in Taman Negara.Best!Nah,gambar.

Taman Negara Part II

on our way to Nusa Camp.as i said earlier,15 minutes away from Kuala Tahan jetty.the best part was,the scenery.totally mesmerizing and mind-relaxing.besides that,we were going against the current!and when sampai kat jeram..weeeeeeeeeeee!!it went all bumpy and we got wet sbb air masuk dlm boat!but best sangat!!really2 enjoyed it!at first it was quite scary.but then it became really fun.

this is the man who navigated the 'water bus' upstream!

mesmerizing and so green.Subhanallah.Allah is so GREAT!
well,this is not my favourite shot though.

that's the second 'water bus'.those in that boat were all soaked up,sbb kat jeram tu the navigator refused to slow down!hahahahahaha.

huanying!huanying!lai Nusa Camp!best!kesian tourist lain sbb we all ramai!tp sangat meriah.the food was really good.they served ikan sungai,e.g.ikan keli.of course it tasted so good!
the surrounding area at the camp is clean,neat and proper.not too fancy,but comfortable enough!

after we've settled our things etc,and after maghrib,at around 730p.m we in 3 groups went for a night walk.masukla hutan.tepi hutan.but it was different,because the guides know their stuff well.we stopped at a "mata air" and he asked us to tutup our torchlights.it was dark,but slowly nampak glitters of lights.fireflies.Amazing!pastuh,he even told us where we could find a female tarantula spider.cun kan?but obviously we had to keep our distance away from the pokok,coz tarantulas can jump up to a few meters.jauhkan?and definitely it can bite and kill.the walk took us i think a good 1hours 30 minutes.since we got back at the camp quite early,9 pm maybe,so we played games.best sangat!started off with 'goreng pisang' game.hahaha.fun!

we did 3 rounds of 'goreng pisang' and pastuh dah boring so,the camp people taught us all new games.which was even more fun than 'goreng pisang'.too bad,i misplaced my camera that day,so i didnt manage to take pictures of us all.but hey it was a lot of fun.the second game we played,mmg tricky habis.1,2,3,4,5,6,[name of an animal].so who fails to come up with an animal,kalah.best sangat.mcm2 nama animals keluar malam tuh.hahahahahaha.we had loads of fun!

we went to bed at around 12 plus.and all so excited for the next day.ok.so sambung next part.part III.ciao.

Taman Negara 2005 - Part I

30th September 2005,is a date to remember.We together with our 43 other classmates departed from campus to Kuala Tahan,to experience Taman Negara.it is actually 'camping sambil belajar' but,it is definitely not any other typical boresome the-sambil-belajar thing u know.infact it was the best of all class trips organized.we went in one bus and a van.blame those at p*&^%$%$.Anyways,we left Shah Alam around 12 something(noon la).the journey took us a good 6 hours of munching,sleeping(&snoring),menjerit2 and borak2(plus gossiping) to reach Kuala Tahan,our destination.but the journey was fun though.memang lah bonding session between us classmates sbb hari biasa,busy with our own life.so,we did lots of catching ups with the latest gossips etc..etc..hahaha.pakcik bus tu drive slow.tp,xpelah.biar lambat asal selamat.=).we reached Kuala Tahan at 6 and the guy or the guide were already there waiting for us.(sian,lama menanti.)=)

this pic down here is taken before we left campus.Al-maklumlah.janji bertolak kol 11.tp,it's actually an hour later.Aaaaah.biasalah tu.yang penting,by 11,i was already there together with a few others who quite understands the meaning of Punctuality.(muhahahahaha!)oklah.pagi tu ade class,habis lambat.hehe.i wont name my friends here,but my friends do look happy and excited and... excited!

korg tak takut kene gigit pacat ke?

Leeches?my girlfriends packed themselves with all kinds of insect repellent.obviously!i brought along a bottle of shieldtox.i'm not afraid of it but i'm so GELI with leeches!hahahaha.most probably,org lain pon geli jugak.biasalah.kdg2 takut jugak.but buat2 xtakut so that i wont get too paranoid if it got onto my skin.eeeuww!!

6p.m(the same day)upon arrival.........TADAAAAAA!!INI WILAYAH CELCOM!can u see that blue and white err..poster?banner?muhahahahah!how cool is that man?ade signal ok and full bar!sempatla nak give my mom a ring to tell her that we've reached Kuala Tahan safely in one piece.hehehe.by then we were all so excited and xsabar2 to ride the 'water bus'.hahaha.i did get a few shots before we "board" the water bus.cool!oh yes,the air there is so clean and fresh.xmcm kat kl.busuk!bau exhaust,carbon monoxide!(tarik nafas dalam2,and lepas.)aaaaaaaaaaah!bestnyer kat kuala Tahan.Biarla masuk ceruk mana,kampung orang,but u cant get anything like this in KL.obviously!

okay,so the first picture,on the upper left,i took it upon arrival.can u see the big smiles?most probably not.but u can tell that these friends of mine are all soo ready! to enjoy our weekends in Taman Negara.the second pic on the upper right is the view from the bank.u see,in KL it rained alot.but actually,it didnt rain that much in this part of the country,thus the water level dropped.i almost forgot,KL ujan through cloud seeding.haha.look at the pic again.THAT! is the water bus that i mentioned earlier.cool,kan?and then, that's the current jetty.my lecturer tgh kira org to board the first 'water bus'.i was amongst the first 13 lucky passengers!yeeeehaaaa!Nusa Camp!Here we come!

