Discover Selangor – the “hunter’s” way…

Again, for 2 Sundays in a row, I tortured myself by making me wake up at 6.30 – a.m! Today, I crawled outta bed asking myself, why did I bring this upon myself? Waking up at wee hours in the morning.. Oklah.. not really wee hours but it sure is early for my standard! He he…………….. hey even on work days I wake up at 8.30!!!

After having a quick breakie of instant waffles and maple syrup, we arrived at Dataran Kemerdekaan Shah Alam close to 8 am, forced to loosen up by doing some sort of senaman beramai-ramai (which was sooo governmenty event) “exercise”, endured some speech and at about half 8, we were flagged off. We began the task by counting the number of Selangor flags in a round-a-bout. Ha ha ha… it’s soo not the normal “brain-wrecking” sorta treasure hunt. The questions were really direct and “no-brainer” questions.

There was this one question, which read “Place where you can buy fish”. We saw 2 possible places with possible answers:
1. Chua Aquarium; and
2. Pasar Pelabuhan Kelang.
We were sooo thinking outside the box – like, is it.. place to buy dead fish OR place to buy healthy living fishies? Ha ha ha we even consulted a flipping coin’s advice which said not once but 3 times that it’s Chua Aquarium. Unfortunately, the event manager didn’t reveal the answers so we will never know which it was.

The hunt took us all the way to Pulau Indah and Bukit Melawati. Interesting places which I wanna go again to look for those infamous kelip-kelips. Oh, I also learnt that Star Cruises is own by tycoon Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong…

After 250km of “search and travel”, in which we completed within 4 hours, we were left to complete the last task which is to come up with a slogan for this group of people who will be going all over the world for some adventure. After much thought over very, very sweet limau ice at this kopitiam in Section 10, Shah Alam, we came up with “Atasi Cabaran Mencapai Wangsa Jati” <--- something like that lah. And………… with that we got this.. I think all the 8 top teams got 100% correct answers, but the slogans determined whether it’s RM5,000, RM2,500, RM1,500 or hampers with food stuffs.

So, RM1,500 bahagi 4 - we sorta break-even lah, i.e. balik modal la, since last week we only managed to win some kao biore facial cleansers, water tumblers and torch lights.. Last week was MENSA’s Hunt in which we got 16th placing (though Len might attest to that… he he he oklah Len, we got 18th he hehehe… 16th, 17th and 18th place had a tie) outta 39 teams. That hunt left my brain – brainless.. !!! Gile susah ok the questions!

Am so glad we won (though only managed to secure 2nd runner up, it’s still something) this Selangor one… Well done Betul La Kot team-mates, Tokkie, Yates and Mars ;-))).

So when’s next hunt? January, 15?? Count me in… ;-)))

C.I.N.T.A

I was in tears when I watched CINTA (and thank God went to watch with a bunch of girlfriends, if pegi with date, ayoo shy!) and even by listening to the soundtrack can make me cry buckets. Yesterday, sherie posted an entry on CINTA and that also made me shed few drops of tears AND I ask myself, why is that so? Was the movie THAT good?

After much thought, I have come to a conclusion that it’s not really the movie but it's the characters and the story that somehow relate to my own life.. I must admit that my life is blessed.. to a certain extent. However, it’s not entirely smooth sailing..

Boy and Girl Romance - I have gone through a fair share of bad break-ups, which have left me scarred bad. And for that reason, I have been guarding my heart and not let anybody in. I know for a fact that there is this one kindhearted guy who I know loves me very much, but I somehow cannot accept him. He’s told me before that he knows he cant have me, but he will still love me even if I’m with someone else – it’s so like that scene when Rita Rudaini was going through the drawings huh? - What is wrong with me? Why is life not perfect? Boy falls a girl, girl falls for the boy and they get married and live happily ever after? Do I really want to be alone for the rest of my life and be that horrid woman who lives with her cats?

Siblings – sigh.. that is another story which I shall not go into. I’m crying bucket now thinking about it. Will my brothers and sister still care for me even when mom and pop have passed on? Like Nanu cared for her lil brother? They all have their own family now, why would they bother with this annoying lil sister? Will we still see each other, have gatherings? I just "gaduh" with my brother in law and I'm soooooo upset now. “Air dicincang tak akan putus”? Hmm….

Grandad with Alzheimer – How will I take it if Papa is ill? His doctors have found cancer markings (or whachamacallit) in his blood, but tests after tests have been conducted. They still don’t know where the cancer is. Will I be strong? Or am I gonna break down and cry like now? Can I take care of him? I am soo not gonna send him off to a nursing home! God nooo!

Ergh! I neeeeeeeed tissue!!!! Where is the blardy tissue when I need one????

Grrr Day But It Turned Out Alright ;-)

I dont update this blog often, not on daily basis, nor on weekly basis, and when I did update it yesterday....... the entry went haywire (heheheh like that psycho dude in Prison Break eh? heheheh). Grrrrrrrr........... ;-( Now I gotta post it again... So anyways, yesterday I posted something like this : Annual Dinner '06.

We had the dinner last Friday, at KL Hilton, the food was so-so but the entertainment was fantastic! And almost everyone dressed up to the theme, "RETRO". Note the dudes with the big-hair do? Also the dudes with groovy outfits?? Really cool guys.. ;-)






Also, Banana and Noobita made this fantastic medallion! Thanks you ladies. And I just found out that Banana will be leaving for the US of A soon... sniff... Am gonna keep the medallion as a token of friendship... sniff.... and this is gonna be the last annual dinner with you around... boo hoo hooooo.... ;'-(
