Penang Trip

Pre-Quel

How it all started ek?? Well so far that I can remember is it all began when I in-touched back with my childhood friend Lina. Last year we had lots of xtvt together since most of my friends already got married so I have limited single ladies to hang out anymore. By end of last year, I was kind of expressed my feeling to Lina on how I felt about my life which was unlimitedly load with work, and didn't have time for holiday. My last vacation was a trip to Sabah which I visited on early March last year. Imagine 9 months without any escaped from this "hectic & pressure" world of work, I could feel that my brain had become saturated and exhausted. It need rest. So that was it... Lina had made up a plan to visit Penang and I just totally agreed. Even Lina is one of my best fren and we had known each other since childhood, this was my first time on vacation with her. I didn't know her style, but she really gave a good first impression to me. She's the one who arranged everything from sketch to reality and everything now was history.. another great memories to remember.

Early plan there were around 7 peoples joining us for this trip but last minute it turned up to 4 peoples who agreed and confirmed to go. There were Lina, Kak Yatie, Mass and me. I had try to contribute by suggesting the interesting places to visit however like I told you, Lina was so pro-active that she had arranged everything until my only task here was just to follow the trip and enjoy (off course duit pun kena sediala...). First time I feel so easy but I never under estimated Lina as I know (in fact I had experienced it many time), all her adhoc plans usually mmg "menjadi"! As long accommodation and transport settled, yg lain would not be a matter to us. We had booked a Homestay called "BAAN TALAY" and transportation would be by Lina's car. So on the planned date (15/01/2010) Friday, Lina picked up Mass who were from office to Kajang by Komuter Train, and to Kak Yatie's house (luckily Kak Yatie pn duduk Kajang) and reached my house at 8pm. Suma kelam kabut dr opis, balik umah and siap2 amik suma bag packs until Lina dtg menjemput kami one by one. So we started our journey from KL to Penang and our adventure begins...


Journey KL-PENANG

A highway star perhaps?? No, no... despite jalan yg agak jam on that night, (we had encountered more than 4 accidents along the way) our early journey was smooth but slow la. We were entertained by rangkaian lagu2 dr Mass's HP, why? Put the blame on me as I who was assigned by Lina to bring the USB modulator had disappoint them all. It's not bcoz I forgot, but my USB had been taken by my sister without my knowledge so when the time I searched for it, it was not there. However, I did made an alternative option by burning all the hits songs to the CD. It so happened plak Lina's CD player was faulty so kira mcm takde rezeki la mlm tu nak layan lagu2 wishlist kitaorg, nasib baik lagu2 kat HP mass bole la dilayan dr lagu kat radio. So dats why lyn lagu HP je, xbukak radio langsung mlm tu.

Bukti jalan yg agak padat on that night...



Around 9pm, we stopped at Hentian Jejantas Sg Buloh for dinner. I was starving that time so we went to KFC. 3of us mmg pekena ckp2 malam tu xcept Lina who just took a salad. What?? Katanya nanti kat Penang nak mkn betul2 so kena diet dulula b4 smpai sana. Whateva.. janji bahagia.





Then there was one tragedy happened to us started from here. Suspenkan.. I tell ya, mmg suspen!!! OK after dinner, we went to Petronas to fill up gas. Lina was the driver, so she paid the fuel by CC on the machine and directly started filling while 3 of us went out from the car to the shop to buy drinks & snacks. Lina joined us few minutes later to buy drink also and from that point, we changed our driver from Lina to Mass and continued our journey.

We had a second stop at R&R Sg Perak where Line urgently needed to go to the toilet.



It was my first time been here bcoz I usually stopped at R&R Tapah if going to the North part of Malaysia. Rupanya R&R nie lg hebat dr Tapah, why?? Pasal ade escalator. Even R&R jejantas pun xde tau.. ala2 shopping complex tu.



Awesome kan...??




Gayaan muka tak puas hati terhadap lina. Kenapa ek...??




Luahan perasaan : "Beli utk ko sorang je ke? X pelawa aku pun..."

