My dad is quite a hardcore hiking sorta guy. He goes M’sia almost every month to climb dunno what this and that. He’s climbed Mt. Tahan (2,187m, zzz) for 7 times already and is still not sick of it. Sigh. I’ll never understand.

How he has a daughter as nua as me is a complete mystery.

Anyway, he has recently developed the habit of trying to drag me along to his hiking trips. He has tried the,

“Come lah. Come lah. Come lah come lah come lah.”

When that failed, he went for another strategy.

“Daddy is very old already. What if I faint on the mountain? Who will take care of me? My bags are so heavy.” *sad face*

I was unmoved. So ar, the tricky man my darling daddy tried this.

“This mountain is very easy one. See, even the website says so! The path is like Bt. Timah only! No, don’t have those type of muddy paths where you need a rope to climb up one. Just walk only. 1 hour reach the top already!” *hopeful face*

And I got taken in!!! -_-” But I managed to drag the boyfriend down with me wahahahaha. Just kidding lah. Thank you darling for going with me! <3 We went with my mum, and some relatives and their friends. Total party of eh, 12 I think.

Woke up at 5 to make breakfast for everyone (because someone told me, “5:30 too late already lah!”), but no one was awake. Dots.

On the way there. Stuck on the causeway for 1 hour plus.

I was that bored.

So when we were about 30 minutes from reaching, I asked my Dad, “You say 1 hour reach the top right?” And that was when A HUGE WARNING SIGN started flashing. He went,

“Erm, maybe 2 lor.”

… roar.

“Or erm, 3?”

Bahhhh!!

Well, we reached Gunung Lambak and this was the start of the path.

At least he didn’t bluff me about the part that the path was like Bt. Timah’s… or so I thought. The cement paved floors started slowing disappearing…

… and then the path became the mud and leaves and twigs sort of path. The steep type, not the gentle incline shown in the above photo. When I asked my daddy dearest, he went,

Yah lor! Like Bt. Timah what! The inside paths lor. Hehe.

… Not exactly what I thought. Anyway, we managed to reach the first check point a while later.

I didn’t even know that the boyfriend took the pic on the right. Both these men are so sneaky it’s scary.

Then ar. I saw this.

I know I look very happy in the photos. Reality was au contraire.

Flashback to the part where my dad was convincing me to come climb, with special attention to the “No, don’t have those type of muddy paths where you need a rope to climb up one.” part. Ahem. Then what is this supposed to be?!?!?! Guess what his explanation was?

You lousy what. Look at me, I never use any ropes… I just walk… ^.^

Sometimes I really am rendered speechless. >.<”

We managed to reach the top through erm, sheer will! Ok lah, it actually wasn’t that hard. It was only difficult in the beginning cos I got a stomachache from the weird nasi lemak I had for breakfast, but it became much better after my aunt’s life-saving Panadol.

Remember folks, always bring Panadol.

View from the top.

My dad took out the watermelon he brought along. I repeat, he took out the watermelon he brought along. Wahahahah roflwtfbbq. See what I mean about the rendered speechless part???

Everyone chilled out with the watermelon. Almost botak man in foreground is the abovementioned hilarious watermelon-bringer.

And finally, I saw something I’ve been waiting for.

The path down!!!!

Stuff along the way.

Some sort of lizard camouflaging itself among twigs, and cute mushrooms.

The bathroom there was a monstrosity. The boyfriend claims I’m spoilt, but he didn’t witness the horrors of the female toilet firsthand.

There were termite nests, plastic bags, water bottles, random pieces of old clothing, chunks of hair, and even leftover food scattered everywhere okay. And the ceiling was full of cobwebs that were dangling a little too precariously.

The pool next to the shower.

My parents and an uncle wanted to go see fishes after the climb, so we parted ways with everyone else after lunch.

There was a fabulous koi pond with a beautiful fountain there, but the moment I said “So nice! Take photo!”, my camera died.

The end.

I was reading uglyfatchick’s post on this, and I got bloody amused. Decided to fill the stuff out purely for self-amusement purposes. (Being an only child is welly lonely. Need to entertain myself because no one else entertains me.) Obviously not going to apply for the real thing. I’m way too shy. *shy blush*

So.

