On belay! Climbin'! (^^)/

I've been missing the mountains.. And I've found a substitute to fill this empty space in my heart...

WALL CLIMBING!!!!

This is nothing new.. I know... But these days.. I mean recently, I'm just addicted to wall climbing...

I go to Sabah Indoor Climbing Centre (SICC) in Likas at least twice a week...
I could stay there for hours...
And when I got home, the routes that I failed to finish is just mind boggling...
My mind are still processing on how I could actually finish the routes...
The thoughts would hover for days.. That is until my next visit to SICC...
It's like an infection... A brain infection :P

I even bought two climbing books \(^^)/





This one is filled with lots of pics and basically talks about the essentials in rock climbing. Most suitable for beginners like me. And what I like the most about this one is that it's so easy to understand that I can share it with my young bros and cousins

This one is more of a motivational book with lots of inspiring words.. The things mentioned is, to me, even applicable in other daily activities. Mainly about attaining success and about having the correct, unshakable determination to finish up what we've started and intend to finish in excellence. One of the phrase in this book that caught my attention...

"In deviating from the flatlands of everyday existence, we take lif eto another dimension that bonds mind a nd body in a highly distinct way. Our senses and emotions are amplified as we experience the acute pains and pleasures, and heightened awareness unique to our crucible to the vertical world"

Well said indeed~ (^^)



And this is what you've to go to work with when you'd hours and hours of training for three consecutive days hehe

Hurm.. I'm not really sure of what I'm aiming for with all the hard work and trainings.. But they just gives me this feeling of content..

It would be really nice to become a world class climber~ But starting at 24.. That's quite late.. huhu




Nak hubby gini la... Supaya I can continue climbing hehe blonde, tall and handsome haha

Mountains... Don't worry... You're irreplacable.. I miss yous... T_T
O0o0 angin~ sampaikan rinduku pada gunung ganang~

BFF's wedding #1 MEKWA!!!

I've abandoned my dear blog for weeks now.. Well, I was actually away during the weekends that I don't have time to update it. I usually do so on Friday nights. But for the past few weeks, Friday nights was meant for ronggeng in Terengganu with Matmin and wife and also last week I was on the flight bound to Labuan to attend my dear cousin's wedding (^^)

So here goes the pics from the first wedding of Rx5 the girls.. Nur Salwa Abdul Halim, my dear ex-roommate for 4 years. I definitely was looking forward for her wedding and wont miss it for the world! I swam the south china sea if I have to!!!

Here's the signage to her house.. When I first saw this, there was this odd feeling in my heart.. It was sort of a mixture of happiness and at the same time a pinch of... hurm.. sorrow.. It's not that I'm not happy with the wedding and I'm not jealous (please la~).. But it was like this sorrow that appear when you have to let go of something precious.. yeah~ it was like that~

The Rx girls~ That's Matmin's wife, Along, clad in purple on the left. Miftah and Ciey, our dear Rx6 junior was also present. It took us some time to make everybody to look at the camera.. Mida and Shifaa and Mar were busy with their Samsung android phones haha

Can you spot any 'nur' from some faces who are going to get married so0n???




These are the Rx guys.. Rx5 and Rx6.. Hurm.. I've few pics of them :P

So here's Mekwa and hubby hehe Please focus at the linking hands ye..
Mekwa was gripping her hubby's hand so tightly that we were afraid his fingers would tecabot!

The newly wed and Rx5 girls who made it to Mekwa's wedding (^^)
I really wish there were more of us.. It could've been merrier if there were more.. But surprisingly.. Even in this small amount, we did manage to make quite a lot of noise :P

Not in the pics: Girls from Klate

Me & Mekwa~

Mekwa, now a wife..
All those years... When I used to...

Come into her compartment every morning just to take boiled water for my Milo...
Ruin her bedsheet yang tegang just to have a short conversation and then leave..
Just roll around when she woke me up for Subuh prayer...

Just seem like yesterday~

How life can change so fast~

Today was a fairy tale~

I've to admit that I was hurt so badly in the past that these days I tend to involuntarily roll my eyes or scowl and somewhat disgusted when I saw any love quotes. A little bit skeptical when watching love stories unless it is a story that relates family love and friendship rather than just about that "special someone" thingy... But what I saw today in the nephrology ward made me think

"I guess prince charming does exist~"

O0o0o0ps!

I was doing my clerking routine and it was a Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) infection case. A middle age man with a woman on a wheel chair arrived at the bedside and the man greeted me with a salam.. "Assalamualaikum.."

I was browsing the case note, but since we human have stereoscopic vision and have very powerful ears for eavesdropping, so I actually notice every single thing that the couple was doing hehe


When they arrived, the pakcik carried his wife onto the bed and he did this by reciting bismillah. At first I thought he carried her because she was too weak to stand up. But then from the case note, I realized that actually her right knee was amputated.



The makcik was a little bit grumpy and was complaining on this and that.. I guess she was all stressed out with her illness and the not so comfortable ward surrounding. But the pakcik remained calm and was smiling as he listen to her complaints. Then he started to comb her hair and again he started with bismillah..



The makcik was still complaining when he finished combing her hair. Then, he took out a container filled with bihun and handed it to his wife and said


"Nda apa... Kita makan dulu ya. Lepas ni kita bincang~" and he said this with a smile.. I seriously felt like crying!!! Where on earth can I find a guy like this!!!!!!!????



This occasion also remind me about another husband who was taking care of his physically impaired and mentally ill wife in HTAA when I was still a student. During our conversation I asked


"Pakcik tak kerje ke arini?"

"Pakcik kerje sendiri. Tapi sejak makcik sakit kadang2 je la baru kerje. Kene jage isteri.. Sebelum ni die da jage makan minum kite, jage kite mase sakit, bagi kite anak2, besarkan anak2.. Sekarang mase kite jage die pulak.."


I remember feeling this lump in my throat upon hearing this.. It was so touching. Naseb baek I could handle my emotional outburst from bursting hahaha


To think back about these husbands, I guess fairy tale does exist.. Happily ever after does happen.. \\(".) I definitely would want someone like the two husbands. Who'll stay by my side during rise and fall..

Yeah~ even harder than climbing the mountains and wall climbing.. Trust is something that I don't easily give away~
