Smashing items~ proud to have them ALL!!!

I can't recall when was it exactly that I have passion with the adventurous stuffs.. Suddenly my life is piled up with endless adventures..

From climbing mountains to rigourous raft rowing to many other muscle straining activities.. But one thing for sure.. This NEW hobby of mine is COSTLY and had gotten me broke~ Huhu An expensive hobby indeed... And also I have to SLIGHTLY abandon my fair skin huhu I was thinking

"I can have them back when I work.. Because I'll be in a closed building.. Away from the threat of UVs" hehe~


But you see.. I'm quite proud with all the stuffs I have.. It's almost complete hehe Well, while having lots of handbags and accesories like the other girls does, I have extras... Hehe

Well this is my 15 L deuter act lite.. Got it for free from kak Mastijah who was my mom's staff in Jabatan Belia dan Sukan.. This bag is very neat and I usually use it during short trips~ 2-3 days trip.. It's equipped with a rain cover too.. Lots of useful compartments.. When I first found this in my cupboard.. I hopped with joy because I know the price is quite costly hehe (",)v

This is my 60 L Polo Climber hiking bag~ Mommy bought it for me.. Not that expensive because there was an offer in Sogo that time.. It was 50% off.. From RM 300++ to RM 150 something :) used it twice.. Mount Senyum and Pahang International Raft Expedition 2008.. These days I just lend it to my friends or juniours who doesn't have a hiking bag.. Banyak berjasa beg ini :)

This is my beloved pouch.. I honestly don't like the colour that much but it has been useful.. Bought it in Bandung.. It's very convenient because you can wear them on your waist.. I can easily reach for titbits during hiking hehehe sometimes I put my handphone inside too.. Used it during Pahang River Raft Expedition, Kenyir Expedition, Irau Expedition~ Yeah I bring it along to most of my programs.. hehe

This is my newly-bought 45+10 L deuter SL~ Cost me a lot.. RM 415 Urgh!! but the colour is just compelling.. I like the combination of red and maroon.. To me it symbolize determination and energy chewah!!! hehe very neat too.. Lots of useful compartments just like my blue act lite.. Unfortunately, I'll have to buy the rain cover separately~ huhu tunggula nanti bila ada duit wuwu T_T

This is my eiger sling bag =) love it so much because you can actually extend the width.. There's a zip below it.. Lots of compartments.. I put my passport, my MP3, my titbits, the batterries for my camera.. seriously useful \(^^)/ It cost me around RM 23.. Bought it in Padang.. It could've cost me more than RM 50 in Malaysia.. My friends were like so excited during our visit to that eiger store... everything was cheaper CheAPER ChEApEr

This is my deuter camera pouch.. It has a strap at the back so you can strap it anywhere you like.. Sometimes I strap it dekat my pouch, sometimes dekat tali sling bag, sometimes dekat pinggang punya tali hahaha nda tau la tu apa.. It's such a convenience sebab it could be strapped to anything I want to strap it to.. Senang when it comes to "camera alert" time!!!!!!!!!!

These are my sleeping bag (the green one).. RM 17 kot.. Can't remember.. Bought it a long time ago.. And the black one is a rubber mat.. Cost me RM 25 because it's Eiger.. Very berjasa in providing me comfortable night sleep...

hurm smashing items they are!!!! Happy to have them \(^^)/

Hope to conquer more peaks with 'em \(^^)/

Told you I have more than just the GIRLIE STUFFS hehehe

Pulau MAnukan and Pulau Sapi Adventure

2nd May 2009~

I've been a Sabahan all my life but have never been to any of the islands that surround it.. To make it worse, I'm not even sure of their names.. So on that cloudy Saturday, Pijah and I woke up early and set out to the Jesselton jetty to meet up with my friends from UIA to explore Manukan Island and Sapi Island..

Boat's fare: RM 25

Snorkelling set: RM 15

We board a small boat to Manukan Island.. The wave was brutal that morning and the boat was melompat lompat. I was so afraid that I would puke when we arrive.. But the boat ride was joyful \(^^)/ WEEEEE!!!! Just like a ride on the saddle of a terrified horse or a fierce bull.

Since it was my first time ever to set my feet on an island.. The ones with corals~ I was mesmerized by the different colours of the sea water.. From dark blue to aqua marine and then turqoise.. So beautiful.. It reminds me of something Mady said during our kayak training.. About the different density of water, about the different heat of each of those colour... Interesting if I have some of such knowledge...

We straight away seek for a place to put our stuffs.. Finally we found a nice place under a shady coconut tree.. Straight away put on our BA and jumped into the water to snorkel hehe I was pretty excited.. I have no prior experience so I have difficulty breathing through my mouth when the mask blocked my nasal airway passage huhuhu

We searched and searched for the corals.. There were very few.. The guys told me corals are very sensitive.. Sensitive to heat, sensitive to pollution and etc.. Manukan is very crowded with people, so it's not surprising to not find any coral.. So we went further... As we go further I found the fish was bigger... I've never really appreciate the way the fish swim you see.. I saw that they wriggle their bodies to swim in the aquarium.. But in the deeper region of the sea, I saw them flap their fins like THE BIRDS!!! Soo0oo0O CUTE!!!!

We brought along some bread with us and fed the fish.. I got scared when the bigger fish came to swarm the area where the bread float just in front of us.. It looked like as if they were piranhas whose about to eat on my flesh!!!

After Manukan, we head for Sapi Island... I was already tired then so I changed and just rest.. I even slept for about an hour.. What woke me up?? There was a wild boar scavenging for food at a nearby trash can.. Well, only one got that close.. From where I rest, I can see another 3 in a distant.. Huhu how did these boars got on the island?? A mystery left unsolved since Kenyir~Wild boar seem to be EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a lot of FUN that day~ Thanks to Bubble, Apek and Yassin for inviting us along~
