day 3 sabah-snorkelling

our highlight in the trip to sabah was definitely the manukan snorkelling, which was not planned since my two frens che na and wawi cannot cannot cannot swim maaa.....heheeheheehee but thanks to dik non who insisted that we have to go to a pulau in order to make the trip more memorable and she is right......it becomes our highlight of the trip.....hehehehehehe BRAVO DIKNON!!So , pepagi subuh dawn (as pak khalid always put it ) kitorang pun pegi ke jeti (as shown above, and me and dik non decided to snorkeling and the other two frens tak mau..(diorang takut jerung lari kalu diorang snorkeling....pasal lebih kurang je muke..heheehehh)

that "scary " pakcik boat brought us to a point where we can se all the beautiful corals (i bet there are places more beautiful than that in the park ) in the sabah water park and so, me and dik non jump into the water ...was so funny that dik non actually berpaut pada tali...takut

but since that was our fist time dealing with that thing, kire ok la tuh...

after all the snorkelling and makan session,

we waited for the "scary" pak cik boat to come, but he never showed up, and we went back to KK by another boat...

TrEasUrE hunters at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This entry is dedicated to the hunters 25 team....Dik Non, Wawi and Che Na..had a gr8 hunting time with you guys although angin angin puting beliung and ribut petir ada tanda tanda nak menunjukkan diri...heheeeh...i guess that is just normal when you are ona quest...am i rite??but no heart feelingssssss!!!Our car number was 25 ,and it started in such a hurry /chaos, since we tried to get Wawi to be there at the starting point earlier (takut die lamnbat macam biasa), so when she arrived there first she started to call us on he phone that i actually scolded che na for nagging in the car..heheehehee..but that's me...jgn mare.....so we managed to get Wawi arrive earlier than us...that's enough of a victory for that day..heheheeeh......(*she actually has a problem with time management..hahahaa...wawi, if you're reading this, don get mad haa....heehhehe..muaahsss)..so we started our journey from Jalan tun razak, with few papers in the hand, I actually drove the car form KL to Ayer Keroh.In Ayer keroh R&R there was a question (i dun remeber) but the answer was baskin Robbin and being the first timer in treasure hunting buziness i guess we deserved a pat on the back laaa...true what!!!!we just redah ....Do not compare with the Pro Hunters laaa......the along the way from the ayer keroh through Melaka to batu Pahat Che Na was driving and she also cannot harap one, hayyo....you aaa....been in melaka since you're born , also never look around....heheehhehe....Then come the time dik non drive..ayyoo...........takut akak.......akak tak kawen lagi Dik Non,,,ko bawa elok elok.....cannot blame her laaaaa.....she seldom drive but we made a mutual understanding that everybody have to drive...so no exception la kan.......coz i dont like driving, penat..and so does everybody inthe gang,,,,mau tak mau kena buat turn la kan..unless ade sorang yg ngaku dia suke drive..the batton in hers all the way!!!But whatever it is we made it safely to JayBEe with quite a good achievement la (personal achievement...pasal kitorang kalah....tapi tak teruk la...heheeh) look at our face.....so comot.......(At night we had the prize giving session and dinner.......The food was SO-SO...i dun like it....heheee.....Then we went to Danga Bay until 2 o clock ...(they drag me...i did not want to go in the first place)..the next morning we had breakfast and being a breakfast lover(coz to me breakfast like king, and dinner like peasant kan....)i ate all the food out!!Che Na Wawi And Dek NON was so buzy skodeng one cute guy , i dont care....heeheheee(but he's cute.!!) And after that we had our crazy photo session in the room, but out of sensitivity , i decided not to publish the photoes here...it was all acting scene and nothing more -heeheeeheheeeeee .......then we were off to Dik Non's house for lunch in Pasir Gudang , and then we started our journey back to KL. On the way back we went to Kaki Gunung Ledang for mandi manda but it was already late and senja gitu...and I have this believe that all the evils are out that time so i refused to step into the water..hehehe(truth is I tak bawa enough baju...)....so malam tu drove back to KL ....and all the gals slept in my house pasal i was so tired to send them back that nite......:)All in all i guess it was a good experience and i had fun in the hunt.....you guys are gr8....(nnot so many people can stand my attitude)hehehehe

