I never learn do I…? Bukit Tinggi August 26 & 27 Part One

It was not enough that I ran down the stairs for 48 floors during the conference in Bangkok(blog entry May 17, 2008) I had to volunteer myself this time around for another extraneous activity... Yes I actually voted for it, why or why my dear do you like to suffer....sucker!!!!!!!!!!

After much planning the trip planned for my practice unit is finally upon me. To be honest I am not really into going but then I supposed once a while you would have to join. They all agreed to go to Bukit Tinggi. Surprisingly when we arrived, I kindly like the surrounding.

We went to a place called Colmar Tropicale, it actually fashioned based on a French village. It is actually kind of nice. I think will plan one trip with my family up here after raya. I am sure mum will love it. It is also a place for a weekend retreat if you just want to relax and do nothing. Must of the people in my unit are below 30 so naturally most of them wants loads of activities. Here’s the itinerary, you guys those above 30) see and tell me what do you think

First Day-The Planned Gather at Genting Sempah stop at 8.30am. Arrive at 9.30am, have breakfast and start Jungle tracking at 10am. Check in and lunch at 12.30pm and bowling at 3.00pm. BBQ dinner at 8.30pm

Second Day-The Planned Breakfast starts at 7am. Gather at the pick up area at 10am to go to the Japanese Garden & Rabbit Farm. 12pm check out.

OMG… are you guys kidding??? And this is what actually happened

First Day-What Happened Gather at Genting Sempah stop at 8.40am. Arrive at 9.30am, have breakfast and start Jungle tracking at 11am finished at 1.30pm (The bloody jungle tracking took two and a half hours). Check in and lunch at 2.30pm and bowling at 4.30pm. BBQ dinner at 8.30pm

Second Day-The Planned Breakfast starts at 9am. Gather at the pick up area at 10.30am to go to the Japanese Garden & Rabbit Farm (Only 6 showed up the rest including me bailed muahahaha…I just sat and had my French breakfast without any care for the world and the plan). 12.30pm check out.

Arrival

When we arrived at the actual place, I was very impressed with the view. It is rather pretty and at certain points reminds me of Europe. Ahhh how I wish I am actually in Europe. As always, when going in groups like this, itinerary hardly matters. Gone with the wind, we just keep taking pictures though Madam Organizer did look a bit worried……..

As to what happened after this keep reading... In my next post.

Bye Bye Little Bro... See ya in 6 months......

Nothing much happened last week. Only ran a couple of errands for the family. Starting with Thursday night or rather Friday morning, where we went to KLIA to send off my brother. He off to work in Doha for another 6 months.

Here are some pictures taken whilst waiting for him to check-in

Tina & Arif.... sisterly love...

Me & Arif

Nightlight @ KLIA... nice

Then on Saturday another sisterly errands, had to take Tina to find her a coat/pant and shirt for her interview. There was a good offer at “The Brands” outlet in Ikano Power Centre. Found a good bargain for a jacket, buy one free one. So Tina now is the owner of 2 jackets. Good for her.

Then on to One Utama to find a grey pant for her. Wow it was really difficult for her to find the pants that will suit her new jacket. Lucky for us that we had decided to have our lunch first before continuing with our shopping spree. We had lunch at Seoul Garden. It is a Korean BBQ restaurant.

Here are some pictures. Nice surrounding but the food was not the great.

The Seoul Garden & The Steamboat Pot.. yummy... yummy

In case you guys are wondering.. there were so little prawns on the grill it was becuase Tina ate all of it, har har and here's the photo evidence

And here is yours truly.. with her favourite red Baby-T. Note to self must buy new cool shirts.. must go shopping again

Melancholy Me….I know not why but I do anyway

I know not why the sky is gray
But cloudy they stayed like the darkest day
I know not why they seems that way
But they do anyway

I know not why I miss you so
But miss you I do every second of the day
I know not why I feel this way
But I do anyway

I know not why life is full of challenge
But challenged I am every waking moment
I know not why it is this way
But face them I do everyday

I know not what decision to make

But make it I would sooner that later
I know not how my journey will end
But journey I will for it is god’s bidding

I know not that my castle is mine
But I go home to it everyday
I feel not the warmth I long to embrace
But I promise to seek it for the rest of my days

Why oh why do I feel this way
Sad and gloomy every other day
I do not want to feel this way
Melancholy Me please don’t stay

Of Chili crabs, friends and family…..July 16, 2008

Yeay finally I have something interesting to write in this blog. Last weekend I went to one of my favorite eating spots. (Talk about having loads and loads of favorite spots to eat). Chili Crab at Taman Mega. Yummy.

