hiking BROGA Hill



Annyeong!! Hii!!  *waves*

super long delayed post. Wanted to post bout my hike at Broga Hill for a really really long time already, but just, was busy and lazy. Busy, most of the time. With what you say? (syok sendiri, maybe noone's asking this) hmm, studying stuffs, assignments, little things here and there. I'm coping with it, pretty well i suppose. Hopefully the end result will be good *OPTIMISM* :)


Alright, so in my previous few post, i mentioned bout hiking Broga Hill. Actly now that i think of it, it was 2 months back already. Time sure pass fast.


I remember sleeping at bout 12 the night before. 2 hours of sleep i think, then woke up at bout 2.30am!! Me and my hiking buddies :D gathered at bout 3am. Super drowsy, i was barely awake. Drove there (the guys, not me cause they don't trust my driving skills. In my defence, I can drive pretty well!! )

Got a lil lost along the way, took us slightly longer than it should for us to reach. Was rushing so badly cause we didn't want to miss the sun rise, the whole point of us waking up that early.

Reached there, it was still really really dark. Like you have to move around with a torch light (which i forgot to bring, despite my dad reminding me earlier that day == ) There was already few other groups of people/hikers there too.


The hike up was, slooowww. Cause of the darkness, it's pretty hard to find your ways, as in it's rather tough to know where to put your hands and feet. Plus, we wanna make sure everyone's safe so, Slow and Steady!!

FYI, the Broga Hill have 4 stages to it, if i may. There's 4 rather wide platforms along the way where people just sits n rests and some may even decide to stop there (too tired, etc) The 4th platform being the top.

So along the way up/ on top, i was trying to take pictures with my phone but they didn't turn out too well :( Pictures were all dark n those with flash had a pinkish effect on it. I guess it's because i was using a pink case so the flash reflected on the case, does that make sense to you?

As you can see, when we reached the top, it was till really dark. There was already a crowd when we reached the top. All waiting for the sunrise. The clearer pictures were taken with a camera.


Hiking buddies!! There were a few more of them.



Anxiously waiting for the sunrise at the top.






Even the moon was still up when we reached the top. haha

Group Shot in darkness.










Then, when the sky started to brighten up a bit, girls being girls, we camwhored more!! lol
Bad quality pictures cause we used our phone's camera. Good enough *thumbsup*








Honestly, when u say sunrise on a hill top, i would expect it to be an amazing, breath-taking scenery. You know like one of those typical drawings we do back in primary school? Big round bright sun, clouds, beautiful skylight. But what i saw that day was .___. not that it wasn't beautiful, it's just....normal.  Basically the sky looked exactly the same as it does when i see it early in the morning when i go to school. Normal. Or maybe it was just that day in particular that it didn't look amazing.

Being disappointed with the view, i just let myself enjoy the hike up n down.

I prefer going up than down. The way down was, quite energy-consuming i would say. The ground is quiet eroded already, so pretty slippery. I practically slide on my feet/heels most of my way down. Lol. It was fun. haha







On the way down, it was really bright already, don't remember the time though. There was alot of people making their way up as we were going down.
A couple of jumpshots here and there :)
(got these pictures from my friend's fb )










Andddd, that's bout it. After the hike, we did a lil clean up, went for lunch there in Nottingham area. Btw, for those who don't know Broga Hill is near Nottingham University.

Now, a lil advise for the girls who would wanna go hiking or some sort. I would prefer to go in long pants or leggings or long tights or just anything long, to protect my legs. haha. Even though it's just a very minimal protection, of course you're still exposed to risk of injuries and all, but as long as you're careful, you won't get scratches on your legs. Be it from mosquitoes/ creepy crawly stuffs or prickling plants, etc etc. 

Wear a comfortable shoe which allows you to move easily, and it should have a good grip. Or else, you would slip n fall n die!!! :O
Prevention better than cure, yes? :)
Just stay in groups, don't fool around too much, don't push yourself (when you're tired or feeling dizzy, inform your friends, you guys should stop)
Bring waters and some energy bar/chocolate bar/ snacks along.
And you'll be fine ;)

Most importantly, have lots n lots of fun!!



Shadow made my leg/thigh look so big. haha. self-conscious much.






I'm done now. Gonna go do a lil reading before i call it a day.
Good night and have a Great day ahead.
PS : SMILE MORE :))))

Bye *wavess*

Hii :) blogging from my phone again. Just felt like sharing bout how did my day went.

I went to Sunway Pyramid during noon to meet up with my friends, one of them just came back from oversea. She desperately needed some shopping time after being away for a few months. Haha. I guess most girls would know how she feels.