Sdg leka2 makan buah sambil amik gambo la then we realized that our PLUS ticket had missing. We searched everywhere in the car, bonnet, front compartment, under seats, back seats, all the places plus inside Lina's bag but the ticket was still not found. Nearly half an hour, we finally surrendered to find the ticket and made a conclusion that it might fall from the car when we were at the Petronas station becoz according to Lina the last time she saw the ticket was when we stopped at Sg Buloh. She had put the ticket on the compartment at the driver door so it might fall when Lina opened/closed the door.

We were all thrilled to think our fate and nearly spoil our mood to Penang. Ape2 pun, we had to continue our journey, it just perjalanan tadi yg havoc dgn suara kitaorg berkaraoke trus diam and masing2 buat muka monyok especially when I suggested that we have to pay at least RM200 for the missing ticket. I didn't mean to add the pressure on the scene but I usually took any decision based on the worse case scenario. Normally when we lost our train ticket, we will be charged according to the maximum charges (end to end point) so I estimated the toll charges from JB to Bkt Kayu Hitam , that's why it come out the cost of RM200 which was the MAX that we needed to pay. (Biar lebih dr kurang kan..). Suddenly Lina had remembered something that had save our trip that night. She suggested that we used T&G (Touch & GO) lane instead of normal cash lane becoz according to her, T&G sometimes cannot detected our first scanned point (pls I advise dun ever try this action.. unless if U're really desperate like us and pls read my story until end to find out either this tactic really works or not). She had accidentally did that before where she used her father T&G to exit to highway, however by mistake scanned using her T&G to exit from highway and successfully went through the toll barrier without any charges!. Considering our circumstances that had no choice, we took up the risk and agreed with Lina's idea but with a condition. We topped up around RM100 to her T&G card as a back up, at least if it didn't work there's something in the card to be deducted rather than zero amount, nampak sgt macam sengaja xnak bayar plak. Frankly we all started to pray along the way and debaran semakin memuncak when we reached the JURU toll, Penang. Jeng..jeng.. jeng.. as per our plan, we took the T&G lane, scanned the card and YAHOO!!!!! We made it. We passed through but not for free. There's a charges as the balance at our T&G card became RM24++ so they deducted around RM78 and at the screen it stated "Tiada maklumat perjalanan" some sort like that la... Relief, at least RM78 better than RM200 even the actual charge from KL to Penang supposed to be RM43.30 only. :D. Klakar sgt bila ingat2 balik that we all cheered out loud like crazy that time, even sbnarnya bukan free pun, kena charge jugak. Huhuhu...

We reached the Penang bridge around 2am, sempat turun kat tgh2 jambatan bg peluang to Kak Yati & Mass amik gambo, lgpun bila lg nak merasa as usually this bridge mmg sesak & jam waktu siangkan. Time2 nie la yg aman nak amik gambo.




View2 tgh malam hasil tangkapan Miss Yatie & Mass






After that we headed to BAAN TALAY at Tg Bungah. So far no problem to find the place even we had to make several U-turns becoz the Homestay was located at the back of Hotel & apartments so it's been blocked from the main road. Our homestay was an old bungalow (well it's reminded me those houses at Jalan Stonor and U-Thant area KL), 2 stories like an English colonial type near the beach. Mr Kris the owner was not there to welcome us (Ok we promised to check in around 10pm last2 sampai pkul 2am), instead he assigned his friend, Mr Stephen for registration and to show us the room.

Mata dh rabak time nie. Lina sign ape2 yg patut.



We got one room at 2nd floor, quite spacious for 4 peoples as it can put the 2 queen size beds in it, air conditioned and with TV. (br perasan dr sampai until balik, ktorg x pernah pun tgk TV tu, nampak sgt betapa packednya trip kami kali nie).



Kemudahan yg ade. Ok la kan.... Very the backpacker. I loike...!!!




