Souvenirs from Perth

I received some souvenirs from a friend of mine, Seanie who went to Perth, Australia last semester break. He told me, he went there to visit his friends. OMG!! Just to pay a visit? Damn rich o..this guy. In addition, he said he will continue his master study in Perth too. -.-

Erm..talk about this guy, first time met him in Marketing course and joined my group for the assignment. Super talkative. Talk non-stop. Bad impression toward him. After a few month communication between us, I started to change my view on him. Although he was talkative but he always give a helping hands to me and my friends. He always told us the lame jokes lo...:P (hope he does not read this post...haha)

Here goes my souvenirs from Perth:

Miniatures Chocolates (Milk, Peanut, Dark & Rice Flavours)

Seannie said this chocolates only sold in Perth/ Australia. The chocolates there were super cheaper compare to Labuan/ Langkawi. Izzit true? He went there with 1 bag and came back to Malaysia with 3 bags...all content with foods. Really that nice and cheap? Anyone know?

Anyway, thanks Seannie!!Nice to meet you and wishes All the Best to You!!!

Outing with my bestie

Clock struck at 10am...hurray!!lecture ended. Suddenly my course representative asked everyone to stay back a while for seminar preparation things. Oh no!!Wasting my time here again. Then, went to SPE to find lecturer to get my course syllabus and assignment title with Winnie and Sook Cheng. Lecturer not in...Grrr...waited there for almost 1 hour.

Headed to 1Borneo with Winnie after that. Went to eat KFC as our lunch.

Winnie!!You should eat more...we must gain weight together!!

Me having Snack Plate KFC for my lunch..

I know KFC might be quite fatty for you guys out there but we are in rush (erm...rush for what? *secret*I can tell you if you ask) so just have fast food.

So, its time for us rounded the whole 1Borneo searching for gift, CNY clothes, sandals, and etc...BTW, we didn't forget to snap photos with the nice CNY decors in 1Borneo.

While shopping, Winnie found something that caught my attention. Hehe...

Ta da~

That's the end for today.....

Morning Walk in Tun Fuad Stephens Park

Yesterday early morning woke up around 430am to get myself ready to Tun Fuad Stephens Park or known as Bukit Padang in Kota Kinabalu. If you guys want to know more about this place, find in Google yourself ya…much info there. Sabahking came to my house and pick me up around 530am. It took us around 30 minutes to reach the park. The weather was so cold and it freshen my mind all the way I walked in the park there. I thought I was the earliest person to reach there but there are many joggers and hikers have arrived there. They either went there with family or friends. It should be an excellent place for family gathering for once a week. Its took me around 30 minutes to reach the top of the hill. Hehe!!! Around 2 km only. So wanna know how the place look like...check out my photos below:-

Camwhoring before start climbing up.

All Things Are Possible

Recently I feel unhappy due to certain things:
1^st: My internship application
2^nd: Thesis
3^rd: Lab work
4^th: Etc…

Really feel suffocated with those things. Suddenly feel I lost somewhere else and nobody could help me. I also feel want to give up everything. Annoying!!!! Can someone cheers me up?

A friend of mine for forwarded an email to me and asking me not to give up and stand strong to achieve my goals. As she knows I always fight to the end. Ha-ha!!(I think she look too high on me. Actually I'm not that strong.) Anyway, thanks a lot to you gal!!

So the email goes like this:-

When someone tells you that you can't do something…


Look around…

Consider all options…

Then GO for it…

Use all the things God gave you…

Be creative!!

In the end you will succeed and prove them wrong!

Always remember NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE, if your heart is willing.

So, guys!! Let's don't give up in doing something.

Mountain Kinabalu (03-04/01/2009)

After a few days rest, I'm gonna to post up my expedition to Mount Kinabalu. Can't blame me..my whole body especially my hands and legs are so pain. SO I need more rest plus I got class. Tired!!

There are around 20 of us joined this expedition. I was so excited as I had plan to go there before I graduate. Finally, my dream comes true. As the journey start at 4am, so I need to woke up at 3am to get myself ready. Hmm..feel so fresh at that time cause go to enjoy ma...not class. (If class, I will feel very sleepy). Around 350am, walked to the nearby bus stop with Sabahking, my roomate and his boyfriend. Waited around 10 minutes, our van arrived and pick us.

Waiting for van.

We took almost two hours to reach Mesilau Nature Resort from Kota Kinabalu.

Cafe at Mesilau Nature Resort.

We waited at there for our pack lunch to get ready. The pack lunch (bread+cheese, hot dogs, egg, chicken wings, orange, 100plus and mineral water). Sound delicious o? But when took it while climbed up the hill really took my life. So heavy. So, when reached shelter, we ate some and reached again another shelter, we ate again. Haha...not only can gain energy but can lighten my burden. The first day, we need to reached half the hill (Laban Rata) before continue to conquer Mount Kinabalu peak the next day.

June June get ready to climb Mount Kinabalu.

The raining weather really make me uncomfortable. Shoes, sock and clothes got wet. Hard to walked and spoilt my mood.

See...so many stairs. Tired!! Started to feel the punishment on my body.

Finally around 8 hours, I manage to reach Laban Rata. Feel so cold and hungry at that time, so took dinner buffet at Laban Rata there. After that, we proceed to Gunting Lagadan Hut to take rest. From the photo below, red circle shows Laban Rata where I took my dinner there. So, can you all imagine how far the place to the hut?

I need to go through all this before reaching the peak. Can I?

Gunting Lagadan Hut.

Finally I reached. Look back..how far I walked.

Rest awhile and I planned to take shower as my whole body got wet. The hut there got shower heater (don't feel happy first)...when I out of the hot water..OMG!! So cold..just like being lock in the fridge. No difference wheather got heater or not. Simple took shower and ran to the bed cover up myself quickly.

Next morning woke up around 1am for 2am journey to the peak. The whole can't sleep well as I'm not feeling well. But, this does not blocked me from conquering Mount Kinabalu. The weather was so cold on the half way to the peak. As I'm not feeling well that time and started to walked very slow. Luckily, Sabahking accompany me for the whole journey. Thanks Sabahking. You didn't stop encouraging me during the climbing.

Unfortunately, we couldn't make up to the peak of Mount Kinabalu. Left 300m due to raining weather. Its hard for everyone to climb up with such weather. My hands became frozen until I couldn't snap much photos. Feel so sick and almost fainted there.

Below photos taken before leaving:-

Gotta stop for now. Will update more photos in the next post. Bye!!
