Day 2 : Sungai Lembing Trip~
Filed Under holiday, photo, weekend | 5 Comments
Yes, we got up at 5am to go to the Rainbow Waterfall, a much harder attempt since we were already deprived of sleep. But thank God, we were brought to the ‘pasar’ for a quick breakfast first. 2 half boiled eggs, toasted bread and teh-si-peng~ (^.^) My ideal breakfast~
Next we climbed on a lorry and sat there for one and half hour of trip on the ‘jungle’! It was a very bumpy ride as there wasn’t any paved path but only a track full of stones. The lorry even waded small streams and the uneven journey was really a horrible one!
We have to grip tightly or else we might slipped off our seat, which was just bench on the lorry, with no cover on top of the lorry. We were just exposed to the rain or the sun (or those tree branches during the journey). (=.=)”
I was glad when we arrived and I thought that’s it, where was my rainbow??? To my dismay, we have to hike for an hour through the jungle. It was not an easy one since we have to go through some rivers with the slippery rocks and stuffs.
I wasn’t mentally prepared for it and thus find it even tougher. But finally, after being bitten by 3 leeches I finally reached the waterfall!
And… it wasn’t a huge one as expected too. But boy, wasn’t I glad to be seated down and enjoy the scenery and gobbled down the ‘chee cheung fun’ that we we brought along.
And not long after that, many tourists arrived and the place turned into a market with all the noise, people cheering and shouting, smoking, cooking instant noodles and stuffs. (=.=)"
And yeah, I saw the rainbow around 10am when the sun shines and it was quite constant. Anyway, we were told that we are lucky as it doesn’t appear everyday. (^.^)
And I braved myself back to the hiking which took 45 minutes and 2 hours of bumpy lorry ride under the mercy of hot scorching sun!!! T.T
That’s it. I shall never be back Sg Lembing. Those who have never go before can go at least once for experience. But twice is a little too much for trip like this. =P
This picture is taken while roaming the small town of Sg Lembing. Colorful houses of the small town. ^.^

Rodeo Events!
Filed Under stuff_3P | Leave a Comment
One of the cool events that she went lately is the rodeo sport in Spain! I love the tension and exciting moment the cowboy trying to escape from the beast, testing its skill, movement and speed. So, I always wanted to go to the world’s largest rodeo which is
Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
It has more than a million spectators every single year! After the rodeo event, they will have concerts featured by the many famous singers, be it rock, country or even Latin.
But as it always have overwhelming response, it is hard to get the tickets. I guess it’s too good to miss it.
A friend tipped me that I could get Houston Rodeo tickets from the TeamOneTickets.com where you could assure of great prices. The best thing is they do not have hidden charges or connection fees or service charges like some of their competitors.
I could check out the ticket pricing based on sessions and decks level of the seats easily through their website and order it online!

Rainbow Waterfall Trip~
Filed Under holiday, photo, fun, weekend | 9 Comments
I have bitten by the virus of I-m-so-lazy-to-update-my-blog. And I must admit the virus attack has getting more serious by the rate I am blogging; from every single day to twice a week and I fear the rate going to drop even further and I am forced to close down the blog. /_\
There are things I can write about which is the Sungai Lembing trip which I bet everyone else would have already written about it. I am 9 days late..
It was a trip of 12 people, not everyone know everyone else but at least each know at least other 3 and at least one person knows everyone, yeah being the co-organizers.
It is a place known for the famous rainbow waterfall and probably nothing else as it is a super-hot small little town which is almost dead. The small town is so peaceful that the villager could just leave their keys on the motorbike! And during the afternoon it is hard to find a place for lunch as most of the shops are not opened, not that there are many to begin with.
We left KL around 9pm after work and reached there after midnight and ‘checked-in’ to a hostel; exceptionally clean wooden house with 4 rooms and mattress that you can choose from.
On Saturday morning, hardly having a wink of sleep, we have to wake up at 4.15am to climb the small hill to watch sunrise! With almost empty stomach, unless you are willing to eat junk food in the morning; which all that we have.
It was a 45 minutes climb which isn’t too difficult if you have some stamina. It was a starry night and the weather was cooling and very fresh! But we reached the peak quite early, around 5am-ish and the sun didn’t rise till around 7am! Plenty of time for those professional photographer to set up their SLR on tripod and the rest chatted and complaining how hungry are we. It was quite a pretty view when the sun finally rose!
After that, we hiked down, had delicious breakfast, and roamed about the small town on foot (which took less than an hour) and back to nap.
Lunch at Kuantan since we couldn’t find a shop that opened for meal! Actually we were glad to escape Sg Lembing as it was unbelievable hot, hot, hot weather!
At night, we had BBQ dinner which we bbq on our own. It was rather fun although a lot of food was wasted. And my insomnia seemed to perish with the lack of sleep the day before. The next morning we have to get up at 5am! Hey, I thought it was a holiday?