The toilet was outside but not so far from our room so kiranya bole la berlari2 berkemban kuar masuk bilik air. Selesalah for back packers cuma yg x syoknya we have to control our voice as this is a homestay, jd sebarang bunyi yg keterlaluan can disturb other people jgkkan. Sbnarnya pun kitaorg dh kena sound masa mula2 smpai lg. Ye la excited punya pasal... tu la jadinya. Once we got our room key, everyone took turn for bath and trus tido. Mmg dah x larat da.. The next day plan was to tour Batu Feringgi tp kononnya before that we decided to go to the nearest beach, mandi2 and watch the sunrise. That means we had to wake up early by 7am. Did our plan succeed?? Yeah we will see....

1st Aerobic Class - 12th Jan 2010

It was Tuesday and my heart seems to beat double faster then normal. Today will be the first aerobic class session and my first time experience to conduct the class. I had been so cool like nothing happened for the past few days just to avoid myself became panic and maybe because of my tight schedule and its just an aerobic after all. I have experience with aerobic classes at my former office, my house and Fitness First, not including all the informal sessions at my room when I was at "U" and ZT house. So far steps wes not an issue. I kept reminding my mind that this was only an office level. I already knew all the participants. No need to worry or make it too formal. Just treated it similar like what I had done when I taught them on the dance steps for cheer-leading before. But of course an early preparation was still required. I needed to arrange the slots to be fitted with one hour duration. Warm Up move, Introduction to the steps, low impact steps, medium to high impact steps and lastly cooling down. All the coordination and songs selected had to be in lined with the move. Alhamdulillah, I already had it set one day before the class.

So the day had come, normally I always counted bilalah nak petang becoz dah x sabar nak balik. However today was different, I wish time slower becoz the closer time to 6pm, the more nervous I would feel. Ape2 pun, I had to get through this. This is the normal emotion someone will feel when they wanted to do something for the first time. The feeling will wear off slowly on the 2nd and subsequent experiences. Tghari tu, kitaorg sempat lg lunch at Mines because ZT wanted to buy a new sport shoes and me sempat gak sambar one Crocks sandals. Hehehhe bole buat pakai for my trip to Penang. Kebetulan mmg tgh cr sandals. Then sebelah ptg sharp at 6pm, after changed to our sports attire, ZT and I went to the wellness room to check on the sound system and getting ready. Other SWG Grup, (Fiza, Nor and Kak Maz) were not joining us for some technical and personal issue... heheheh malasla nak eloborate masalah diaorg satu2 kan. Then sorang2 office member dtg, we took the attendance and started the aerobic class.

Reebok yg bakal di rasmikan sekejap lagi... belongs to ZT



Reebok Vs Power Vs Nike... (Adoi bughuk bebenor Nike itu, nampak sgt dah lama x cuci. Tp at least tu menunjukkan tuan punya kasut seorang yg aktif bersukan.. xde la simpan jer kasut smpai bersawangkan..hehehe)



Step touch, Single...single double..grape vine left right...mambo!!!! Jeritan2 tu la yg berkumandang dr dlm bilik wellness tu. Dlm pd mengajar steps tu, sempat gak berangan jd Linda Jasmine. Maybe after lots of classes (well I dun say few classes ok) body dh mantep mcm Linda baru leh nak jerit2 and berangan betul2 kan. Mostly member yg joined us on that day, sporting2 belaka. That what I wanted and the most important thing was the determination because klau dpt org yg hangat2 tahi ayam je nanti after few classes dh malas nak dtg and terus berkubur je balik program aerobic nie kan. I have to make sure all the members are committed with this program. Sbb tu semangat tu penting. Before we all dismissed, sempat gak amik photo, first class kan.. lgpun we planned to post it at our blog to attract more office member to participate in this program.

Anchor woman yg menggerakkan Aerobic Program 2010.. Kak Linda, Me and ZT



All sweats... some of the aerobic members. Ade yg dah balik time nie.



Well done girls!!!