So, we went for lunch first since all 3 of us were famished. Decided on BUBBA GUMP. My first time trying the food here *thumbsup* Food was yummylicious. Especially to those shrimp lovers out there, you should check this place out. And according to my friend, their beef is good as well, ribs in particular.

Drinks, we had, the one on the left is, Alabama "idontrememberwhat" smoothie, it's basically a peanut butter smoothie. Haha. At first i thought it would be weird to taste peanut butter in a smoothie, but it's actually pretty good. 
The one on the right is mango with lemon. I don't remember it's fancy name. N it's refillable :)




Food, this is mine, the "Of course we have scampi" pasta. I like it :) would definitely go back for it. 



Beef burger, with BBQ sauce i think, tomatoes, onion rings, salad. My friend who had it said it's good too.



This is a big portion of shrimp basically. Shrimps cooked in 3 different ways. This is highly recommended :D


My awesome friends. Aren't they good looking? *nodshead*


A vain vain selfshot.




After a much satisfying lunch, 3 of us were bloated btw, we couldn't even finish the food, left few little shrimps lying on the plate. Haha. As I was saying, after lunch, we did some shopping. I went there not intending to buy anything, not any clothes or shoes or anything at all. Unfortunately, I did == bought shoes for my sister and myself  *a-pat-on-the-back-for-being-a-loving-sister* ;) bought 2 pieces of clothing and some daily necessities.
I really like getting shoes!!! :D
Clothes too.
But I make sure i don't overspend and only get things I would use. Always remember to do that everyone!!

My friend was satisfied with her gain from today as well. She managed to get a bunch of new clothes for herself. So I guess everyone's happy *yayyy*
Then both of us got tired of walking around, we did some catching up at Tutti Frutti :) while enjoying some yummy frozen yogurt of course. I really like them actly. Particularly enjoy the original flavor, what is it specifically called?
I was halfway through eating my yogurt then "oh! I wanna take a picture!" lol
So there you go, my not-technically-half-eaten frozen yogurt.












Left Sunway pyramid at bout 7-ish, headed to my sister's place and had dinner with her. She took me to this little place call THE HUNGRY HOG.

Fyi, it's at SS15. Not bad la, pretty tasty food.


I had this burger (top picture) , PLAIN JANE, cost me RM12.90. Juicy pork patty with cheese and tomato slices *slurpss*

My sis had this, HUMPTY DUMPTY (bottom picture) , cost RM12.90 too. Egg with bacon!! I prefer mine though



















And lastly, how i look today. haha
Bun-ed up my hair again.
and my scar from the fell-in-drain incident is still very much visible :( It's slowly fading off though. So that's good.



Alright, that's it about today.
Any of you guys going over to Taylor's Lakeside Campus later in the evening?  (2nd March)
If you don't know what's going on there, let me tell you :) Youtube sensation,
CHESTER SEEJASON CHEN, DAVID CHOI, JIN from JINNYBOYTV would be there!! And i suppose Chester, Jason and David would be singing. YESS!!!
So, if you're free, be there after 4pm!! Free admissions yo!! :D
And if you do follow @Jinnyboy on Instagram, you would see him bringing the 3 guests around places trying out our Malaysian food such as durian etc.


okkkk, Time for bed now.
Good night everyone who's reading this at night :)
Have a lovely weekend!!

Big Bad Wolf.

Annyeong :) *wavesss*
Am now blogging from my phone. Cause my laptop ran out of battery n I left my chargers back at home. Tsk tsk. Am so forgetful sometimes.

How was your day today? Mine was very much satisfying. Why? Cause I went to the BIG BAD WOLF book fair!!
Books there are ridiculously, amazingly cheap!! *squeals*
I'm talking bout prices like RM 5 or RM8 for a novel which was originally RM30 (minimum) or more. I was so freaking over the moon when I was there. Seriously :D

Many people went there prepared actly, especially adults? Some went there with little trolleys, you know those where people go grocery shopping with? Some brought along luggage bags, the ones with wheels. As for the others, like me and my friend who btw was generous enough to fetch me along today :) We used boxes which they provide there. Boxes of various sizes, so no worries about buying too many books. There's no such things as TOO MANY BOOKS ;) same concept as how girls buy clothes/shoes and how guys play.....games, DOTA?

I was too busy going through the books so I didn't take any pictures of the place there, things there, etc etc. not even myself. Lol. So I apologize for not having pictures of the place to show u guys. But this would make u wanna go more right, right? Especially book lovers. You must go!! GO!!!
My friend and I were both there for almost 3 hours.

Ok, enough of me blabbering. Now to give you some useful infos.
The book fair is from today, 28th Feb to Mon, 4th Mac.
9am till 9pm.
The Mines Convention centre.

Dear students, you can use your 1Malaysia book vouchers there. Use it and stand a chance to win some attractive prices.
Too bad I haven't gotten my vouchers yet :(
Or better yet, refer to the poster below. Haha. More precise infos.




