Some may have noticed that some blog posts are currently missing...perhaps there has been some turmoil in my life...where I wanted to express something at some time, but after awhile, decided not to publish my thots to the public...SORRY about that, if you have read it, then lucky you, missed it and it's gone!

ZL messaged me saying that I had a very happening weekend...and I knew that she had read my blog...well...for being happening...I am now suffering from sore limbs; my calves ache...esp when I foolishly decided to wear heels this morning...and my triceps hurt...perhaps from holding onto the ropes too tightly?
To add to that, I also have dark eye circles to prove that I didn't sleep on Sat night.
ZL asked me why I didn't upload photos.. sorry...didn't bring my camera...and I left my hp with someone else so that I don't have to carry anything while negotiating the high rocks...so only have a photo of the sunset whilst we were crossing the causeway on the way home on Sunday evening...

Can't remember when our little red dot started being so crowded...no matter what time it is, the public transpot is always packed like sardines...every morning, my colleagues always complain that they have to wait for a few trains to go by before they can board the train.
I am thankful that I do not need to take public transport every morning. So when I had to take public transport, I was surprised that it was so packed...see the crowded platform at JE MRT on Friday at around 10am...
After a whole day in bed yesterday, recuperating from the trek...today seems like a bad day to start work...the engine is taking a long time to warm up...
Don't know why I agreed to go on this expedition...others were surprised when they heard that I would be going this time...as I do not have a reputation to be a good climber...haha but I SURVIVED!
Where did we climb this time? Gunang Datuk. Haven't heard of it before? Found a link in the email sent to me of some videos/ pictures that people have put up.

This is my 1st experience trekking in the dark...but it's good that my headlight finally gets and outing...the cons of trekking with a headlight? The insects get attracted to your light...and horrors of horrors....get sucked in when you breathe! Believe me, I've breathed in at least 2 insects yesterday evening!
This is also my 1st experience trekking with so much load on my back...this is because I brought 2L of water, sweater for the cold. Going up was real difficult with such a heavy load hence I kept on drinking water...
After 2 hours of trekking, we finally reached the submit, the most horrible part of climbing each hill / mountain is the submit part...it is always difficult to get to the top. Gunung Datok's peak consists of several huge rocks. Some kind soul had provided some rusty ladders and climbing ropes for amateurs like me...even then, my legs were trembling when I climbed up the 7 ladders all positioned strategically.
The view is really magnificent! We missed the sunset because of cloudiness. :(
But after each climb, I always come back so proud of myself!
Well done...now to go and rest my aching limbs...
Feel very blessed this week because of kind souls who kept me well-fed. :P
Wednesday morning, SW bought Chee Cheong Fun for me for breakfast.Then during dinner, OC told me that there was yam cake and my favourite kind of CHEESE sausages! Yummy! Although I had to work late in the office, my spirits were kept high!
Today, BS offered to share her mee siam with me for tea-break, then when OC and group came back from their training, they bought donuts for us! With all the sugar-fuel, managed to submit my report before 10pm today.
Hopefully I won't have to OT tomorrow, although I have already discovered that I missed out some points in the report that I submitted today. :(
Haven't blogged in the office for some time...cause haven't been too busy to need to stay OT, plus the Transport Uncle in the mornings now go by a longer route, hence each time we reach the office, it is almost time for work and I no longer have extra time to do some blogging.
So proud of myself!

Really don't know why I am wasting precious sleeping time to play around with my blog tonight....
Don't know why...I always get irritated when people ask me
1. What are you busy with now?
2. Where are you going?
3. Who are you going with?
Normally, I would be able to diffuse questions that I don't want to answer. However, when people ask me such questions....it always seem to get on my nerves...
I really don't understand why i have to report to others!!!!
Must be exhaustion that caused me to stop blogging, after spending time to spruce up my blog....or perhaps it is writer's block? Or perhaps, it is that my need to keep myself private has arose again?
After laying low for some time, finally decided to change the blog design again! Hope nobody gets lost in this interesting main page! :P
It seems that sometimes we have to practice tough love…however, it seems that only AY can do it…to drill it into her she is the only one that can help herself…that she has to believe in herself…and stop wallowing in self-pity…for me…if I had been tough on her….it would just have been a shouting match….and the results? 2 angry persons with 1 guilty conscience..
