Now that 2022 has left us behind with a rather spectacular eventful of serendipity and a mixed baggage of emotions, let me recap some of the finer epiphany that came knocking my medula oblongata just few months ago.<div><br /></div><div>I like to call it as a pleasant delivery that arrived after I have been placing in my 'life cart' yeah if you love online shopping then you know the gist. Those items that you wanted to purchase but it has always been a 'should i' or 'should i not' purchase kinda feeling. Sometime we keep this items in the cart like forever and one fine day when your mind finally come into a realization that you need to get that stuff. Wait no more. So it was the same concept that i have couple of things I've always wanted to do but it was kept there somewhere in my memory bank while some I wrote it in my journal book that I hardly look into it lately due to busy schedule. Then some incident happened that it came to my senses, alright no more excuses and wait no more.</div><div><br /></div><div>Finally last September I made a point to put aside everything, take a pause and press that SUBMIT 'life cart' button. Long history short, some calculated risk and feeling fear involved, I made a point to go ahead and do it anyway.. life is one heck of an adventure right? Absolutely. so here I am in the land of unknown, foreign and alien but the it has been delivered right - so i just need to brace myself and go ahead to start figuring it out what I want to do next. It was super scary at first, to be honest at one point I was thinking to myself..Are we really doing this , D? i guessed my support system around me are super convincing that no matter what happened, i will be fine and somehow that assurance gives me 80% confident, 20% doubt haha. </div><div><br /></div><div>Growing up I always know that i am up for something big out there. I meant, I am always curious to know and experience new territory, environment, vibe, opportunities and all the likes but it has been 3 years real life put me on hold from venturing all that. Oh man, it was hard and i don't even know myself during those period. Probably it was a wake up call. Enough is enough. So that was when this #D44Project was formed. I only told to my closest loved ones and they were supportive. D is my initial and the number 4 has been a significant 'luck' number to me ..but oh well.. u know things that we called luck right. You gotta make your own luck. I noticed that in order to materialize and make things happen, you need to first of course create a dream list, then manifest it, and finally act on it. Small progress is better than no progress. I'm always a believer that if you want something so badly, you need to do something greatly. </div><div><br /></div><div>44 days of things that I do repeatedly will become a habit, 444 am is the time that I frequently look into when I have great ideas come into my mind. yeah weird but it does. Coincidently I have been alive in this world with that favorite number, yeah to me age is just a number. Anyway there are 44 newness that I want to experience and explore and that include to have 44 countries in my list by end of 2023. As I am writing this, I have another 13 countries to go. let's see! these are 44 list of newness that i would like to achieve in this #D44Project :</div><div><br /></div><div>1) Take sabbatical break from life</div><div>2) Celebrate White Christmas</div><div>3) Try Snowboarding</div><div>4) Hiking on snow</div><div>5) </div><div><br /></div><div> </div>Devi da Lil' DeviLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03312432309706321701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855785160901799060.post-44492936946381690492023-01-18T22:25:00.000+08:002023-06-16T23:55:15.409+08:00 Sri Lanka - The Sultry Senorita<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hye 2019! 1 year passed by just like that. People often called the world as she/her so as I am fortunate enough to fly to a beautiful Island nation at the south of India in the Indian Ocean </span><span style="font-size: large;">early this year</span><span style="font-size: large;">, i would rather called Sri Lanka as the Sultry Senorita!. The diversification landscapes of this place range from lush green rainforest to captivating highland to sandy beaches and rocky mountains are something that traveler like me are always hunger for. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My style of travels have always been impromptu / spontaneous / adventurous and some even last minute (yeah i love the thrills..sometime). Only certain occasion it was semi-planned (never well detailed plan because I would eventually discover or explore something out of the itinerary). Because my mind is always open for a new adventure, new experience and how I perceive every moment as a new beginning. My principle in life is to always find new thing to do or new place to visit at least once a year. But the habit has now multiply and it can be quite addictive..haha..but for a good cause so i believe it is still alright. