to or not to..?

to terminate my blog or not?

currently, my company just moved to a new place.. and i had some difficulty accessing blogger. proxy? firewall? whatever.. its not as easy as it used to be. so, it harder for me to blog now.

even now my current sitting place is not as.. erm.. secured, private as it used to be. so.. chances that i might stop blogging is higher..

i'll give it to end of this year and we'll see how it goes.

[ sigh.. need my 2nd cuppa already.. and there's not hot water dispenser here..!!!! ]

hugz

hugging is healthy.
it helps the immune system, cures depression, reduces stress and induces sleeps.
it's invigorating, rejuvenating and has no unpleasant side effects.
hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug.
hugging is all natural.
it is organic, naturally sweet, no artificial ingredients, non polluting, environmentally friendly & 100% wholesome.
hugging is the ideal gift.
great for any occassion, fun to give and receive, shows you care, comes with it's own wrapping and, of cuz, fully returnable.
hugging is practically prefect.
no batteries to wear out, inflation-proof, non-fattening, no monthly payment, theft-proof and non-taxable.
hugging is an underutilized resource with magical powers.
when we open our heart and arms, we encourage others to d othe same.

huggiez to y'all

blur off days - kk pt 3

toured and visited

with muscle cramp all over me.. *sigh*

seriously, if anyone is planning to climb the mountain, i guess the best exercise anyone can do would be taking the stairs. and i mean ALOT of stairs. the whole journey up and down the mountain was like stairs everywhere! i underestimated myself thinking that coming down the mountain was easier than going up. well, technically it is but with the muscle cramp you had earlier, coming down is worst! but faster la..

anyway, we went around KK visiting a few places - philipino market, sutera harbour, jesselton harbour, waterfront. its really interesting to go to places and really be a tourist. we were walking around talking in hokkien and really acting like a 'jakun' fella.. haha..

i must admit, east malaysia is a very beautiful place. i was in kuching just a couple days before flying to kk and it really beautiful.

kuching - the place is clean, big and i love their bilin [ a kind of wild fern veg ]. their seafood is lovely and my client gave me 2 fresh water fish to bring back to kl..! first, i was shocked with their present. second, i dont cook! oh well, its the thought and my cell cooked it well. kuching or rather sarawak is known for the pepper industry. so, when i visited one of the souveneir shops.. they were selling alot of pepper stuff - pepper sweets, pepper jelly sweets, dark pepper chocolates, white pepper chocolates, chilli pepper sauce.. i was so tempted to buy the chocolates to let other ppl try but.. its okie. shall try not to be so adventures.

aside from that, i manage to look around at the houses in kuching.. fuh~! crazy madness.. its.. huge..! and i really mean huge..! oh.. beautiful too of cuz.

i didnt manage to visit much in kuching but i would love to go there and visit again. love to see the houses and the also taman sahabat [ frienship park ] .. its beautiful. any available tour guides?

kk - its more laid back and relaxed altho there are some jam during peak time. but what is jam if compared to kl crazy jam that can last for 3 hours! i love the fact that its near the ocean.. the harbour.. probably because i love beaches in general [ my next stop would be terengganu or kelantan beaches ]. i love their lemon drink, 'kit chai peng' [ lime with sour plum ]. cant get it here in kl unless i make it myself.. hmm.. going around with my friends were really the best. the wooden handy craft is beautiful and pearls! they've got fresh water pearls and ocean pearls and donno what other pearls sold in the philipino market! hahaha..

a few things about east malaysia that i can roughly conclude..

1. the land of the four wheel drives - my little kelisa is like a little ant there!
2. awesome seafood and really fresh - we can pick the fish that we want to eat!
3. the land of huge houses - too much land and really very nice.. *sigh* when can i get one..?
4. really fresh air - compared to kl la.. but with the current haze.. err...

i told ivan about my trip to east malaysia and i really enjoyed myself.. he said.. i should find an east malaysian husband.. (-.-")

i would really want to go to east malaysia again.. maybe to labuan? diving..? hmm.. anyone interested? ;o)

blur off days - kk pt 2

climbed and conquered..!

hah..!

after months of planning and no training at all.. i have climbed the highest mountain in south east asia. it was madness to climb it. walking and walking and walking and losing my breathe and gasphing every step.. only to realised i've walked for 500m.. and i had 6000m to reach the rest place. and another 2500m to the peak. sigh..

started off walking with some friends then it was with one friend.. the it was alone. well, occasionally i met some foreigners along the way and ben the squirrel. but it was good. the view and scenery was awesome.. literally breathe-taking, too..!

then it was the journey to the peak. i partnered with angela [ she's a great travel buddy ] and it was amusing how we encourage each other to go to the peak..

10 more steps.. 10 more steps..
breathing stop.. *pant pant* 0.o
gotta reach the top.. dowan to come back again for it..
it madness...
10 more steps.. 10 more steps..
jappos coming to overtake.. quick.. run..
dont let them overtake..! [ kiasu ]
breathing stop... deeeeeeeeeep breathe..
10 more steps.. 10 more steps.. hug..!!

and we did it..! muahahaha.. [ i couldnt take any pictures up the peak cuz my camera froze up there. now i feel like getting another camera.. *scouting* ]

the scenery was awesome.. mixture of rocks and clouds.. it was just awesome. reached to the peak took some photos and started our journey back to the camp area. as i was walking down, i was amazed at the journey down and i couldnt believe that i actually walked all the way up [ at 230am ]. the way was steep and long.. like really long. i dragged myself to go down.

that was the time that i wanted to scream my way down. i just wanted to scream and stay where i was and sulk [ for some reason ]. i just wanted to roll myself down.. the journey down was actually harder than going up.. anyway, dragged my way down with some help of the guide person.. he was afraid that i was going to fall anytime [ i slipped once, haha ]. he helped me walked on the easier path and *voila* i reached on easier steps down.

yet i didnt quite understand why i was so grumpy on the way down. probably cuz i'm just tired and lazy.. maybe i'm just fed up [ for no specific reason ], maybe the journey down was too tough, or maybe there's no goal to reach for already.

is this the same in life? when you have just reached the top to what you think you have achieved and when you're at the top and nothing's moving but just downwards.. how to handle that? when you think you have gotten what you wanted but you just got to let it go.. in order to move on.. how to handle that?

well, i guess it could be seen as another way. we all may have worked really hard to reach the top or to achieve it. and with all the craziness and madness trying to achieve it, there is a sense of fulfillment once we've reached it. there's the enjoyment, the excitement.

when actually.. what awaits is.. rest. to rest in His presence and relax. :)

hahaa.. yes.. thats what i learned from the climb up and down. it was seriously crazy coming down and i actually ended up having more muscle pain when coming down from the climb. i couldnt walk or stand straight.. it was as though a crab trying to walk straight with muscle pain..!

kinda think.. maybe the mountain conquered me back. O.o