THE CaPrI !!!!!!

while surfing on the net.........i found this

Capricorn is one of the most stable and (mostly) serious of the zodiacal types. These independent, rocklike characters have many sterling qualities. They are normally confident, strong willed and calm. These hardworking, unemotional, shrewd, practical, responsible, persevering, and cautious to the extreme persons, are capable of persisting for as long as is necessary to accomplish a goal they have set for themselves. They are reliable workers in almost any profession they undertake. They are the major finishers of most projects started by the 'pioneering' signs; with firm stick-to-it-ness they quickly become the backbone of any company they work for.

Capricornians make of themselves, resourceful, determined managers; setting high standards for themselves and others. They strive always for honesty in their criticism of self, they respect discipline from above and demand it from those beneath them. In their methodical, tough, stubborn, unyielding way, they persist against personal hardship, putting their families and/or their work before their own needs and welfare to reach their objectives long after others have given up and fallen by the wayside. In fact when practical ability allied with the drive of ambition are required in employees to make a project succeed, Capricornians are the people to hire. They plan carefully to fulfill their ambitions (which often include becoming wealthy), they are economical without meanness, and able to achieve great results with minimum effort and expense. Because of their organizing ability they are able to work on several projects simultaneously.

They have a great respect for authority but may not, if they reach high rank, be willing to listen to other opinions on things they are directly responsible for. As the ranking authority figure in a given situation they expect their underlings to be as self disciplined as they themselves are, and to perform every task undertaken to the highest standard. They are, nevertheless, fair as well as demanding. Among their equals they are not always the most pleasant of work fellows for they are reserved and too conservative, valuing tradition more than innovation, however valuable the latter, and they are often humorless. There is also a tendency to pessimism, melancholy and even unhappiness which many Capricornians are unable to keep to themselves, especially if they fail personally. In the extreme this trait can make them a very depressed individual; ecstatic happiness alternating with the most wretched kind of misery which is so subconsciously buried that he or she should seek help if such emotions become frequent. For the above reason, capable Capricorn should spend many hours in meditation, gathering the strength to control such inner emotions.

aha..................................now i know...

day 2 saghawak

on the second day, we woke up late that all of us hurried to the breakfast downstairs....as usua i am the only one who ate a lot.....the other 2 gals were so concious about their weight...(ermmm...anyway ..they should...hahahahaa..jgn mare...gurau jer).....i had all the breads, spaghettis...nasi lemak....cereals...etc, than we went up to the room to siap for the trip....we plan to go to the taman budaya and we heard that it's quite far from kuching city itself...so there we go, without any maps in hand, just a few pieces of internet brochure that we printed out, we drove first to the tamu (pasar sehari)we shopped like mad there....ya allah..macam nak bawa balik satu kargo.........all the t shirts...rantai camelia(the tribal chain)etc....kain batik sarawak....seb baik makcik yg menjual tu tak nak ikut, kalu tak, mesti wawi dah ajak balik...
at about 11 o clock we drove to the kampung budaya ,quite a long journey...and along the way, we took a lot of picture of the santubung etc....kampung budaya there is more or less like the one we had in ayer keroh melaka....they had all the houses of all the tribes, and with all the pelakon inside the house...hahahaha...we got cheated by this pakcik in the photoes ,,,,,,no..he didnt cheat us, we got cheated by our own emotions...heheehee...dok kesian kesian kat dia masa visit umah orang melanau (if im not mistaken)....looking at him doing all the crafts and sold them at a lower price, we did not bargain the price pasal kesian kat dia,,,,suddenly in the evening, while watching the show we saw him playing some instruments on the stage...hahaaahaaaa...he's an actor....we got cheated....kalu tau dah lama bargain harga...

