the trip

this is our road trip resorted due to the ultra boring itinerary.. we had island hoping in the morning and after lunch we were free to do whatever we want.. the older folks told us that they plan to SLEEP!! can you believe it?? so... me and my fellow colleagues.... rented a van and two cars and travelled on our own instead....i mean.... how can yound people like us.. stay put in the hotel for long right.... we need excitement.... adventures... we went to the underwater world and the duty free shop to get out chocolate supplies. We had wanted to go to some other places.... but unfortunately.. we had to cut our road trip short and joined the rest for our dinner......we could have visited another place if we had not gotten lost.. when we were searching for the underwater world...

this is the bat cave. My face looked funny because... i was barefoot and i was stepping on heaps and mounts of bat POO!!! we had to remove our shoes due to the high tide and the place was literally flooded.....but it was worth it...

group picture at the oriental village, langkawi

group picture again...... after the cable car ride.. can you spot me??

this was after our one hell of a extremely fun and wacky and wild and CRAZYYYYYY speed boat ride in the sea and mangrove swamp.... we stopped at this floating fish restaurant to get our dinner....

a guy feeding a sting ray....... super cool.... he asked me to feed it too... but.... i politely declined the offer.... after witnessing the vicious attacks of the sting ray at the man's hand.... no thanks man....

this is a view of the mangrove swamp...

this picture was taken when the speed boat was not moving crazily fast......

me and my colleagues on the suspension bridge... i was kinda dissapointed that the bridge wasnt made to shake violently when we walked on it.... DAMN!!! it would have been so much FUN!!!!!! (if it did!! ahhah)

this is a super great view from our cable car...

this is me holding some creepy pre-historic sea creature....

group picture yet again....

that's all for now......

alive and kicking

i'm going to keep this short.... i'll be back later with more stuff...Anyway, my langkawi trip was ok.... it was kinda fun but i was kinda disappointed as well........ but i spent nearly 200 bucks on chocolates alone.....

I have lost my precious ring.... remember the ring that I had told you guys about... the ring which I had obtained by using the money i've inherited from my late paternal grandmother....yea.... that ring, the ring which was and still is so,so important to me...... I'm so darn sad right now.... the ring is precious.... it's irreplaceable.........I lost the ring in langkawi by the way... sob...

by the way, we are finally getting a brand new air conditioner in my department...... we managed to persuade our swiss boss when he was in a good mood...... so goodbye headaches, goodbye stuffiness, goodbye sweats,....and hello....... cool air! Hello comfortness…..

I went for a graduation dinner with my bunch of friends. We had steamboat.. well more of BBQ really…. Hahaha. Anyway, the dinner was great.. later we head on for yam cha… at chelas……I was so caught up with the discussion that I had completely forgotten about the time… I reached home at about 1.15 a.m.…. I was lectured by my mum but this time around I wasn’t grounded… I guess… it was because she’s in the pre- convocation mood too… thank goodness…!

I’m finally getting my long awaited tennis lessons. I’ve always wanted to learn how to play and master the beautiful game of tennis since I was in secondary school, but I never had the time to do so….however,on next Saturday, it will be my very first tennis lesson… Man I cant wait.!

On the 01.08.2006, I’ll be participating in my company’s annual badminton tournament. A year has surely passed so freaking fast. Last year’s tournament is still eminent in my mind. I sure hope to finish at least in third place. That’s why, I’ve started to train seriously for the tournament, since last week. Which consists of about 1.30hrs of badminton 4 times a week, and a swimming session once a week,,, am I overboard… or what .. you can call me fanatic, you can call me mad….. you might think that I’ve actually lose it…. But hey… I totally love sports….. especially badminton and swimming,,,

This Sunday, I’ll be heading to Kl with my family for a shopping spree as the mega sale is about to commence. I’ll be buying my family a dinner as it’s the first time I’m buying dinner ever since I’ve started working.

See ya
