Team Johor Did It!

Did what you may ask.

Did it to be the overall champion again!!

I'm so frigging happy now cz jz got a sms from P and he said that team JOHOR is the overall champion again! Gold cup!! Woohoo.. It's really an honour each time we can take back that gold cup which is big enough to cook steamboat with it. Besides, we managed to win 10, TEN, TEN challenge trophies this time in the national comp. Record breaking seriously. Congratulations team Johor. :D

In case you are wondering what is all this about, it is the St. John National Comp held at Pulapol last Sat. And although i don't know anyone from the team other than knowing them through my bro (cz he helped P to trained them), but really tumpang gembira for such a proud achievement by team Johor. It's like can really see the improvement of team Johor since we first started winning medals and becoming one of the strongest team around in national competition.

Seriously, i got soooooo much to update but im tired like crazy cz i jz traveled back and forth fr Kl and i still had one last presentation to go, 4 case write ups and tons and tons and tons to study cz my exam is comingggg and i frigging can't really start studying yet. And yes, i wna update about Watsons contest, about my experience in O & G, some thoughts to share (and maybe by the time i really had time 2 update, it is not the same thing as im thinking right now anymore) but but but i really don't have a proper time now.

So, after exam, i will definitely update! It's just a few weeks more. Wish me luck! ;)

Milo Dinosaur

#72 (22.5.09) - Went to the recently open Uncle Chua noodle house for lunch and this caught my attention - Milo Dinosaur. Price at RM 4.50 i thought that i can easily come up with a more concentrated and better version myself. hehe.. cause it's just Milo, condense milk, ice and more milo. How hard can that be? And with the one i do myself, i can reduce the sweetness to reduce my risk of diabetes. hehe.. Drink this everyday and i'm sure in half a year, you'll be a diabetic candidate.

#73 - Dissatisfied with yesterday Milo Dinosaur, i decided to create my very own Milo Dino-dino, which is actually a glass of concentrated Milo with no condense milk or sugar added cz Milo in itself is already sweet. Don't believe me? Try eating Milo on it's own and you'll know. :p

Ta-da! Milo Dino-dino!! 8 scoops of Milo and no ice added, just chilled in the refrigerator. :). Yum! And i charge you all FOC!! hahaha...

That's all for now. Till my next update. Hopefully after exam! :p

Sekayu Waterfall

Couple caught showing PDA at the waterfall. It's not much of a big deal seriously except that i thought they can be caught under the syariah..hu hu.. actually we were kinda bad disturbing their sweet, private moment and i was contemplating to post or not to post this pic but then i thought since they don't mind showing PDA, it means they don't mind everyone to see it. *so bad*

Ok, so what an intro to my coming post. haha.

I was so dead tired yesterday and was rushing my presentation so could only blogged about this today. There's also a lot of pics in this post so be prepared and a real long story of how i nearly got swept down the waterfall :p.

Last Sat, a whole bunch of us went to Sekayu Waterfall in Kuala Berang, which is about an hour drive from KT. As usual, we could never leave on the planned time so we reached Sekayu at about 10 am. We must had choosed the right day to go for this waterfall outing as the sun was shining superbly duperbly bright that morning. Better sun than rain at the waterfall.

# 66 - It's a good thing we took this pic b4 going up the waterfall because it rained later on when we were going back. I know, it was so hot all the time and it suddenly rained. But just as we were about to leave. Good timing. Would had been even better if the rain had waited for us to get into our car before pouring.

Sun block applying session before proceeding to prevent ourselves from getting burn

It is a fact that drowning cases had happened at this waterfall. But then again, drowning cases happened at all waterfalls so.... A warning sign to warn us about the danger of the sudden increase in water current. Good job

There are seven cascade altogether and we definitely do not want to settle at the lowermost part of the waterfall so we hike a little until we reach this part that is more for jungle trekkers

Finally, we decided to settled here at the fifth cascade of the waterfall. We were practically the only ones here except for another group of Malay boys who daringly dived into the water repeatedly (like in Jason Mraz I'm Yours music video!haha)

With all the girls before i went into the water

Unleashing his other potential in water.. they really let their hair down

Despite the hot sun, the water is very cold here but it was at the same time comfortable just soaking the lower half of our body in the water enjoying the coolness and fast flow

After swimming around, the guys can't resist the temptation of diving into the water as well. Dd doing the jump

This is CW. I almost can't resist trying too but i was too scared of the cold water..-.-

One of the Malay boys having his bouts of fun at the waterfall.. holding on to one of those long, strong branches of a tree and going into the water

We moved around various spots in the waterfall taking pics and enjoying the coldness and refreshing feeling of the water

Some of them didn't want to get wet, so they entertained themselves with other activities like catching tadpoles. Real, big fat tadpoles.

Or just enjoying the serenity and scenery with a good book. Act this is a very nice pic except for that pack of rubbish. arrgghhh.. what a spoiler

These 3 girls try to keep themselves as dry as possible. Sitting at various dry spots to take pic

Come guess.. whose legs does these belong to? haha

DD and me beside the flowing water

Parts of the waterfall

More waterfall pics

At some part, the water is actually pretty stasis, not flowing but it is very clear

This is my fav pic of the whole bunch of 400+ pics.. looks like JW is standing on the rocks right with the gushing water beneath him.. this pic was not taken by me. Lou took this and did not even realized the effect of his phototaking

Finally we were all so hungry and had our lunch of nasi lemak and mee siam and junkies while CW entertained us with the guitar

After lunch, we decided to continued our journey to the highest level of the waterfall - the 7th cascade but we had to go through some steep rocks. Helping each other climbing the rocks

And that's where i spotted these pools of black, stagnant waters. Eeuch.. But this is just a small small part only. Overall, the waterfall is still quite clean and beautiful

The guys at the 7th cascade. (they further climbed up the rocks to explore the very top)

While we girls decided to just sit around and enjoy the nice view. The water up here is very fast flowing and it is very deep too

One sign to know that the water is flowing fast is when you see all these bubbles (the headwater). The more the bubbles, the faster the flow of water.

