An Update On Me....

Hello readers of my blog... if I still have them.

How's life? What were you guys up to during the whole period I disappeared from the blogging world? Hehe.

Most recent picture of me, in case you guys are curious. 

Me? A bit of travelling here and there (but mostly around Malaysia or maybe to Indonesia), a bit of running marathons and then there's hiking.

Oh... and I managed to gain back all the weight I lost a year ago. LOL.

Life accomplishments?

On a personal record, nothing that I can be proud of. But I guess I did manage to cross out some life goals that I listed down for myself in 2016 for 2017.

1. ✅ Buy a house
2. ✅ Salary reached RMXXXX
3. ✅ Started running a 10km marathon (well... I actually achieved in running a full 22km trail run under 6 hours.)
4. Joined a Gym. (Well I did for awhile until I was ordered to move to Kajang in which my gym membership had to be revoked. So now am fat again. huhu)
5. ❌ Hike once a month. I think I failed this in 2017 as I was having a mental breakdown after moving to Kajang. Hahaha.

All in all 2017 was good to me. Could have been better. But yeah... counting my blessings. So here's some pictures on my 2017 adventures for your viewing pleasure. Am sorry I had to private my instagram photos as I don't feel it relevant to share my life with just anyone anymore. I don't want to be a public figure. Haha #perasan

Adventures that I never wrote about. 

Hopefully I blog on my personal life after this? :P

Ramadan is Near, a RM59 Ramadan Buffet Review of Laman Kayangan

I got myself invited to one of those Ramadan Buffets around Klang Valley that are actively promoting their packages in time for Ramadan. This time I get to experience one in Laman Kayangan, Shah Alam Selangor.

A special appearance by Pn Fauziah Ahmad Daud. I tried the pasta though.

Chemerong Berembun Langsir Hiking Trip 2017

Last week I joined a trip to Chemerong National Park located in Terengganu. It was organized by an outdoor community who calls themselves Southern Eagle Adventure (SEA) headed by a woman named Lyn. I met her the first time during a hiking trip in Johor and now she is quite well known in the hiking world.

The trip was joined by 35 people of which 7 of them are women!

The trip takes 3 days and 2 nights, where we'd be spending both nights at the Langsir Waterfall, right above the gigantic falls. Eight hours of hiking is needed before reaching this campsite and it is compulsory to hire a guide.

This emerald pool is five minutes away from our campsite.

We also hiked to the nearby mountain of Berembun before spending the day away swimming and sliding down the slippery rocks to the pools below. I have never been to such undisturbed piece of wet heaven before, where you can directly drink the water whilst swimming without getting sick!

This place deserves a more visits in the future! AKU SANGGUP DATANG BANYAK KALI!

The isolation of the place and taking 8 hours to get here is a big factor on why the place is so untouched by pollution or littering. Thanks to the paid guides who kept it this way. Kudos! I actually felt really sad in leaving during the last day. I wished I could stay for a month at least! :(

Last but not least....

If only I have the skills and dedication to create my own travel videos... it would most probably look like the clip below. :P

Purrfect Cat Cafe Penang

Holidays are over and I spent my first day of 2017 visiting Penang as a transit spot before heading back to Kuala Lumpur. I didn't have much to do during my stopover as I arrived Penang around 630pm from Kota Kinabalu and stayed at a chic hostel called "Syiok Hostel" at Jalan Chulia. A highly recommended place to stay with private quarters for an all female dormitory and shared bathroom. Free breakfast is included with the cost and taken on the top floor. Clean and tidy. Have to use hostel's indoor slippers to go around and your shoes are left outside. I loved the concept. Memang syiok lah! Haha.

I must say that the transportation in Penang is very convenient! The Rapid Penang buses are cheap and you can get around easily with just RM2.70, which is also the cost from Georgetown to the airport. And then there's UBER!

So where did I go in such a short time?

I read about Purrfect Cat Cafe from a map of Penang gotten from the airport. It wasn't that far away from Chulia street and decided to head there before my bus to KL at 12:30pm.

When I reached there, the cafe was still close. The time shown on my phone was 9:55am. Most of the shops were still closed except the Camera Musuem next to it. There were cats there too so I went to play with them first.

The cafe eventually opened around 10am and after looking around the cats' merchandise downstairs, I paid RM13.00 to enter the cat section upstairs. Hands washed and shoes left downstairs, I immediately started to capture some decent cat photos using my Huawei P9 Plus.

He's trying to tell me that he's the boss!
