I thought I would never see her again until next year...
God is so amazing...when we kind of plan to meet, we didn't make it BUT when we didn't plan to, we did met...
It was this morning when I was coming out from Gasing Hill, then I saw this girl with pony tail wearing a T-shirt which seems familiar to me. Then I thought, "Is that her or not?" while pacing after her. Well her uncle's car parked just 2 cars behind my sister's car. So, with uncertainty I just stand while waiting for his car to passed by, in the mean time chatting to my group of hiking friends.
As the car passed by, I saw her and Bingo! is really her, I just waved my hand and she waved back to me, I could tell from her expression that she was shocked and surprised to see me there...I did felt unexpected though...unexpected to see her before the new year arrive...she's going to Penang tomorrow morning, I guess. Wishing her a safety journey and enjoy! :)

Rainy Days and Mondays
Rainy Days and Mondays
The Carpenters
Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.
What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

where they went?
where they went or when they're gone?
yesterday I wore, tomorrow it's gone without realizing that it's gone, it might be stolen or borrowed by someone else without my permission, or have I placed it to a place that I couldn't remember where I put, a long ponder, and wonder, end with along sigh.
I was talking about my recently lost sunglasses which I wear while driving. I didn't know how, when, and where, and also why it happens. Did I dropped it somewhere? I just realize it was gone when I want to use it, as I opened the sunglasses box, I was shocked that it's gone!
another thing is the "The Phantom of The Opera" VCDs. I thought that I kept it in the glass cupboard where I put all my cassettes, CDs, VCDs and DVDs, but when I want to watch it I couldn't find it. I was wondering where it went? It went for a vacation? No way! My brain was trying to fool me or my memory doesn't want to help me to remember when it's gone or where I placed it. I wish they will be back by their own. This wouldn't be happening though, sigh. I'm being crazy now without knowing where they are. Sad case for me. :(

The story stopped at the moment...
As the title spelled the meaning of my thoughts, if you happened to view my blog regularly you might remember that there is a blog I started with "Let's the story begin..." or some thing similar...due to less of inspirations and ideas, so the story was stopped halfway...it might be the end of the story or I might continue the story, maybe part 2 of the story will continue, I can't promise...just maybe...but maybe not this year, it might be next year...or several years from now...can't make a decision right now, sorry for the long crapping...too free at the moment...signing out...

UTAR trekkaton 2007 at Bukit Gasing
well...I didn't know about this until I get to know from 1st aid society that they need first-aider~BIG sigh...I should be the participant NOT the 1st aider, waiting for mosquito to feed on my blood!
I know the actual event on that day itself...which was last Sunday, 18 November 2007
women champion took 18 minutes while men champion took 11 minutes to finish...congrats and well done!
there is one guy who actually feel giddy or dizzy during the race~sigh (lousy guy, long time didn't exercise?) no offense ya...
overall it's good, participants not reach 100...maybe the publicity not large enough..but it's a good start..at least this is one of the thing that I dare myself to suggest for it (I suggested marathon, in the end they made it to trekkaton at Bukit Gasing, PJ)
this trek wasn't the usual trek that I take almost every Saturday, I bet it is far shorter than my usual trail...it shows by the time taken to finish the race...it couldn't compare with my usual trail which took at least 50 minutes to finish by running...
maybe it (this trekkaton) was tough for beginners...but I think it's ok for the amateurs and regulars
top 3 of each category received medals, only the champions received UTAR's navy jacket and medals..(certificates? this should ask from UTAR DSA)
sandwiches and energy drinks at the finisher line...

