Long break is over and another break is coming. It's holiday.

Yeah, it is now 2011. People always said, " the older you are, the wiser you gets. Hmm, still in a confusion of that. This time I've been to KL. Journey to KL was really amazing. We missed the bus then we need to wait for another bus. It was a hard decision on that previous day where we decided whether to go to Kuala Lumpur or not.
      Reach KL around 2315. Thought of using the LRT on that night but the station was closed. So we decided to took a cab from Bukit Jalil to KL Sentral. Taxi fare at that time is RM25.00. We were greeted by Andy's sister and her boyfriend. They brought us to eat at the mamak stall. We went back to a hotel called Hotel Lido. It was cheap though for a hotel in the middle of the city for only RM70.00. Glad to have a place to stay on that night.
     The first day has passed. Wake up in the morning with the bustling sound of the vehicles that passed by our hotel. It was around 0800. After get our self ready, we checked out from the hotel and proceed to KL Sentral to put our baggage in a locker for safe keeping. After that, we went to Mid Valley for our breakfast and went shopping there. I called Ben to followed me since Ben was in KL, studying at University Malaya. He's one of my best friend when I was going back to Kuching. We met at the monorail station and proceed to Mid Valley. The shops were not open. Fortunately, Giant stall gave us breakfast. Although it's kinda expensive for RM 2.90 per mee, but at least we're full. Andy order one whole roasted chicken and it was yummy.
      I asked Ben to go to Lowyat with me. There I bought my lens. EF 75-300mm USM III and Nissin Speedlite Di622 Mark II. My money getting less and less and I need to keep on tight budget. Hopefully, I can still survive till May.

Conquer Mt. Kinabalu

26th June - Kota Kinabalu, the land below the wind is a terrific place to go in Borneo island. With a spectacular blue beaches and islands scattered around the country, we are amazed. Our main reason to come here is not about blue beaches, but to conquer Mt. Kinabalu.

We took a plane from Kuching to Kota Kinabalu using Malaysian Airline. Weather in Kota Kinbalu was fine. We reached Kota Kinabalu airport around 1035. Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS)’ bus was ready to took us off to Kinabalu Park. Estimated time to reach Kinabalu Park was 2 hours. Although the 98 kilometres journey was not perfectly reached at the estimated time, but we have a safe journey. Safely aborded at 1400, we checked in to a hostel provided. We have our dinner at 1800. Dinner was nice. With freshly picked green brocolli, mouth watering lamb steak, big reddish prawn and lots more, our empty tummy was filled. After dinner, we went back to hostel and get ready for the next day.

As early as six in the morning, we wake up and have our breakfast. At eight, we started our journey to the starting point of the mountain. The journey was as far as six kilometers with six checkpoint. We reached Laban Rata, another lodges to stay before going to the peak of Mount Kinabalu around 1530. We have our breakfast at 1800. It was so tiring after the 7 hours journey to Laban Rata. I stayed with Menon, together with three big bro ( Aliff, Etong and Kamal). 

I have my dinner together with my friends at six. Then we go to bed at seven. The weather was cold and I hardly to breath. I can't really sleep at that time. My body feel so tired. Around 0100, I wake up.

I had my breakfast at that time. By 0230, we start our journey to Mt. Kinabalu. There were about 200 participants climb the mountain at that time, with every body took their steps to the peak. The journey took three kilometers from Laban Rata. 

I reached the peak at 0630. It was sunrise at that time. The chill air freeze my hand when I tried to take a shot of the beautiful scenery. I can't really stand the coldness. So, I went to the back of some rocks, waiting for my other friends to come.
After 30 minutes, all of us were there except Alrina. We took some pic with UTM banner.It was fun and enjoyable up there. Hope to go there next time.

Blue Christmas

Christmas this year not as good as before. There was no laugh and joy as I ever hear before.

    Usually, me and my family will go to St Joseph as early as 6 am. The choirs are great though. There will be a lot of people will be there, from different walk of life.

    But now things are a lttle more sad, till I didn't feel the celebration. It feel like nothing. Blue Chrstmas.

   Although there is carrolling and church activity that makes my weekend a bit busy, but deep in my heart, I still miss celebrating Chrismas with my family, relatives and my beloved friends.

