More Time and Rest.

I really thought I could finish updating on the trip by tonight. 

Clearly, that's not gonna happen tonight.

I didn't expect that my body would need more time to recover.

Muscles, you need to relax. Going to the toilet still hurts a lot it's insane.

I shall continue with the updates tomorrow. Hopefully by then I can post it up already.

Goodnight everyone.

Winter Wonderland Here.

It's only Cameron Highlands but it's so cold that it feels like I'm in another winter country. 

So cold that I wear a winter jacket to sleep and it was still pretty cold in the tent. 


I can't wait to come home and blog about my experience! It's one that I will never forget for sure! 

Okay, I'm gonna go cook some breakfast now. More like wake Koay up so that he can cook for us some pancakes! Haha. 

Miss home as usual!

Happy Deepavali 2014.

So here I am trying to calm myself down and write type this.

Fuhhhh. This is difficult. I'm a bit too excited to finish work today. Then, we'll be on our way to the highlands. Maybe overly excited.

Before I begin,  let me just explain just why I'm feeling too excited.

It's my first time ever going for this kind of holiday. It's just too exciting. Real camping under the trees, in the jungle, sort of. It's crazy to know that we'll be sleeping in tents for the next three nights. Starting tonight :)

Okay, back to this.

So, like I said yesterday, it was a very productive day.

Knowing the fact that it was going to be a Public Holiday the next day, I went out with one of my favorite boy, Jer and other boys. We hung out at PSC till the sun almost came out. There was just so many things we talked about and it was undoubtedly one of the most fun night I've had since very long time. So, that was nice.

I slept at 5am and woke up at 9am. Four hours of not very pleasant sleep and no, I'm not complaining. Heh. We went to the cemetery and had brunch at Song River with the family. 



Koay and I left earlier and headed to a friend's place for a Deepavali visit. We ate again. Not so much this time. We stayed a while and it was time to leave again. 

We didn't even have any time to hold hands and breathe. Haha. 

Anyways, we drove back to town and went a massage session. I bought this on Groupon long time ago but we kept delaying them because neither one of us are usually free at the same time or they don't have the free slots that we do, so yeah.



Since we were going to hike up that mountain early morning tomorrow, might as well relax our body first. Haha. Our treatment was called 2 hours Full Body Aromatherapy + Hot Stone Therapy.

We were served hot glass of ginger tea and did our feet massage thingy first. We didn't know it was included in the package but why not since they giving to us anyways. Then, they told us they were going to 'wax' our feet. Dipped both our feet in melted wax. HOT MELTED WAX.



I find them really hot but for Koay, it was nahh.. Wuttt? His skin is like plastic or something. Hehe.

Can I just say that this is the best massage that we both have ever had? 

It was..

All the ones that we went previously was either too painful or too painful. This one was perfect. Also, all the one we went didn't have as much privacy as we would like it to be. We were both separated into two 'cubicles' separated by a cloth/curtain. We were asked to not wear anything other than the disposable underwear given. 

They only open the cloth/curtain after we were both lying down on the massage table, covered with more cloth. Very comfortable okay. There were like heating pad underneath our body. MOST COMFORTABLE THING EVER!

We had the most amazing time relaxing doing nothing but have our body massaged.



My favorite part has got to be when they use the hot stones on our back. At first, it was too hot for me but after that, I wanted more of those stones. Definitely my type of massage. More hot stones massage for us okay, Koay? :)

Believe it or not but we decided to go straight to Giant to get some of our groceries for the camping RIGHT AFTER the massage. Usually, people would go home and take a short nap or something.

We shopped a while, went home and rested and then out again for his dad's one-month-early birthday dinner at Eden, Hutton Lane. It was probably the quickest and simplest dinner because we were all pretty worn out. 



When I got home though, I watched two episodes of The Walking Dead before I call it a night. Haha. Love this TV series.

Ahhh. What a fun day it was. Public holiday not wasted for sure :)

Also, I probably won't be able to update till when I come back from Cameron Highlands. Maybe I will try to do some with my Goldii, but let's see how. 

I can literally hear Koay saying this to me now, "Go holiday no need to use phone so much lah.. except take photos nia.."

He's right. I won't.


Okay, bye you guys.

It's Thursday Tomorrow?

It has been the most productive off day today.

Again, I wished that it wasn't this back-to-back packed with events but would I want to have it differently?

No, I had fun.

Actually, today wasn't a tiring kind of day. It's just cause' I slept for four hours only. Piish.

Tired, definitely yes but oh so satisfying.

Gonna update more of today tomorrow :)

Stay tuned people, stay tuned! 

:)

Planning Ahead, Syiok.

