Adventure

One day, I went to adventure with a group of active adventurer. 

We kept on walking..walking and walking non stop just to search for the 'gold' that we want. We never care the dusty & dirtiness, we also didn't care how sweaty were us but we just heading to our target.

The hill was so high and the path was not easy to walk, yet we tried our best to climb up the top of the hill.
Finally, we able to make it.
Haha.. ok, I know it is damn lame. Well, it was not any adventurous activity. Instead, I was working that time, doing some inspection on this little thing before it took back to our company. So, what was this little thing?

Let's take a close shot.
Can see clearly? I guess no.. haha.. this is the closest photo that I got. Let me reveal the answer...... Ta ta~~~
They were wheat~~ Yes, you didn't 'hear wrongly, they were wheat.

Actually we don't really need to climb up the 'hill' but I think this was a good experience where I guess most of you out there have not been walking in wheat right??? You guys might think that 'What the hell this girl doing by walking in wheat but still so happy?'

Haha.. We just have life once, so why not try out everything? The feeling of sitting on wheat was very unique where you can felt the wheat was damn cold. hhehe.

If you ever have the chance, try it out.

Pulau Jerejak

Few years ago, this island was just an island whereby no people will pay attention to it. The island was allegedly used to quarantine the sick people previously and now it has been developed into an tourist attraction. After few years of staying in Penang, finally,I got the chance to go to this little island to explore. So,where is the little island that I mentioned? Penang people, I guess most of you are brilliant and able to guess which place I had gone.  Ta...ta....~ there was none other than Pulau Jerejak~~~

This little island has been equipped with some adventurous facilities and activities. More and more people getting to know about it and  this is definitely a nice place to go for one day trip. If you plan to go to this island, no preparation is needed, what you need was just MONEY and have fun there. Anyhow, the trip was not expesive, it just cost us total RM60.

We took a boat at jetty near Queen's Bay Mall to Pulau Jerejak and the time taken to reach was just around 10 minutes (I think).

When we reached there, it took some times for the guide to bring us for the first activity. Ya, there was guide available. We found this during waiting.


Therefore, instead of standing still to wait, we went back to our childhood time by pretending we were still young.

We killed the time by doing some warm up as well.


The first activity was the most exhausting activity -> jungle trekking! The jungle trekking took us more than 30 minutes (I forget to time) to complete the whole journey.
The way to jungle trekking. No photo during jungle tracking because energy was used up and I can't afford to lift up the camera anymore...

The moment you saw the suspension bridge, you may felt relieved because that indicated the end of the jungle trekking.

This cute little suspension bridge was just able to withstand 5 people weight. It was just 8m above the lake and it was suit for beginner to walk by.

After this, it was time for the highlight of the trip! The Flying Fox~~  I had waited this for a long long time as I had not experienced this before~ My heart was jumping up and down while waiting for my turn.

But, it was so fun when you were playing~ I felt that I was flying~~~ The lacking part was the distance was too short and when you started to conquer you fear, you had reached the other end of the game.  Furthermore, you were allowed to play 1 time only with the fees that you paid. Ahh... too bad!!! I want play it again!!!

Archery was the next schedule after flying fox. During our way to the archery field, we found this.


All of us syok sendiri  and played the game ourselves. My friend said those games were available in National service as well. How nice is the National service. Well, I am too old and my generation got no national service yet.

Next, the archery part.

1 person was given only 3 arrows to play.

I tried to act pro when my turn to shoot.

See, this was my result.Not bad le..

After that, the other tiring part came,the wall climbing. This was a very tough game and this was my first time to try on it.

Sadly, I can't complete the game and I just gave up half way. Sob sob. After so much tiring activities, how could I reach the top part??? Obviously it was the organiser's trick to fail us in the game. :P

Finally, the bicycle cycling did the closing for our activities package. It had been a long long time since the last time I rode.

Of course, a simple buffet lunch was served before the end of our journey.

