SUNWAY LAGOON FAMILY DAY

Just came back from Sunway Lagoon Family Day..this is an event that held by Sunway group for the privilage of all the staff who are under this company to bring their family member to enjoy the fun and excitement in the theme park on this one day....

We reached the destination at 7 sumtin with the aim to become the first 2000 early bird to get the door gift while the event only will officially start on 8am...the queing system seems to be abit disapointing and not systematic at all and at the end as usual people will start squeezing around to rush into the entrance...anyway, our mission accomplished and it is worth for us to force ourself wake up early morning since the door gift is satisfying..we got a bottle style umbrella and a cool water bottle each^^

Got a pack of drinks and two slice of sandwich as our breakfast while waiting for our brunch redemption at 10.30am...lucky enough our curiousity urge us to go and have a look where is the place of food redemption and found out they start quieng up already though just 10am...we follow the queue and considered as among the earliest to grab the food...really cant imagine if we only go there by 10.30am as the line condition is so scary---"as long as penang bridge"..ha^^...lunch pack = cHicken rice + rendang + egg+ kfc chicken x2+ 100 plus+ cake +mineral water...(*only manage to finish up the rice and half of d chicken...hehe^^)..

Then we enter the interactive zoo with the feeling of full excitement because exceptionally we are allowed to enter the zoo this year...there are variety kind of cute and weired animal...get to touch rabbits and birds...cool...enjoyed alot in that zoo..

After all the SS ( self satisfying) activity, finally heading home time...All in all, this year's family day not bad and opt for not to involved in any water and dry entertainment game activity because the place as expected packed like sardine..hehe^^

TAMAN NEGARA

On my mid sem break, Taman Negara is the place where i headed to....this place can be considered as exciting and adventurous place..enjoyed the trip there very very much...

This trip actually named as final year trip which meant for those who are in their final year study at UM(open for fifth collegion only)..totally there are a gang of over 20 people who had join the fun and the activities that we went through are listed roughly as below...v went there for 3 days 2 nights and the fees around rm250 including transport, accomodation, meals and activities for all 3 days..

1st day:

~GUA TELINGA~

once v reach our destination, we straight away begin our adventure with 'Gua Telinga' after lunch...After a distance of breeze walk we reach the entrance into a small tunnel of that cave...this cave can be considered as a tiny one and quite incovenient to those big size people..at first i also quite worry bout myself because of my height..then with the leading of a taller senior i able to go through the whole cave quite confidently..haha..there are no doubt alot of BATS inside the cave hanging on the roof....v have to 'shhhhhh' all the time in the cave to make sure the bats are not disturbs or if not v are in a big trouble..the bats will start flying everywer and we will be stuck in the cave and 'playing' around with those shock and aimless flying bats around you( it is so scary though just imagine bout it..keke^^)

~'ORANG ASLI' SETTLEMENT~

After the cave exploring process, on our way back to the shore to wait our boat come to fetch(the main transport at taman negara actually is just boat or sampan..he^^), we will pass by an orang asli settlement..v get to watch how the last time aborigine make fire just using the nature's stuff and also knew more about their living style through the explanation of the tour guide....

~HOSTEL~

After the first tiring activity, we get to check in to our hostel and clean up ourself there...the hostel room can be considered quite big with v 8 gals sharing one room with 4 double decker...the other two room occupied by the rest of guys...quite well equiped in terms of there are alot of cupboards(6 cupboards) and aircond plus fans..yea..hehe

Actually on that night we have jungle night walk in our activities list but then have to be postponed because of heavy rain..so we spend our time playing games in the room..

2nd day:

~BUKIT TERiSEK + CANOPY WALK~

After breakfast, we start our climbing at bukit terisek.....this hill can be considered not a tough one but then stilll need some stamina to endure it...we keep pausing and posing all the way up and then continue pose at the top then same for all the way down..haha..really ss(syok sendiri)...on the way down we also manage to go through CANOPY WALK....As they informed, this Canopy Walk can be considered as the world's longest walk of its kind and it will not considered as a complete trip without gone through this walk when u visit taman negara...Neway, half of the walk have been temporary closed down for renovation...

