The Berkelah Waterfall trip \(^^)/

Tonight is officially the 'malam bermalas malas' for me... So I'm going to update this blog about our spontaneous post-exam adventure at Berkelah Waterfall...




How do I start this..? Okay~ Well, this is rather embarassing~ Actually we've planned a trip to the Gambang Waterpark even before the exam starts.. It was unanimous that everybody will go and have fun there right after MCQ... My roommates and I woke up as early as 6.30 am to prepare sandwich that morning...



Before the MCQ paper starts, my mind was actually doing maths...

Calculating how much time do I have for each question...

What time should I go out from the hall so I can go back along with the rest..

I took one extra paper for midterm so the duration of my paper was 1 hour but I manage to go out 15 minutes earlier along with those not taking any elective paper..



Well.. Di pendek kan cerita... Our anxious and excited souls were hoodwinked. The pak guard told our friend
"Gambang waterpark kat depan.. Tapi hari ni tutup~"


A gush of indomitable agony rush through my vein when I heard the news.. The whole car was in the state of shock and despair that everybody went silent.. And suddenly Mida came up with the idea to go to Berkelah and luckily everyone agreed!!!! So here are the pics from our first Rx 5: the girls Adventurous Trip!!!!!!

This is the picture before our departure from UIA.. Owh~ These innocent girls~ Happy imagining that they would be sliding carefreely at the waterpark~

They ended up in Berkelah Waterfall instead.. I guess Mida, Anea, Shifaa and I were the happiest because we were actually longing for such adventure.. Finally 'back' to nature~

Happy nye swimming!! We're actually trying hard to look like perenang berirama here haha

These are the Rx 5 girls yang best to da max itu~ hehe

This is the pic before we leave~ Selipar ku putos lalu berkaki ayam lah diriku di dalam hutan belantara itu~

Sempat bergambar di batu batu comel....



Well actually we did reach the top where there's this huge waterfall with this pool that has aqua marine water.. but no pics were taken there.. :)

Anyways, although there were shattered hopes at the beginning of the trip but finally it turn out just fine.. FUN as always..

Living through darker days to.....

Lately I've been keeping pace with the happenings of the nation and also the world.. I've been quite ignorant since 3rd year.. One is because I'm too busy (konon2).. And then the news just seem to be stuffed with political issues which I refuse to fathom.. I'm not fond of real-life drama, you see so I better off avoiding knowing~ And this new habit or is it a 'returned' habit is all because of my up coming job interview heee (^^)v



Yup.. I guess I've been ignorant~ One of the window on my screen right now is displaying pictures of Haitian earthquake survivors... Well, I knew about the earthquake of course but just that I haven't been following it.. A few days ago I read that they turned violent while waiting for food to be distributed.. They must have been too hungry to become like that~

I was reading the story with my room window wide open and gentle breeze came sweeping over my skin.. There even the sound of singing birds and also the annoying snarls of fighting cats.. Everything was in order.. Must be far from the condition that they are in at the other side of the world.. And this makes me think..


Do we even realize these blessings and do we even enjoy such splendor of tranquility and peacefulness..?

Or are we too preoccupied with life small hurdles that we shut our eyes from seeing the bigger part of His bounties which is life itself~?


My mind will start to swirl when seeing the catastrophe of the world.. How lucky we are here~ Me.. for 23 years.. the worst disaster that I've been in is only the typhoon Greg that hit Sabah in 1996.. My hometown was not damaged.. Just lots and lots of falling trees...


My imagination runs wild and I am about to take you 'there'...


Imagine~ If one normal peaceful day, suddenly mother nature rages upon this country~ Storm.. Earthquake.. Drought.. whatever it is~ (Avelanche?? em nda ada salji di Malaysia) All that's left are rubbles of destroyed buildings... Plants taken off from their roots... The worst scene would be countless lifeless human bodies scattered all over the ground.. Yup, having to bear what the eyes have to see is only the first part of it..



