Trip to Kuala Selangor with friends!

Arloes!
I hope you all are in the pink of life!

Today I was suppose to go for rock climbing (again) with Meng, but it turns out it was not operational till 2pm! Hence we has to take a rain check. I tell you arr... I AM SO DISSPOINTED! They did not state it anywhere (in their brochures) bout their opening time (But in the weekends they open early la - thats why the previous time we went in the morning). So aniway....we hung around lor...hehe. Had Burger King! Yum yum... the Double Swiss Mushroom was great (as usual). After that, we watched Die Hard 4.0, the movie was so so ok la. Later on tonite, I had VIOLIN class!! After three months of stopping due to the internship in FH Communications, I actually barely practised...hehe. None the less, I was a little rusty here and there. My teacher said I was too tensed up and kept tapping hardly on my shoulder to loosen my muscles, lol. Anyway, I am glad it is over (must practise d, hm...).

Yesterday:
We went to Kuala Selangor (road trip, yeah!)!!! For fun and enjoyment la...heheh.. We drove all the way there to feed monkeys (lots of em) and had really yummy and cheap seafood!. There was me, Yiang, Rachel, Edwin, Ah Fai and Ah Boy. The girls went in Yiang's oh-so-red-and-cute-MyVi while the guys went in Edwin and Rach's black Kenari. We bought 60 kgs worth of bananas for the monkeys!!! Muahaha.... no worries, I didn't curi and eat...lol.

The view of the "anak pokok kelapa sawit"...

Whatcha looking at? Gggrrrr.....

Rachel looking cute there!

They know we bring good tidings of food!!!

FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!

The trees were filled with them!

Rachel has a bond with em...

Nothing to look honey, that's banana skin... come and take some more la...

Duduk aje... Senang-lenang lepak there....hehe

BABY MONKEY! The adults one are black but the babies are golden in colour! Thay are so adorable! This little fella was left by its mum when she was too busy grabbing for more bananas. Aaawww...but it gave us a change to get close to it and sayang....

I totally like this picture of Yiang and the monkey... its so sweet.

He climbed on me...hehe.. nice...

After berebuting for so long, the monkey finally won....Note the monkey in mid-air, Snapped in the nick of time!

After the monkey feeding, we drove to some restaurant by the sea for dinner... This is the scene from the restaurant dock.

Random: The place where they tangkap crabs or prawns?

Hehehe....

The muddy water... ewww.. but the seafood from it sedap la....lol.

Before makan, Cheese!!!

The almost finished food... there was sayur, sting ray in really nice spicy sauce, small fried sotongs, soft sheel crab with salted egg yoke and LALA!!!

All in all, the trip was pleasant and fun. Thanks to Rachel for inviting, Edwin for leading, Yiang for driving (Rach too) with her car and all the monkeys for the fun!
Next time we go again...hehe, or to Ulu Yam for waterfalls!!!
Till the next post, I bid you a blessed day ahead and hugz!

The Weekend....

This Weekend was full, awesome and totally errrrr....not boring? LOL.
Let's start with Saturday.....

I WENT FOR ROCK CLIMBING!!! YEAH BABY!!! LIFE HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER!!! LOL!

Okay... if you are a typical sceptic and you-think-you-know-me person... then you would probaly think "Philee can climb ar?" Right?
The truth is.... I CAN! And I did better than I thought I could - so did me dad (he was real proud of me!) Seriously... I really wanted to do it but at the same time I was doubting the fact that if I could really do it (lots of people discouraged me saying Im too "princess-ly lembik" to do so - first one said by mum own mother!) but I end up doing more than I thought......hehehe. I am sooo thrilled!
Went ot Camp 5 (largest indoor climbing gym in Asia) at One Utama with my dad and his colleague Jecy (who turned out to be very young - so got friend...hehe). Jecy and I both took the Taster Session - RM 45 per person for 1 hour with a marshal. While my dad just hunged around to keep on eye on us- or me...hehe.
We started with a boulder (which didn't seem easy to me at first - gulp) but I end up doing it! Hehehe... twice - actually the second time was at a different section - harder one. And I managed it with a drip of sweat (ok la for me).... the harderst part was to jump off the boulder! It didnt's seem high from down there but from UP there, it was a little freaking high! But there was no where to get down but jump, so I DID! And it actually felt good....hehehe.
Later on... we proceed to the minor but rocky wall.... It seemed quite high at first... but I managed to conquer it! Hehehe...twice!
FYI, the wall climbing (except the boulders) are done with harnesses and ropes with the support of the marshal - meaning you climb and the marshal "holds" the rope down the to support you in case you jatuh. HLLC youth.. think SWAT camp - high ropes course remember?
Next, we proceed to the castle wall! It was sorta easy looking but then again, looks can be deceiving... managed to climb all the way top, TWICE again! And I tell you the feeling was just AWESOME!
After that.... it was the Sentinal Wall (14 metres)! It was much tougher was we had to try to climb in "colours" - meaning only hold specific "rocks". But then again... after all that climbing earlier, I was sorta quite tired. My vision was actually a little blur....hahah... topping over d.... But still I went for it... halfway. In which I lost grip - cause no strength and jatuh! In which of course the harness caught me la!
Jecy was better than me... she made it 3/4 way up the Sentinal wall before falling (she used to climb a lot ma...). Despite being tired... the 1 hour session was not over, so we proceed to the Autowall (16meters i think)....
Again... I was already quite tired... hence I could only get half way up there before losing my grip and "jatuhing" with the mercy of their canggih harnest. Just when I thought it was over.... the marshal asked me to try again and this time at the slanting (IS IT?) and harder Autowall! No need to say la... normal one also I lose grip di... this one ar...tak sampai 1/4 I jatuh d!
Hahaha... yeah so the last few ones I didn't make it all the way to the top (but normal la, Jecy also couldn't, some more I am a first timer) but I am real proud of myself - my dad too (he hasn't praised me this much since....er....haha).