Nusa Camp?that's where we were heading to.the place where we stayed.best ok.the journey from Kuala Tahan to our camp is only 15 minutes.it would've been hours of we were from Kuala Tembeling.the 'old' jetty.so,we did save a few hours.but missed a few hours of boat rides.xkisahlah.it was fun & scary at the same time!tp best! enjoy the rest of the pics.i'll continue with part II later.

view from the bank

Smile girls!

it says "Welcome to Taman Negara"

Cobra 2005

9th September 2005, we went to KJ stadium to watch the most-anticipated-for rugby tournament COBRA. well, unfortunately, i only had to watch the school kids play. there were i think 10 selected teams all together. i only remembered a few, SESMA, SAS, BROADWATERS from England, one from Sarawak, another one from Singapore, and a few more which i can hardly remember. lastly, COBRA Jr. team. Anyways, the day was bright and fine and it gets very hot at noon. i did get a few shots on the boys on the field.final results, champion goes to COBRA, second place SESMA.ni for teams below 18.the 'in' thing is teams org dewasa. COBRA,newzealand,australia,fiji (these are rugby clubs la.ala sume org pon tau kan?)and there were also NS wanderers,etc etc.He went.i didnt.but i still enjoyed the games that i watched.

hooo. look at this one.eeeeeyah!eeeeeeyah!push!push!hahaha.i am so amazed with the concept of the game.its pretty difficult to describe actually sbb i dont quite know the terms.

yang ni pulak.can u see.one of the boys are lying on the ground.waiting for his teammates to rescue the ball in his hands before it got snatched away by the opponents.the boy in blue and yellow jersey,on the right side of no.7, he's calling his other teammates to come nearer.

hurm..someone's DOWN.someone's joint got dislocated.oh nooo!Call in the paramedics!Hurry up boy!

oo ow!watch it!watch it!Dia nak tergolek!hahaha.i love this pic so much.but how i wish i have a more errr..canggeh camera to capture this shot!

anyways,i enjoyed taking the pics and enjoyed watching the game. this is my first time though but i've watched rugby games back in campus.all in all,it was an enjoyable and memorable day.

Happy Holidays!

Finally, exams is sooo Over! Aahahaha! HEAVEN! now i can do anything i like. i dont have to read all those oh-so-Byk Notes! Hahahahaha. Final exams started 3 days after raya! oh stress kan?? and had to wait for a 'good' 3 WEEKS for it to finally end! worst still, raya pon dah nak habis. =(

well, anyways. this is the book that i've been wanting to read. The rule of Four. it is something like Dan Brown's Da Vinci's Code. muheheh. bought it 6 months ago, and baru nak bace. okay.toodles!

 

Azlan Shah Cup 2005

Malaysia Vs India

5th Jun, Joe and I went to the National Hockey Stadium, BJ.. konon2 nak witness the winning game of Malaysia against India. however, the game was not good at all!! i repeat! NOT GOOD AT ALL!! i am sure they can do better than that tp mcm tulah.. so inconsistent.. they win a game today, tomorrow, they lose so badly.. *Sigh.. u can see the picture.. mase tuh, India tgh attack!! haiyaak!!! heh, despite being very2 disappointed with the quality of the game which Malaysia and India showed.. we were quite excited because it has been a while since we last saw a hockey match live.. Owh, another thing.. i think Roslan Jamaluddin should be given the credit for his superb-reflex which had indeed saved Malaysia from losing to India with a big margin! hisk.. kesian die.. and i definitely think, the Hockey players cannot depend on the penalty shot given, they should try for a field-goal instead.. sbb when they depend so much on penalty shots, diorg cam, takde GOAL! masuk D je, nak carik kaki.. to me, that's the LAST resort.. tp, selagi boleh cuba for field-goal, why not?? right?

and this pic here, includes the two teams that have managed to go to the finals.. korea and australia. walaupon Australia menang through Golden-not-so-golden Goal [sbb ergh.. stress] tp, i still think that, Korea is the best team this time.. extra credits to the koreans because all their players are juniors.. and kodi la Aussie sbb key players sume senior.. at least now we know that malaysia, korea, india, newzealand, and team2 lain dah turunkan junior team.. we enjoyed the game.. walaupon the teams that we supported kalah. takpe.. next year, hopefully, Australia tak menang.. [jhtnye!!] hehehe.. :p


we had loads of fun!!
till then, ciao.
