Since i'm too free

It has been a very eventful week for me! Winning IBA Unplugged was definitely a highlight, and the feeling of winning the competition was ecstatic!

And just last week i hiked up Mount Tahan with Peter, Tee Keat, Michael, Wai Hang and my "beloved" brother - Nigel. Not so ecstatic, but a reasonable amount of fun!

Let me start with a few fun facts about Mount Tahan taken from Wikipedia before i start my post.

"Mt Tahan aka. Gunung Tahan, at 2187 m is the highest point in Peninsular Malaysia. In Malay language, "gunung" means "mountain" and "tahan" means "endure". Thus the name of the mountain suggests that a certain level of physical endurance is required to conquer the mountain. Gunung Tahan is considered by many to be one of the toughest treks in Peninsular Malaysia.

"Climbers without adequate physical fitness or training are not advised to attempt Gunung Tahan.
"

No problems there for me obviously.

HAHA

Moving on...


Us at the bus station waiting for our delayed bus
Left to right: Me, Peter, Tee Keat, Michael, Wai Hang and Nigel

Took a bus on Sunday 1 am and reached Taman Negara, Pahang 4am. We waited and slept at some run down bus stop before we started our hike at around 10am on Monday.


We needed to cross a few rivers. And those algae rocks and that strong river current weren't too friendly with me. But we managed.




This is a leech.




Us camping a night at one of the camp sites, before heading for the peak the next day.





The peak, finally...

It was really cold up there because of the strong wind. And to make matters worse, it rained heavily too. But that definitely didn't stop me from bathing (unlike some people, names shall not be mentioned here). I was too dirty and sweaty to not bath. hehe So i gathered up my courage and SPLASH SPLISH SPLASH! And BRR BRR Brrrrr! Cold!

Omg, i got to stop this.

Anyway, we hiked home the following day. Peter and I decided to run down home, probably cause we have had enough of this Man vs Wild thing (and also some incentive provided by KFC in town).

Had our glutton meal at KFC then took a train back home to Kl Central that night. KTM was in really bad shape. My bunk was really gross as they did not clean up my bed. The sheets looked so messy and I only could imagine some sweaty gross man was sleeping there before me. What to do, no choice but to make do. EWW EWW EWWW

...

"Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez and Berbatov coming at you. God have mercy on our opponents!"







The battery for my camera died la, so could not take any pictures.

Here we go again...

I am really glad that we FINALLY managed to go to Club Med together before Ken goes back to the States. Anyway...

The 3 hour journey did not even feel like it was - gossiping, cam whoring (hence the beautiful pictures later on) made the journey there fun! We did sailing, volleyball, kayaking (raja kaya haha!), swam like dolphins, played archery like Legolas, ping pong like the olympics, trapezed like the circus and also did some tanning like Andrew.

There are too many pictures, so I chose the pretty and handsome ones. More pictures will be on facebook!


The Club Med team


Go! Go! Power Ranger!

She was really sweet to apply some sun block for me...


Off to the beach via train!

MTV Asia Awards

So just last week i went for MTV Asia Awards. Don't ask me how i got it, or more like don't ask me how much i paid for it. But it was definitely worth the money, considering it was a life time experience, possibly the closest you can get to a Grammy award ceremony, and also get to stay for FREE in Joyce's "B's" suite (if you get what i mean).

Anyway, here am i looking leng chai and wern eik looking leng lui well dressed for our exclusive event.



Just wanted to feel like we were going to Grammy only.



Pussycat dolls. Nicole was pointing at me by the way.

During commercial breaks, these two - Uht and Miss Iforgothername,butithinkit'sKaren would come out and get the crowd happy and excited. By throwing freebies and stuff all. They are really good looking, especially that girl!



Yeah, Utt is gay. A homo. They say a lot of good looking guys end up being gay. How sad huh girls? But no worries! I'm not gay! *giggles

Anyway, moving on...



One Republic! Yeah, pointing at me again. One of the main reasons i went, but they were okayyy only. What high expectations i have.



Leona Lewis!



Click 5!

And last but not least,



Panic! At the disco.

Panic and Leona gave the best performance among the lot. Super tight despite the crappy sound system.

Overall the whole Genting trip was super fun! Get to play arcade and all somore! I had more fun than the outdoor theme park! (I'm 20 next month by the way)

But I still felt the Asia awards was still a small fry. That's because all the international artists that came down to perform, all won awards during the event. So how lame can that be? Everything somehow staged? I think?





One more thing I found out from the Asia awards too!

Ever wonder how even someone like Jared Leto can host an award show so smoothly with all those lame jokes?

Carpe diem

Hello fellow readers! I'm currently on my break now, so anyone want to chill, club, partayyyy with the ben-ster can just give me a ring ring.

Actually i'm just slacking around while i'm suppose to apply for killer unis in the US. And I will definitely blog about MTV Asia awards and the Panic! at the disco concert when i get back my camera from Wernz.

And oh yah, i have also been playing badminton lately! So fun! Reviving those lost talents of mine. But shuttlecocks now are so expensive and even selling for 70! for a tube of 10 Yonex shuttlecock?! =0 That's even more expensive than playing futsal already.

The other day i went back to school to collect my English - 1119 cert. I miss school, school has changed so much, or maybe i have changed. And the worse part was while i was looking for my name through the name list, i see Andrew's name there. His cert uncollected. And memories of us together in school just flash by again. Sigh.

I love you laaa Andrew. Wish you were here to join me wearing sleeveless jerseys to show off our sexy biceps. haha

It's been awhile since i last posted up pictures of me. So...


Hello there! Still looking good.

BYE




I finally blogged! Are you entertained?! haha
