A confined bird

Another friday has arrived. Oh well... here i am, studying all alone in the resource room... Effective or not? Don't know... Well... just feel tired easily since i've no one to chat with... slept twice and didn't accomplish much... people come people go... I feel like a confine bird in hall... sian... Lots of sad things happened. People fell sicked, people feel hurt, people who felt unloved, people who felt bored, people who are utterly heartbroken, etc. There is nothing i can do although i've experienced all these before..

Perhaps you should listen to a few happy songs, cos it did put a small little smile on my mouth at the end of the day... (^.^) I didn't blog all these because it happen to me, but because it is happening around me. Stress is everywhere!!! Homework pilling up like nobody's business... what a day indeed...

Field trip to Bukit Timah Hill

Woke up after a 2 hour sleep only... feeling dreadful initially.. Drank some coffee and was feeling more energetic! Haha! Today we actually had a field trip to Bukit Timah hill with the SBS students! Don't really feel like taking any photos of the plants actually... just take a pathetic shot so as to commemorate the whole trip...There you go. This is the only place with a little bit more sunlight beaming though the pathetic hilly "forest"... Eh..

Haha! Took a photo with my Professor Gong! He is very knowledgeble indeed... Or at least i think he is... haha! Look at his tired look... must have exert some energy while climbing the hill!
Me and my best friend agaiN!

Oh ya! Took this photo with Xiang and Kelvin! Nice people... :)

Oh man.. it was raining and my shoes are soaked!!! We are all drenched too... feelings was kinda dampen actually.. haha! But luckily, all of us are optimistic people that we even played games while taking a shelter from the rain! This is a nice trip... should have take a group photo before we proceed!!! Haix..

Hmm... yesterday was family day and i enjoyed myself too!! Though the Genetics and Developmental Biology tutorial killed my mood, the presence of my family and Wen wei was enjoyable! Haha! Went to Lau Pa Sat and had dinner at the Ming Yan Seafood stall. Altogether cost $120 and it includes Big butter prawns, cockles, mussels, tou fu, vegi, fried fish with sambal, crab, broccoli and fried you tiao with mayo! On top of that, we ordered chicken/mutton satay, drinks and ice-cream! Next Wen wei, Esther, my mum and Eunice played mahjong before sending me back hall at 3.30am. SO BLESSED!! Indeed, i had a wonderful time with my parents today... Give thanks always!

Truth

Learned something in church today. Tried to convert it to a non-christian perspective so that everyone can enjoy it... (^.^)

As a marathon runner, it is important for that person to see the finishing-line. The finishing-line is his goal. Without that finishing-line waiting for him, he will not run for long... he will be running aimlessly... It is therefore very important for the marathon runner to see the finishing-line before he started running.

How is it possible for the runner to see the finishing-line even before he started running? Indeed, he cannot see the actual finishing-line physically that is so far away from his view.. but... he has that line in his heart. More often then not, that line in his heart is so much more important then the actual finishing-line which is waiting for him. It directs him and motivates him to run for that final finishing-line, and it is that final-finishing line which gives him that line in his heart.

Many times in life, we cannot see that line in our heart because that actual finishing line is not even there. Start off with the end in mind and you'll realize that that line is in your heart, which will direct you how to live your life.

The truth will set us free. Will you want to hear the truth if the truth is ugly or undesirable?
In fact, i think it is the truth that is worth dying for.

Continuation

Sorry... in fact i'm not done with my Pedigree thingy... HAHA!! just one more thought to add on:
I drew myself de! This is what i meant by a stronger square. Weak... strong.. stronger square... deceased. You know what? The smallest square is already determined and specified. ( Biological terms.. sorry for the jagons.. :P ) Most importantly, the last square is its fate. Sad. Just like the fate of the E cells = gut tissue... Though everyone's fate is the same, i hope to re-determine and re-specify my life. LOL... i don't want to be gut cell... give me the P granules i need to convert me to germ cells please!! Then i can swim about and enter the micropyle. This is a rubbish statement in case u thought i'm talking sense.. haha!! Anyway this entry is too biological... i will restrict myself in the subsequent entries.. tata!

Pedigree

Look at this simple Pedigree... Indeed as a science students, this kind of chart is very common... but my rubbish mind keeps thinking more than that.

Why males=square and females=circle ??

