31.8.12-1.9.12

Overslept early in the morning

due to the very exhausting night ystd

shin dhee(SD), benazir(B), niroshah(N) and shin ling(SL) waited for me nearly an hour 

outside my house, luckily i already packed everything the day before

so i rushed everything and we started our journey to Johor one hour late

In the car ride over to Johor, SD teased me all the way

because i was the one who told them i wont be late and etc

but everyone else have to wait for me

anyway, the car ride there was smooth,

there was hardly any traffic to stop our way

we actually reached Johor on time

thanks to SD superb driving experience

In johor, we actually took a bus into singapore 

but the search for the correct bus took us some time 

but eventually we found the bus near a place full of cat and dogs faeces

and after a few minute, we touched down on singapore soil and began our journey

It began with a boring long ride to the city by train, which is very EFFICIENT

mind you, after being stuck with KTMB for such a long time

the EFFICIENT train of Singapore is like a dream come true

as this round we are actually travelling light and compact

most of the time we travelled are actually on foot and train

Checked into our lodgings which is a backpacker lodge,

told ya we are travelling light and compact,

we cant affort the usual hotel charges.

Right after we settle down and get refreshed,

straight away we went to our next location

HARRY POTTER EXHIBITION

As a not so massive harry potter fan, i was pretty excited about the exhibition

the exhibition is actually showing of the actual props and custumes used

in the actual production of Harry Potter, everything from

the wand that was actually used, to the magical creatures 

and some extra facts which are not shown in the book itself

it was a magical walk and the souvenier was EXPENSIVE

thank god we saved our money for THAT

bought a HP shirt and Chocolate frog( p/s i got prof Mcgonagall card)

after that is was all leisure time and walking around singapore

Day two, we rushed everything as fast as we could and got back to Johor by noon

and off we go to Melaka for an awesome food festival

the entire time we were there, it was just walk walk and eat eat

non stop moving our hands and legs and mouth

we even bumped into Justin there

and we scared the hell out of SD. which was such a fun sight to enjoy

still remember her reaction. WOOTS. FUN FUN FUN.

spend the night walking around jonker at night and lepak here and there

after that it was a smooth ride home. :D

This trip was short and rushing

but we had fun

it was our first trip with benazir,

she was damn excited and

we will look forward to more trips together

join us maybe, if you are interested. :)

i am so behind schedule for this. 

30.8.2012

woke up early to complete everything
that wasn't completed the day before
it was a race against time
but luckily i manage to complete everything
way earlier than i expected
even have time to do some finishing touches
to the booklet and the casing
after completing the booklet
i prepared everything i need for the night
checking google map so to make sure i don't get lost
she was still working that day, her last day of work
she would really miss all the kids at work
actually wanted to pick her up from work
but due to the jam, ended up waiting for her in front of her house
but when i arrive she still haven't reach home
was quite nervous when i reach her house
as there is one part of the booklet that is still incomplete
which require her parent's help
but i don't want her to see it as it was a surprise gift
so getting the booklet into her house without her noticing was quite difficult
she came back soon after i reach her house
and i waited in the living room while she was preparing herself
manage to get her parents to help me do the finishing touches
which is just a simple message from her parents to her
but i think the message will meant a lot to her
as her parents really spend quite some effort to complete it
but she accidentally got a peek of the booklet while her parents was busy
thinking what to write, but it was just a small peek
spent quite a long time at her home as she need to take care of some minor stuff
paperwork to be prepared before she departs to penang for her studies
after everything was done, brought her to collect her handphone
which was sent in to the "hospital" for treatment as it was "sick"
she was very happy to get her phone back
as she is quite lonely without her own phone
not being able to stay in touch with her friends

after that it was all the way to our dinner location
it was a place full of memory for me
as i once celebrated my birthday over there with my friends
it was a long drive as it's still a foreign place to me
but we manage to get there safely
she recognised one of the place by the picture i took
previously when i was there with them
ate at chilli's for dinner
the food was not as good as the previous one i had
her choice of food was not so nice, mine was only so so
but the drinks was awesome. best milk shake ever.
after dinner, went to have a walk around the mall
took two polaroid pictures, one for her and one for me
thanks to shin dhee for the camera, i really appreciate it
after that went a little sight seeing at klang
where i handed her the booklet and she flipped it
from cover to cover for the very first time
and she really liked the booklet
i was really satisfied when she smile so happily
while flipping the booklet
looking through the content of the booklet
and telling me what she think about the booklet
but she expression when she was looking at the booklet
PRICELESS
but all good things do have to come to an end
sent her home after everything
and ended the long day at 1 am in the morning of 31.08.2012

despite all the happy things that happened
she was having her gastric pain throughout the whole day
i really appreciate her enduring the pain throughout the whole time out
it was really painful as it was clearly reflected in the facial expression
she could have demanded to go home but she did not
felt really bad when i heard her coughing and gagging from outside the toilet
thank you. thank you for the memory. thank you for the gift from australia.
thank you for everything up until now.

Thank You.

nike run

it was nike run yesterday

attended it with my friends

i had barely enough training for the run

which i find its very difficult to complete the run

nike run is help in kl this year

with the theme werunkl2012

the starting point was at jalan ampang

and the ending point was at padang merbok

the entire 10km route was ran at highway

which made us passed by a toll

the toll employees was cheering us on the entire way 

when we pass by the toll booth

the run was quite difficult as it involve a lot of uphill slope

and the slope is quite steep

and it command a lot of energy to conquer it

the nike run was quite successful

as it manage to gather 15 thousand runner

this year, other than the normal running vest,

there is also a finisher vest.

once you completed the run, you can collect the vest

and the ending point of the run

despite the sudden change of ending venue

from stadium to padang

the run went on smoothly

after the run

there is performance by many local artiste

such as miss nina, jj and ean and dance crews

it was quite happening

and many enjoyed the concert despite being tired and exhausted

from completing the run

the only downside of the run

which is the main complaint

is that the field was muddy from the long rain before the run

and the finishing line being in the middle of the field

cause the entire field to become a mud fest

with shoes getting stuck in the mud and making a HUGE mess of the shoe

some runner wore their new nike shoe and have no choice

but to sacrifice it and walk into the mud

as the finishing line and the finisher vest collection counter

is in the middle of the field

another complaint is that the shuttle bus 

despite being stated as 10 minute wait

did not arrive after a 20 minute wait

decided to catch a cab but after a long attempt

which we failed to hail a cab,

we decided to walk to the nearest lrt station which is

1.5km away from the place we are

after a long walk and arriving at klcc

which is where we park our car,

we met up with my friends and had dinner

before leaving for home,

stopped by the klcc park water fountain performance

it was beautiful and stunning

and off we go back home after finishing the show

how i did for the run

i manage to complete the run within the allocated time

i manage to obtain the finisher vest

however i did not go to the performance as i was having the cramps

on both my leg after the exhausting run

i do however enjoyed the run

outcome of the run the next day

i have lead pipes as my leg

my whole body aches but it felt great

and i think i hate stairs for today

-Jason-

accomplished a new achievement in life. :)