~RAPID SHOOTING~

Rapid shooting is a kind of activity that for sure u will get wet....you will be arranged to sit into a long sampan and the boatman will start bringing u to speed through the 7 major rapids of the river..the water which rushing towards you will start splashing up when the boatman drive his boat through them...anyway, before i get to reach those water rushing spot, i have already whole body wet...all this is just because i have sat behind of few 'naughty' senior frenz...they keep on put their hand out and the water are forced to splash towards us who sat behind them...we have no chance to fight back at all and only can keep screaming, laughing ( mouth hav to be closed forcefully to avoid entering of the water into it) and defending by blocking ourself using life jacket..haha..wat a pity yet fun experience...missed that time so much..after finish exploring through all the rapids, we will be stopped at a place halfway where you can enjoy submerging inside the water there...After all have satisfied, hostel is the place we yearn heading for( to clean and REST of course..ha)

~NIGHT JUNGLE WALK~

As the previous night activity postpond to today, finally we manage to start our exploring experience in the jungle at night...have to keep in low volume too to avoid scaring the animals away...Unfortunately we not able to saw any animal and only some blue scorpion that pity us appear in the middle of tree hole ( where their nest is)...anyway, still a nice memory since never walk through a jungle at night b4..hehe

That night we also get to celebrate our friens' birthay whose birthdate fall on the 3rd day of that trip...Played game till almost morning..haha..

3rd day:

~LUBOK SIMPON~

This is the last place that we gona visit before heading back to kl..it is just a stream that you can enjoy water splashing inside...cooling and the river water is clean....we get the chance to perform a 'Surround Attacking' toward the birthday boy and water just splash like waterfall...haha

After all those memorable activities and lunched, we heading home with full of satisifaction and worn out body condition..haha..the one thing that i dislike is they have made a bad choice by siting motor sampan for almost two hour before continue taking bus back to kl..the weather is so hot and i almost drowned in the heat of the sun...ai..

New Finding

Besides enjoyed the wedding stuff, the rest of my week continuely been bombared with new and interesting finding especially places with nice food(**swan look up**haha)

Banana Leaf Rice

Last wednesday, we ( roomate and me) are late for dinner because need to complete some part of our thesis experiment on that day itself..when we are done, clock already shown its needle at number 8...so we just called up my another roomate named hui jean whether to join dinner together...of course she agreed since she havent had hers too and we only get start to heading for our dinner at 9pm since jean's class end at that time...decided to have a try on the cheap,super fulling and yummy banana leaf rice at Restaurant Nirwana around Bangsar Village area which recomanded by jean ( she ate before with her friend)...

Reached destination, banana leaf being laid on the table in front of us and the 'ah neh' start to fill up our leaf with variety of dishes included timun salad, fried bitter gourt, spicy long bean, and 3 kind of kuah on the rice....and all this dishes u can add as much as u want till you really surrender for it....jean's rice is like a mountain since that felow suggested her to take the rest of the rice in the container since left not much..but then that portion really will clog up to my throat if i am the one goin to have it..haha...it is really satisfying and guarantee you will go out from that shop without complaints of 'not enough full'...and the important thing is v ordered two rice and my another roomate ate roti canai and it only cost us not more than rm18 for 3 person to eat till walk out like penguins..haha

Shabu Shabu at Restaurant 100 degree

On saturday, there is a gathering among my coursemate and again based on others recommendation we decided to have shabu shabu at '100 degree'...this is our first successfull gathering among coursemate (joined by almost 90%) since we know each other at first year..hehe..totally 10 out of 13 person joining and we went with two cars...this restaurant is well known for its variety of soup and its sauces...overall i think they have about 10 kinds of soups (eg: original, tom yam, bak kut teh, herbs, porridge, golden porridge, fish head soup and alot more)..i chose fish head soup which taste not bad but golden porridge and bak kut teh soup are highly recomanded..yummy...their price are reasonable too except for the drinks which are abit more costly...Not to forget mentioning about their sauces which also take up our table area almost as much as our main dish since they made up from more than 10 kind of different 'species'..we have so much of fun, take so much photos and make so much of noise..luckily thanks to our friend who made an early booking so we can enjoy to the max in the reserved room...