Then comes the hunger.. This is when all the money in our saving lose its value.. This is when the status are no longer our concern.. Everybody have to bear the same ordeal.. This is when ego have to be put to its lowest level for mutual survival.. At this point, we won't care eating bread crumps on the ground that might've been stepped on by a diseased feet~ or maybe might've been eaten by some animals~



Then comes the plague due to poor hygiene.. Then comes the struggle to reconstruct life... And many more...


Nauzubillah~ Scary~


But it's really human nature to be blinded by convenience.. To have to lived through darker days first to notice the blessings although they are clearly visible all around us.. And this includes me myself.. The things that really matters are often shrouded by less important things~


I don't want to comment on what we should do but here is an interesting quote that I found somewhere in the internet for us to ponder~

If you’re not doing something with your life, then it doesn’t matter how long you live. If you're doing something with your life, then it doesn't matter how short your life may be. A life is not measured by years lived, but by its usefulness. If you are giving, loving, serving, helping, encouraging, and adding value to others, then you're living a life that counts! -John C. Maxwell-



For a start~ I'll order 'nasi separuh' from now on to avoid from wastage sebab makan selalu nda habis!!!!

Ular Nightmare: The Suspected Culprit (>_<)

hurm~ I had the Ular nightmare again last night and this time I'm sort of pissed off.. I'm wondering why am I pestered by such reptile in my dream~? X puas hati btol..


Yup~ The Ular nightmare is somewhat occasionally but it's relatively too often if compared to others (tiba2 rasa cam ayat jawab exam..) Last night, I witnessed two huge snakes fighting.. A python and a cobra.. Both were huge but both had nice motives tattoed on their skin~ I was mesmerized by the art and just watch them fight.. Then the fire department came and caught both snakes.. They were taken for a while and then I receive a huge metal drum and found that the cobra was inside it... The fire department wanted me to keep the cobra~ WEIRD


The dreams came in so many forms.. Once I saw snakes on my mom's head and asked me to choose.. How can I choose snakes!!?? I don't want them!!! And once I was chased by a cobra who wore spectacles.. They were all WEIRD...


I posted about one of the dream here once and that time I decided to search for its meaning.. Well, I was flattered with my discovery that says:

If you dream about snakes, means someone likes you.. If you were bitten by the snake then someone will come and propose you... <--Lies.. all lies~


But then last semester a friend told me he heard from a talk by Ustaz Ismail Kamus that dreaming about snakes might mean that someone wants to cast spells on you.. I saw the article written by the same ustaz a few days latter.. And I, of course, FREAKED OUT!


It's really really unacceptable because I think I did all the things that we should do before sleeping as Muslims.. And I don't think I was thinking snakes before sleeping just some silly things crossed my mind.. But then when I rose from bed today~ I saw the HAMMER at my right side.. the HAMMER that I've been sleeping with for the past two years~ the HAMMER is the SUSPECTED CULPRIT!!!!!!!!!

See.. I put it at my right side...

Here's a picure when I first got the hammer.. See.. There are pictures of snakes on it....

So what I'm going to do next is... I'm going to remove the HAMMER from my bed.. I'll put it further at the edge of my bed.. If I still dream about snakes.. I think I'm going to draw the air out and keep it inside my bag~ Yes.. That's what I'm going to do... I hope this will give me the peaceful slumber

Life Decisionssssss

Just got back from the Law and Ethics exam.. Literally embarassed with my answers.. I think the lecturer will definitely laugh at it~



Hurm.. Life decision.. Well I'm writing this on account of the things occuring around me.. to the people around me.. My very best friend just received a marriage proposal from a guy who's not her boyfriend.. Well she is still single and suddenly the marriage proposal just come about out of the blue.. She broke the news to me by handing over her handphone to me.. I was puzzled and read the message displayed on the screen...


"..berniat nak buat isteri"


Yup.. that was the last words in that message that stopped my heartbeat and then I went from gradually bulging eyes to AAAAAARGGGGHHHH!!!! Yup~ I went nuts... Then I started rolling on her bed.. And unnecessarily panicking "Macam mana ni!!?? Macam mana ni!!??" As if I'm the one who needs to make the decision~



Then come the news about my cousin getting married this December.. She told me this through YM~ I burried my face on my pillow and went AAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!! again...