Saw the orange arrow in the previous pic? Looks just like a short distance right? So, i tried crossing that small area to get to the other side because it is more shady but the water was flowing soooo rapidly and the stones was soooooooo slippery that with the first step i took, the water force pushed me to go along with the flow of water and before i knew it, i slipped and was flowing together with the water going down the waterfall to the next cascade. It just happened in a matter of seconds and seriously, i was only about 50m away from flowing down the next cascade (like in the movies when they fall off a large cascade of waterfall, only that i dno if the bottom is deep enough for me to fall and not hurt myself or if the water flow will actually slow down so that i wont fall cascade by cascade and finally hit my head against some rock at the lowermost part) so in a frantic i tried grabbing any possible stones or thick branches so that i won't be swept along but the stones were way too slippery and there were no branches. What saved me was actually 2 huge rock that blocked my path. Just as i was being swept along with the water, my legs hit the rocks and THAT prevented any ugly outcome. Those rocks enabled my friends to react and come pulled me out of the water. I must say i was really lucky and the fear did not hit me until later when i thought back and thought of all the worst things that might had occured if the rocks had not break my fall. So, it is really true that knowing how to swim is totally useless in this case. The force is too strong for me to swim against it and the whole situation was just unfavourable for swimming. Maybe if the flow of water had been slower, then swimming could definitely save you. Now that i think back, i really felt very thankful and fortunate and thank God for protection.

DD sat on a fallen tree at the top of the waterfall

And then he tried to crawled over it while JW was walking behind him. They certainly love risks

This is actually the same spot where i had slipped and nearly got swept away! He was lying just slightly above the very point that i slipped but funny, he was not swept. Maybe cz he wasn't lying at the very point that the water became very fast flowing

Vic was sooo tired that he crawled right beside DD and slept right there

Told you the fear did not come till later. I could still happily take pics at that time ~

We left right at the moment the thunder started rumbling in the sky and raindrops started falling. This is the pathway that we came down to our spot at the waterfall so we were heading back up. It's not a proper pathway because at some parts, it was pretty steep.

And the moment i got up, the drizzle turned into cats and dogs and we had to ran all the way to our car soaked wet. Luckily, i did not come down with any cold yet but yes, the body aches started aching it's way already and i'm a whole round tanner again. (even with sunblocks)

But despite having nearly got into an unpredictable accident, i still enjoyed the whole outing and was really relieved that NO accident happened. :)

One Years Old

The lift of WT is not functioning today!! Gotta climb practically nine flight of stairs. Had to chunked on my bar of chocolate when i reached home. Nd power booster. Maybe it's really a sign that i shd start putting my thoughts into action. Cz i been thinking of climbing the stairs everyday as preparation to climb Mt.KK, to build up stamina but everyday when i had to choose between the lift and stairs, excuses will be form to skip the stairs.

Anyway, me and DD celebrated our 1st anniversary last Wed. :)

We had class and all the usual routine in the morning and noon, so we could only went out for a nice dinner. Quite a headache deciding where to go also because i wanted somewhere memorable to celebrate this memorable day so everything should be especially memorable that night cz it's the night, not just any normal dinner. Cheesez, you get what i mean right. In the end, we decided on Verandah Restaurant, Ri-Yatz Heritage. It is my 2nd visit. (try not to come here so often on normal days) This restaurant is like one of the most high end and nicest restaurant in KT. I think for the next 2 years +, everytime we wna go somewhere nicer for celebration or dinner, this is sure the place to be. (see why try not to come here just on normal days?) For a nice ambiance and fairly good food with reasonable price, where else to find? Although Ri-Yaz real location is in Pulau Duyong but really, it is just 15 minutes drive from KT town.

And usually on weeknights like this, we will be the one who book down the whole restaurant. (cz there will be only us and the waiters/waitresses). hehe

Actually, the ambiance is really nice and comforting and spacious. And they have all these huge-boomerang shape like planks decorating the restaurant.

Hot hazelnut chocolate to sip and share

My main course of the day - Peppered Fish Seabass served with fried flour, brocolis, carrots and some leafy vegetables. The seabass is very fresh and i can still feel the tingling pepper sensation at the corner of my mouth

DD's Country Barbeque Chicken also served with brocolis, potatoes and some fried flour. Ho-chak :)

The following pics are mainly camwhored pics which includes the classic-pose-with-food pic and big face pics. :p

Savouring the aroma of my peppered seabass

Greedy piggy wna dig in already

There's this band performing live and specially dedicating to us whatever song we wna hear including Chinese songs.

DD and me at the Verandah

Before we move on to our deserts, DD whipped out his guitar and serenade me with 'I'm Yours'. It's the first time ever that anyone serenade me, so i can't help laughing at 1st but DD told me not to laugh and be serious. Ok, so no laughing but can still smile and secretly savour the moment in my heart.

Looks like a lot for desert! haha

I wish time could stood still that very moment

It's one year for us now :)

Silly faces

It's been a great one year DD. I came to understand not only you more, but also myself more. You had been by my side all this while, even when we are angry at each other and never fail to make me laugh at the end of the day. Sometimes i felt that we are just like the south and north pole of a magnet and i wonder how true is it that opposite attracts. Thank you for everything you had done for me which makes me truly bless, happy and secure to be by your side. Happy Anniversary :)
