I hope he reads this~

Girls.. Yes, girls only... I think almost all of us have guy friends who we confide things to.. Maybe not to reveal as much as when we confide to a girlfriend.. But.. Yeah.. We have guy friends whom we share stories with. For my part, if I confide anything to a guy, I just wanted to listen to an opinion that's most probably would be from a different perspective than that of girls'. So yeah.. I've good friends... But I'm currently quite upset with one...


Well, recently, he's just weird.. One day he called me by a name that he shouldn't have. And I'd replied

"Kau ni buang tebiat ka apa?"

Maybe he thought I was okay with his joke. But actually I was not. I'm not being prejudice with him. It's just that I don't think it's appropriate fo him to call me that way. Our friendship is based on a firm foundation built with trust after years of acquaintance. I guess it's okay if he wants to flirt with any other girl but please.. Not me...

I'm not that kind of girl.. I'm not flattered with such callings or sweet talks.. I get upset with those things.. Especially when it's from someone I think I know well, I'm constantly in contact with, someone I trust and someone I care...


To some extend, I also feel betrayed.. Because I think he knew I'm not that kind of girl who he could call with names. I so often told him that I feel like punching flirtatious guys, I hate guys who befriended me and purposely want to get close with me because they feel like they have a chance to be more than friends just because I'm single. He knows I hate the kind of guy who text with every girl in the world.. He knows... He knows me very well... I just have no idea why he did that...


I really want him to know that I'm upset with what he did.. I don't expect him to apologize, I just don' want him to do that again.. I don't know how to let him know how I feel about it.. That's why I hope he reads this...

18-19 June: Berhala Island Climbing Trip

One year of employment; my nerves were approaching the breaking point. The environment and staffs are okay; it's just that I've been having some unpleasant experiences with patients. Got scolded for things that were not my fault and that is not COOL..


So when the guys in SICC announced the date for Berhala trip, I signed up right away. Never had second thought. I knew that this is the getaway that I've been waiting for. Yeah.. I'd holidays with my family but it was always me who drive and I usually get sore when we arrived somewhere so actually my body is silently craving for a pure relaxation holiday...

We took a flight on Saturday morning and then checked in at this very neat backpackers lodge. I shared my dorm with a very nice Scottish woman whom I chatted with the whole Saturday night. Had my Ipod and a book with me. So before the climb, I spent some time listening to music while reading my book. Occasionally looking out through the window.. It was a bliss... A BLISS (^^)


Though from the pictures it's like some tiring trip but actually it was not. The route are tough, yes, but then I'd enough rest and enjoyed my time with nature very much. Brings back memories with ARC..


So now.. I know I uploaded hundreds of photos in FB but I actually intend to elaborate them in here (^^)/ YOSH!!!!

This was my first climb, the chimney. This was where the guys in SICC was inspired to design the chimney in SICC. The feeling.. hurm.. it's suppose to be an easy but was not so easy for me.. A lot of thinking all the way up and really have to trust your legs and the friction of your footing to get going...

2nd climb: Eat Blues Lama.. A 10m climb.. A slab all the way.. But the hand holds are dreadful and the foot holds are just fine lines... But I love this route because you get to do a lot of moves that you've been training in the gym.





7a route: my project of the day.. An unfinished project to be exact. It took me around 5 minutes to figure out the starting.. Hand jams, undercling, arete... This route have it all. I just can't believe I manage to get pass more than half of it. Got stuck around 3m below the ending because there's just NO hand holds!!!!!! except for this very fine crack that could fit less than an inch of my index finger and the only foot hold is at the arete that won't provide you with good balance to pull youself up... But I'm just proud to have passed more than half of it hehe (^^)v


2nd day, we climbed in Turtle Beach. I climbed 3 routes. Easy, intermediate and super coooool!!!!!!!!! haha The tide was high so it was hard to snap the photos of the routes from good angles..





