Wonders of mother nature...
Back... from Gua Musang... My first climbing trip ever.. Had loads of fun with de walls, the pple and de mosquitos.. It was my first time on a train too, we took the sleeping berths, its not as bad i thot it was, the train has air-con and is pretty clean and neat with de exceptions of a few roaches scamppering around.
Made new acquaintances too, with people like Alvin, Beverly, Chao yi, Derrick, Jason, Junyuan and Siu Foon. All members of the expedition, all very nice and friendly people..

Day 1 Tuesday
After 12 hours on the train.. we finally arrived.. Took a cab to the rock site and was stranded outside de place for an hour coz the security guard was nowhere to be found..and despite the little sleep we had on the train we went to rock climb immediately after settling down. The rocks formations impressed me totally, its amazing how the rocks are formed to allow good grip and great footholds for one to step on.. We climbed till late afternoon and in all i manage to climb 4 routes? I tink? Once back at the chalet, we started cookin a feast consisting of 10 packs of instant noodle. Meanwhile at the other room...they were having eggs with pasta sauce and macroni with pasta sauce..
Cheng Tng was served as desert.. it tasted great except for the uncooked sago seeds which was later used as a punishment for our games.. For our night activities we played games like Bridge, indian poker, bluff, dai dee and asshole dai dee. After the games it was lights out for Alvin, Jason, Siu foon and me, while it was more bridge for Beverly, Chao yi, Derrick and Junyuan.

Day 2 Wednesday
Woke up ard 12 in de afternoon.. where we had to make a decision btw climbing more and slackin ard the chalet.. Even though i was aching pretty badly from de previous day climb.. i was eager to climb again becoz i dunno when i'll be doin this again..
Our lunch was sunflower seeds and melted 'Crunch' chocolate over game after game of bridge.. Climbin ended ard 4 after which half of de group rushed of to the train station to buy tickets home while the other half stayed at de chalet to wait for a person to collect payment? hmm..
The ticketin station was closed when we got there and wld be open only at 9pm later that day... left with not much choice we walked towards de town area and had late lunch and spent the rest of our waiting time exploiting the KFC(one and only fastfood), with just 3 drinks and a box of nuggets we left our bags there and went to explore around the town.. heehee evil pple we are...

Finally... after 5 long hours of waiting.. we finally boarded the train where more bridge was played till it was bedtime...

Day 3 Thursday
Finally home.. left with just an sms informing my dad that i'll be away... so better get my ass home fast.. I had fun.. thanks to all of them.. =D

Mum's love...
I had to pissed my mum off for the last time before she left for Korea..Typical hot-tempered me, when will i ever learn to control my temper?
It is odd why we always take people we care most about for granted and this time round its my mum whom i provoked... the one who constantly looks out for me, worries for me and cares for me...the one whom i owe my whole life to and gives me advice when i'm lost..My mum is one whom i would consider as a strong woman, being a career woman that she is and working in a male dominated environment, she has manage to juggle her work and family well. Though she is not expressive in showing her love, her constant peepin into our rooms in the wee hours of the morning and her once-in-a-while chat in our rooms to know about our lives shows how much we mean to her..
I love u Mum and i'm sorry....


Dearest mummy of mine.. Posted by Hello
Busy busy bee...
The past few weeks has left me very very busy indeed, busy till the extend that i'm constantly updating past posts which i drafted but never really published.. I love bloggin but am never fast enough to complete a post in a few minutes.

Other than being busy, i've been losing sleep due to a book which i borrowed from Shawnie(as michie calls him.. lolz) a romance novel from Danielle Steel entitled Full Circle.. I would grade it 8/10 for the inspiring storyline.. The book talks about how the protagonist moves from an innocent teen to a successful career woman who is able to juggle both family and work. Her insecurities on issues along her stages of life and how she over came them and how she handled her emotional conflicts.. Very vague review? I can pass the book to you if u are interested..

On Marker...
He is an ass.. like i have always known ever since i manage to dig out what he did to his previous girlfriend..But somehow after my bintan trip, i seem to be alot more easy on issues which used to bother me alot. And i think credit of coz should go to my friends.. Every single one of them..
Me and mark we started talkin again, with less tension and more normal friendly chat like what we used to have.. It feels like post war era.. where everything is so nice and serene(think huge green pastures and a tiny little cottage in the middle of it, with smoke coming out of the chimney).. hope this war-torn times is gonna go for good..Hello happy times?

Alvernia Hotel...
Went to visit May(Minieyes)..She's down with the dengue and we suspect the mosquito that infected her was a lesbian. Luckily she doesn't look as bad as i thot she would.. She was up on bed laughing and jokin around as though she was there for a hotel stay rather than seeking treatment.. Thankfully she is alrite.. if all goes well we might be able to go rock climbing by next monday AGAIN! But in the meantime, better for her to recuperate first..

Beautiful Friday..
Have not been hearing from Mark for the past 3 days.. and i'm not feeling the loss or awkardness i used to have anymore.
There could be 2 reasons to this:
1. I'm getting independent, which i was all along but more so this time round.
2. My feelings left me, i finally realise that our relation is not goin to work out.

I'm not too sure which one is it, or maybe it is non of the above. It is slightly more than 2 weeks before his return, it would seem really wasted not to hang on, but like wat spencer said, do not stay if you're hanging on because of obligations. Am i doin that?


My new idiotic-lookin fringe Posted by Hello

JB Again..
As like all previous trips, this trip was no difference..the company was fun, the stuffs are cheap, the food is great, i bought things which i wanted and i even got my hair cut. The few disappointments would be the hairstylist sucked, he totally destroyed my fringe! It looks terribly messy now, my kawaii girl image is GONE! Ahhh Idiot hairstylist.. Idiot idiot idiot... Other than the irritatin hairstylist, we had bad durians as well, thanks to kek haha..Overall a simply great day!
Back from Bintan! It was really great and it could have been better if the weather was sunny. Didn't manage to get the tan that i so wanted but it was still fun hanging out with Jon and the rest of his gang. Everything there is just so nice and laid back, i totally forgot about the word 'TIME'. Wished i had stayed there longer. I haven't felt so relaxed for a long long time since my major quarrel.

Learnin Trip
Other than having fun in Bintan, i learnt abit bout Bridge rules too, though i'm not exactly sure how does it work or how do u actually go about playin that game and why the hell do u need to bid?

Totally tiring day. Spent my day Rock-Climbing at Yishun Safra Country Club.. Sounds so posh, but actually anyone who had been or is an SAF staff will have that card. Met up with BingQuan, May, Kelvin, Spencer and at 2 and we call ourselves de~ Nokia Climbing Team. There was a slight drizzle on our way to the club but thankfully it stopped after a while, so there we were climbing away, up and down those harsh and rocky surfaces where it is impossible not to hurt yourself. Luckily for me, all i got was 3 scratches and plenty of mosquitos bites. All in all it was hell of a fun time and with all the endorphines created, i found it almost impossible to lose my temper for the whole day.

I got a card..
Home sweet home was exciting as well.. recieved the long awaited 1 yr anniversary card from Mark. The contents was touchin and sweet like all his other cards and letters to me.. Only this time round the card failed to touch me like how it did in the past. Now i'm sure, something in me has died.