11/11 Genting Trailblazer 2007
as the title reveals
it was an exciting and tiring trail
it has to go by 2 in a team (means must have a partner) because there are places where you need to help one another. (there is reason for each rules and regulations, agree?)
up and down
balancing
crawling
sticky mud underneath: you could hardly pull up your leg once it stuck in! (the depth of the sticky mud can reach until your knees, and the muddy water could reach your waist or shoulder, depends on your height)
after this there is another 30- 50 m run to reach the finisher line...
the effect: all wet, muddy, sweaty, dirty...(dirtiest moment in my life)
categories include:
mild women: 8 km (I participated with my partner, my sis joined last year), wild women: 14 km (my sis participated with her partner)
also mild mix, wild mix, mild men, wild men, mild veteran, wild veteran.
only top 3 of each category got the prizes...which include cash.
some take shortcut (dangerous path) to be fast, end up fell and fainted
some pull along the partner until the partner fell in order to win the top 3, but in the end couldn't make it (that's a bit cruel, in my perspective, what do you think?)
I mean just experienced it and have fun! Not to take it too serious, it's a bad thing happen when you hurt your partner physically and emotionally (ruined the fun and relationship).
If the prize is meant for you, you will get it...
I realized that "hop-ping" in muddy water is kind of fun (maybe because I do it with my partner), but the 1st attempt I was like "eww" then I get used and feeling excited to do it...the 2nd and the rest...

Ekiden Run 4th November 2007
Venue: Putrajaya
Ekiden in Japanese means passing a thing (messages) from one station to another...It meant a relay run in this event. A team of five...
This run is with the purpose, "Look to the East" also meant for Japan-Malaysia friendship.
The 1st Ekiden Run was in 1994 at Dataran Merdeka, K.L. (my dad joined)
This is the 2nd Ekiden Run in 2007 at Putrajaya. (wow, about 13 years apart!)
The sponsor promised that this event will repeat annually if this year's event in success.
The Japanese people (the previous champion came from far east to Malaysia to challenge us! and they managed to get 2nd place, this year's champion was the black man for men category)
One day before the actual event the sponsor showed us the past year event (some run until vomit, run as fast as possible)
I realized that nowadays, we didn't actually run for the winning purpose, especially my team (that's why we put our team name: Run For Fun) and yet, we made it to 1st runner up for women open category.
1st time at this age I managed to get 2nd position (proud, not just a medal but 2 medals and a trophy! so happy! :)) and it was fun and excited during the run...just because of my loose shoe lace, our team being defeated by the champion from an institute...(they looks like they have been training hard, since I'm the 3rd person to run, when it came to me my team was at the 2nd position already...too bad, quite tough for me to 'chase' after them)
We have to wear a sash (the one like wear on miss 'something') while running...only can take out at the changing zone. For my team it's red colour (women open category)
Get to know new friend, Michelle, my competitor, also women category (she said she's addicted to run, her team get 3rd position, great!)
It was FUN, but somehow I felt my right knee was in pain a few hours after the run...

Fainted!?
"You think you are superwoman?", said the doctor in a jokingly manner.
That was after I had a cup of milo, a few minutes after I awoke from 'comma'.
Yes, I was fainted just after I felt dizzy when the nurse was trying to draw out blood from my arm, where I was holding a capped glass tube (to pump the blood).
Feeling dizzy, I told her, "I'm feeling dizzy...."
In a blink of an eye, I heard the sound of something or someone fell and everything went dark (black out!).
I don't know how long, but when I started to open my eyes the same nurse asked, "Can you hear my voice?"
I just nodded, don't have the energy to speak and my eyes closed again to gain more energy. I think that is the automatic reflects done by hypothalamus (a part of brain) or maybe the effector nerves?
I realized that I am the one who fell when I heard the sound of my own 'falling down', kind of weird though I really thought that it was another person.
According to my maid, I was carried by 3 or 4 persons to the ECG room for a rest, closed my eyes and let my self lying on the bed, sleep straight like a 'corpse'!
The group of people were chatting and laughing at what's happened to me. Even my maid laughed at me! (I think I would do the same too after all the worries, she told me she was worried at 1st and was thinking of calling home to ask for help)
Me too laughed at myself after I regain my energy (after eating a bun).
Well, it's my fault, I thought it's no big deal of drawing blood out for blood test even after hiking and was fasting (drank 1 liter of plain water)...I did felt hungry...starving actually.
But too bad, my body was really weak..as the nurses said, "She's hypo." I was thinking, "What does 'hypo' means?" One of them answered, "Your glucose level wasn't at the normal level, it's deficient." Then, I realized, "Hey, it makes sense! Hypo (hypotonic) means lots of water and not saturated while hyper (hypertonic) means saturated solution."
Just before I fainted, the nurse said, "Your blood pressure is normal, your heart beat is normal. Now I am going to draw blood from your arm, hold this tube tight." Then, the needle was injected to mu blood vessels, I could feel the blood was drawing out, but then suddenly I felt my arm numb and no energy, spontaneously felt dizzy and "Tum!" I there I lied on the floor, unconscious until I was awaken by the noises and helped to be seated. (this is when I nodded that I heard) Then, I was advised to take a rest, lying on the bed, closing my eyes, was shifted to another room. (this is where I took a cup of water, milo, and a piece of bun)
I remembered that I told someone that I haven't experience the feeling of fainted before this...but now I did!