Then, kami bukan balik terus, Zt and I headed back to office and continued our jobs sampailah pkul 9pm baru balik. Sangat berdedikasi ini olang... Im so relief, lega, syukur, suma la as what we had planned berjalan lancar dgn jayanya. Cant wait for next class... excited suda. Hahaahha. So sekian laporan saya buat kali ini. See ya in next post. SAILORMOON MAKE UP!!!

Dear Ladies,

Anyone yang berminat nak join dancing/excercise class dekat wellness room next year?..Kitorang plan nk activekan wellness room. So kita nk tgk respon dari u all wether ok atau tak..


When : Plan buat 2-3 times a week
What time? : 6.00pm - 7.30pm

Anyone yg rasa ok atau nak join sama-sama memeriahkan aktiviti ni boleh reply email. then kita ramai-ramai propose kat tukang jaga wellness room which is Abg Lan and Mazura (Planner).

CHEERS...


Linda
Corp Dev dept


***************************************************************************************************************************

Above was an email sent by my Kak Linda, our organizer for all the wellness activities at my office. I like her so much coz dialah yg selalu menggerakkan xtvt2 kat KNM nie. Kalau xde dia, mmg mandorm (ayat asrama dulu nie, dh lama x pakai) abis kitaorg.

So our first meeting attended by around 6 peoples. Well sape lg kalau bkn geng2 So Sweet grup jgk la. Its like a routine Kak Linda will propose and us (more likely ZT & me) who will carry the actions. Kira gandingan kami nie mmg mantaplah. Thats why Kak Linda always counting on us in matters that related to the sport and recreation nie.

Ok story about wellness nie, my office has one room called wellness room. Quite spacious and okla for the indoor games. The problem was, that room was unoccupied since our last practice for Cheerleading (what month was that, somewhere in Aug I think...) so imagined how long it had been empty. Dust, ashes everywhere and it had become a place to store the old files and boxes. We have to ask kakak cleaner to clean back the room and asked someone to remove all the boxes. Ok one thing settled. (Oh I forgot to tell you guys, mula2 we supposed to have meeting inside that room, but we did'nt found the key. Like I tell ya, it has been ages the room had been ignored sampai kunci pun x tau letak mana. So we just gathered and discussed inside normal meeting room. After few days br Pak Guard found the key).

2nd problemnya plak, we only have CD/VCD player+speaker without TV inside the room. So if we planned to play the aerobic video and just follow the steps obviously you know what we're lack off kan. TV xde!!!! Nak follow ape mcm tu... We can borrow notebook from IT dept but it just too small. Monitor setakat 14" mcm mana 10org nak tgk. Yes, our company xde la "kokak" sgt, we do have TV but to borrow and bring it to the wellness room, there is so much paperwork to do. And more there is no priority to use it just for our aerobic so we had to think other alternative. Some had suggested to "tong2" among us and buy TV cap ayam (cheaper one) then claim la kemudian. That was a good idea but risky, what if our claim rejected? Naye jer sedekah TV utk company. Last2 like I expected, Im the one who needed to act. They all had voted me to instruct the aerobic since Im familiar with the steps (wei aku tau menari caca merba je la..). Adoi, dah jd satu bebanan plak nak ajor2 org nie. But maybe because dh jadi azam aku tahun nie nak aktif, giat and kuruskan badan so ha amik ko!!! I just agreed (time tu x pikir lg dugaan2 yg mendatang, tau nak hepi2 jer) and more ZT will assist me and as my 2nd if I absent or cannot make it. Pikir2 balik, ade hikmahnya kitaorg rajin aerobic2 kat umah ZT at least we already have few steps in mind so takyah nak pening2 to create new steps lg. Ok now 2nd problem settled.

Finally, time. We all had agreed to have the classes every Tuesday and Thursday, meaning 2 times a week at 6pm for 1 hr. Ok la tu kan. Im so excited and so far there's no panic or nervous feelings came yet. Later ....?? Ha, dats you will need to read my entry on my first aerobic class episode. Will update ya later. Bagaimanakah perasan Sailormoon pada hari tersebut?? Gembira, rileks, kecut atau adakah Sailormoon terus tidak menghadirkan diri pada kelas pertamanya itu. Kita tunggu....