Again, stereotyping..
Why can't males be circle and females be square?
Is it because a square looks fierce and spiky and a circle looks gentle and lovely?
Is it because males should have a squarish well-built body while females a nice curvatures?
Is it because males are suppose to be pointy and females a circular breast?
Is it because males are more straight to the "point" and females are more sensitive and prefer going "around" the bush?

Anyway, males=square and females=circle. Facts are facts. I am a square, and i hope to be a strong square. :P

Exhausted

It has been quite wonderful for the past few days. Oh ya.. Celebrated Huiting birthday yesterday with Shan Bin in JP yesterday! Lol... not really a celebration cos we don't even have a cake.. Moreover the timing is very short, ate duck rice/noodles and then left for school already.. we are so busy... hmm... commenting on the duck rice stall on the 3rd level of JP, the rice is nice! Its as if the sweet smelling oil "seeped" into the rice particle and bring out the fragrance of the meal. The duck is tasty! Oily though.. and the portion is too little! but anyway, happy 21st birthday to you Huiting! Glad that u're just as happy as before!

Surprisingly, Alwlyn called me at nite. His friend has a place in hall vacant for one sem!! I called him immediately and decided to take over his room for this sem only. Shifting in soon! Haha.. thanks Alwlyn! Hope everything goes well cos i'm rather "friendless" in that hall... haiz... Oh ya.. made a few "new" friends while taking train/bus to school.. the xiao bu dian and team... haha! Hope all of you will stay happy always!

Indeed travelling to sch is really tiring. Frankly speaking, I slept at least once in all the lectures!! OMG. *STUNNED for a moment* What happen to me?? I can't control my motor cortex that well anymore... Everyone seems depressed too... all my friends in school seems mentally disturbed after the neuro lecture... some depressed... ( e.g. speedobash team ) some stressed... ( e.g. the Moon ) some begin to act wierd wierd... ( like Zhi Hui who don't normally sms me started to do so, and some people asking donut from me out of no reason... -___________- "" ) or perhaps they are wierd in nature? *shrug* LOL!!! All i know is... if we are to continue like that for 1 year, we will all turn psychotic..

Haha.. had to touch the worms today in lab today! Didn't really take a good photo of it, so not uploading it le! Tomorrow will be another tiring day and i hope everyone will be alright... JIA YOU!

Indeed, sometimes we tend to do the things that we do not want to do. And for the things that we want to do, we didn't do... we must flee from enjoying doing the wrong things!!! "Colourful" say de... :P Let's learn with a humble heart. If u want to lead, you will have to lead by examples. For that, be humble and learn... No one likes to be lead by people with big mouth and no action..

Quote from Zhi Shan

Don't let someone become a piority in your life, when you are just an option in their life.

How true is it? Ponder...

Unexpected change

Pulled myself up from the cozy bed for the sunday service. Once again, its another lovely sunday. Been to church and was rather tired. Get to spend time with my dad again...

Went to visit my grandpa and saw a few relatives. Was good to see them at first, grandpa was doing fine, relatives cooking food for alter and kids playing around. Then they start their conversation.

An extract of their conversation ( rough idea ) :
my uncle: one year give food one time only ar? Today we give, then Mon hungry how?
my dad: i agree.. what is the use of burning all these incense?
my uncle: you don't talk la.. for your Jesus, give thanks for the food for fuck? I believe in myself. U think u don't work got food ar? Ta ma de chi bye... ...

And on he rattle all the vulgar, profanity and disrespectful words right in front of my grandpa, my relatives, my dad ( in deep silent ) and me. All of a sudden, everyone was quiet for a short while.

Chi your own bye understand? HOW DARE U DON'T GIVE RESPECT TO MY DAD. FUCK YOU.

Not only u don't give respect to my dad, you don't even give a damn to what we believe in. And for that, don't blame me for reciprocating your attitude. You think u're well-built and married to my dad's eldest sister then u big fuck ar? Big biceps with small/petty brain people i've seen a lot. They are just around me. Buddhism big fuck is it? Bless you so much that your kids shot gun here and there. Bless you so much that your son register in ROM without even telling you until they sent a letter? Buddhism bless all my relatives who believes in him such that one of you go jail and the other divorce? My dad and i gave you all so much respect, participate in all the ruituals during my grandma's wake that cost a hefty $10,000 and over for the cheapskate, greedy and Bo Chap monks, just watching quitely all the events that is happening, dad forking out lots of money secretly for grandma's dialysis, try to visit grandparents all these done at the expense of family problem. There you are, thinking your own chi bye thinking. I know u earn a lot. Ex-illegal brookie of course earn a lot, but your ways is no different from prostitute u understand?

