NPSC 2010 \(^^)/

6th March 2010.. National Pharmacy Sports Carnival (NPSC)

This event was held in Shah Alam and the host for this year's NPSC was MSU...
I played futsal this year and was the captain of the team.. Awe and I were busied by lots of things including the interbatch sports that we had only one training.. Awe and I desperately searched for our long-lost chemistry that night but it was almost futile..

I'm really grateful to the juniors that they had their own initiative for training and did not rely on me.. Thanks girls..

There were 6 teams and we were in Group A along with Uitm and USM...

UIA vs Uitm 0-2 UIA vs USM 2-0 (1st goal by Anis and 2nd goal by me)
Semi Final
UIA vs MSU 2-0

We won the penalty in the semi.. Honestly, I was all weary after the game.. The MSU team was quite agile and the keeper could throw the ball up to the D area that we had to intnsify our defense. My greatest gratitude to our keeper Nad who was really good at her job.. She saved a lot of attempts inclcuding two penalties!!!! \(^^)/




Thanks also to Anis who scored the first penalty and Sha who scored the second one.. I was about to do the third one.. Put myself last because I didn't trained for penalty and my previous penalty during interkuliyyah was predictable.. aiyak!

Final
UIA vs Uitm 1-0

This was a scary game.. Luckily I got used to all the crowd and cheers due to the previous interkuliyyah so I just shut my world from the surrounding crowds of noisy supporters.. I scored the winning goal.. I didn't really expect the attempt would score a goal.. I heard Awe's voice saying "Gg GOOO!!!" and just kicked the ball and then I saw the ball passed a few players in front of me and missed the keepers hand and voila GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!!!!

And then we just defend the goal.. 3 of us were defending and when the ball was ours only one went to attack.. Well, we were only killing time.. But it was rather annoying that it felt so long inside the court~ I could hear our friends chanting "BERTAHAN BERTAHAN BERTAHAN" I think I was chanting along inside my mind

O ya~ this is the netball team who also won gold.. The final was against uitm too.. It was scorching hot and we were all burnt and tanned~
Surprisingly, despite winning 5 Golds we were not the overall champion for NPSC.. Weird~

O ya~ Rx5 won all games during interbatch again.. Alhamdlillah~ I was quite worried of losing because I was openly confident in facebook hahaha That was intentional though.. Just to trigger some hype during the game...


Hurm.. I guess that's all.. I don't know why I have this feeling that all these games stuffs will be my last.. Maybe because of that the end of my student life is approaching~ Or am I thinking of tansforming myself into a demure indoor girl?? NOT!!!!!!!!!!

Post-over-physical-activity effect-->> Increased appetite and sleep!!!!!!!!!! Huargh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zoo Negara!!!!!!!

5th March 2010.. Visit to Zo0 Negara

Honestly, I went there for like 5 to 6 times already since 1992 so I was not all that excited since there were really2 little changes in my previous visits.. But this visit was undeniably an extraordinary one than the ones in the past. For the first time ever we had the chance to directly meet the vets that tend the animals and they jubilantly shared their knowledge and experience.

We observed the hospital.. See for ourselves what medicine they use and how they keep it... But my faourite part would the talk by Dr Muhamaad Daniel Felix.. You can see it in his eyes how passionate he is with his job.. He shared some knowledge about animal behaviour that made the room with o0o0o0o0hh~ and aaaaaaahhhh~

My favourite story is about his loser babboon who annually got admitted into the ward due to injury from his lost battle for a mate.. The babboon was so a loser that finally the zoo decided to put him into isolation whenever the mating season come so that he'll not be beaten .. But the doctor told us that although the injuries were obviously fatal-looking, the babboon have this remarkable healing that he healed quickly after that

Mount Nuang Expedition (^^)v

I've abandoned you dear blog.. Forgive me...


Hurm.. My days were recently filled with strenuous physical activities that I don't have time to update..

26-27 February 2010.. Mount Nuang Expedition

This program was actualy a training for those who are going to Mount Kinabalu this April but the Power Puff Girls plus Mekwa manage to get ourselves in.. We did a Two days One night climb..