Kuantan TC Run...21 October 2007
Starting point at Teluk Chempedak (TC), finisher line also the same but include the beach (tough, running on sand).
is a 10 km run...but real distance is 9.6 km...passed by 3 traffic lights...3 right turnings after the traffic lights...passed by restaurants...people look excited and stared at the runners...runners then felt nervous and ran as fast as they could...about half the distance, there was a water station...2 type: energy (salt) water and mineral water (in cup)
as usual, have free drinks and food, and finisher medal, as well as certificate (in goodies bag), after finish the run...stations of drinks (from sponsors)...queue up for the drinks (energy drink, milo), fruits (water melon)

Gunung Angsi...ADVENTUROUS or DANGEROUS?
Gunung Angsi is situated at Hutan Lipur Ulu Bendul, Negeri Sembilan.
1st hour walked passed by waterfalls at right side...
2nd hour started hiking...crossed some streams and boulders...
one part quite steep, about 70 degree...looks like Bukit Gasing, the tough part but this is longer, and dryer...except when it's raining, all will be wet and slippery (happened when coming down the mount)
The adventurous part is the 90 degree, left and right are 'hills of soils' (no boulders, no steps, nothing to hold but only old-half-broken ropes tied on trees' bark on the right side of the hills, just soils), middle is 'hole', ...not sure how high but definitely, I think even worst than human made-rock climbing (but never try before)...because no rock for your feet to step on, just soils...
The ropes are dangerous to hold on...because they are old and looks like split-half-broken...so, it's advisable to hold, use the rope once per person...(too many people at once, the rope might be broken because it's too heavy) ...and it happened to the girl in front of me...so unfortunate that even though she hold the rope on her own but, the rope broken as she tried to pull herself up using the rope, maybe she's too dependent on the rope...or maybe just her luck...no judgment should be made and no one should be blamed...I felt so sorry for the girl who fell on the left side of the hills..somehow, the root of tree 'poking out' among the left hill's soils 'poked' at her left-hind head...Ouch! This caused the blood 'running' down from the wound like stream...as the nurse said, "I could feel the pressure" when she hold the wound with her fingers using alcohol swabs (the third one, and the last one)...She continued, "If I let off my hand I scared the blood will 'pumped' out as the water pumped out from the hose!"... my sis felt dizzy and sat at the side as she saw the blood dripping down from the head (wound, hole that caused 5 stitches), at the same time I felt so lucky, and God had saved my life! but had 'sacrificed' the girl in front of me...OMG! It happened just in front of me!!! And I was stunned as she fell onto the middle 'hole' to the left side (from the rope hanging at the right side swing to the left, drop or fell and hit the tree's root) while I was on the right side...I have no idea how to cross over the 'hole' and help her ...the man in front (who climbed up the adventurous a.k.a. dangerous part) came down quickly to the left side of the hill as he heard the sound of broken rope...and help to sit her at a proper place, which is just beside my feet (at least, it's safe and stable...I always step on stable ground)...while waiting for the nurse, just behind my sis, my sis just behind me...I couldn't help much just stand aside...watched how the nurse helped...I can't help because I don't have any suitable first-aid kit, just have the usual one (plaster)...the nurse waited for our usual guide, who bring along all his first-aid kit..including medicines and bandages..etc...The wound was covered with gauzes and the head was 'wrapped' around with long strap of plaster-type of tape. This accident sends a WARNING and act as a reminder to me, next time hiking, should bring along more first-aid kit, not just a piece or two of plasters...even though you know the knowledge and procedure to provide first-aid, but without the first-aid kit, you are the same as the 'useless', not helpful person! And it is very important to have a courage to hold the wound...I did felt like a useless person...but I did help the nurse though...to hold the first-aid kit's bag...
the patient said calmly, "This is my second time having this similar head injury." Everyone was shocked! I was thinking, "If that so, you should have learn the lesson from the 1st accident! But still, maybe is not her fault..is the rope not being 'helpful' but 'helpless'!"...I mean the rope is supposed to help us to climb up NOT fall down! So, do NOT depend much on ropes...especially ropes that look 'fragile'...be careful on every step you take!
the patient wasn't scared at all, still she able to joke about her head bandage, she joked, "Ha, new hat fashion!" Good that she has a strong mental, wins over her physical injury...that made her able to go down the hill until reach Seremban specialist hospital...paid hefty sum for the stitches, medical treatment, and medicines...sigh...
another point is gloves, they are very helpful esp. in holding the ropes, and trees' roots and barks and even mud and soils...gloves help to protect our hands...so, you wouldn't be worrying about getting your hands dirty...
As a conclusion, hiking is an adventurous but dangerous hobby...and it costs!! be careful and be alert always..be aware of the sign..once we almost went to the wrong way because didn't see the sign drawn on the ground...luckily the guide called, if not we'll lost in the jungle!
anyway, it's a good experience, even though not able to reach the peak...as someone is injured...and due to that no one have the mood to go on although it's just 30 minutes to reach the peak...at least, we learned our lesson...enjoyed water-melon and 'dim sum' during break time...delicious!
had dinner and bought 'siew pau' before heading to go home. :)