They arrange books in specific categories. Fictions, non fictions, photography, transport, travel, reference, science/nature, romance, architecture/ designs, cookery, health and beauty,pre-schools, kids, young adults.
Hmm, that's about it I guess, as far as I can recall.

So, I'm gonna be very occupied for some time now. Read read read *yaayyy*
But I really should be studying and start doing my assignments D: urghhh. I shall not complain. I will do good *optimism*

Ok, that's it for now.
Byee :)
Good night
Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.


There you go, some random pictures from earlier.




Queuing up. 


Filtering books after choosing so many. My friend kept saying how she's buying a whole library home. Haha

Hii :) am here to blog again after a week or so? I've been wanting to blog about my Broga Hill hike, CNY week and all, but just, didn't ==  Plus I didn't even take much pictures during CNY week, was busy having fun and eating the whole time. Haha. How was your CNY? Mine was great!!
Hopefully I will bring myself to blog about it, soon.

So, I didn't have classes today. Slept till noon, woke up, lazed around, munched on food alot, watched TED. I've been wanting to watch Ted for some time now, n finally did. It was OK la .__. Not as funny as I thought it would be. Maybe my expectation is too high cause I heard it's a really really funny movie. For those who don't know which movie I'm talking about, It's the one with the talking Teddy bear.
I watched UPSIDE DOWN couple of days back. I liked it. It's a good movie with interesting concept. You guys should watch it.
Watched SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN yesterday. I enjoyed it as well. Go watch it!!
Have been watching movies these few days cause i just got them from a friend of mine last weekend. Movies to keep me occupied and avoid boredom. haha

Later, during dinner time, my cousin wanted to have sushi, so we did! We went to Midvalley, since it's pretty near us, and finally decided on Hokkaido Ichiban at The Gardens. My cousin likes it here.
Dinner was very much satisfying :) Here's some pictures for you.
I really don't know/remember what each dish of sushi is called. But I do know everything is pretty good *thumbsup*





I liike this!! :) Salmon maki. It may be the cheapest/simplest sushi anywhere but I liike it *slurps*


And of course, yous truly. lol

My hair was in a mess today since I practically stayed in bed the whole day. I was feeling lazy too, so I just bunned up my hair like an "AhMa" when we left for dinner. lol

Then after dinner, we wanted to have desserts, my favourite part of any meal. Hee
But was too bloated :( so decided on to just walk around the mall.
Look look, do you like my army printed sweater/pullover/ whatever-it's-suppose-to-be-called ?
It's so pretty, no? Plus it's really comfy to wear.
In these pictures, I was in Forever 21, trying on some clothes. But this army printed top was what i wore there. Haha. Just thought i should take a picture of my pretty top  :P *vain*
For those who might be interested, I got it just 2 weeks ago at this little shop/boutique at Times Square. Forgot which shop though, only remember was at Times Square.




Walked around till the mall was closing already, then we left. Managed to buy some stuffs. Haha. A shirt, earrings for my sisters (see, i can be a loving sister sometimes) some other accessories (didn't take pictures of them though)
anddddddd
I bought a bed sheet for my parents. haha. They were on sale, like 80% off. Initially cost bout RM1000++ , now it's only RM300. Worth it man!! I remember seeing my parents shop for bed sheet like these, so i thought I should get them one :D
See, see!! It's yellow with notsoobvious different shades of yellow stripes.
My mum likes it!! I sent her a picture via whatsapp earlier. haha




I know what you're thinking, "Must she include her face in the picture, can't she just take picture of the bed sheet? " <<<< Is this what you're thinking? lol
Well, no! I wanna be in the picture also. lol

Oh, one more thing, I have friends (future doctors :D) who would be back from India tomorrow. YAY!! Can't wait to see them. It has been awhile. Hopefully we'll have plans to hang out or something.

Alright, that's it for now. Time to sleep.
Good Night.
Sweet dreams :)

CNY mood spoiler and shoe!

Hii, awesome people :) How many of you are excited for Chinese New Year?? Reunion Dinner later tonight then officially CNY tomorrow!! *throwsconfetti*


Anyhow, as suggested by the tittle of the post, somethings totally ruin my CNY mood. Earlier this week, i fell, in a drain == Thus, an big ass ugly scar on my left leg and a bruise on my right leg. So much for looking good in dresses and shorts this CNY. It's nothing major actually, just scratches, but definitely not something that will be gone in a week time *frustrated*
Any of you got any ideas on concealing it or making it disappear faster? Do let me know k?
I don't think it would be appropriate to share a picture of my wound here. Lol. Ridiculous much.