So, there is already something brewing for next year's holiday plan in the month of FEBRUARY.

This better happen.

I'm excited already, though money haven't generate enough yet. Hah.

Anyways, HAPPY DEEPAVALI everyone.

Have a great off day tomorrow. You all deserved it :)

20 October 2014

More Off Days Please.

Off days are supposed to be doing fun things at own pace and timing, using less of brain power, have more sleeps and feeling very relaxed.

Off days include weekends, public holidays, medical leave and replacement holidays.

Unfortunately for me, it has been countless of weekends that does not at one bit feels like off days.

Fortunately for me, most of those weekends are surrounded with people I less than three and doing things that I enjoy.

This weekend though seemed to be the most tiring so far. 

So tiring that I woke up today wishing that it was Sunday. Not because I needed more sleep, but because I really need one off day.

Countdown to upcoming off days: seventy two hours.

Then again, am I really ready to conquer this Gunung ah?

Highest mountain in Cameron Highlands.
15th highest mountain in Malaysia.

No, I don't think so. Honestly it's going to be one of the craziest thing in my list, considering that I did not train prior to this. I'm nowhere near the requirements that my body supposed to have to climb 2110 metres high.

Gosh, the only 'training' I had was the youth park one that we went weeks ago and that also I did until number 3 only. In my defense, I had period that time and I was not feeling too well. Heh.

Ready or not, here we come, Irau.

You better get ready because by hook and by crook, I ain't backing down. 

Determination, check.

No photo of me being at the peak of this mountain, NO COMING HOME! :)

Wednesday-Thursday-Friday.

This place has been quiet for so many days?

I didn't even realize..

That's how F1-fast time passed through me..

Let's go through the days just because I don't know what to blog about today and I'm feeling a little bit under the weather to need to do something that requires a lot of brain power.

Then, I realized that trying to think through my happenings for the past few days requires probably same amount of brain power.

Oh well.

Wednesday
- Drove to office earlier than usual days and parked at the nearest spot I could find.
- Walked to the Dim Sum Restaurant opposite KDU College to get meself some ham+pork floss buns. I don't like pork floss (bak hu) but this is the only exception because it's super yummy.
- Walked back to the office and waited for Jayne.
- Carpooled with her to Kulim for a corporate roadshow.
- We relied on Waze 100% to get to Entegris.
- Set up the booth which includes wiping the rice + curry stained tables.
- During break time, I decided to get this blog a domain. Paid and thought I did everything rightly, but the domain ain't showing anything else other than Godaddy's page. 
- Decided to leave it for few hours cos maybe it needs hours before it's activated.
- Left Entegris in the evening and went to another corporate to collect cheque, also with Waze and only Waze.
- Got home, changed and rushed to Gurney Paragon Mall for momzay's birthday dinner.



- I had my cold soba again. 
- Checked the domain again and same thing.
- Sent an emergency whatsapp to Ben and gave him all my information. 
- Drove to Karpal Singh Drive and had coffee-relaxing-time at the Coffee Smith, which soon you will see how we review them.
- Ben whatsapp-ed back and said, "It works now". I can finally breathe again.
- Got home and lied flat. Oh, of course I showered first.

Thursday
- Finalize the US visa application online and check on certain things.
- Left office with the big boss to Prai for a corporate lunch with a secretary and the GM, Finance Director.
- It turns out to be a fun car ride with the boss. Not what i thought it would be - awkward.
- Had choo char at a local kopitiam, only people who works in Prai would know.
- My aircon decided to be on strike on the day my boss sits my car.
- She was drenched in sweat. I'm sorry!
- Rested in the office for 20 minutes then attended the sales meeting from 3pm to 7pm.
- Fetched Koay and head back to take a shower.
- I had Stuffed Fish for dinner which I regretted after the fourth bite.
- Back to his house for a friendly mahjong session with his family.

Friday.
- More US visa applications came in.
- Songs on Youtube is loading and surprisingly really quickly.
- With one earphone in my left ear, I'm singing it out, no shame whatsoever if my colleagues are listening. 
- It's Friday so that means the working mode is in blinking green light. Anytime, can turn red. 
- Lunch at the economy rice shop opposite First Avenue with my fellow Gunung Irau's climbers :)
- Drove to Prai with his car via ferry.
- First time there were 8 lanes heading to mainland. 
- Rained cats and dogs so I decided to come back via the bridge. Scared the sea gets too choppy or the ferry turns over and sink somehow. Hah.
- Trying to think very hard where I put the receipts for my car's visit to the mechanic. 
- Waiting so impatiently to go home. I JUST WANT TO GO HOME NOW.

THE END.