And it is very important to have a courage to hold the wound...I did felt like a useless person...but I did help the nurse though...to hold the first-aid kit's bag...
the patient said calmly, "This is my second time having this similar head injury." Everyone was shocked! I was thinking, "If that so, you should have learn the lesson from the 1st accident! But still, maybe is not her fault..is the rope not being 'helpful' but 'helpless'!"...I mean the rope is supposed to help us to climb up NOT fall down! So, do NOT depend much on ropes...especially ropes that look 'fragile'...be careful on every step you take!
the patient wasn't scared at all, still she able to joke about her head bandage, she joked, "Ha, new hat fashion!" Good that she has a strong mental, wins over her physical injury...that made her able to go down the hill until reach Seremban specialist hospital...paid hefty sum for the stitches, medical treatment, and medicines...sigh...
another point is gloves, they are very helpful esp. in holding the ropes, and trees' roots and barks and even mud and soils...gloves help to protect our hands...so, you wouldn't be worrying about getting your hands dirty...
As a conclusion, hiking is an adventurous but dangerous hobby...and it costs!! be careful and be alert always..be aware of the sign..once we almost went to the wrong way because didn't see the sign drawn on the ground...luckily the guide called, if not we'll lost in the jungle!
anyway, it's a good experience, even though not able to reach the peak...as someone is injured...and due to that no one have the mood to go on although it's just 30 minutes to reach the peak...at least, we learned our lesson...enjoyed water-melon and 'dim sum' during break time...delicious!
had dinner and bought 'siew pau' before heading to go home. :)