We started the hike on Friday evening when it was raining like cats and dogs.. It was raining so heavily that my vision was slightly blurred. The beginning of the hike was rather easy though you have the heavy bags on your shoulder.. Nuang is also known with its vicious pacat.. Some of my friends were attacked.. They were surprisingly big.. Luckily I was saved~ hehe

We camped at camp Lolo.. There's a stream of river there so it was really convenient for us to bath, cook and doing other necessary business.. Not to forget, the camp was pacat free too

The next morning, we shoot for the peak.. Overall, I think the climb was great.. Not too easy nor is it too tough.. A more satisfying climb than Tebu since I do consider it was challenging.. The route was steep almost all the way up. We have to step on roots and rocks and our clothes were rather severely smeared with dirt.. Well, the earth were still damp from the rain..

Well, lately the weather seem to be not on our side.. The view was rather frustrating since it was all white around us.. The peak was quite small but it was big enough to accomodate us to have lunch up there.

O ya!!!!!!!!! this was also the first climb where we saw lots of animals..

Shifaa and Mekwa saw a grey snake~

We also saw a species of beetle that made itself round like a ball when you touch it..

And Shifaa and I almost step on red snake!!!!!!!!!

Mount Tebu Expedition (19-21 Feb 2010)

The long awaited hiking trip finally came.. I was literally counting days because I really miss strolling between trees, lingered by the scent of leaves and the majestic foggy scenery that awaits at the top... Well Mount Tebu is 1039 m high located in Besut, Terengganu.. It was around 6 hours drive from Kuantan. The starting point of the hike was Lata Belatan. It's a beautiful recreational place that has a flowing river with watefall.. We spent a night there and had a short taaruf session since most of the participants of the trip were new members

The trail to the peak of Mount Tebu from Lata Belatan was 7 km.. Although the route was easy with lots of flat grounds, still having those heavy bags on our shoulders does gave the challenge.. The beginning of the hike require us to cross the river by walking on rocks.. I was captivated by the color of the river.. At some parts it was aquamarine and I think it is deep enough for swimming.. The jungle is quite thick and it was not at all windy that I was drenched in sweat immediately..

The first stop was Sg Cakah Dua where we need to cross the river by walking on a slim tree trunk and this was where our balancing ability was put to test.. I was bad at it..

Next we stopped at Punca Air.. There's a small water point about 120 m from here. I didn't go there but according to those who did, it was a quite a struggle.

They described it as "Jalan balik je dah leh abes air yang kite amek tu"

O yeah, it was also here where we performed our prayers...



Then there was this Jendela Pandang.. Well, based on the name itself, I thought it must have this great view there.. However you can only see trees and a neighbouring hill..

Then came the peak!!! Well the peak is quite spacious. You can camp there but it's quite far from the waterpoint. The peak was surrounded by trees so you can't see that much from there.

Aha!!!! After a few minutes walk from the peak you'll reach Batu Madrasah.. This is my favourite spot of all in Mount Tebu.. The view there was breathtakingly brilliant.. It was foggy at first and we only enjoyed the cool breeze there. But when the sky was cleared, the view was actually overlooking a small part of the land and the South China Sea.. And we promptly screamed


"OMBAK JAHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!"



There's also mystical stories about Batu Madrasah.. People frequently hear a voice reciting Quranic verses and Adzan there.. Two of our participants heard it too.. I admit that we were too ecstatic up there.. Luckily nothing happen huhuhu


O yeah, Mount Tebu is also famous as a place for martial art training especially Silat.. There's this one rock carved with Jawi writing and we couldn't really understand what's written on it except for the word Yasin on the very top of it. Honestly, it was rather an eerie-looking rock hehe

My Chinese New Year Holiday (^^)v

Honestly... I was unhappy when I heard the news about Kuliyyah of Pharmacy giving extra holiday on Friday.. For days I was disturbed by the thought of where to go during the 5 days holiday.. I was dawned with the idea of loneliness.. ultimate silence and stillness... Pathetic imagination that was~


Well.. I was actually looking forward to conquer another mountain peak during the holiday but fate has it that the expedition was cancelled and no back up plan was there for me.. My dreams of spending my time in an enchanted green surrounding was dishevelled... I really really miss those good old days filled with adventure (However, I don't miss you Encik Pacat~)



But then as usual.. My free time will be filled with exciting stuffs that I've not anticipated at all. It so happened that all my brothers in Puchong are going back this holiday except for Apit who is studying in Unimas and also Abg Saba who is in UK. I had the chance to meet the new in-law of the family, the wife of the third bro, Asiela (I hope I spell that right) who happen to be in the same age as me.. Another point to bully me for not having any boyfriend.. CES!

