Mount Kinabalu Aim! (7th-17th Apr 09)

Waltson brought a good news for us today! Finally we've got the chance to visit his hometown Sabah and climb Mount Kinabalu!!! I'll be joining for sure! Horray!! I'm so excited that i had already done some research about it =p Here it goes...

The summit of Mt. Kinabalu is known as Low's Peak which height at 4,095 metres. It is the fourth tallest mountain in Southeast Asia and also the 20th highest peak in the world! Now i know that...ehehe... Refer to Sean, we need about 2 days and 1 night to reach the peak (omg...i doubt whether i can make it or nope! Guys if you really planned to go please do make it asap, sobzz... as you guys know my bones are getting brittle and soon will become gray hah!!) But for the infomation that i've got, the oldest person to reach the peak was 80 years old! I do not want to lose to an old man!!! Oh man... .... This is the best page that i found out where you can get almost any info. you would like to know about Mt.Kinabalu, do enjoy it =)

This pic look challenging for me!

This is even worst =.="!!

What did made me headache the most was "MONEY MONEY MONEY~" lolz! This is the roughly expenditure that we need for the trial :

• Air ticket if we managed to grab the 0% rate promotion price then it would be RM160 for 2 ways p.p.
• Park entry fee - RM3 p.p.
• Climbing permit - RM30 p.p.
• Insurance - RM7 p.p.
• Guide fee - RM70 to RM100 (the actual cost depends on the number in the group and which route is used)
• Transport to (and later, from) Timpohon Gate where the climbing path properly begins from the entrance about 5km - RM4 p.p.
• Accommodation on the mountain - RM188 to RM288 (Inclusive compulsory 5x meals)
• Extra RM100 for some optional fees

The maximum outlay forecast is about RM600 p.p. (swallowing my saliva >_<") I understand that RM600 for us as a student is really a big amount, six hundred... uhh...! But i'm still hoping all of us will have the ego to do it! I've already planned to earn the money back during the rest of the 3 months holiday heh! Money is not the problem! I can gain it back by hardwork =D Most important is the experience that i'll gain on the trip and grasp the opportunity to climb Mt.Kinabalu at least once in my lifetime? I extremely hope to spend my holiday on extraordinary activities with you guys and create mountain of sweet memories among us ;)

Will we managed to land on the peak and spend an unforgettable days within the magnificent sceneries of Gunung Kinabalu together? It must be joyful!

My Journey in Bali...

It's been a long while i'm thinking of how to present this post. It was a precious experience & journey that i've got. Time just passes too fast... it's been one week since i've back from Bali. This trip is really undescribable. Hmmm.... really can't figure out any way to express my feeling for Bali. Thanks for all my friends that who missed me so much when i'm not here =) Too bad that i couldn't share my happiness with you guys but for my advise, you must visit Bali!
This is the first trip that i'd passed and enjoyed it in a different way, compare with others places that i had visited. Maybe it's because of the growing age, i start to see things differently. The trips before, i only know spending my time for those hmm... pointless activities? (shopping...eating...sightseeing...ah boring!). Along this trip, i managed to make friends with Bali's citizens and tourists. I've learned a lot from them, get to know their culture, daily life style, feels their thinking and feeling, having a lot of funs with them by explored the places, activities, stuff... that you will never knew for a short period visitor. It's just feel like we are a family! Ah~ i really miss the place... =)
I guess it's preferable to explore yourself than following tour guild. The time will be more flexible, thus you can plan and organize to do things that you like rather than to acquiesce halfheartedly in the guild's schedule =). For those who've planned to visit Bali, you made the right choice and bon voyage!! =D

~*SWEET MEMORIES*~

"080808" Bejing Olympics!

Today is a wonderful day! 08/08/08, what a remarkable date it is... :) Did you make today a special day for you to remember? When will i meet such a lovely date again? 08/08/88? lolx... If i am that lucky to live for another 80 years maybe ehehe!

Today is the grand opening day for 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics as well!!! Too bad that i do not have a channel TV to watch the live show!! SOBZZZ It's real sad... :( (Maybe i've just need to wait for another 4 years to watch the next olympic live as my friend said so hah! But it's true, we won't know what will happen in the next second) Anyhow, i can still feel the excitement of it! Everyones are non-stop talking about it at everywhere! Almost every restaurants are showing the program =D I'll support the olympic by keeping track of the news and events as often as i can! I love sports a lot XD

...........

See! This briliant National Stadium is designed by Herzog & DeMeuron (Swiss) and China Architecture Design Institute. It's in 10,000sq.m. size and consist of 91,000 seats!!! Incredible!

The stunning scene during the opening ceremony @.@...how i wish i could be there and cheer with all the fans together! It must be great and make you feel energetic!! Horray! Horray!! =D

I'm Getting Fatter & Fatter!!! Wuaaa...

