a good day indeed..

The fishing trip was a bundle of fun. As ever there was a few candid incidents that made us laugh til we felt like peeing hahahhahaha. Sadly I havent managed to take fotos of the feast we had on the trip.. but immagine Man Vs Food portions hahaha ;p

As for the fishes.... I'll let the picture do the talking for me :)

Owh yes.. it was a good day indeed...

P/s- I didnt catch a single one!! hahahaha but felt a greater sense of excitement and fun seeing dad and the brothers smile with that all happy ear to ear brim of a smile with the look-what-I-caught look on their faces ;) *dalam hati gerigitan plang tu nda tertangkap ikan atu* hahah

fishing trip

a fishing we will go~ a fishing will go we~ somehow I'm fueled, ready to go for this fishing trip only cos the last trip of the first two I didnt catch anything and the brother has been gloating on his big catch..

Not so big on fishing but I thoroughly enjoy it once I'm given the rod and bait :) I love the rush that comes with the tug on the line and there's a bite. Plus spending that quality time with the family is just something so priceless... especially now with everyone busy with their own thing.. Call me lame.. but I think I have the best times when I'm with my family

marathon?

do you get the feel when u excercise, you become addicted and you just couldn't help but want to go do all that physical exertion and make yourself soak in sweat.. its all that endorphin I think.. its like a drug.. but a healthy one, cos its the body that produces it.. and its suppose to make you happy.. and it does, everytime I finish the usual sweat-session, apart from the panting and squeal of agony during the excercise, I'd be humming and singing and on the whole being merry and happy :)

caya si mas n me went jogging twice on friday.. morning and late afternoon!! hahahah hebat ketagihan kami atu

the price I paid for my enthusiasm... my pantleg ripped open.. mas and I joked that I was looking very funk ghetto hahahah whatever that means... hobo maybe? errmmm hahaha


at the end of the jog.. menyaman-nyamankan hati minum air kelapa ouuuhhh so nice and refreshing~

family picnic

we had a family outing.. mom wanted to go picniking, she even cut the fruits fresh on the site... the rockmelons was a hit and were gone within minutes, a very hot day so anything that was refreshing was in demand ;) the grapefruit a little sour but quite a delight to have on a hot day.

the brothers having a whale of a time on the hammock, it would've been perfect... however the litter was an eyesore... it's so disappointing and heartbreaking even to see our beautiful beach reduced to a dump site by irresponsible persons... something should be done... soon.. memalukan bila datang tourists meliat... we tried our best to pick up what we can semasa kami packing to go home.. but there was so much.. sooooo so much :(

picnic wouldn't be complete without a bbq...
the youngest brother, a culinary enthusiast, marinated the chicken with all sorts of spices and it looked more than appetizing~ nyaaaaamaaaaannn!

Sunday morning

the perpetrator who'd given me a ring at 6.30 am on a SUNDAY!!

I am just not much of a morning person... I need my sunday for longer sleep.. like waking up almost midday hahahahah

dragged kicking and screaming to jog on a SUNDAY MORNING!!!! the view helped... I was barely awake panting and sweating hiking up the hills..
I was so amazed at this.. first time ever I saw a genuine.. what we call titian, I only hear about it in books, poems and songs hahaha but to see it there is just so... wow to me. Mas couldn't figure out why I had to stop and take a picture, but I just had to, they might replace it with those modern construct of a "bridge" and I'd regret not marking this memory permanently in softcopy hahhaha
lalah-lalah pun sempat jua bergambar.. titik2 paluh macam orang lari marathon saja.. all in all it was fun and I guess I wouldn't mind doing it all over again... maybe.. if I absolutely must... drag myself out of bed so early on SUNDAY MORNING!

office retreat

my trip up to belalong was an experience... walaupun not the first time... every trip is unique and new things learned... exhausting... exhilerating jua, bitter..... yet sweet jua, creepy... tapi a sight to behold. Our accomodation was none too shabby, they have made such an improvement to the place and everything was breathtaking. I could immagine coming back for more of the experience.
sitting area at the reception was more than welcoming...

it wasn't all just work we had time to hike up to the canopy.. the trail that leads to it was a bit of a challange... ada jua masanya ku literally terlimpang kebelakang cos some part didnt have a proper pathway and it rained the night before, making everything muddy and slippery...

eh.. baru ku notice... kalau dua tiga kali pandang seram jua gambar ani... errrmmm...

once sampai ke atas sekali waahhhhh what a sight.... Allahuakhbar... Allah maha besar... pencipta segala yang indah... exitement mixed with fear... cold sweat.... apa inda takut kan heights but beranikan diri naik the canopy... jalan pun mesti grabbing hold on to the rails.. nda lapas-lapas.
biasalah kalau ke hutan ni ada saja lah cerita yang seramm.... ada terdengar suara mengilai... ada dengar bunyi ayam clucking... ada danger bunyi dengusan... ada lagi yang nampak begnya bergerak.. tapi syukur jua I didnt get to experience anything out of the ordinary...

the view of the sun setting on our way back to bandar was beyond words...

immagine this... there's only ONE cafe in kb that you cud hang out in... they've got nice food.. but considering the multitude of choices you have at your exposure in bandar.... well... you get the picture. Aside all that, life seemed more relaxed in kb than it is in bandar... and it almost seems that you are in a different time zone altogether.. I guess it would be a very nice place to live in if you are into quiet life :)