Hiking at Fraser's?
"I'm taking order for buying buns. What bun you want? Yam, redbean or pumpkin? How many?" she sms-ed. I replied, "2 redbean buns. Enough? Thanks!"
Then, I wonder, "Hmm, am I included or supposed to join my sis, and her friends to Fraser's? Weird, why my sis didn't tell me anything about it? Suddenly, received sms from her friend."
It's always like that...seldom communicate with my sis usually through her friends when talk about hiking...
Not actually Fraser's but is beside it, it's called Pine Hill because there is a pine tree at the entrance only. LOL...nowhere else but just the entrance...
The path is 5 hills! Ups and Downs continuous! WOW! I didn't actually count how many hills..but according to our guide, Tony Q, he said there are 5 hills, ups and downs, just like our life, people always say, "There's ups and downs in our life."
The path isn't very clear though and the ground isn't that hard...it's quite soft...I think it's better to step for 1 or 2 seconds..or else you will fall...I can't imagine how heavier people step on the ground...but luckily just some paths with soft ground...I think about 30%. Passed by a lot of tree trunks...and mud...and dry leaves...it's wet due to recent rainy days...there's one part almost 90 degrees down hill...we were like, "WOW!" Then, my sis started the 1st step because she's professional at going down hill...I'm just amateur, though I prefer going down to up...
Anyway, we managed and mission accomplished! Yeah! just took a few pictures...not much...nothing at the peak just a tree branches with empty 500 ml bottles "capping" above the branches...
Then, there's this old man, Uncle Tan, he's a herbalist! Then I asked, "What plant is this? Looks like a pine tree." He pointed and answered, "This is called 'Ayamas'. There are a few of this kind there." I thought, "Oh, got such name of plant? Weird!"
He took some pictures of the plants...nice one...using high-technology-digital -camera...proud of him though...wearing jeans to hike the hill! Amazing!
There's one part where we need to hold on the ropes to go up the peak. The ropes are on the left and right sides...about 70-80 degrees...which is quite steep...this is when the gloves are useful! There's another part where we passed by bushes...trees and plants...still, I wore the gloves most of the time except eating time...
leeches 'poke' my leg again..not fair! only me...not really, though another 2 girls also...LOL...some said, "Never mind, donate blood!" Another said, "Anyway, we 'stepped' on their habitats, so they should revenge!" SWT!
Raining halfway going down the hill and the mist started to appear...cool! I mean cooling...ran on some flat paths...it's nice to run in rain but...quite dangerous and slippery...have to be careful! Funny thing is when I was running, this girl behind me shouting as if I'm her daughter, "Lai Tee, don't run so fast!"
The more she shouted, the faster I ran...this is my stubborn characteristic... can't think of a right word to describe my characteristic...hmm...finished and reached the entrance again...all wet! and wet again, took off the raincoat...cleaned ourselves with clean water...proceed to a beautiful chalet of RHB bank's...took shower...and drink hot drink before leaving...nice! Didn't join the others for steamboat...instead went to eat dinner at a restaurant in Kuala Kubu Bharu...not bad, it's delicious, actually!
reached home almost 9 pm..a whole day trip...the end!

an experience at Gunung Datuk....again
I did get a 'souvenir' from this gunung again...LOL...a scar about 7 cm long just below my right knee...worth it as long as I enjoyed...hehe...I don't mean that I enjoy getting scars, what I meant is I enjoyed watching the scene...there's 1 girl who brought binocular! (purposely brought it to see the Melacca Town)...Wow! So enjoyed!...she practised yoga and is a vegetarian (looks pale though) ...and my scar at my hind right thigh due to 'fell from slipping' at Queen's Lake Garden during last weeks' jogging got hurt again at this gunung...still haven't recover yet...sigh....double scars...pray that the wounds will recover soon!
~signing out as today is the last day of September...last post for this month...lots of things happened in this month though...will continue the story on next month...if I able to finish the story... :P

Let the story begin!
Once upon a time, there lived a young man at his twenties who lives in a small town called ‘Kajang’ to pursue his studies. One day, he went treasuring with his family to a land called ‘Cameron Highlands’. There is where he met his princess. They got married and lived happily ever after. She gave birth to five children. Not long before the fourth child was born, his mother, the children’s grandmothers passed away. Grandfather was very sad as both of his wives; one by one left him. At least now, he is accompanied by his daughter all the time in a bungalow at a peaceful land called ‘Dengkil’.
“Come on, we are late!” dad insisted. Every year, same thing will happen: we must go back to hometown, Dengkil to celebrate ‘Chinese New Year’. The relatives will be there, all gather together for a reunion dinner. Of course this is a ‘must’ for all the children and those singles, because those married couples will be giving out ‘angpau’, red packets for good luck!
Just a few weeks after the fifth child was born, mother’s mother passed away peacefully. Mother felt very sad as her eldest brother followed her mother’s step a few years later. Now only left the other siblings who still living in different part of Cameron Highlands. There is one long lost younger sister of mother’s who has difficulties to walk; now living with her husband and three lovely daughters in a place called, ‘Rawang’. They celebrate ‘Hari Raya Aidilfitri’ every year.
I’ve been living for twenty years in this small town called, ‘Cheras’ which is situated in ‘Kuala Lumpur’. Still, I’m not so sure about the roads in K.L. Good and bad things happen all the time. In short, it’s like karma; every thing happen must have its causes and consequences. This year is a breakthrough for me as I’ve climbed Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, the highest peak in Southeast Asia and I’ve finished the half-marathon run at Penang Bridge! And yet, there are sorrows hiding deep in my heart. Something related to my studies, examinations always bring sadness when the results don’t seem to be right after you have invested all your time and energy for it. A big ‘Yahoo!’ for those who made it, yet a big ‘Sigh!’ for those who doesn’t make it. For all the great things happened, there still have troubles besides. I cried the most in this year, too much tears, and too much sadness. The sadness accompanied by peace, when friends give supports and advices. That I am still alive is because of you, God, who comforts me with abundant of loves. Thank you, Lord, for saving me from sadness! In Jesus' name I pray, Amen!