After lunch, we went for 'coursemate shopping trip' to pyramid....every one enjoyed this outing very much especially at the sunglasses trying part...v almost tried all the sungllasses on the rack of few shops and passing the sunglasses around among us so that every one get a try and laugh when someone start trying some weire glasses..(pity the shopkeeper too la..hehe^^)..but then at least some of us got purchase few of the sunglasses so didnt felt so guilty la for our 'sakai-ness'..ha..End our 'coursemate outing trip' officially at around 11pm..fuh..wat a tiring day too^^

GeneCode Talk

One of my coursemate under the thesis title which related to fingerprint, through chance and luck, have get to exposed to this interesting field which called DERMATOGLYPHIC under the GeneCode company...DERMATOGLYPHIC is the genetic science of finger prints. They can relate our brain to the fingerprint...this means through fingerprints one can know his /her talents and characteristic after being test by a profesional fingerprint collecting and analysis system..GeneCode is a company which pour their full commitment in this field and recognized as a profesional company in this field...My few coursemates and i went to this company's talk on sunday for introduction of DERMATOGLYPHIC under the recomandation of that fingerprint thesis's coursemate..for sure it is an interesting talk and at least i get to learn how to roughly know a person characteristics through their thumb print(though is just a very basic one only)..Neway, nice experience and precious knowledge too^^

~~Wedding~~

Interesting stuff and activities keeps emerging into my life for last few weeks...Enjoyed it very much though at the same time trying hard finding myself some time to at least cool down my mind and body in between..hehe..

For the merdeka weekend i have been invited to attend my friend's(subash) brother wedding...i agreed happily and looking forward it since i get the invitation on early of the month..the reason being i have never attended any indian wedding before and the urge of curiosity to know about all the culture and procedure of indian style wedding making me felt exciting when going through the whole process.

It is very kind of my friend that he given me this precious chance to experience through the whole and complete process of the wedding ceremony which roughly taken up three days...really appreciate his kindness very much^^..so i will roughly jot down the activities that i have joined for that three wonderful day..

First day:

We went to subash's house which just a stone throw away from mine at around 7.30pm..When we reached there, some prayer ceremony is already starting...the first part of the prayer will be done at the garden in front of the house...the objective of this prayer is somekind of curfew for the bridegroom from stepping of the house till the real wedding day which fall on 2 days after..this is to protect the bridegroom from any negative elements. Then, the bridegroom will sit at a small compound which surrounded with all kind of stuff that used for 'blessing' ceremony later..today it is the 'blessing' from mother side's relative that would be done...

Besides, swan and me get the honour to join the bride's side visiting and enjoyed the present giving part too since only ladies can do this part...the atmosphere at the bride's house is so happening and it is somekind like housewarming party..buffet is provided and the music is so luring because u will feel like shaking the body when u pass by the DJ and PA system area..there are a group of people who enjoyed themself dancing there and we didn join since v are still strange to that place..but then savithra (bridegroom's sis) said: dont worry, tomorow is our turn..haha

2nd day:

Went for jogging,breakfast and shoping at pyramid in the morning till noon...Had fun too though it is just normal stuff because gone through all that with swan and her cute and fun friend--Paul.. Then, we went to subash's place again around evening..that night more visitors attending and it is the dad's side relative turns to give blessing all..v enjoyed the yummy yummy food and had a dance too( i think i am somekind of jumping randomly compare to dance..haha..xp)..Help done some packing stuff then back to recharge ourself for the 'big' day..

3rd day:

The real wedding ceremony will be held at indian temple which i only get to watch at tv show normally..So today i can watch it live in front of me..wow, so exciting yo...Got up quite early on that morning since subash tell us to reach the temple at 9am..wore a special kind of semi-punjabi suit on that day...then ceremony started and have grabbed a precious experience and knowledge about indian culture there..After that, we had our indian style yummy lunch again at the temple and then back home fully filled with satisfication..hehe^^

**Funny thing is swan and me seems to be over excited by attending every single wedding ceremony process till our parents asked: Now actually is your friend's wedding or friend's brother wedding??.....hahahahahaha..Neway,nice one^^

Sem Break??

Now officially is the 5th day of my sem break and i only still got 2 more days to go till sem reopen on next mon..sob sob..T.T...This week seem passed by super fast and hardly can felt the freeness and relaxness of a 'break' should be..

Reports, thesis project experiment and preparation for midsem exam greedily snatch most of my sem break and make my brain feel heavy because of all these undone stuff....fuh...Neway is happy cause my first few step of the thesis experiment done and now have to rush up for report and revision...


Luckily get to grab a chance though just in a short time to watch a movie with my dear best friend...'The Proposal' --quite a good one..not say superb but then still able to creat laughter after all..hehe..

Though did not really get to fully relax myself down in this one week sem break but then at least able to enjoy the privilage of waking up later in the morning than usual day..nice one..ha..hopefully going to have another sem break soon^^