Straight after that silence, my attitude about them change. My dad told me it's normal. Their attitude has always been like that. Let me tell you that this incident will be embedded in my mind. Even u question your own religion, this shows how conceited, hyprocrite and simple-minded you are. Go hug your own buddha and go to hell. This entry is especially for you uncle. Hope you like it.

For readers who are unhappy about this entry can just nagivate away. My blog understand? So what if i'm a christian? You don't like christian, jolly well give some respect to us and stop thinking your own buddhism is a big fuck.

Weekend daze

Studies is never ending. Everytime i open up a book, tons of pages and words will be waiting for me to read them. Tell you frankly, other than studying, i don't know what else i should do with my life. Not dating, not working... Given this responsibility by my parents, i just try to do it well though i didn't really do that well. Always trying to study hard although i'm not smart. Going to a university does not mean i'm smart, it is just the product of my past hardworkingness...

During the time when i'm studying, i always like to think. Thinking of useless stuff... Thinking about people. Sometimes i know i am nobody to that person, but i still think of that person. It can even be a stranger. Sometimes i know thinking of this person will not change anything in my life, but just think because i miss them. Or am i thinking it because my brain neurons are firing at that exact position such that memories about that person just pop up? Or am i thinking because i'm choosing to think that way?

Sometimes i just think, and subconsciously that "image" is embedded in my brain. I don't know what is that "image", but later on in my life when that "image" happen, then i remember what is that image that i'm thinking. Happened a few times, but guess my brain are just screwed up. Been studying aimlessly i guess...

Oh ya.. had a chance to stand by my maid in the afternoon to watch her cook. Had a nice dinner also!! Well from the picture, roughly can tell how my maid cook this kind of dish already.. haha!! Her "pattern" is the same.. anyway her employment status ends this december and we won't have such good cook anymore le...
Been doing nothing, looking around my stuff and found this cup. Haha! Bought by Wanjing, Jo and some SBS friends during my birthday last year... i kinda like the breast... it produces some cute "ding ding" sound when u shake it hard... Been trying to guess what is inside that breast... But no matter what, i will not break my cup...Weekend are always nice...

My first practical for this semester

As usual, i woke up early today... Went to school for all the lectures and tutorials.. However today during practical, we get to manipulate a worm called Caenorhabditis elegans!! Haha!! I manage to take a picture from the pathetically small eyepiece of the microscope and find this creature very fascinating!! In fact, this is a model organism for us scientist to investigate particularly in the field of genetics. I kinda love the worm and the way it wriggles inself in the agar plate!

As usual, my dominating lab partner and i trying to isolate one worm from the plate by using a glob of bacteria... Don't be alarmed if you hear us scolding one another... its just our way of communicating...

Took a video of the worm!! Sorry for the bad filming... but because i'm doing everything from the eyepiece of the microscope, the exact positioning is hard to attain. Anyway next week we're going to deal with this stupid organism again and i believe i'll do a better job!

The lovely C.elegan busy with crawling...

This is indeed the most interesting event that happened to me today... and i hope to share this joy with everyone who read this blog!! though its only a small worm, some scientist spend the whole of their life with it. Be grateful of how wonderful life is! Smile always!!

Oh ya.. applied for INSTEP ( International Student Exchange Programme ) for a place in University of Alberta from Canada and University of Korea... Hope i can get it! If i can't get it again, i don't think i'm applying for any overseas exchange programme anymore le... Be hopeful!!

Busy days are here

This is only the start of the semester and i'm already feeling the stressful workload and tiredness. Finally its Wednesday and i got to rest a little bit more before another 3 days of 5.30am waking up. Have been very very tired these days, and slept almost every now and then...
In sch, nothing to do, look up the sky. Saw the beautiful place and just took a picture of it... Haha... i'm so bo liao... But perhaps for Kheng Boon who is so far away from Singapore, maybe u miss the school and appreciate this photo? HAHA!! This is the infamous neurobiology lecture. Anyway this lecture is actrocious. No use having NIE so close... He just can't teach... not that i'm reprimanding him, i'm just trying to do some justice to my school fees. Or at least the most basic responsibility of a professor is to teach properly and impart knowledge to us... isn't it? Btw, sorry for felling asleep twice in your lecture... the heavy eyelid just simply gave way to your lullaby...