So I climbed - 2 boulders, 2 minor rocky walls, 2 castle walls, 1/2 sentinal wall, 1/2 auto wall, 1/4 slanting auto wall.

Okay ma... for first timer and miss lembik...freaking happy d k? As said my dad also very proud of me watching the whole time... he called me Spider Girl...hehe. After the session... my hands were so tired that I could barely open the water tap! LOL... and the next day.... my wrists (especially my right) was aching terrible... I couldn't move my right fingers much without causing pain to my wrist - but it's normal...hehe.

(OK - I KNOW SOME OF YOU PEOPLE ARE HANDY IN MUSCLES AND STRENGTH, BUT I AM FAR FROM EVER BEING AN ATHLETE OR EVEN A SPORTS PERSON, SO THIS LITTLE THINGS THAT I DO MAY SEEM NADA TO YOU BUT TO ME, ITS A BIG ACHIEVEMENT AND I AM FREAKING PROUD OF MYSELF!)

Note: For a Taster Session, better go with a friend... 1 hour may seem short but when you are tired, it seems longer (and you wanna make sure you make use of the full 1 hour - RM45). If I didnt' have Jecy with me... I would be worn out by 1/2 hour (the waste d). The advantage of having a partner is that the marshal can take turns with the both of you.. hence giving you time to rest.

My biggest regret was not taking any pics! Since my dad was there the whole time, he could have had all the time to do so...but I didnt' bring the camera (was rushing in the morning!). Nothing vain la... but it was first time thing and I did good, so of course I wanna remember it with pictures of me HIGH on the wall right?! ARGH!

So anyway... that Saturday was the best ever....I have never felt so GOOD in a long time - since I can remember! Must go more often. Am planning to take the Basic Wall Course and get certified as a individual climber as well as gaining membership there! Anyone wants to join me!?

*Happy*
Later in the evening, it was uncle Tony's before-wedding-day-family-gathering-for-dinner. Nothing much to blog about, it was all eat-family-more family- hyper kids .....
SUNDAY:
Uncle Tony's wedding day!
....Too lazy to blog bout details.... just a normal Chinese wedding... la...(go bride's place...pick her up, come back, tea ceremony, makan...etc)
At night pula was the wedding dinner lo... at Dynasty Ballroom.... Here are some simple pics...

My mum and dad...love em!


Aunty Carol and uncle Hang

Granpa, Kelvin (back from US) granny

Dad and gramps

Heman Hang! My darling little super-chubby cousin! Hehehe...
Random... on the way back...hehe
OKAY.... hm... you must be wondering where am I right? LOL. Actually there are a lot of pics of me (and Jenny too) but because of my SE level lately... I just couldn't bring myself to look at em pleasantly (let alone upload them). So there are only pics of me family and no me (despite my nice *ahem* dressing! - I wore the new "shawl"!

Random... before going to the night dinner on Sat (before the wedding). NOTE the pants.. thats the slender pants I just bought...cute?Heheheh...
Despite all the good stuff in the weekend, something bad happend.... Im currently on a cold war with a good friend (will not be named). Im sorry for saying some "stuff" (in which I totally regret), I have never said it to anybody before - and never thought I would. But for a moment there, you were just so in-sensitive and egotistical that it just pulled one of my big nerves. I didn't mean to be rude. I have already apologised before hand and if you are still ticked then I can't do anything about it... *Sighs*

Once I read a story about a butterfly in the subway, and today, I saw one. It got on at 42nd, and off at 59th, where, I assume it was going to Bloomingdales to buy a hat that will turn out to be a mistake - as almost all hats are. - Kathleen Kelly, You've Got Mail
P/S: I actually woke up at 3 something pm today! Slept at 8am today....hehe.. lastest I have ever slept (or earliest)!