I was joined by Muzi, my sis Tina and Dada, Arif my brother and Nurman, Dada’s BF. It is difficult actually to explain how nice the food tasted so I have decided to put up a before and after picture. You guys makeup your own mind…..

Very very "hungy" already weiii

Yo tina... are "hungy"?

Oh my god... gone in 60 seconds or less.... burp!!! me so full and "happies"

Har - har the last pic are of my bruf... handsome tak?????. Ni kira gratis gitu...

An open letter to Sir Alex and the one I use to adore

I have been meaning to write this open letter. I am thinking of posting this to MEN as well as MU forum (if I don’t chicken out).

I am a football fanatic, I used to love Liverpool but then I committed the greatest of sins (one that can be committed by a football fan I supposed) I changed allegiance. I now bleed red.. red devil that is.

I fell in love with MU the season when they were down in points against Arsenal, but they closed rank (I cannot remember what season but I know that was Beck’s last season with MU.. details are such a chore) and chased after Arsenal and won the league. From telecast of the match, from the articles I read I could see, I could feel the desire and determination of each player to chase after Arsenal and overtake them. I remembered one match, the determination shone through Gary’s eyes and many others……It was awesome. That’s when I fell in love. If a club produce such feeling than this is my club. Bye bye Pool, it had been good but I am gonna be great with MU.

I never thought you could hurt us so much

This is the club I want to support. This is the club I now choose to support….

And last season my club won the double, all through summer I should have been celebrating basking in the glory of the team I support, looking forward to the new season going into the Champion League not only as the Champion of England but also the defending Champion League Champion (mind you being in Malaysia, some of the telecasts means that I would have to wake up at around 3am in the morning on a working night just to watch my team playing. You want slavery??? That is what I go through every season is..) and what did I get.. this will I go will I not… I am a slave. If a slave is given such love and adored and protected take me then, make me a slave.

Gone were the days when you.. I adore my dear

Maybe it is a foolishness of youth that makes one act with such childish petulance and selfishness I do not know, but should we condone it???.

I may be one that stands alone in being sick of all this, I may not. I don’t care. All I know I am sick of it, as a fan I did not really enjoy, I could not enjoy the fact that my team won the double… this is my time you know, to enjoy and savor…..

So to Sir Alex, if he wants to go let him go. Yes we might loose a talented player, the best player in the world so what, football has always been and will always be a team game. We will find others, maybe not this year but we will. Club should always come first. Whisper it softly but whisper it still, if this is the treatment I get as a fan, then I would rather have a Fletcher, an O’Shea, or a Smithy who would give it all for MU.

Monday Muse.. Blog Entry June 30

Yeayy after all the pain of last week, I had a good weekend. Like I said, on Saturday, I went to see an old colleague of mine. It was indeed a nic surprise, a meeting with a friend turned out to be a meeting with friends.

We had coffee and cakes at Pick & Brew. Nice really nice, chit chat a bit. What topic???? what else but “The Betrayal”. (Note to self: Hmmm this sounds like a nice title for a historical romance novel or in the case of my sister Angah, a good title for a feminist literature. Har … har I wonder in what kind of alternate universe would a book entitled “Ravished” be a book that could be classified as a feminist literature)

We also took the opportunity to update ourselves on what’s been happening in our lives as it has been about 3 – 4 months since we last met. Anyway AJ used to be my roommate in the old office. She has now managed to free herself from the domain of The Betrayer. Oh how I sometimes envy her. I am nevertheless glad to see that AJ and my other friend looking so healthy and happy. Kudos to them for having the courage…. I hope someday I would have one too…

AJ and LML at pick & brew.

Me in my red Canadian Baby-T

Whilst I was there, I received a call from my co-conspirator. She bought me a book to cheer me up. Yeay looking forward to reading that book. Thanks Muzi.

On Sunday, I took mum and my sis Tina out. First for breakfast, went all the way to tangling only to be thwarted by the fact that the “Nasi Lemak” is finished. Waaarrghhh I want my normal Sunday “Nasi Lemak”. So we went to my second weekend spot at DU. After breakfast we went looking for some stuff for Tina as she has an interview this Monday…. Me such a good daughter and sister… muahahahaha!!!!!!!

Sorry Anne, I could not squeeze you in as well. We went to 1U to get something for Tina. Maybe sometime next week we can arrange to have dinner or at least coffee. At night I went out again to run some errands. This time it was me and Tina. Mum, I think was too tired to go out again. Found myself at Borders. And when at Borders do buy some books… arggh nothing beats retail therapy. Guess what was the title for one of the books I bought...

Here’s some of the books I bought… get the hint anyone????