1. Why do you want to be my BFF?
Because there are no accidents, according to Master Oogway of Kungfu Panda. We are both Wendys. She is Xiaxue… my chinese name is Xueshan. We both have dogs. WHAT ARE THE ODDS YOU TELL ME?

2. If my boyfriend Mike hits on you behind my back, what would you do?
Er, hit on you behind his back?

3. We’re heading out to the party of the year. I look god awful in my new dress but somehow I think it rocks. What would you do?
Accidentally rip it.

Numbers cannot do our beauty justice. *coughs violently*

Goh Chok Tong is very handsome. (Really.)

Non.

11. What are your thoughts on the following people:
a. Angelina Jolie: I like her hair.
b. Paris Hilton: I like her clothes.
c. Dawn Yang (the blogger): Sometimes I get scared when I look at her photos for too long. The eyes! They stare right at you.
d. Mas Selamat (the fugitive): Shave moustache look nicer.
e. SPGs in general: They wouldn’t be so disgusting if they weren’t so disgusting. Eh, I think my sentence just imploded.

12. Where is Mas Selamat?
LKY (I think) said that he might’ve been in the jungle living on berries. I do hope it’s true, because that would be way hilarious.

Eh wanna know something interesting? Master Oogway also says that “one often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it”. Master Oogway says quite hip stuff ah. Anyway, food for thought! Hur hur.

…It’s 10:25 pm!!!! Nooo. My resolution to sleep at 10! Shucks. Again. Crap.

P/s: If you seriously want to be Xiaxue’s New BFF, here’s the link.

Dear Table,

Ever since my birthday last year, you have been neglected like an antique that’s been in a store for too long. Every speck of dust that landed on you never had the chance to leave. With each passing day, more stuff piled on you until I couldn’t see your lovely face anymore.

You became dark and miserable.

I attempted to make you feel better many times, but I always managed to get distracted by the Evil Black Being resting on you.

Picture of Evil Black Being below.

It would play some hypnotising anime (by itself! I swear!), and draw me to it like a moth to flames. You have to understand; I had no choice!

Today, I overcame all obstacles. I struggled with the Evil Black Being like there was no tomorrow! I scaled the highest mountain (of procrastination) just for you. <3

It’s nice to see your face shining with joy again.

It’s been a long time, Table (top). Don’t ever leave me again!

Many muacks,

Wendy

Went for supper at Al Ameen at Bt. Timah yesterday. Heh heh, I know I’m supposed to sleep at 10, butbutbut! I slept in the evening earlier to make up for it. Can or not ah. Hahahah.

Anyway, I always knew about Milo Dinosaur… you know, milo with the powdered milo as topping. But did you know about its brothers, Milo King Kong and Milo Godzilla? (The names themselves are keeping me in stitches.)

Apparently, Milo King Kong is milo topped with ice cream, and Milo Godzilla is topped with ice cream and powdered milo! *gaspshockhorror!* It’s disgustingly fascinating! Wahahaha! Milo with ice cream… *tries to imagine but fails*

Decided to test the sepia function of my phone’s camera. Have to take photos with my phone for now… while my poor lappie is being repaired by (wols) Acer. Cos my desktop has no memory card slot. -_-”

The boyfriend decided that he was feeling rich yesterday, and treated me to stingray!! <3 <3

I didn’t expect it to be so nice!

It may look like a normal stingray on a normal leaf, but never judge a stingray by its… er, leaf!!!!! Okay? This stingray is speshial.

It’s cooked with the leaf, instead of the usual fare where they cook the stingray and then put it on the leaf. The taste of the stingray with leaf is sooooo good I tell you!

I know it sounds dodgy when I say that leaves taste good, but I’m really not a closet antelope/gazelle/panda/other leaf eater. I have no idea what leaf it is, but it’s the same type as the type used to wrap chicken…… aiya I’m not helping, am I?

Yes, I’m officially gushing!

We also had sardine murtabak.

Compared to the imba stingray, this 相形见绌s! My chinese is zai, okay? It means “pales in comparison”, for the less zai people. HAHA.

Supper is always gud. *burps contentedly*

Never argue with idiots, they just drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
