Granny goes up to Gunung Datuk
0 comments
Bleh. Going up the mountain wasn't that easy after not excercising for so long! I realised how unfit I am now due to my whole month of eat-sleep-tv routine. Gotta work on it! I don't want to be both granma in the inside and outside!
We went to Gunung Datuk last friday, 26th Feb which is in Rembau, Negeri Sembilan. There were 18 of us in total. The journey up the mountain was tiring as it was very steep most of the time. I like the challenge at first. However, my stamina couldn't last very long and i was panting like crazy. Still, i didn't want to give up easily but my body was quite weak due to the fever i had a day before. The chest pain i used to have came back attacking me again, it was quite suffering. Luckily Kou was helping me all the way up. Thx Kou!!
Took about 2 hours to reached the peak and the view there was well worth it! did not regret coming at all. I'm satisfied overall, the trek requires a lil bit of climbing and I was so happy to be able to again. How i miss it =')
There were huge rocks stacked nicely at the peak. I wonder how did those rocks ended up there. We climbed to the highest to get the best view from the mountain. It was sooooo windy up there. n I felt worse. Luckily, Sausages n snacks made me feel better XD
So, at the peak. . there was. . . .

Falala the Yodelel
and also.... The Monkey King. o-hail king kikikukukukakakak
after all that snap, crunch, chew, gulp, they started to clean the place up. Basically it was just picking up rubbish and cleaning graffiti on the rocks for the sem1 CIMP students to get community hours. I helped too though, so that i won't feel too cold by moving around XD
So much rubbish at the campsite. There were makanan tentera, non-expired biscuits, a bag, mineral bottles that contain urine T__T yucks.. There were Singaporean banner too. . tsk tsk. . a pretty gold ring (not sure if it's real) and more other stuff.
Imagine carrying bags of rubbish the whole way down the mountain. Wasn't much of a problem to me until my legs started to shake a lot. My legs became weak and i can barely move down. Had to hold onto something but at least my arms were still strong. It became a long painful journey back for me and i kept on wondered when will it end. . . All i know that i just had to continue moving to end it quickly. . .
I was so So SO glad when i saw the way out. The feeling was indescribable. Still have to drive back home all the way from N.Sembilan to Selangor though. Fell asleep a few times while driving and almost hit the car on my right XD luckily i managed to wake on time!

The plan was to go dinner after that, but I couldn't join them all because i had to attend some Aus pre-departure briefing in Subang. whooooaaaa, i was so lucky to win a creative MP3 player from the lucky draw! Praise God ^^ weeeee, so happy. All my tiredness just disappeared but when the next day i woke up, my body was swelling here and there ='(

Me back 2 business
And so. . after 1 month++ abandoning my beloved bloggie, here i am back again to stare stare at my laptop screen to blog.
1 month holiday back in Indo wasn't that bad this time. I had a lot of fun during my stay in Bali! I too was finally able to drive in the midst of fierce drivers and heavy traffics in Jakarta, and also able to spend more time with my dad :)
Bali is awesome! I'm really fascinated by their statues, handicrafts and the sceneries. I'm lovin' the skies in Bali especially. Here are some pictures that i manage to take:
1st pic: A statue of Sahadewa (of all, a pic of his butt?! why. . it has the most interesting angle and it's so sexyyyy :))
2nd pic: Dreamland beach, Bali
3rd pic: Sanur beach
4th pic: Sunrise @ Lovina (supposedly dolphins will show up in d morning, 90% of the time in d middle of the sea, but i didn't see em. That means I'm in the 10%!!! ='( sadsadsad)

The pic below looks as if there is a city above the sky......no???? at least to me!
Pic of me and my dad in bedugul. The scenery here is awesome! Two huge lakes located close to each other!
Here are the panoramic view i took using my camera phone. Suteki Dane? (isn't it beautiful?)
Kk, wouldn't wanna spend too much writting about my holidays. That's all about it.
Finally, back in KL and and was busy with my visa application. The Aus embassy required so much things from me because I'm Indon. T__T For a few days, I've been going around sunway college, sri kl, indon embassy, AusED and some spooky place called sumpah oaths in ss15.
Man. . It was tiring i tell ya. I had bills pilled up, my mom was sick, my house phone didn't work and so did my internet and my cute kenari made some funny noise whenever i stepped on the brake (turned out that the brake pad got so thin that it needed to be replaced).
I was so relieved that it's all over. I managed to work part time in Putrajaya, decorated parade floats with all kinds of flower for Florafest which was held last Saturday. The pay wasn't that bad. $5 per hour, but couldn't really cover the cost especially for petrol XD oh well, i've enjoyed myself except for the extremely cold temperature in the workplace (As if i was in this giant refrigerator) and I've actually went there for experience and not so much of the profit. However, It was freaggin' tiring and there was once, on wednesday, i reached home at about 3 am and got sick the next day. One day to rest and then trekked on the next day! phiiuuhhhh!