My weight increase rapidly after joined this baking course =.=" I gained 5kg in just a few months and this is my heaviest weight i ever had in my life until now! (hope that i won't create another new record >.<") I have made an analysis to determine what is the actual cause for this incident lolz...

1. Non-stop eating products and edible ingredients while baking in practical class (i really love those breads which just carried out from the oven! It's unresistible!!!)
2. Having just too much bread ><" (we bake 3 kinds of bread and mostly 3 kinds of cake in 1 week @.@ shame to say most of them i'll finish eating it by myself...helpless...)
3. Meals time not fixed
4. Having dinner after 10pm for 6 days per week
5. Having light breakfast, heavy dinner! doh!!
6. Sleep late (normally will get to bed on 4-6am, trying hard to adjust my life into normal mode now :p)
7. Sleep right after meal (for quite frequent)
8. Sit for too long in front of pc. (about 5-6 hours a day) causes all the fat accumulated on lower part of the body >_<"
9. Lack of exercises (only once a week for badminton, cycling everynight for a short distance)
10. Take numbers of snacks in midnight
11. Having meals as my wishes, never considered about the nutrition of food
12. Love fat products a lot such as chocolate, ice-cream, milk, cheeseeee...yummy!!!
13. Won't feel full although just finished my main dish which are quite big in portion (omg..)
    

Woow... What a mountain problems that i've got!!! But the most serious problem is i do not have the determination to control my bad eating style... i never really planned to change it...

.............before...........................now

But these few days i start to feel the difficulties of a fat person (shudder to think!) I'm getting tired easily when i walk especially when going up stairs! Even if i just stand on the same position for sometime i'll feel like i'm carrying 100kg of stones...sobz... My reaction is getting slower too when play badminton. Somemore, when i'm sitting for a period on chair it'll cause my leg get paralysed >.<" i never had this feeling before... My appetite has improved! My mouth just can't stop finding something to bite on! (fainted..lolz) Things are getting worst!!! Most of my trousers and jeans already cannot fit my size... After noticed all these major occurrences, i start to worry, and now only i planned to control myself hahahahaha... Hmm...hope i manage to do it and everything will be back to normal or getting better soon! =p

Never "Grow Old"

I was bringing my mom to have breakfast. En route, I saw an about 2 years old child walking unstably accompanying by his mom beside (cute...). A long the road are stalls selling baby's clothes and toys. The baby put 100% focus on those fancy stuff hah! We (except the child) noticed there's a curve in front of the road. The mom keep on asking his son to focus on the road while walking, but the child just can't resist for what he is seeing! He stepped on the curve and nearly fall down. Certainly, her mom managed to hold him seens three of us (both the baby's & my mom & me) already on standby to snatch him started when he getting nearer and nearer to the curve lolz!
The incident brought out a thought in me. I saw us (as an adult) in this child. We just can't resist every fancy stuff and attraction around us whether it's good or BAD for us. We always get in troubled because of these thing just like the child totally forgot to watch out his direction. Luckily he got his mom beside him. But we won't always be that lucky to have a "rich" person who will help us when we have difficulties.
Hehe... i admit that shopping is one of my uncontrollable bad habit and i developed it in the early of this year...sobz! When i saw clothes that i love! I'll confirm buy it without ponder if it does not exceed my budget (hehe! won't tell you the figure). I prevent to visit any shopping mall ><" If i couldn't see then i will not think of it. This is the best way i can figure out to control myself for now =p Window shopping is suffering!!! LOL... Feel people must always stay alert and know what we are doing. The hardest thing is to control ourselves but that is the only way we can prevent most of the troubles...

Time Is Running Out...

I have not enough time. Realize that i have not enough time to complete what i want to do for this life... Suddenly got to know the feeling of someone who had critical health problem :( There is no way to describe the pain of them... This world is real cruel and we have no choice but to accept it. I appreciate everything that i've own especially my family and friends. Human are strange...we will never noticed the importancy of the thing or the person that we have until the moment we lose it... Can't deny that i'm cherishing all the momeries that are passed. I treat them as my precious for both happy and sad. There are persons that i do not like, but i will never hate a person. i know no one is perfect in this world. We are learning from each other. That is why i always find the pro's of everyone. I believe no matter how terrible is the person, there must be at least a good thing in him and there must be something that i can learn from him. I had been betrayed by my friend before and it really made me feel disappointed. However, i still choose to trust and treat all my friends with a heart full of love. There are really too much things i wanted to learn!! Feel that i will never catch up others... But i really enjoy the learning journey as far as i went through till now :) Life is a miracle (sweet!) Hope all the peoples around me will aware of this. Stop all the nonsense! Catch every second from now on and make them meaningful ;)