For my BFF case I was actually panicking because it felt like I'm going to lose her to someone else if the answer is YES, I'LL MARRY YOU... But for my cousin's case, this means at my mom's side, my turn has finally come to get married.. Urgh!


I received this email a few days after my BFF told me aout the proposal.. Well I subscribe articles from Steve Brunkhorst so I received emails like this every week and I love it heee (^^)


Stage 1. Autonomy and Tentative Choices (Approximately 18-26)

Essential skills: goal setting, career planning, financial planning, establishing a home, developing self-reliance, transitioning to new peer groups, cooperation and teamwork, advanced learning skills.


See...

Planning my career~

That occured to me a few weeks ago when we were to send the job application form to KKM.. I have a difficult time deciding which hospital to choose.. I was almost at the state of defeat because the possibility to be placed at my desired-hospital is almost zero... And then I was sort of planning to pursue my Master under UIA scholarship but then I was thinking again, do I really want to live in Kuantan for like 10 to 11 years??? And if I meet someone and plan to settle down, will that person want to live here in Kuantan??? haha berfikiran jaoh~

Financial Planning~

My friends and I had a discussion on this while waiting for our lecturer.. I was condemned on my habit not knowing which is necessaties and which is desires~ For instance, nak beli bakul dobi.. There's a plain bakul dobi worth RM 3 and a fancy bakul dobi worth RM 12.. Guess which one would I buy?? Correct!!! It's the fancy one!! Because it's like an apple in the eye and I would be happy upon seeing my clothes inside such a beautiful thing~ My friends was like "Gg, ko kena ubah prangai tu especially bile dah ade family.." Aiyak! I'll try~

Establishing a home~

I don't quite get this.. Does it mean to BUY a home or is it to build a home with a HUSBAND and KIDS in it?? Hurm~ Recently, I've been thinking about it quite thoroughly.. But there's nothing much I could do because if I'm to BUY a house, I have scarce saving (thanks to my shopping habit~) and if I'm to have a HUSBAND and KIDS inside a home--->>

first I don't have a husband-to-be guy yet...

And secondly, I'm still unwilling to give in my wonderful carefree single life.. I can't even sacrifice it to have a relationship, what more to get married!

Transitioning to new peer groups~

I know it's too early to be worried about this but honestly I've been thinking how it would be to have to fit in in a new circle of friends.. Starting all over again~ Aiyak! Unimaginable.. I just hope the people at my future working place is not annoying and stuff...



Hurm~ Although I am anticipating a lot of changes this year but still I'm not ready to have all of this phases of life coming piling up in one year~ Although most of the things I mentioned has not yet occur, they are actully haunting me because I'm so afraid when the time comes for me to really have to MAKE THE DECISION~


Am I the only one thinking this through..? Or does all of us do? especially those who are graduating~

Some might suggest to go with the flow~ but what if "the flow" is like a rapid current di jeram2 level tinggi?? Can I cope with that?? hohoho

Ultimate Victory: ARC EXPLORACE!!!

In my previous post I mentioned about the joy of winning, right? Well, this is what it was all about. Winning 3rd place in ARC Explorace!!!! I was very excited when I knew about the program because I've never joined such thing although I've always wanted to try. During first year when Ipha organized the Ipharace, I was on my crutches and only get to see my friends rushing all over Kuantan town through the car window... And sadly when ARC first organize the Explorace I was one of the committee.

It was quite difficult to find the fifth member in our team and finally Dayah agreed to complete the quorum \(^^)/

GG.. Mekwa.. Shifaa.. Ray.. Dayah..

This picture was taken a day before the race. That's the challenge trophy we're holding. That afternoon I went to take it from the previous winner and showed it to my friends who were doing Poco poco in the Musolla.. And that evening, when they were just back from jogging, they came running to my room telling they want us to take pictures with it.. It was posted on fb that very evening too saying that we already won the race. Yup.. some fell for it.. haha

This is the picture before the race.. We did some strategic planning of course while waiting for the race to start.. The strategy was "Kite tak yah pecut.. Kite maintain je.. Yang penting pace same dari awal sampai akhir.." Chewah! Since we won 3rd place and were the first all girls team, I think the strategy did work!