My Normal Activity


As per my previous entry, this time we watched Paranormal Activity at our favourite port, Alamanda Putrajaya. Our initial plan was actually to watch Ju-On sbb tgh in the mood nak layan cite seram, however on Thursday night tiba2 we all received SMS form Kak Maz who invited us to watch this movie after work on Friday. Discuss punya discuss we all pun agreed except Fizah who cant make it due to the personal problem. Nasib baik Kak Maz ajak, kalau x mmg sepatah haram pun x pernah dgr pasal this movie. Then I got a call from ZT and as expected, she invited me to sleep at her house (xtvt biasa lps tgk movie) so on the next day (Saturday) I can practice aerobic step... then straight to office for working over time.
(Huhuhu I forgot to update U all regarding the aerobic plan, so much to update and I'll make sure on the next entry ok)

Photo taken at 5.30pm, counting each seconds to go out from office



"Haiya Shmily dont disturb me la.. I want 2 go home already." Ini Amoi from sales dept slalu chase kitaorg nak suruh submit tender cepat...huhuhu



OK, back to the main story from office sharp at 6pm, Zt, Nor and me heading to Putrajaya and waited for Kak Linda who joining us to watch the movie at Bangi area. All of us (3cars) went to Zety house first and parked our car there, then using only one car (ZTs) we went to buy our dinner at Pasar Malam Putrajaya. It was raining so each of us had to carry our own umbrella and cepat2 bought our foods as our time were quite tight. Once finished, we went back to ZT house, eat and bersiap2. Our movie started at 9.15pm so around 9pm we already on da way to Alamanda and managed to make it on time. Sampai2 we met Kak Maz who already reached there earlier and terus to the cinema.

B4 movie started kitaorg pose dulu



About P.A nie, mula2 cite dia cam boring, mcm menyesal pn ade tgk but after 1/2hr br cite mulai panas... xpecially scene in the room when the couple was sleeping (most of the story taken using normal video cam which been placed in the master bedroom). We all started to scream like crazy (terutamanya bila ade si Nor ni kan, sudu jatuh atas lantai pn dia menjerit)... Yg klakarnya first2 yg start jerit bkn pompuan tp laki2 duduk depan time scene pintu tertutup sendiri. Wosh!!! Hahahahah.. Lps tu ape lg menjadi2 la kitaorg menjerit sampai ade yg tutup2 mata x sanggup tgk kezutan2 dlm movie ni.

These were among some photos taken after finished watching movie









The movie was scary indeed. After watching Paranormal Activity I noticed that the nightly sounds of my house were louder and creepier than before. Sesuai with it's tagline "Nightmares are guarantee", I still have problem to sleep in peace at night until now. I have to turn on the light coz all the "paranormal scenes" happened in that movie still hanging in my head. Really, I didn't encourage those who are afraid or weak-hearted persons to watch this movie. You will have the same feeling like me later.

To car park, kat map direction pun sempat amik gambo lagi



Malam masih muda, so as ussual jugak after movie mesti pekena dulu kerang bakar (Men"gerang") at Bangi. First time order coconut drink kat situ and OMG, it tasted so good!! Sejuk, manis, wangi suma bergabung menjadi satu. Kelapa pandan type rasanya. Awesome!!

With ZT @ Chaiyyo Bistro, Bangi



Antara juadah kami malam itu :

Kerang bakar yang hebat!!!!



Somtam yg lazat...



Ni la dia air kelapa yg dibanggakan tue



OK, everyone were successfully uploaded (with foods of course) then we went back to ZT's house and sleep. End of day one.........


Cite keesokkan harinya,

We woke up late (confession nie....), ye la mlm td pkul 2 lebey br tido, should I tell ya what we'd been doing to sleep that late. Well normal la if girls dah berkumpul, then gossip girls were back on the scene la.. Tuan rumah was so rajin to make us breakfast (well if you know ZT...I'd mention in my previous2 blog regarding how she treated her guesskan...) and plus lebih2an makanan yg dibeli at Pasar Malam last night menjadikan sarapan kami agak mewah pada pg itu.