Fit Walking?
Filed Under stuff_bdmm | Leave a Comment
As the only lazy bum in the household, I am the only one that does not join the gym. Even the other girl in my house has joined it last month. Shame on me!
Thus, the only exercise I get is through walking. Yes, I want to hit 10k steps a day. When I first got my pedometer, I think I could have hit 10k step if I go out for lunch regularly from my office.
And I think I found a better and more effective way on how to have a better workout while walking! Have you heard of FitFlops? Mind you, it’s not my spelling error but it is indeed a “fit” flop to help you work out while you walk!
With integrated wobbleboard technology, Fit Flop helps to tone and trim as well as tighten your muscles to give you a slim and tone leg! Simple as that, isn’t it?
They have many colours of Fit Flops to choose from and the designs are pretty cool which I think I can wear it casually for shopping or casual outing. I totally adore the White Walkstar II Fitflop as white has been my recent craze. As it is so comfortable, I could wear it for trip and wouldn’t worry about sore feet!

Catch Me When I Fall?
Filed Under me, life | 13 Comments
I bet as a kid, many of us fall down frequently, as it part and parcel of growing up. That’s how we learn how to walk, run, cycle and climb! 
The major fall I had during my childhood time was when I was in Standard Five. I was blessed with a set of very-bunny-teeth and it was much more obvious with me having small face and body. As so, I was always teased of able to eat watermelon faster than anyone.
But when I was in Standard Five, both my parents were not around on a Sunday afternoon. I was playing with my brother and here I was running across the living room and my brother sitting there. When he saw me running, being the mischievous one, he put up his leg to trip me down; as we always saw in cartoon.
It got me alright and I felt forward like a superman!!! One of my right left bunny teeth hit the floor and chipped!!! Darn! I remembered crying and crying at the corner of one room. So pitiful.. T.T
When my mother came back several hours later, she was surprised to see it and kept scolding my little brother. But well, there was no way undoing a broken tooth.. (=.=)" Or a broken heart. T.T
There goes my cute set of bunny teeth.
I was then became the ugly-1-chipped-tooth girl all the way till I was in Form 4!!! Until the school dentist finally fill in for me and put in screw or don't-know-whatever. I remembered having low self esteem due to it. /_\
And there was many fall when I was young which could be proved by my scarred-knees. I couldn't remember the last time I had a 'good' fall but there was many almost-slipped-incidents-in-the-slippery-toilet.
The reason for this post and remembering all the fall I had is I felt down again this week by the roadside when I was going for lunch! Oouucchh…!
I was walking down the curb of a road with a friend, with me busy explaining something. I guess I wasn't focusing where I was stepping and before I knew it, I lost my balanced and fell forward!!! My left knee felt hard on the pavement and both my elbows and hands were on the ground, trying to balance myself.
My umbrella flew to the front and my friend asked me if I knocked my teeth! Thank God I didn't! Or here goes my 22 months of braces and RM4.5K!
But my left knee, absorbing most of the impact was bruised and some skin is peeling. I saw many patches of blue blacks and I guess the real pain will come the next morning, as the usual falls I had as a child.
Sigh.. and I remembered always telling my little cousin whenever she was running "Don't cry if you fall, ok!".
So, when is your memorable fall or the last time you have a fall?

With the weather getting hotter each day, I wonder if it is just me or if the air condition has fail to be as effective as before. I hate to sweat when traveling around as I would feel sticky and horrible. I guess it is time to visit DiscountACParts.com to find some unbeatable deals for a/c compressor! They have free shipping on all order which is fantastic as well as high quality parts to ensure that it is long lasting and effective. I am checking out for the Volkswagen ac compressor as my neighbors seems to be complaining about needing new a/c part too. For more info, check out their site today.