This is the picture taken right before the race starts.. The 1st task was.. 4 of us have to run to somewhere with a balloon tied below our knees. If the balloon burst at any point during the run, we'll be penalized... One of us have to ride a bike whose seat has been removed and with her, she must bring 3 eggs and make sure that those eggs are safe until the end of the race.

Task 2: We have to eat peria, garlic, chilli and raw egg.. Luckily Dayah and Ray were in the team.. Dayah ate the Peria like it was a SALAD!! And Ray was our ultimate saviour because it was her who manage to finish the raw egg and chilli. I took a sip of the raw egg.. It was disgusting!! I almost vomit~ eeeeww

Task 3: 2 of us have to play batu seremban and get certain points while the other three are to menganyam tikar.. Hehe once again we were masters in all of the tasks.. Ray and Mekwa happen to be RATU batu seremban and I'm quite good when it comes to menganyam thing... Dayah, Shifaa and I manage to finish the tikar within few minutes because there was this magical sync in our movements.. hehe The tikar was neat too!

Task 4: We ran to the lake.. There... 3 of us have to eat bananas without holding them and two of us have to fetch a flag at the other end of the lake by using a kayak. Only one person can row the kayak and that person was blindfolded.. Dayah and I took the second task.. Dayah was the navigator I was the rower..

Actually there was a lizard inside our kayak!!!! I was screaming like hell when I saw it and refuse to get inside. But the urge to win was much2 stronger so I went in anyway. The blindfold really helped me to forget that there was the most intimidating reptile with me inside the kayak :P After the race, I told my other roommates about the incident.. They were proud of me~ hahaha

Task 4 cum preliminary to task 5:
We were given a blurred picture of a signage in KOM. We were to find it, take a picture of it and return to the lake

Task 5: Bowling Kelapa.. We were the 2nd team to reach the checkpoint but luck was not on our side. We chose a lane with a lot of bumps so the coconut tend to swerve from the lane!!!

Kami redha dengan kedudukan ketiga... Hehe because the first team were all guys, the second team consists of 3 guys and 2 girls.. and us.. ALL GIRLS!!!!! GIRL POWER!!!! \(^^)/

Ini lah team yang overtook us at the last check point.. haha


We had a very good time during the race. My body was aching all over because the blindfold makes me row like crazy.. I couldn't predict the distance so I was using full energy because it felt so far when everything was pitch dark.. We're looking forward to join another race. This was a confidence-booster... Now we know that WE CAN!!!!

Visit to zoo!!! (^^)

This weekend was filled with lots of joy and love hehe Love to the animals.. Joy of winning.. Every single thing was SUPERB!

Saturday 16 January 2010...

I'm taking veterinary pharmacy this semester and for this subject we have two visits. One to an animal farm and another one to a zoo, most probably zoo Taiping.. So here are the pictures from the visit to an animal farm located somewhere in Pantai Sepat (^^)

These are the girls who joined the visit.. Ray is not in the picture because she was the one holding the camera..

We are actually inside the "rumah kambing". It's leveled, and have this unique stairs and I think it's quite neat and cosy for the goats to live in. The kid was there in the corridor and we were pretty excited to take his pic because he's so cute.

They also have birds there. I don't know how many species there were but there were peacocks, love birds, parrots, chicken, ducks...

They have rabbits too!!! So cute and fluffy!!! Sadly we were not allowed to cuddle them... I think this one looks like Charlie Chaplin. Those black lines look just like a mustache

This one looks like he belongs to a boy band.. Look at the hair in between the ears.. The 'M' shape.. Ala yang glamour dulu2 tu.. Ala2 Nick Carter...

Look closely... WA!!!! Kan kan kan? Macam Nick Carter! hehe


The visit was a short one but we had a great time there.. One thing that I just realized about me.. I don't touch short-haired animals.. I couldn't get myself to touch the horse, the cattles and even when touching that cute kid I was actually somewhat reluctant at first.. Ada sedikit kegelian di dalam diri.. Sorry to discriminate all of yous.. hehe

But still.. I LOVE ANIMALS!!!!!!!!