Our breakfast



Till death do us part, :P



After a light breakfast, everybody were ready for the aerobic session. XTVT sihatla kononnya kan. Kak Linda who was 1st time joining the group ttp sporting beraerobic even dgn memakai baju kelawar jer... Tu baru semangat!! CD pasang so ape lagi bergegar la lantai dgn lonjakan anak2 gajah yg terlepas dr zoo nikan. Nasib baik xde jiran bawah yg komplen. Huhuhu........ Tepat 1 hr, we all took turn for bath and bersiap balik. Nor and me were straight to the office as I mentioned earlier, I needed to work OT. Banyak keje x settle lagi.

Diam x diam dalam pada kitaorg tgh sibuk2 bersiap, ZT dgn seberapa pantasnya telah prepared bihun sup for our lunch. Respect to you girl!! Sempat gak dia suruh aku gi grocery at G floor beli bihun and bawang goreng. Hasilnya, mmg sangat sedap and pass la. Here were the photos, maybe the presentation was not so good, but dont judge a book by its cover. Rasa mmg menjilat sudu!!





Habis makan, we went to office. ZT sempat lagi tapau bihun soup untuk Fizah yg telah kebuluran di opis kerana menunggu kami sejak pagi. Tu la sape suruh taknak ikut kan... Since we already came late, we signed out from office around 7pm. Its just only 2 of us left, so xtvt biasa habiskan kodakla... (bahasa dulu2). Layan je la my pics ni ok.

Welcome to KNM. At receptionist place



With Nor



Welcome to Estimation & Proposal Dept



At our department



Swiped out. Balik suda....



So that's all on my weekend xtvt this week. Enjoy reading and hope you all also had a great weekend. Utilized all the free times with a beneficial xtvt as we live only once, so appreciate it and use it the fullest. Adios!!

Maal Hijrah 1431H

Salam Maal Hijrah to all bloggers…

Wosshhh…….. diam x diam one year had passed and its time to ponder back what I’ve done for the past year, either all the goals had successfully achieved or not and to set back new aims and goals for this year. As for me, my goals are normally the same, simple and yet very hard to achieve it entirely. It’s not that it was impossible, but maybe I have to work very hard and really focus to make its all came true. Below are my normal goals that I never miss to set each year :

1) To become better Muslims, to make sure that whatever that I’ve done are in line with Islam’s practice
2) LOOSE WEIGHT 10kg!!! More is better for sure.. :D
3) Control my financial, started to spend for future
4) More pro-active in work. Get more order for company!!
5) I hope that I will met my “soul mate” and move on one step in my relationship

As U can see, I’ve list out that this year I hope to meet my Suitor or to make it more direct I wish that I will find a man that suits me, the best for me and fated to become my husband. I will be a great liar if I told you that marriage never came cross my mind and I never feel worry about it. I’m nearly 30 and living in Malaysia and Muslim, even how sophisticated you’re, being single is still a taboo. Been called “andartu” is like a curse and people will never let you peace until you get married. Everywhere you go, people will ask when you will get marry and they will start to make their own perception on you. Either you are to choosy, busy and too focused on work so you got no life and time to find a man or more worse you been labeled as “tak laku”… All this scenarios normally will bring pressure to these single women. They will become desperate to get marry not because their heart says so, but it because to shut up people mouth.

Alhamdullillah, despite all these perceptions, I still got a strength to just let it be.. don’t bother. Its not their mistake after all. Maybe they’re just concern. I always let a positive thought mingles around my mind to make myself become positive, I hate to think negative on people… It had help me much especially in my current circumstances. I got a lot of things & problems to handle and to think, so I don’t have enough time to add more thoughts in my mind about others people.

