My 1st Camping Trip - Chiling Waterfall

Where: Selangor

Location: 21 kilometers from Kuala Kubu Bharu on the road to the Gap

Coordinates and map: East 101 45.05' North 03 35.71'

 

This is one hell of camping experience for me. The journey started of with 8 people, only 7 people actually camped over night and we came back down with 9 people. How weird is that???

 

This is a map of Chiling Waterfall.

 

 

As you can see, you need pass through 6 rivers in order to reach this gigantic drop. We spent 1 hour 30 minutes hiking, traveling through the “garden fern” and got bitten by ZILLION ZILLION of mosquitoes. We didn’t actually camp at the campsite because the sky started pouring and we couldn’t cross the last 3 rivers.The river crossings were not easy at all because it was raining and the water level were high. The water current was really strong and one of my friend nearly drowned while crossing it. So don’t fuck around with Mother Nature, especially when it rains. Overall, it was a good trekking and camping experience for me. In the end, we get to see the monstrous fall. The waterfall is about 50 meters tall. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! And I must say, there is a reason why they call is Chiling Waterfall… this is because the water is FREAKING CHILLING!!

 

Look at the water current.

 

This is our kitchen area. We have so much left over.

 

At River Crossing NO# 5. The water is SUPER COLD! Only 2 crazy guy were brave enough to dip into the water when we arrived at the actual camp site the next morning.

 

Ian~ Enjoying his TUNA. Ah heng~ No Idea what is he doing.. washing his hand??

 

9 of us. How come there is only 8 people when we started our journey? *Hehe*

 

My, Louise and Jess.

 

Finally-- Chiling Waterfall!!

I got Tagged by Lyndel

Rules of the Game:
1. The tagged victim must come up with 10 different points of their perfect lover.
2. Need to mention gender of target.
3. Tag 3 victims to join this game & leave a comment saying they've been tagged.
4. If tagged again, there's no need to post a 2nd time.

 

1.      Someone who loves me equally as I do. I don’t need someone who loves me more than I do. I believe equal love will lead to a long and lasting relationship.

 

2.      I must be physically attracted to him. He doesn’t need to be or look like a model but he must able to attract me and keep me attracted. He definitely needs to be taller than me. I need to feel safe when I walk next to him.

 

3.      He must have passion in his job. He needs to love what he is currently doing. Without passion, he won’t go far in his career. He needs to have a vision on where is he going to be in 5 years time and he needs to start working hard to achieve his goals.

 

4.      He CAN’T SMOKE, DO DRUGS, GAMBLE or be an Alcoholic. Is a BIG NO NO!

 

5.      He needs to be supportive and help me through tough times. I don’t need a guy to tell me everything will be alright. I need a person that can guide me and help me to solve my problems.

 

6.      He needs to be a good listener. He can’t be egotist. He must be able to understand different views and opiniona.

 

7.      My family members and friends must get along with him. He must be able to start a conversation with them. Being anti-social is a big NO NO.

 

8.      He needs to be honest to me. Honestly is the best policy. Even though the truth might hurt but is always good to know the truth rather than finding it out myself.

 

9.      He can’t be a cheapskate. He must be a gentleman.

 

10. He can’t be over protective. He needs to give me a lot of freedom and he need to trust me. But obviously he can’t totally ignore me. He needs to spend some quality time with me once in a while.

 

I tag Siew May, Ee Leen and Marvin

~Hide and Seek~

Where are we? What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to fall,
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling.
Spin me round again and rub my eyes.
This can't be happening.
When busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines.
All those years they were here first.

Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before.
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this
still life.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines. (Oh, you won't catch me around here)
Blood and tears,
They were here first.

Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best? Ah off course it is.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this.
Mmm what you say?
What did she say?

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no feeling, no I dont believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.

*Check out this song... is pretty cool.

Thailand Trip - 5days 4nightS at Bangkok and Pattaya

Here are some pictures me and my girls took during our Thailand trip.

We stayed at Aisawan for 2 nights.Even though the hotel has it own private beach but the sea wasn't clean at all. I think Pattaya is equivalent to PD. I was actually quite disappointed because I expected Pattaya to be like Redang or even more beautiful. But I did enjoyed the spa at Aisawan Hotel! The Coffee Body Scrub was the best!!! And you know what I missed most? The lemon grass ice tea that they served after the Sauna and the Mud Bath. It taste so refreshing and good. 

~Me and Jess having Breakfast~

~Me, Jess, Ashley and Leeping at the hotel Lobby~

~Hanging out in the balcony of the hotel room because it was raining outside, it was a gloomy day~

I'm not too sure what the name of this place. But apparently, one of the princess in Thailand wants the Buddha picture to be laser onto this huge stone. Cool huh?

We stayed 2 night in Bangkok. Oh yea! I was freaking sick during the whole trip, thanks to my dear leeping. But I really enjoyed this trip. Thanks for organizing this trip girls!

Great lovers Versus Great couples

Would you rather be with someone that you are madly in love with (Your heart, genital are most likely overwhelmed by your brain at that stage) or would you rather be with someone that is very compatible with you (no arguments, smooth sailing all the way)? I once read an article saying that, the person you would end up marrying may not be the person you love the most, the reason why you got married is because you feel comfortable being together with him/her and you know that you will live happily ever after without any complications or arguments. So what are we really looking for in a relationship? Are we looking for someone that can give us stability or are we looking for someone that pours us with lots of love but unstable? Obviously, we would want to be in the great lovers and great couples zone. But how often can we really find someone like that? For those who are already in that zone, Well Done and Congratulation!!

For those who do not see yourselves in the great lovers and great couples zone. What does it takes to find that person? I think mate selection is a difficult task, and there are many reasons: each person may pretend to be something he/she isn’t. Or each person may honestly describe him/herself but change later on or even worst each person may change his/her mind about what he/she wants constantly.. etc..etc.

Sometimes I wonder do we use our heart, genitals or our brains in mate selection? We often believe that on one magical day, “it” will happen; we will meet and instantly recognize the right person, hence, we live happily ever after and until death do us apart! How exactly does this notion from movies and novels fit with reality?

And don’t you think love is just such a powerful tool, especially when threatened; it isn't something we can turn on and off. Maybe some of us can't make objective decisions while in love, but I don't believe that is entirely true. We can't eliminate all the craziness of love, but we can learn to be much more realistic by recognizing our denial and our needs or maybe by listening to others' opinions?

Here is something that I found on the internet.There is limited research and very little truly usable knowledge about love. However, there are many beliefs--often contradictory or paradoxical--about love. Examples:

· Love grows after marriage--or--Love leaves after the marriage ceremony.

· People in love are crazy--or--A wise person marries for love.

· You know within minutes or hours if you can love a person--or--Love may develop after you have known each other for months or years.

· Love solves most of life's problems; it's the way to find happiness--or--You can't live with a man/women and you can't live without them.

· Love is nature's trick to insure the species--or--Love and sex are two different things.

· Love is the only thing needed for a good marriage; love conquers all--or--Constant work and many coping skills are needed to maintain a marriage.

· Love is blind; it is an addiction--or--Marriages are made in heaven.

· People in love shouldn't have sex until they are married--or--Sex is the most intense and noble expression of love.

· Love blots out all other interest in other people--or--You can love two people at the same time.

· Love is just between a man and a women--or--Love between two women or two men is exactly the same as between straights.