Budget Good Food~
Filed Under photo, food | 11 Comments
Being not-so-hungry, we are not too sure what to eat on Sunday night. When we saw the promotion for Hainan Village at Manjalara, Kepong, we decided to give it a try.
It was really a very value meal as they are so many dishes for RM9.80 and it was quite good. Though the green curry chicken gravy isn’t as thick as I like, it tasted quite nice too.
The tempura-styled-deep-fried-kang-kung is really crispy and scrumptious. All the side dishes are yummy too except for the soup-of-the-day which is just like what you get at hawker stall. But for RM9.80 it was acceptable and worth it.
I ordered a French toast which I have forgotten to take the picture as I was too engrossed with the food! It was really delicious as well and I will certainly be back for more!

San Francisco!
Filed Under stuff_3P | Leave a Comment
I have always dream of visiting San Francisco since I was told about the city many years back. But I never thought I would be given a chance to visit the lovely Golden Gate Park myself this year! I am very lucky to be able to step my foot there!
I also visited the famous Alcatraz Island when I bought the package for the ferry trip to visit the famous prisons of the most notorious prisoner in history! It was a great experience as I have never been to a prison before!
Another place that I fell in love with is the Fisherman Wharfs which I felt that it was a beautiful place. We visited the Aquarium of the Bay and saw many lazy sea lions sunbathing at the pier! Walking down the place was an amazing experience itself.
I would love to go to San Francisco again as there are many places that I have yet to visit. Trusted Tours & Attractions have a things to do in San Francisco which is a perfect guide for those who never been there. My next aim would be New York City tours as I have not been there yet.

The Sinful Meal~
Filed Under photo, food | 11 Comments
This year, even with a little love to KFC, I have decided to stand firm and ban KFC for a year after watching the KFC cruelty chicken video.
I have found many of the KFC cruelty videos in YouTube and other sites. I wanted to put up a video here but decided to remove it as it was really too cruel to look at. You can find a lot of the videos here.
Though I really missed the crispy fried chicken, I have stand it for more than six month and I keep reminding about the cruelty. Well, let just see if I can make the same resolution next year.
Anyway, I really miss fried chicken as I have sort of refrain myself from indulging it due to my high cholesterol. But after seeing the mouth watering lunch pictures taken by BabyFiona, I couldn’t help but try it for myself!
Yes, the Korean BBQ Chicken.
I must admit I have never known its existence. But since it is fried using olive oil, I suppose it is rather healthy, or maybe just not that sinful, right? At first I thought it was a fast food as I was going to the counter to order. But it is a restaurant alright.
I ordered the smoked chicken after battling for 5 minutes over it with teriyaki chicken. However I had a taste of one of the original
fried chicken as well. It was really very yummy, despite the restaurant being rather empty on Saturday night.
The smoked chicken is very tender and tasteful and the whipped potato is good too when it was warm.
The fried chicken is really crunchy and yummy!!! Writing this post and looking at the pictures make me wanna go back again soon! Drool~!!!
But the drink is a little expensive, RM5.50 for a soft drink! But at least it is bottomless and being cheapskate, we ordered one drink and shared among two.

What the Hack!!!
Filed Under me, life | 5 Comments
I am an ordinary person that would not attract any person on the passing street. Even in the virtual world, I am just so ordinary. My blogs aren't famous and aren't attracting many readers as well.
Everything is ordinary, nothing outstanding or eye-catching.
And so I thought, being so ordinary, I would be safe from being a prey of those stalkers.
And I thought I just need an ordinary password and ordinary security, being such an ordinary blogger with ordinary posts.
There isn't anything valuable here in my blogs that anyone would even care to put the slightest effort to access it in a harmful way.
Why would I even felt otherwise? Right?
Until on the last tired Sunday night, as usual, I opened a few blogs together to read (some are others blog and some are my own).
And I saw this :
I was TOTALLY STUNNED for a few seconds as I was trying to digest what was happening.
And after the fact sink in about 10 seconds later, I felt my heart dropped, it just felt so heavy. And my shoulder slumped as well.
Checking other domain of mine showing the same thing. For a sec, I thought that was end of it. I didn’t know what to do. /_\
And I couldn't understand why anyone would even want to hack my blogs, for crying out loud! T.T
It was enough that I had a long day last Sunday, trying to make a major decision. Now that this happened around 11pm, I guess it wouldn't help my insomnia at all! :(
But I guess I was lucky to have Kw to help me remove the hacker's file from the hosting the very next morning. Next, there was this problem of opening the subpage with date-month-format-URL.
It wasn't really solved yet but we got a temp solution from the hosting, Shinjiru. I am crossing my fingers that this would be fixed as soon as possible. I don't need another thing to worry about, since I have more than enough in my small, small head!
On top of that, the water-contractor was trying to create havoc right in front of my house since yesterday by replacing old pipe with new ones.
How they dig and dig and dig the road and in front of every houses with their tractor for the whole day till midnight!!! The noise is almost unbearable, especially at night. The car couldn't pass through the narrow road which has been conquered by the tractor and stuffs..
I guess that it resulted in bad feng shui which brought several major obstacles to me. Darn.
And there is no water resource since yesterday noon. I'm showering once a day instead of my regular twice since I am not sure how long with the water in the tank would last. /_\
Hai…I just want to be ordinary.