Luckily today, my maid uses her magic finger and cook up a splendid dinner for me today! Mood was slightly better after that... The Ba Ku Teh is very nice... garlic smell permeates the air... together with the waffering smell of chicken meat and potato wedges... yum yum!!

Just hope tomorrow will be a better day!!

A small entry

Today is sunday. Went to church with an empty mind, hopefully to learn something new. Though i did not get what i wanted, i pondered about my life.

Every sunday whenever my dad makes an effort to go church with us, i will have slightly more time to talk to him. In fact i cherish my parents more then my friends, but that does not mean i don't cherish my friends. Thinking about what has happened, i never regret saying that.

Used to lead a Godly life during JC days. Had quiet time everyday and participate in church actively. Sat and sun confirm in church. When i entered army, the first 3 months basic military training is the toughest for me. There is a sudden change in lifestyle. You are a slave to this necessary evil, and i hate it to the core. Then i realised that only my parents were there for me. During POP, i remembered vividly both my parents come down from the stand, looking for me. I will never forget that moment of my life. My impression of church changed from then onward. To me, they are just a sunday kind of thing already. Don't blame me for thinking this way, cos when i needed u the most, u are just distant from me, despite spending more than 10 years in it...

So what if i used to go church every sunday? So what if i helped out the choir? So what if i go for fellowship? In the end, during the walk of life, you walk alone. Ok... i shall say it nicely, i walk with God only. Of course the friends there are nice. Honest with their feelings, helpful also, just a little gossipy and only stick to their own click. As usual. But that is that, and it stops there. Nothing wrong with it, its just like that. Still clinging on to church weakly with some church commitments, if not i may not even be going to church consistently every sunday.

Regarding my previous entry, i have no hard feelings. I'm just merely stating a fact. Seriously friendships are not as important as relationships. I recognized this fact already.

Eventually you'll realized, that your friends will not be there for you forever. Not even your best friend. Nothing in this world is fixed. It just keeps changing. Even we ourselves change. For the better or worse is up to us. Change is inevitable. Chatted with someone in church who is married. She too have good friends, and now don't even have time to meet up. Busy with family.

When you're ill, your friends will not be the ones to take care of you always. It's your spouse.
When you're tired, your friends will not be there to help you immediately. It's your spouse.
When your're sad, your friends will not be the ones to wipe your tears always. It's your spouse.
When you needed help, your friends will not help u forever. It's your spouse.
Relationship is more lasting then friendship.
All your friends can do, is to give u a pat on the back, encourage u to be strong and continue to walk on in life. They will not be the ones involved in your life 24 hours.

Therefore i'll understand if relationship weighs more then friendship. Its normal. There will always be exceptions, but its the norm for now. Cheers... Hope tomorrow will be a better day... always...

Flowers bloom, flowers die... but at least it bloomed now. Enjoy its beauty and complain not why it can't be more beautiful. Share the joy and give thanks always...

Encouraging comments from reader:

honeystar: IF God is in the centre of friendships, i can tell u 100% they do last. N serve with a purpose. When ur vertical relationship w God is right, naturally, ur horizontal relationship w pple will b too!=)

Joseph: not everyone believes in God.. then how? know u're talking in a christian pt of view... understood what u say.. but sometimes reality is far from theory...

honeystar: Then u show them what it is like to be a good and long lasting friend. Dont make Christianity sound so dead. Live it out and u will know what I mean. But ur mindset has to change wor..=D

Will: BMT was tough for me too. Thanks for helping me get through those days!

francis: one of the most sincere and honest blogs ard.. keep ur entry going ya .. Cheers and stay happy always! =)

Realization

I have finally realised something.

Boyfriend rulez

Friendship sucks

Disappointed

It's your day Singapore

Happy Birthday Singapore. In fact, i'm not happy to say that. Not that i'm not proud of you.

I am proud of you. I love you. Always wanted to participate in celebrating this once-in-a-year event in Marina with you. But u never gave me any tickets for the past 23 years.