Like what I always wrote in my previous blog, we can only plan and the final result will be decide by the man above. I’m a strong believer of God. I put 100% on my fate to Him as I know he knew what the best for me. And it is part of “Rukun Iman” that we should trust on “Qada’ & Qadar” where what ever had been destined to us will be happened. That’s why I put marriage last on my list. As the first goal until the fifth one is something that I can plan and arrange. There is less “luck” involved. If I really working hard on it, I will get a good result. If not, then I will fail. However in term of marriage and “jodoh”, sometime even how hard we search for it, if there’s no luck yet, so that's it. That is why I did’nt want to stress on that so much because Im afraid if my time is’nt come yet, I will be down and de-motivated. Just continue my life as ussual and “jodoh’ will come if He says it’s time. Im ready to be in love again, and I hope this time will be real one and last until marriage. Ya-Allah, I wish that all my prayers will be granted and hope this 2010 will bring more happiness to me and my family. I pray for your endless bless and guidance. Amin Ya Rabbal Alamin.

Wet Dinner @ Lookout Point

It was Monday morning when I received SMS from Lina "Leen, Fiza, jom dinner tonite at Menara Tinjau"... I was so blurred & then asked Fizah "Weh menara tinjau tu kat Menara KL ke. Ye la sbb ade unsur2 menarakan.. Jgn buat psal, aku berbaju kurung jer today... ala2 "cik kam" gitu". Luckily Fizah told me it was at Hulu Langat (Bkt Ampang) so ok la. I never been there, just lalu tu biasa la because it is an alternative route for those who wanted to ulang alik Ampang-Kajang without paying the tolls and menempuh the traffic jam. This place also famous for its view since it is located up the hill so you can see the whole area of Klang Valley from there and more kalau ade bunga api (new year eve ke, national day ke..) this place mmg sgt2 happening sampai bole jam!

So right after maghrib, we started our journey from work. Lina already on the way since she's from KL. Fizah and I, drove our own car using the Saga Highway and exited at Batu 9 to Hulu langat until reached our meeting point at car park around 8.30pm. From there, after parked the car off course, We had to menapak naik tangga to the peak (mengah tue...) but at least all the exhaustion dissapeared when we reached the top. The scenary was breathtaking. Up there, there were lots of restaurant where you can dined and enjoyed the view. We however chose the most highest location of restaurant (Tower like) and sat at the top of it to enjoy the splendid panorama. Unfortunately suddenly the rain fell and everybody at our level ran down to the lower level of the restaurant. We on the other hand became so stubborn and greedy. We kept going menyedapkan hati sendiri that the rain would stop shortly. Furthermore, we already got the best place so we didn't want to miss it.

Luckily about few minutes, our prays were heard. There were only 3 of us left on that floor, in peace and rain was about to stop. So apalagi, my lense was ready in action and we enjoyed snapping photos like hell.... Imagined xde org yg menganggu so its like the restaurant was ours. Buat la pose macam mana pun. Then the food arrived just in time when we already finished the photoshoot and starved. We stopped just to eat and continued to pose again.

(KL view, beyond reach)



(Lights city)



(Fizah & me, Fizah dah buat muka toye pasal penat amik pose byk kali tp asyik gegar jer. Mmg Lina nie hampeh la amik gambo)



(Lina & Me)

(Ok la Mushroom Chicken Chop nie, so far bole habis. Hehehe)



(Dramatic mode la nie kononnya)



Frankly, the foods were not that good. There are plenty of foods elsewhere which much better, but it's the moment that I cherished. Time to spent with old friends, chatting, gossiping (harus...) coz its just so hard to find it nowadays. Everybody seems to have their own commitments so it 's really hard to re-unite us back together. Time really passed so fast, tau2 dh pkul 10pm and we had to make our move. Esok keje so we settled our bills and menapak turun balik to the carpark. We bid goodbye to each other and Fizah went down to the opposite direction since she headed to Ampang while Lina and I drove back to Kajang. Wow, I really enjoyed the moment so much and hope for more meeting like this in future...

Here are some photos taken on da way heading down to the carpark...