santan kelapa , me and tok........

this afternoon i recieved an sms from zeet "cikdal, orang balik kampung, dalam fridge ada santan, pakaila..buat masak ke, buat cuci rambut ker ....etc...etc...
santan kepala....yeah...santan , the coconut milk that your mum always put into the curry.it reminds me alot to my childhood and this particular santan kelapa and the usage that time...i was raised by my grandmother in a kampung and being old and loving tok, she took care of me and my big sister from top to toe...(ala ala cleopatra plak..hehee) and she would use the santan kelapa to wash my hair so that it will shine and black shiny...(sunsilk would just get mad if they read this) i didnt realize the effect it does on my hair until one particular day, after she had died ,my cousin sister was stroking my hair and she said "lembutnya rambut kak" and i realize it must be the santan..everytime people mention about santan and hair care, i would always remember her ,it bring back the fond memories of her .she is a simple but strong lady and she loves us .Before I started my school , she would always put coconut oil to my hair to keep it moisturize but i refuse this "spa treatment " from her as i enter school.heheehheehe...being so keras kepala, i would only allow her to use the santan kelapa on me, not the minyak kelapa......i hate the smell..really,but it helps on the moisturizing side... we would always say "buat gulai kepala " when asked , what are we doing .....but now she has left us for almost 15 years, and my life has changed, no one would ever wash my hair with that santan kelapa again, no one would ever care wether my hair is dry or moisturized, i kinda miss her so much and hope that she's here with me ....alfatihah....

my fav photo in saghawak

kamek ke saghawak

orang penan, me, orang penan handsome, che na, wawi in cultural village at the penan hut..

hahahahaaaa...my trip to sarawak started like this,
me : che na, jom pi sarawak
che na jom, jap tanyer wawi
me: amik je nombor ic dia.....
so ,i log into the Air Asia website and booked the flight for the three of us and patiently waited for the time.
29th january 2005 :i attended the PTD test in the morning , it was awfully done, my mind is out there in Kuching,my heart already in the south china sea but my body remain here in the exam hall. I met my good friend Ayu...Ayu, if you re reading this, i really miss you, since you get married we seldom see each other, but i wish you happiness..muaahhhhsss....
ok back to the sarawak trip,after the exam, at around 5 o clock, it was raining heavily and i was so worried we wont make it to the KL central that evening,but alhamdulillah,we made it to the KL central at around 5.40 and took the ERL to the KLIA..this time we didnt take the service of our honourable driver a.k.a azli beri beri (as aidil always put it)hehehe..azli if you're reading this.....dont get mad kay......you're our all time favourite driver.......(favourite driver =beloved friend).....i am always the kind yang kalut sket when it comes to travelling by public transportation..so i can see that i am the most worried person in the gang....i am the one yang rushing them to quick and walk faster,, while my two freninds ni mmg suke lenggang kangkung etc....geram jugak , but i think our friendship has come to the stage where "lantak hang la nak marah sorang sorang...aku tembel nak buat macamna..."heheeheheee...
so the flight was around 7 45pm...(errkk..is it right che na?wawi?i forgot the actual time...)oo ya...
i forgot to actually high light the incident in the departure hall.che na actually got her "boyfren angkat there, a sarawakian whom i thought was a godsend to us from heaven,,not because he becomes che na's boyfriend but he's the one who help us with the transportation there in saghawak....a kancil...hehe...oooo.....he also help us with our first meal there in Satok...the infamous mee kolok.......in our language this mee kolok would be mee maggi goreng, the one we always had at Man's...(LG1 empire tower...hehehe)if you want it to be more special, add some manok...(whick is ayam goreng in our language).....but honestly, i prefer mee mamak or maggi goreng mamak better than this..heeheh.eeee..no offends!!!!
so after the heavenly dinner we went back to the hotel,tidor!!!penat sgt...