No mood for you. But i'm sure a lot of people will shout for joy, not because of your birthday, but because of the honour for those who marched in the parade, the number of days off they will get after the marching, the CCA points students will get after the whole event, the goodie bags they will be receiving and of course, the final finale of the fireworks. Who knows, those who say they love you are in fact hypocrites. Why? Because just by saying is not enough. Prove that you love Singapore by doing something. Action speaks louder then words.

I shall coop up myself at home watching the miserable telecast instead.

A sucky day

NTU... your Edventure is pissing me off. Why it is that i got this everytime i click the Edventure? Stop being a smart alec, upgrade here and there and in the end cock up yourself. But i guess it's normal again. Administration sucks. Server sucks. Allocation of electives sucks sometimes also. Guess the only time u can buffer all the bombardment of my "suckiness" is when u give me a hall to stay. However i think its highly unlikely since u wanna stay as a sucker. Don't give me the excuse of not having enough hall blah blah... built more and stop all your "we already tried our best" and "must join CCA" mentally. What is hall for? Frankly, it doesn't serve its purpose to accomodate students living far away. So the purpose of hall is for those who joined at least one CCA? Even my friend who joined one CCA also can't get hall. Not enough points. Do we need to join two? Join two CCA also pointless since u are taking the CCA with the highest points. You and your points systems sucks. Sucky. Suckable. Suckamania. In fact at this moment, all the vulgarities like fuck bloody shit CB etc is just at the verge to spill out, but it did anyway for now since i typed it already... You can suck all my vulgarities away if u want.

Its ok really. We do become suckers inevitably as times... Don't u eat bananas? Stop being one and quickly fix your own server before more people feed u with bananas and make u the ultimate sucker among Singapore universities.

Kinda like the word sucks.

First time taking train/bus to sch

Yesterday is the first day of sch! I've been staying in hall for the past two years. Since i can't get any hall, therefore it was the first time i'm taking a train/bus to sch!! The journey is really tiring... roughly 1hour 45 mintues, especially on the way back, we are practically like sardines... Cannot even sit anywhere...

The neurobiology lecture really cannot make it. Makes me so worried that i bought a second hand textbook from Hong Wei this morning at 8.30am in Tanjong Pagar! She's working there and seems... tired.. haha!! Price of the book is secret, cos i'm selling it again and well... at a price that i deem would do justice to this book. Lol... anyway more learning is coming up!

Still coping well, but perhaps the nightmare has yet to come. Hope everyone in school will enjoy studying! Its not that bad afterall, considering everyone in SBS is like a small family... :)

Pre-school syndrome

Sch starting in 2 days time... Felt moody... a little feverish.. felt miserable and forced myself to go out and purchase the mrt concession.. don't know why.. after the trip, felt that all the misery has returned... my own self-created misery... perhaps its ok... It should be this way, so that when happy things happened, i will be happy.

Yesterday wanted to blog about the people i went after before, but anyway i dropped the idea and deleted the entry. No point. It does not change anything. Went out in the afternoon to visit the sick Wanjing with Jo in Boon Lay and coincidentally met Huiting. In the evening, Jessica wanted to come my house for a movie. Cycled to fernvale to fetch her ( sweating profusely ), watched a movie before sending her back again in early wee hours.

I believe when sch starts, i will not have time to blog anymore. Do take care all my friends... Thanks so much for encouraging me not to get depress thinking those negative stuff..Trying to smile always...

Cameron Highland + Genting trip!

On 29th July sunday, i had a chance to go on a trip to Cameron Highland and Genting with my friends! 5 of us went actually.... Wanjing ( the coordinator ), Wendy, Jonita, Sa and me! Met up at Lavenda Mrt at 9.30pm, walked all the way to Golden Mile before boarding the bus at 10.30pm. Haha! We are so relieve that the bus got entertainment!! Games and movies... :) Wanjing and me!Took a very very long ride all the way from Singapore to Cameron. The bus stopped for 3 times before ending at Brinchang, one of the 9 towns in Cameron Highland! When we first reached, we initially thought it was just another stop. Stepping out of the bus, the cool wind welcomed us. Weather is very nice. Bought a hot tea before going back to the bus. Hmm... then suddenly, a woman entered the bus and started to recommend us different packages to us. They include
1) Leisure tour ( 25RM )
2) Nature Discovery Tour ( 60RM )
3) Agro Delight Tour ( 65RM )
4) Sunrise Spectacular ( 65RM )
5) Moonlight Rendezvous ( 65RM )
6) Amazing Rafflesia
Each have their own plus points i guess. Haha... Initially the woman speak with such honesty and persuasiveness that we almost purchased 2 tour packages. But finally we decided to go for the Nature Discovery Tour before making any further decision. Tight on budget!
Take a look at the Equatorial hotel where we stayed for one night! Took this picture because got our national flag. Haha...