Allergy??...solution
Doctor said: "You must avoid seafood and alcohols!" "Take the medicine as a course, must finish them all!"
Me: "Ya, right!" (nods)
That's it! At last, I went to clinic for consultation...(after every one have been asking, asking , and asking me to go!)
Hopefully, the medicines help!

Allergy..getting serious..~SIGH
Frequently, I'm suffering from allergic...very, very itchy...if you have been following my blog, you will notice that I always complain about my sufferings - from pain (especially allergy). Now, it seem not showing any changes even though I've took medicine to suppress allergy..~sigh, is my skin that SENSITIVE?
Well, we'll know...let's see, 1st, I thought it was seafood, then, maybe salmon (sushi or raw food), then, strawberry jem, later, duck (meat), recently, almond & chocolate & ice-cream! OMG! All are my favourite delicacies...BUT WHY? I mean before this, after ingesting those food, nothing happen to me (just like normal)...sadly, nowadays, whatever I ingest seem to have effect on my skin..God, help me! The itchiness is killing me! The sign is rashes looks like as if you are bitten by mosquitoes (but actually it's not, it's sign of allergic - in Cantonese known as "Fung Muk" - something to do with wind I supposed) and I'm advised by mother to drink Chinese herbal tea called "Ko le" in Hokkien (sorry ya...don't really know what is it called in other language) - it's function is to cleanse the blood...and your body will feel "heated" after taking the medicated tea..
Feel sad that until now, I didn't really know what my skin allergic of besides what I've listed above~sigh. It seems like as days passed, my skin is allergic to more and more food...sometimes, I think, I would just eat veggies..~hate that...I'm not willing to be a vegetarian yet! Even though sometimes, I found some of the vegetarian food are quite nice! but most of the time, it doesn't satisfy my my hunger at all! ~SIGH

Penang Bridge Marathon!
Decision had been made months ago even before school reopen...that is go for marathon!
proud of myself...
good thing is we have goodies bags & free food & drinks (actually included in the payment):
and I celebrated my 20th birthday!
me being small girl once again...fed by sis Tze (my sis's friend)~ yummy!
There was a Penang Bridge marathon on 24th June, about 3 weeks ago...Thank GOD my foot & ankle are recovering from pain...
Besides that, Penang Bridge marathon was a great experience ever...even with lots of obstacles but we still enjoyed it...
for full marathon: 42 km, time limit: 6 hours
for half marathon: 22.3 km, time limit: 3 hours
for fun run: 10 km, time limit: unknown (none of us join)
Men (different starting point) started first followed by women
3 of us joined the half marathon,
3 of us joined the half marathon,
My dad reached in 2 hours +; my sis 2 hours ++; me myself 2 hours+++(almost 3 hours...just in time) still...those took more than 3 hours less than 4 hours to reach, also received finisher medals and certificates....
proud of myself...
worst that, we have to walk back to suite (hotel) after the marathon! It was about 3.5 km...OMG, know why? no cab around after the run...the bridge and some of the roads still closed... :(
according to my sis, this year's organiser wasn't good...the previous year's better...just agreed..personally I felt that too...even though this is the 1st time I run..
good thing is we have goodies bags & free food & drinks (actually included in the payment):