There are others game available.
This is free~
The beach futsal.


Beach netball??


Swimming Pool (FOC)~

And table tennis, paintball, abseiling.

It will be best if there is  pub available at the beach side whereby beach party can be held, agree?

Butterfly Farm


Penang Butterfly Farm~ Have you been there? Some of you might say, "Ya.. when I was 5 years old". The other might say "hmm, not really interested to go this place."

If you do not really hate animals/ insect/ butterfly, this definitely a good place to go.

Since it is a butterfly farm, of course there are a lot of butterfly in it.

Big Moth.

Somemore different species of live worms are displayed (butterfly's son, sorry I do not know what it should be called) with the clear sign board about their name and habitat.

Bigger worm~

Different insect.
Leave- like insect.

See clearly for this. I had searched it for a long time.
stick- like insect.

I like this one~ like a human face. The nature creatures are so unique.

Ok.. a normal scorpion


That's the butterfly farm. Simple and nice.

Doctor doctor...

Recently, one of my friend was admitted to hospital due to appendicitis. I paid him a visit on last Sunday and his situation was just worse than what I imagine. Appendicitis? It should be involved a simple operation and I guess my friend should be alright very soon after the operation.



Out of my surprise, he looked terribly weak in hospital. He even did not have much energy to talk, he slim down a lot, and he lost his appetite to eat. What I want to tell here not how weak was him but the incident happened to him.

Before he admitted to hospital, he suffered stomachache and he consult a doctor. This doctor concluded his case as 'food poisoning' and that was the end of the story by giving some medicine to him. Anyhow, the medicine did not work for his situation and he looked for second doctor. Unfortunately, the second doctor just scolded him for taking improper food due to he had a sensitive stomach. Again, that was the end of the story. This incident continued until the forth day, he was in anguish and he cannot even stand up. Then, he was admitted to hospital.

After the doctor checked, he found out he was actually having appendicitis. The delay finding was causing his appendix to burst and worsen the whole situation. That was how he ended up with serious case. He needed more time to clear off the 'things' that burst out from his stomach and he needed more time to recover.



I found that it was rather ridiculous because food poisoning and appendicitis should consists of different sign and even gastric also consists of another sign. This was not the first case happened to my friend but lot of cases happened whereby doctor give the wrong information to patient. I don't know what happen to the doctor now and they can just simply concluded the sickness with an irrelevant case. Perhaps some of them do not actually know the consequences of their wrong information. This will bring a serious result and it may even cause fatal to a patient.

Doctor, please provide a good and details check up for all the patient and please do not be a doctor just because of $$. Life is valuable.

Bali Trip Part III

Finally, the Part III and also the last episode of Bali Trip published. 

Day 3 of our trip, we went to the very famous temple- Tanah Lot temple. The view there of course was very nice where this place was located beside a sea.







This temple was amazing whereby one of the place for praying was located in the sea. Ya! In the sea. I insisted to go over there to have a look on what was inside the 'cave' even though I knew that I'll get wet by crossing over the sea. 


When you reached the other side, they will put a flower beside your ear and some sticky rice on your forehead as the sign of bless. 



I think photo always better describe than words.

There was a market nearby and a big bat available there to attract tourist. 
After I took the photo, I heard a tour guide passed by and told his member that photo taken for the bat was not allowed without paying. Hmm.. photo was taken, so I just post it up. :P

During our way to another destination, we passed by padi field. It was just too nice and we stopped our car just to have a close peek on the padi and snapped some photos with them.





I went for my first time water rafting. This rafting was a low risk rafting whereby it was suitable for a beginner and it was suitable for side seeing purpose. It took almost 2 hours plus to complete the whole trip and most of the time we were enjoying the view along the river.


After our dinner, we went to a beach nearby (if i'm not mistaken, it was Kuta beach) and enjoy the sunset view there.


Basically that was how our 3 days trip. Bali is a nice and budget place to go. I'll try to post up a blog about the food later.