On top of that, PIMPLES, ACNE *sigh* They are just evil, evil little thing!! Just this week, I had a pimple breakout on my chin. Not just one, or two, or even three, just alot!! == Not to forget those existing ones on my cheek. Just a week ago, clear pretty chin, this week, horror! Such bad timing.
It doesn't show in the picture above though. Pictures can be really deceiving sometimes.
I know I know, the irony in me, I should be sleeping early if I want a better complexion but I had a short nap in the afternoon earlier.

OK, pardon me for my ridiculous ranting.
Now, to share with you what I got in the mail today :D
*drumrollllllssss*
.

Tadaaa!!  You like? :)
I got it from Te Chi-Chi (as though it's not obvious enough) I'm happy with it. Reasonable price. Isn't it pretty? Lol. It's comfy too, so should be quite versatile. I can wear it to classes, etc etc, suitable for walking, since I'm doing lots of walking recently. I mean, girls would know how certain shoes can hurt your feet if you walk too long in them, right right?
Shoes with ankle strap, i liiike *thumbsup*
Oh, and do you like their shoe box? Pretty right? :)

Alright, yawning already. Time to get some sleep and wake up fresh and hopefully with less acne *fingerscross*
Reunion meal today, my family is doing both lunch and dinner. I wanna watch my dad cook in the morning later.
Yes, watch, not much helping cause I can't cook but that will change. Watching is the first step in learning. Baby steps!! Enjoy your reunion meals everyone! :)

Good night.
Sweet dreams :)

Hansel and Gretel.

Hii :)  Happy February everyone!! There goes January in a flash, seems so fast, at least to me.

I wanna do a quick post to share with you guys about HANSEL AND GRETEL:WITCH HUNTERS. I just watched it today (well yesterday since it's already pass 12am) with my little sister. It was great!! My sister and myself were watching it with much excitement. I would give it a 7/10?
I don't know, I'm not too good at rating movies, maybe I'm just not too picky when it comes to movie. Lol. Nyways, you guys really should watch it, go to the cinema, or just download it.

To those who doesn't know what it's about, here's the trailer for you :)

Oh, and Gemma Arterton is really really pretty in the movie *thumbsup*


So, after the movie, we did a little shopping, not clothes, just some necessities. I bought some new stuffs for my face. For those who knows me personally, you would know, I have horrible HORRIBLE skin, MAJOR acne problem D: talking/thinking about it makes me sad. Anyhow, if by any miracle == any of those stuffs work on me, I'll share about it. Who knows, maybe some of you have the same problem with me?  

Alright, that's about it for now. I have to get some sleep now, waking up at bout 2.30 later :O less than 3 hours of sleep.
I'm going hiking!! at Broga Hill!! watching sunrise!! :D  I'm so freaking excited!!! *jumps up and down*
Do expect pretty pictures from my little adventure. I hope I don't get wear out too fast, lack of sleep plus I'm not exactly known for my stamina ==

Bye *wavesss*
Good night. Sweet dreams :)

Online shopping?

Hii :) so, I'm really bad at this whole blogging thing, I haven't been blogging for almost 2 weeks now *FAIL*

Random picture of me to start the post cause i'm vain like that. Meh = = 

Now, Chinese New Year is only a week away, I'm sure everyone is busy doing some last minute CNY shopping. Especially for girls, most have been doing CNY shopping for the past months? haha. CNY is the best excuse/reason to do endless shopping, be it clothes or FOOD ;)
I'm now munching on "honeycomb cookie" while typing this , one of my favorite CNY snacks, ever!! :D





Thinking about all the CNY snacks and meals makes me hungry *drools*  Can't wait!!
OK, food and snacks aside, for now, I wanna talk about clothes :) You know how not all of us are able to go shopping for new clothes? maybe you're busy schooling or your parents are not free to bring you out or whatsoever reasons at all, you can always try online shopping.
I for one was never into online shopping until I started last year, but I don't go overboard of course. Self control is the key ;)

I recently bought some stuffs for my sisters and myself from MANGO.COM <<< click away :)
What I like about online shopping is there're tend to be more stock and of course being able to avoid all the crowd. Have you ever found something you really like but just, the size and color you want is not available at that particular branch. I personally find those situations very much frustrating. Thus, online shopping!! :D
Plus, I really like anticipating for packages. LOL

FYI, packages from Mango come in very nice packaging *thumbs up* I don't have pictures for you though, i wasn't home when the package came in.

Nyways, you guys should always be careful when you're doing online shopping. Only buy stuffs from trusted sources, go through the website/online boutique's reviews from other customers first. Always keep track of the products your ordered. You wouldn't wanna lose your money unnecessarily now, do you?

Alright, that's it for now, just a short update :)
Bye *waveess*

PS : CNY decorations are up at my house. Will share about it soon.