96 hours 4 minutes an 30 seconds in Kampong

Well, it has been four days I was in kampong. My friends keep on asking me to go out with them. But, me too cannot go out to hang out. no $$ already.. Since my sweet left me since thursday, it has been a silent mode in me. Dahla balik kampong gik, so line celcom sik la brapa clear. Maybe starting from this last week of me, I try to hang out with my friends and take some pictures as a memory.
     When I was in kampong, there a lot of activities too. Not too bad also. We did some painting. My mom, 3 small brother, my sister and I had made the work done really well. I also do some gardening, although agak malas. Got so many experience. Barbeque pork and chicken too is the most tastiest meal ever. It has been a long time I didn't eat that. Surely I will miss it.

Try to guess Me

Now, I am in the city of bird..guess where I am now..LOL I will be back on a few days later to give some input to my blog. Thank you.

I feel wrong

      Yesterday was a terrible day for me. I did something really wrong. I have a hot tempered to my sister, and I make my girl dissapointed in me. Haiz. Maybe I should be dead by now.

Limited Connectivity

It has been quite long since I didn't update my blog. Still finding and testing my blog, since my blog is a test tube for me. The Streamyx line has not perform well these few days. The DSL light is not blinking, the internet  LED light is not light up. It has just like I am crazy without the internet. I wonder, how I would cope without it. 
    It was on the 4th November when there is no internet. I thought that it was only a short problem at the server. So, I wait. I wait .
    Then, the next day, that is yesterday, I can't stand it anymore. Still no light at the wireless modem. I called "100",  TM service centre hotline. The first call, they ask me to direct connect the wire to the modem and to the laptop. I tried. And it still didn't worked. Next, I called the hotline again. Then, another method came. the asked me to open the " Command Prompt" and ask me to write some code. The code did work, I remember the C programming class that we have in UTM before..LOLZ. The operator ask me to shut down my laptop. 
    
           " If the problem still persist, please called us again".


     It was the third time I called them again, since the internet is still malfunction. What I hate is that, they keep asking me to hold on. What the heck they ask me to wait. Dahlah every call mean every cent that we need to pay. Suka hati jak suruh orang hold the call. It was quite troublesome. Alas, the operator do a report about the matter. He said that wait TWO or THREE working days for the internet to be restore properly. 
    Finally the internet is functioning again now. The service done by the technician is quite fast. They go to our housing and to the checking. Thanks a lot. But, the hotline is still need to be more improved. They can't always asked the customers to wait and hold the call. It will put a black stain on the service. Anyway, thats all I want to say. Thank You.

what a great day

               It is nice to be back again in Kuching. Well, eating, sleeping..all the routine stuff that I miss it always. University life have been quite demanding. Sometime we feel stressful too. Calling our parents, special ones...hey I miss it!

               But, when you arrive at your hometown, you forgot what are the things that you want to do. Isn't that right? Hm,during this holiday, I will gonna make as useful as possible. Not going to loitering or what Maybe doing some job and earn a little bit of money. Because money didn't come that easy. I am still waiting for my scholarship application. Hope that they will approve it.

               Oh ya, forgot to mention, this holiday I will meet all my friends and doing some craziest stuff together. Of course the good things and maye bad things..LOL. That's all I think that I want to say.

Arious Amigas and Amigos too! 

     

Wow Wednesday!

This is the story of me. Today. Wednesday.

Wednesday, 0500

I wake up early today. Never in this university I wake up this early. You guess why? We have our study week and I plan yesterday to wake up early. This can help me to absorb the thing that I very hard to go to my brain.. hmm..

Still doing the mesh and nodal analysis. As usual.

0630

After I have a drink of warm plain water just now, I feel that I need to go to the washroom. Oh ya, I still remember something. In the past, my parent ask me to drink a glass of warm water before I am going to run on the sport day. In idea is was the warm plain water help  to make me easily to do "business" in the toilet. After a good sweet  time in the  toilet, I accidentally turn to my left. The door to the balcony is open. It is a nice view from the 7th floor. Sunrise! Sunrise! Sunrise with white morning mist.

0900

I go to the library. Still blur and don't know what to study.

1000

Still wander around..hmm..what has happen to me? I walked around the library's book shelf and I saw one book that label with "TF". It is a nice photography book and I think that the book is really amazing. It is called the photo press World Press Photo 2001. It is a compilation of the winner of the press photography. the pictures really capture my heart. Some of the pictures are very touching, some is really gross. But overall, it is a very very nice book. Click to this link to see more.

Unexpectable

Wow, I can't imagine I will go to KL this weekend. Hope to see my friends there.