Digi Trippin..not bad
Urgh! I didn't actually win..never mind at least I've tried...maybe, just not my luck, no one supports me though...until being eliminated...LOL..luckily my best friend appeared...but unfortunately, my part in the game was over when she reached (sad case)...anyway great to see her, if not I would just go home by my own...
I wouldn't even dream of joining such competition...I've been chosen to join...so just went.. and get humiliated..joking...the bad part is the 1st round, I have to take out 5 digi tags from aquarium 1/3 full of small fishes & frogs (eww!) with mouth! ...I wouldn't want to do that if not for the competition!!!~sigh, I just got 1...until the time's up...not fun at all!& I broke my necklace while searching for the tags...(sad :() luckily I didn't drown in the aquarium...but I think I hurt my stomach...waiting for it to recover...
2nd round...arrange 4 puzzles in 7 minutes...not even finish 1..haha..but almost finish 2 of them...anyway, I made mistake on that (there were 2 blue puzzles...1 dark blue, another light blue...no wonder the puzzles doesn't match...so sad) I mean, the sun was shinning on the puzzles...the 2 blues are hardly recognize...or maybe I'm just colour blind (now only realize...too late?)...sometimes nervousness can make us confused...(adrenaline too high..LOL)
after that, it's time to eliminate...good that I'm being eliminated...though I felt wasted...but I'm ok with it..at least I have time to eat...imagine waited while playing games from 1 pm to 4 pm...and I only had my breakfast at 9.30 am...of course gastric juice started to release and hit my stomach...was hungry after the games..received 1 goodies bag from digi (good enough)
after everything settled...went to Low Yat Plaza..search for gadget...& present (gift) ...had dinner there due to the continuous rain...went back, realized that everything had raise price (need to keep $$ ...not too spendthrift)..even the car park had increased by RM 1 in B.Times Square from RM 6 to RM 7...sometimes, some place, we might just use public transport to go...sigh..maybe, that's one of the reasons of the price increment...as time passed by...feel like near to the end of the world...
hmm..have to find a day free to repair my necklace...~sigh
spending time to blog...nothing I could do...mobile phone no battery... friends not around...what to do? best is just blog....haha...(sneaked into campus again...guilty but no choice, wouldn't want to go out after getting in! thanks to my friend who brought me in..~huhu)wish could have the sticker...~sigh, no chance though until the next sem..I'm not chosen to have such luck..that's why..sad case! no point arguing...
to those who's studying, all the best!
those who's working, do your best!
those who's having holiday, enjoy your holiday!

First thing first
all 1st
1st of June
1st row in auditorium...watched Shrek 3..funny..laughing from beginning until the end
1st day of the year to meet long long ago (friend long time didn't see)
the outing on 1st June was good, 1st time went out with friend's mother...shock at 1st...but get used to it..later...everything's okay..just that...feeling guilty for not paying (shouldn't let people treat me, don't know why they like to treat people like me?... I don't always have the chance to feet the bills! ~sigh..is either I slow...or I really not generous enough...have to improve on that! hump!)
listen to someone's mother...couldn't actually feel how a mother is feeling towards her children...unless you yourself become mother...till then only we realize & know how they feel...even though they nagged, scolded, punished...all for our own good... actually they do take care & worried of their children...sometimes father did the same...depends...not all family have same traits (ways parents treat their children)
lastly, 'big pau' from Jalan Ipoh tasted really nice!
would like to wish all fathers in the universe, Happy Father's Day!

7.30 am - start at Mesilau starting point...strange that I'm walking with the oldest among us, Ah Lee (because she's same group as mine - each group 6 persons, 3 groups)...she walks very fast..I just follow my own speed...sigh ~ saw nice scenery (waterfalls) but no camera at the moment, both of us also don't have 1 ...she said, "We capture them in our mind" ...continue walking...1 KM passed...2 KM...She doubted, "Are we on the right track?"...because all the way seem like going down...(I thought, "We are supposed to climb up, but why is it the path & stairs leading us to down?") Then I answered, "Should be! We are on the right track"...seem convincing..haha...we followed the path all the way...meet 2nd group (Yee hua, Tze, Ben) ..walk together...rest..then walk..take pics...here come my group leader, Mr. Tony Wong...being gentleman (walked slowly..waited for other group members)...walked..reached bridge...took pics...continued...meet 3rd group (My sis & Kok Foong) ...continued...have a break at hut..went toilet...add in water...continued...taking pics...etc..etc...bla...bla...all the way up we saw rodents!