A majestic view from the balcony of our hotel!!Look at that... i can't believe what i saw when i first look at it... its as if we are living among greeneries! Countryside i mean... haha...

Next is the start of our tour! A van took the 5 of us ( and 2 other Eurasian ) to a nearby tea plantation. What a large piece of land!! Took a number of photos from this tea plantation because the scenery was really enchanting... together with the cooling breeze that is blowing continuously at you, the feeling was fantastic!!

Taking a photo with the tea plantation behind me! Though it looks like a flat piece of land, the tea plant was in fact in the valley.

Large piece of land filled with tea plantation. Mountainous also!Tea plantation on the mountain itself. Let me tell u little bit about what the tour guide told us. This tea plantation is owned by a scottish living in KL now. Each working is paid 23 cents RM per kg of leaves harvested! Upon the harvest, it will be sent to a factory nearby where it can then be made into green tea ( non-fermented ), black tea ( fully fermented ) and Oolong tea ( semi-fermented ).

Another photo of me!

Tea plant! Short and stout... haha...

Jonita and me posing in the pic. Haha.. Her face was apparently covered... Sa, Wendy and Wanjing behind us!

Look at where the van is? The next four picture is taken from there

Looking straight from that area

At the left of that area

In case all of you didn't notice, there are white flags at certain boundaries of the tea plantation. Look at the left centre of this picture. The white flags are present to signify to the aeroplane NOT to add fertilisers, because these tea plants are undergoing pruning. Temperature here is around 16 degrees!

Everyone trying to take a closer look at the tea plant

Next, we went all the way up the mountain!!! Rocky and meandering... Seriously, the condition of the road is accident prone. A lot of turning was like 90 degree and there is no way u can ensure 100% safety before making that turn. What the driver did was before making a sharp turn, he would horn aloud to alert any possible car at the opposite side. Got a little giddy actually.. haha...

At the top of the mountain, we saw this viewing tower. The next 4 photos are taken from the top of the tower. Oh my... the cold wind was blowing continuously at us, not sparing us a little bit... the bitter cold entered our bones and truly makes us shiver...

Standing at the top of the viewing tower, we had a wonderful view afar!!! The view is paramonic, enchancing the majesty of it...

A shot taken by turning clockwise about 90 degrees.

Look at the greenies! They are so beautiful... the red-white structure is just a communication tower. Notice at the bottom of this pic, the metal grill is rusty? In fact, the whole viewing tower is super duper rusty. This is what makes the climbing up frightening... you never know when the rusty metal give way!! ( the rust also makes my hand itchy... ) Oh ya... plus the icy cold wind which is so strong that it really sway my whole body when it blows... its difficult to maintain the camara at a still position..

Truly portray the real beauty of Malaysia... The tour guide say u can even see Ipoh from here!

Take a look at the scenery that i videotaped it at the top of Cameron Highland! Filming the top view first, before filming the bottom of the scenery!!

As we are leaving the top of the mountain, we are ushered into the "jungle" for a "nature walk" with the spongy mud everywhere... haha! All our shoes are stained with mud. For the girls who wore sandels, their feet are not spared... look at this squarish stone? This is a marking which demarcates the international boundaries of Pahang and Pekan. ( btw, Cameron Highland is in the state of Pahang, Malaysia ) The position where this lady is standing is Pahang. Once she stepped towards the greener side, she would be in Pekan already.

Everyone climbing carefully, trying to gain a firm hold on the branches to stabilize themselves.

Listening to the tour guide

Our tour guide!

A pitcher plant. Notice that is it brown in colour? Anyway the tour guide said something about colour of the pitcher plant and the position relating to it... haha... cannot remember... but brown pitcher plant is found in areas where there is less sunlight.

