Kelip kelip mata saja......sudah 1 year past. So fast gonna say bye bye to 2007 liao and welcome 2008. Also din realize I started this blog for more than a year d.....Well, its that time of the year again....to reflect on what happen in 2007 and what to expect in 2008.
In 2007:
Relationship:
Still goin strong with my "sayang"....in fact getting stronger. During middle of 2007....many people predict I will be getting married soon....judging from my relationship with my sayang. However soon the prediction slowly ease off.....guess they are bz predicting when is the next general election pulak or how much petrol gonna naik harga.
Family:
Sis move out of the house somewhere in Sept....so I end up renting the whole house. Since then...few additional family members have been added to the house. Beckz shift in since goin to work from my house is cheaper n nearer for her.
Then I got 3 kids to add to the family. They are namely Hammie, Sappy and Baby. Go them when they were just babies....now grown more than twice their original size d n still growing. The home feel more lifely with my kids ard.
Work:
Start work in end Jan after my long long 7 months break. Overall it feels good to start working again.....was feeling quite lethargic after such a long break.
There are ups n downs during work...which is normal lah. Overall quite happy becoz I am doin what I like to do.
Lastly....starting tomorow I am again on my breaks again...hehehehe. Basically I was hired as a contractor...and my contract ends today...ngam ngam on new year eve.
Climb mountain:
Nothing much on this area.....still doin few mountains a year. Successfully lead 16 climbers to Gunung Tahan in May.....think I qualify become guide d.....coz that is what the guides told me...hehehehe.
Scuba diving:
Still doin my divemaster course. Really need a lot of commitment doin it part time. Many times the classes clashes with work commitment....n juggling the time is just so so difficult.
Hmmm....I think that is all I can think of now. Rushing to post this posting before it turns 2008......got few more minutes saja.
To anyone reading this.....wish u HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 :)

Shopping @ DD
Was at Diver's Den (aka DD) last weekend with Apple and Chuan. Basically they are there to get a set of regulators and BCD each, while I am there to kam ching kam ching ard and also to change my regulator 2nd stage hose to the swivel type.
I bawa my reg everything there....then baru been inform that they are out of stock for the swivel hose...aiyah. Have to wait for the to order from stokies and they will call me when they got the stock.
So I sit at the counter n look ard...chatting with the "si tao poh" while Apple n Chuan chooses their BCD n regs. Then I spotted "it"....something I wanted to get for quite some time liao. Its the last unit...n the "si tao poh" say cincai lah...cheap cheap sell to me.
Well...what did I beli...hehehe...see below:
PADI RDP Wheel....aka The Wheel
All in a package (from left)...The Wheel, instruction manual (damm thick) n a quick reference card....keyboard not inclusive :P

Rock Climb in Damai
Its been quite sometime since I last went outdoor to rock climb....hence when Richard invited me to join the Shell Sport Club for a climbing session in Damai, Batu Caves...I accept it without hessitation.
A little info bout rock climbing as below...excerp from wiki:
Rock climbing, broadly speaking, is the act of ascending steep rock formations. Normally, climbers use gear and safety equipment specifically designed for the purpose. Strength, endurance, and mental control, as well as agility and balance, are required to cope with tough, dangerous physical challenges, and knowledge of climbing techniques and the use of essential pieces of gear and equipment are crucial.
Basically its a form of climbing....whether its ourdoor at natural rock wall or indoor in artificial rock walls. Both offers different level of challenges, uniquesness and FUN.
After a light meal of McD Big Breakfast at McD BU (after picking Apple)...we are off to the rock wall in Damai. When we reached there...Richard n the geng already climbing some routes set by him and Wai Meng.
Orang sudah ramai there.....mostly Shell orang.
Melissa trying her skills in climbing. Females usually make better climber than males.
Wai Meng (aka The Flower) belaying and keeping a close eye on Melissa.
Apple choosing her harness n getting ready to climb.
Apple getting some tips from Richard before climbing.
Start climbing liao.....just bout 1.8 meter off the ground.
Goooooooooooooo Apple.
Wah...ada style ler.
Kau tim liao.
This trip is also is the first time Yew Hong climb outdoor. Its a good experience....especially when he tried lead climbing n learn the correct technique to use the quick draws and to hook/tie the rope to the anchor at the top.
1st time doin lead climb.....slowly learning how to hook the quickdraw correctly on the bolt.
Tying the rope to the anchor at the end of the climb.
Descending after tying the rope liao.
Doing another lead on a higher route.
I reckon this route is bout 25m high....quite daring of Yew Hong to lead such a high route on his 1st outdoor trip.
Too bad Yew Hong din manage to finish leading the 2nd route.....its really very tiring as its very high and also he fall ones. Tall routes requires a lot of stamina if you hang too long on the wall. Finally Richard has to complete leading the route at the last few bolts....n as usual...I am the one who clean the "shit"...opppssss....I mean quickdraws after the leader descended :P
Richard leading a technical route. That small bush on the right of his head really kacau lah...got ants summo.
Taking a look at where is the location of the bolt.
This move requires flexibility.
Found the bolt...ok..time to hook it.
Kau tim...reach the anchor at the top d.
After Richard descended....its my turn to go up to collect the....quick draws :)
Up up n away....hehehehe.
eeeee....got semut ah.
Unhook 1 quick draw liao....hooking it back onto my harness.
Goin for another quick draw.
Got it.
Now this is where it gets technical....n flexibility counts.
Reaching for the big crack on the left.
Unhook the last quickdraw d...now time to complete the route.
Kau tim...time to go down.
Turun turun

My Best Friend Wedding
Last Sunday is my one and only best friend punya wedding. Sudah lama I waited for him to kahwin....akhirnya the days come also. Was happy for him too...coz his perangai "sap har sap har" a bit wan...so got a wife to jaga him also good.
Wasn't able to make it for his "tendang pintu" ceremony.....which make him kinda upset...hehehe, anyway I make up for it by attending the church wedding.
Church of the holy name of Mary in Permatang Tinggi....so far from Penang Island.
Inside the church....catholic churches usually have nice designs...btw..this is a chinese church.
ah ha...groom sudah sampai...leng chai leh. His bro (at belakang) lagi leng chai ah.
The lovely bride.
Exchanging vows.

Pergi Penang
Was at Penang last weekend for a friend's wedding. Since the wedding reception and dinner is on Sunday....I decided to leave KL to Penang on Friday nite itself after work...so sayang n me can go jln jln a bit on Saturday.
We had all sort of plans for Saturday....however only manage to go to the botanical garden and makan makan at nite saja. All this becoz we are just too tired n find sleep more important than jln jln...hehehehe. Anyway still manage to go breakfast with Beckz punya friend's mama, whom we are staying at her place.
At the botanical garden...., was expecting to see many monkeys. Indeed there were a lot...sampai kena attack by one...hehehehe. This place is famous for joggers too....can see many of them, old and young running ard the garden. Also can see many kahwin orang come here for their outdoor photo shot.
I took the oportunity to put my old Canon Powershot A80 to some closeup pics.
Curi take pic of my sayang also...hehehehe