But going down must be more careful because if you step wrongly...you might just roll down like cheese roller...LOL...or maybe like those "bollywood movies"...they like to roll down the hills...for them "rolling down" from hills is "romantic"...haha... walking stick will be very helpful...especially when your legs' shaking, no more energy to go on...the stick will act as your '3rd leg'...~gee

Inflammation or allergic?
Injured for one week plus, I supposed the scars should be recovering, yet I feel itchy especially at the site of injuries...that make my whole legs feel itchy every single second...could anyone tell me what happened to my legs, am I allergic to medicine I applied, the food I eat or it is just the inflammation (chemical reaction in my body) that is healing my wounds?
Seriously, I need someone to give advice to me. I don't know what had happened to both of my legs. I don't want to feel the 'itchyness' anymore..Help!
please comment..

I've learned..
I've learned my lesson...or lesson I've learned?
Just a little thoughts or perspectives on human behaviour...
Personally, I feel that working people are more committed, determined and punctual compared to students. Taking myself and my working sisters as examples, both of them seems to have the 3 values that I stated, which me myself do not have enough. Maybe, I'm still immature or they are responsible to themselves..? Just a few years gap between us, and the difference is that much...perhaps, when I reached their age, I'll behave like them as well. I'm still learning to be more self-control, the temptations out there are influencing me as I'm easily influenced, just can't control myself.
I would like to thanks to both of my sisters who waited for me whenever I'm slow not punctual, I would like to apologize due to my mistakes I've made, that actually trigger your anger. Once, I'm being impatient, not waiting for my sister...I admit that I'm not patient & considerate enough (I don't really care of your feeling, situation that you face) and I'm not helpful. Sorry for that, I promise I'll change...I need someone to remind me to change though..
I need to be more alert of people around me who needs help..still I'm not alert about that, keep reminding myself to be alert and yet I remained unchanged...maybe I'm just selfish..I shall learn to care of other's feeling..
looking forward for comments & suggestions.

play family
forming a family is continued in tertiary studies (in varsity)
this type of family is form by same gender (all females in my case) of students
history: in secondary school (I used to be one of the daughter of the family)
current: in university (I'm the 4th wife of my husband)
It was fun playing family (enjoyed)
I wonder how would it be in reality (if it happen)
Anyway, this is part of our lifes: taking roles, responsibilities, etc.

bad day vs. reward
Venue: KLCC
Event: PC Fair
Date: 15/04/2007
Approx. 1 hour used for transportation
Approx. 1 hour used for solving debit card problem
Approx. 2 hours used for walking around (find for stuff, one-way path, met friend)
Comments:
customer service & security were good, good bargain (last day), the one-way route was systematic but troublesome, packed with people (like sardine), pity babies (gasping for air), F&B booth were making business (people need to eat & drink), systematic (different hall different categories of accessories).
Suggestions:
place for nursery might help in taking care of the children
continue 2nd round at OUG plaza:
dinner at pizza hut
bought 1 bottle of Giant distilled water (RM 0.59) --> free half dozen of milo cereal (surprised, I haven't have that experience before, after exhausted 1st half of the day at PC fair, getting reward - free stuff at the end of the day)

Well....WHY?
I just feel like I'm different from my other siblings...I don't know why, I'm the only one Helper in my house....and it is always me who do the things when nobody is doing...I'm the one who always unlock the door whenever dad come home late (he just yell my name, but not the others) I pondered, "why? I'm the one he call?" sometimes, I'm the one who they blamed when things went wrong...so, I'm kind of frustrated, angry? hmm, just that...sometimes when things become malfunction...I'm the one who 'responsible to repair' (I mean why? again they asked me to do things like that?) I'm the one responsible to fetch my younger brother...if not, no one else will do....unless I went out....that's the only way I could excape from those responsiblilities..... yet, whenever I go out my family starts to worried, they keep calling (ask where am I? what am I doing ?and what time are you coming back?) especially during night time...but WHY?
Am I choosen to hold those responsibilities? or is it normal to face situation like that? but, I still couldn't understand why am I always the one choosen to do things like that (like no other people will do) I mean, I'm not the only child, but 5 of us...and I'm always be treated like that way....I'm not saying not fair, or just....I just feel weird...cause I'm not the eldest nor the youngest
hopefully someone will answer the questions.....and I would like to listen to someone who had similar situation...