Climbing down is as dangerous as climbing up!

White pitcher plant! normally found is places where light is abundant... :) You know how difficult it is to take this pitch plant?? The place i'm standing is a dead end. Immediately behind me is nothing and in front of me is this stupid white pitcher plant. The place i'm standing is less the 35cm. Sian...

Our lovely feet after the trekking! The tour guide still want us to pack some mud home for facial.. haha..Can't remember where i took this 2 pictures... hehe...

At the end of the nature discovery tour, we were given these and a bottle of mineral water! Delicious strawberry pastry and pandan cake!!

This is a butter cake. Anyway the strawberry pastry cake is really nice. I like the jam the most.. :P

Next we are brought to our final destination of this tour. Some sort of trying to expose ourselves to the living environment of these native people known as Orang Asli. I think all of us agree that this is not really like "native" enough... there is not much of a culture from what we can see... haha..

Beening wondering why i'm taking this picture? Actually these 4 girls are looking a 2 beautiful cat on top and a cock ( male hen ) in front of them. Haha... we are so noob...A picture of the hut of the native people.

The entire journey, though lasted only 3 hours or so, was very tiring for us because we did not have a good night sleep yesterday. The bus was giving us a bumpy ride...

Had our first lunch!

After we had our lunch, we went back to the hotel taking a taxi ride which cost us 18RM. Rested a while before going out again! On the way, we saw lots of cactus!! Some are very beautiful... haha... i bought 6 of them before all of us leaves for the town of Brinchang...

More cactus!The interior of one of the souvenir shop

When we reached Brinchang, we tried to search for halal food. In the end, we found a place which have steamboat and feast upon the seafood that cost us only 65RM!!! It was filling...

A picture taken before we feast upon the steamboat!Waiting for the steamboat to come

After the steamboat, we walked around the vicinity where there are a few shops here and there. Saw this cute tea bags packed nicely in a wooden box and just took a picture of it.

Tea leaves with nice packaging

Our final shop is Secret Recipe!! Haha!! Of course of course... compare to Singapore, the cakes here are much cheaper and i bought myself a slice of Chocolate Indulgence... Very chocolatey and creamy indeed...

Irresistible chocolate muffin!

Reached the hotel late in the night. After the girls bathed, i soak myself in a bath tub... Arh.... the feeling is heavenly because the outside weather is freezing!!! Serious... but so nice of the girls to wait for me before we had a game of Uno Stacko and Uno card game!

Woke up early in the morning, opened the curtain and WOW... The mist makes the whole place stunning...

Initially i thought we are living in the clouds... but don't think so la... should be just mist...

Taking at another angle

Mist slowly clearning away...

After a quick pack up, we had our complimentary breakfast buffet in Equatorial hotel before leaving Cameron Highland for Genting. 2 breaks were given during the journey~

When we reached Genting, we check-in First world hotel, rested a while and then walked around the area. The hotel lobby of First world hotel. A picture taken just outside the lobby of First World HotelHaha.. the first indoor games we played were the bumper ride! See... the girls are so tired... ( in fact they had a conspiracy already... they just want to bump me because i'm rather irritating yesterday night while playing the uno stacko.. haha!! )

Last year came the Genting before... hmm... this place was under renovation. Look its so nice now!

Anyway that's all the picture i took. After the windowshopping Jonita went back to hotel to rest while the rest of us watched a movie "Invisible Target" for 10RM. This show is really... action pack and a little violent.. haha... not bad!!!

hmm... the next day, we woke up rather late. Wanjing, Jonita, Wendy and me decided to take a walk around Genting. Haha! The mist was heavy!!! Tried to take a few photos here and there ba... saw a squirrel also!! Took a picture in the mists of mist... Everything is like a mist hor?However since today is the last day, we had a busy schedule. Went to the outdoor theme park for 2 hours only. Tried a few games before we check out and leave for the bus terminal. One thing i noticed... i had sunburn!! Though i didn't get into the sun, and the weather is 24 hours super cold, i guessed the clouds didn't really gave their full protection in the highlands.... Been in the mountain always.. Weather is so dry that my lips cracked... skin pealing off from the sunburn.. haha...

Yet the whole journey was truly an enjoyable trip. Enjoyed all their company and i'm feeling very happy. Perhaps i'll update this entry again when i got more photos from them!