And then they also have a new member in the family.. MAWAR SOFEA.. She is so adorable... I can't help but stare at her all the time.. I'm not very good at cuddling newborns.. I think I don't have those essential fats to make them comfortable in my arms.. And then I think all the sports and games stuffs have made my touch and grips stiffer... But then I'm very proud when I manage to make her fall asleep in my arms!!!! YES!!!!

And then my dear friend Azie got married on Sunday.. I manage to attend the nikah.. She was so beautiful and there was this clear shine of happiness in her face.. May the couple be blessed at all times.. Ameen.. I think her 'pelamin' was very nice.. Simple, neat and somewhat unique.. They have this very entertaining DJ too who was teasing the newly weds...

And then on Monday I went wall climbing with Zac and Zarif at Camp 5 in One Utama.. It's very huge with lots of routes.. From easy, medium to hard.. It was really enticing and I really wanted to try all but my muscles started aching after 2 to 3 climbs and I did manage to finish some routes hehe Here are some pics..

That night we had a family barbeque.. It was also sort of a surprise birthday party for Makcik and Pakcik; both born in February... This was where I met this handsome guy named Mikaeel...

Hurm.. Perasan x?? Kalo benda2 best mesti cepat jak masa berlalu... Same goes with my CNY holiday... Suddenly I'm already back at Kuantan.. Haiyak! Hurm wondering what's coming my way~~~

Paulo Coelho~

Hurm.. Tracing back my favourite authors...


Francine Pascal-->> Sweet Valley (Jr.. high..mid school..mystery.. I had them all haha)


R.L Stine-->> Goosebumps and the Cheerleader Saga where there's this cheerleading team that seem to be haunted by evil spirits~


Sidney Sheldon-->>Fell in love with "Nothing Last Forever" and started to collect his books.. They are thrillers~


J.K Rowling-->> Harry Potter is an all time favourite...


Nicholas Sparks-->> My favourite author for romance.. Mature storyline with the least obscene plots if compared to other romance books hahaha My favorite would be "The Wedding" but I also like "The Walk to Remember" (Nangis masa baca time kelas add math masa form 5)


Danielle Steel-->> My favourite "Granny Dan"


Mitch Albom-->> One more to complete my collection...

Well.. There are more but these are amongst those that I collected.. But seriously, I realized that my reading materials are turning more philosophical and abstract these days.. Rather than favouring fiction, where there's an idealistical story which I'm supposed to be eager to finish, I prefer real life stories now.. Real life stories where each line is contemplated into a greater meaning of my own.. Which to some extend will influence the actions that follow after I close the book.. Okay~ enough said so now I want to talk about this new-found favourite author...



Hurm.. I really don't know what drives me to talk about this author's writing.. I think I'm just mesmerized by the way he perceive the world around him.. By the way he sees things whereby he note that every single element of the world are parts of the unique circle of life.. And he has this gift of making great analogy from the things around us and relate it to the things we do in life.. He also have this collection of stories that he gained from years and years of travelling and interaction with people..

Yup this is my first book of Paulo Coelho's.. This one comprise of short stories.. About the things he encountered, his ideas from the phenomenon that he observed.. His language are so easy to understand, gracefully written because he did mention that the most important thing is to make readers understand what he's trying to convey.



He's a Brazillian and is quite a devout Christian.. I always think that Brazillian are like that because I remember during one World Cup, when Brazil won, after a few leaps of joy after the victorious penalty (I think it was a penalty that time), the players formed a huge circle and they prayed together for a moment right in the middle of the field and then start to celebrate their triumph again...

So.. For this book, there are some parts where he did mention about missionary, chapel and stuffs but really from my opinion, that shouldn't deprive us from extracting the positive messages.. You can just read it, ignore it and not let it influence your faith...



Yeah~ so if you favour Mitch Albom or any other known author who loves to write about what matters in life, you'll definitely like this one..