Work from Home II
Filed Under work, me, life | 9 Comments
I am just glad that I get to work from home since my insomnia is getting from bad to worse. When I felt so sleepy and I went to bed, about 10 minutes after that, my mind will start running around and I would be getting more energise than earlier.
And after 20 minutes of lying on the bed, trying really hard to sleep, I would not feel like sleeping anymore. I either get up to watch the movie or read a book or trying to cultivate the sleeping mood again. I even sleep around 1 to 2am on work day which is very late to me as I used to sleep before 12 am. I totally hate it!
Anyway, on Monday, I requested to work from home since for this couple of work I will be working on a project that practically does not need me to liaise with any colleagues. Yeah, if you remembered the ‘compare document project’ that I was involved in the other time. Anyway, I really like working from home as :
1. I could wake up at 8.40am and still not late for work!
2. I could have my idea of delicious breakfast : fried egg with wholemeal bread (and lotsa tomato sauce) + coffee
3. I could go to the park for jogging and exercising at 6pm
4. I could have bread with cheese sausage and choc milk for tea time
5. I could go to the post office at 9am and be back by 9.30 am (work starts at 9.30am)
6. I could cook instant noodle for lunch?
7. I could go lie down at bed for 3 minutes when I am tired
8. I am more focused at my work as I know I need to finish it on timeline given
9. I have the need to be more responsible at home than at work or I’ll feel guilty
10. I don’t feel so boring and sleepy at home compare to in the office
11. I could do laundry and sun my clothes at day time
12. I could switch on the MP3 on the speaker and sing along it
13. I could save a few bucks on the LRT train
14. I save 65 minutes of travelling time (return)
15. I don’t have to think of what to wear in the morning
16. I don’t have to put anything on my hair to make it looks less fluffy
17. I could watch movie while having my lunch
18. I could sleep late due to insomnia and not to be too worried the next day
19. I have a peaceful house all by myself
20. I could watch the house so Mr.Rat won’t have a chance to roam and conquer the house?
Of course there are some cons when you work from home. But so far the pros outweigh the cons and I shall enjoy it for this 2 weeks!

Uninvited Guests..
Filed Under hate, life | 13 Comments
I always thought that it was only five of us that rent this house; my housemates and I. Little did I know that there are more than 5 occupants that make themselves comfortable and at home here!
Yes, rats! I believe there is more than one fat rat staying with us! Lately I heard scrurrying noise by the rats but I couldn’t detect where it came from. I thought it was at his ‘house’ at the back of the washing machine but it wasn’t.
One day I thought it was coming from the back of the fridge and the other day I thought it was from gas tank (and please, Mr. Rat, don’t bite on the gas tube! Or else we shall go to die together..).
Today as I heard more carefully I finally discovered that the stinky, shameless creature was staying on top of our ceiling!
I could hear the exact scraping sound made by the creature’s nail when I was renting my room in another house 5 years ago! That time a mother cat gave birth to her litter in the roof, right on top of my room and the sound of the scratching nails on the ceiling drove me crazy!
We don’t know what to do with the Mr.Rat or how to make him leave (if he is not paying for the rent). It has helped himself twice on our instant noodles and the leftover food in the trash (and whatever food he could access to and leave his ‘chocolate cakes’ all over the place! Yeewwww!!!).
I heard him loud and clear today making his way in the dustbin as he rummaged for his dinner! Well, you see, I am not his opponent, and so I quickly closed the kitchen door so Mr. Rat couldn’t access to the living room!!!
And the very same night, I discovered that shameless Mr.Lizzie (lizard) has also makes himself comfortable at our home and gave me a good fright by jumping out of the rice cooker in the sink! Darn..