Putting on my climbing shoes.. Actually I was quite nervous.. hehe Nda mau kasi lepas batu langsung though I was actually already have this safety line atached to me







So these are the routes. The rock is actually sand stone so it tends to crumble. Had some falling rock incidents during the climb. I stepped on porous rocks during my last climb and they fell. Luckily they didn't fell on any of the guys. I should've said "Fall" to warn the guys. But I panicked and said "JATOOOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This is the Super COOOOL route... 30m... The white dot over there is actually Vince at the ending hehe

This is a mono on the super cool route. Manage to snap a shot haha I did this very quickly of course. This was the only hand hold to pull myself up and my foot was actually inside an uncomfortable pocket that only fit the tip of my right shoe... No foot hold on the left.. Can you imagine how hard it was to pull!!!!!!!!

And here are some videos that I recorded during the second day.

The first video is actually taken after my first climb. I was actually standing on the rock with my harness attached to this rope which is tied to a bolt embeded into the rock (Adeh... Hard to explain) It's just so cool because below me was all water since the tide was high. I was just sooooo excited because I don't get to do this everyday as a Pharmacist :p hehe Berangan jadi Jimmy Chin in this video :P




This video was actually taken at the top. Not sure of the height. The booklet that I was provided with says it's 30m. I stopped about 2m below the actual endpoint because there was a bee hive there so probably this was around 28m. My hardest climb so far. The first part was a slab (angled at less than 90) but the surface wasn't that friendly. Very few hand holds and foot holds. I was standing on a surfce that was as thick as a coin and that really hurts you know... The hand holds.. All the time were crimps.. LuckilyI did some practice on locking crimps in the gym. Some overhang part right in the middle and got stuck there for a few minute. The most defying would be the last part. Exactly 90 degress with crimps hand holds again. I decided to speak English in the video for the sake of this blog haha I was soooo excited so I just ramble there and still gasping for air haha





And this is just an embarassing video of my first jumaring. I saw the guys doing it for so many times already but never had the chance to do it. I posted this anyway because this is something I don't get to do everyday too hehe I had some difficulty at first but when Vince stopped the recording, that was when I figured out how to do it.. Ces!!!!

See, I succeed!!! Hehe

Know what, at the end of the trip I think I'm just crazy to have done all that haha

So that's it.. The World Is Amazing!!!!

Me and Me Blog...

Was scheming through the list of links on my blog when I saw my archive actually dated from 2008. Which means, I've been blogging for almost four years now!!!! WOW!!! Can't believe I'm that persistent hehe

I don't really know where I stand as a blogger.. I don't have a chatbox and a visitor counter thus I don't have any idea of how often people actually access this blog. But I do have surprising experiences as a blogger. That's when total strangers said they knew me from my blog.

One was a friend of a friend. Me and my friend M joined our friend J with his friends for dinner (ok that's kind of confusing). So basically there were two guys that M and I never met before. So the more talkative guy started the conversation by asking M her name and what course she is studying. Then after M briefly introduced herself, the guy went silent.

So I was like "Why are you not asking me?" (X malu betol pi tanya begitu :p)

"O, kenal dah. Ade blog kan? Exceladorable"

I spontaneously blurt out, "O my God M, this means he knows half of my life already!!!" haha I was so freaked out. I never expect to meet someone who I didn't know who actually come across my blog. He might not be a follower, but he knew my blog!!! Malu pon ada masa tu hahaha


The second occasion was at a bus stop in Gombak. That time I haven't even put this blog in IIUM blogger thingy. I was waiting for the bus with a few other girls. Suddenly the one who sat beside me said, "Hey! I know you!! You have a blog right?? Exceladorable right??"

I seriously don't know what expression I wore on my face that time. I think my jaw-dropped. I only responded with "Yeah.. Yeah.. That's my blog.. Hehe" then the girl asked what I was doing in Gombak and stuff. Just normal conversation la.. Tiada pulak pi minta autograf haha If like that, I sure pengsan punya hahaha

But honestly, I enjoy writing as much I enjoy reading and that what keeps me writing eventhough I don't know whether it is read or not. I blog just simply because I love to write. I really really love to write and I love English too! hehe