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway one of the reason why Sri Lanka was chosen as my next destination was simply because one fine day as I was swapping my Astro tv channels, suddenly i stumbled into a cooking show (yes you got me right..i dont normally cook) but when renowned chef, Peter Kuruvita was cooking on top of a mountain overlooking an amazing backdrop of another mountain, it caught my eyes and ears. Yeah..So I keep watching and was totally flabbergasted when he was explaining about Sigiriya Rock behind him while he was cooking openly at the peak of Pidurangala Rock as pictured below. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then my curious mind started digging about Sigiriya rock. I saw all this images that I've decided ok its about time D, you need to get yourself to be there!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi65_kdOEJ8mdOOH7JZyoBZABaEsZxSR0AIYu5jHCgjerIb9M1QHxDi5fqzjBIOMPIwkwWfT0wEA_6uRJYyOTNqRrnyXZE-sFD6GlTJV3qpvnNl383nP4QYnjm_8v_dLe7oMi5MTf_L53-x/s1600/Desktop.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi65_kdOEJ8mdOOH7JZyoBZABaEsZxSR0AIYu5jHCgjerIb9M1QHxDi5fqzjBIOMPIwkwWfT0wEA_6uRJYyOTNqRrnyXZE-sFD6GlTJV3qpvnNl383nP4QYnjm_8v_dLe7oMi5MTf_L53-x/s640/Desktop.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So I managed to get quite a good deal under MAS Airlines during public holiday stretch (26/1/18-3/2/18) which was even greater deal for working people like me. Long story short, my #beboks gang was informed and before we knew it, we ter'pressed' the 'Buttons'. Did our visa via online - fast and efficient at this link: <a href="https://www.eta.gov.lk/slvisa/visainfo/fees.jsp">https://www.eta.gov.lk/slvisa/visainfo/fees.jsp</a> (fee USD20, RM3.94 @ USD1 in Jan 2018) , managed to get a local driver contact and did some research on the accommodation and places we want to hike and visit, boy we were so excited when the time finally arrive!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Formerly known as CEYLON, Sri Lanka is a far off island nation at the south of India and famed for its ancient Buddhist ruins with many historic diversification. Our 7 full days itinerary was filled with long drive, enchanting sceneries, crazy hike with 5,500 steps one way, meeting new friends, fun photo and video shoot, laughter, someone getting sick, tried varieties of local food (pedas/spicy!), went lengha shopping, experience the local National Day parade, getting close to ancient Buddhist historical site, my soul was gripped with amazing wanderlust especially the small town of Ella. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">2017 –aahhh as I utter you out
from my mouth and twisted with my lips, it already gives me goosebump…not in
the ghostly manner but hrmm I felt like this satisfying feeling of eating a
real good packed of strawberry jam :P </span><span style="font-size: large;">..warm and fresh out from the farm. Not too
sweet, not too sour either. Just perfect balance and I am excited to share some
of the memoirs about you.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I will soon bid goodbye to
you, my mind started to reflect what I’ve been through while you are still with
me here…ticking the clock every hour, every seconds - stop pushing would ya?. I
wish you could slow down a bit but oh well, maybe we are the same. Restless
when we are idle and always looking for adventure when there are none.
Nevertheless, you’ve mould me into someone that I don’t even recognize myself this
days.. geezz but I don’t blame you, I don’t even blame myself coz I embrace
every imperfections and adapt to changes like a tadpoles into a frog..well I
can choose butterflies but I prefer frogs because it can survive in 2 different
types of nature. I must admit it’s a
mixed baggage of feelings because I will never ever see you again. But of
course you will be forever remembered in my memory banks..that for sure.. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In the beginning, you started off
quite slow, infact quite timid ..and I told myself Im going to make my own list
of resolutions like any other years but aha..this time im not going to place
any high expectation infact my expectation was the lowest compare to the
previous years ive been. All in the name of learning the lessons well and to
manage my disappointment. So almost half of my list of resolutions is the
continuous part of the previous while the rest are pretty new, crazier, almost
impossible resolutions that I’ve made (</span><span style="font-family: "wingdings"; font-size: large;">à</span><span style="font-size: large;">
what was I thinking?). Anyway, surprisingly I’ve managed to turn some of the
resolutions that I’ve penned on that black diary of mine into awesome freaking
realities. Fist punch to that, D! They say things that you don’t see, you probably
would not remember right..well at least I put my wicked handwriting into good
use..No kidding..wow im impressed, D.
You are one level up from the peak that you conquered yesterday. Achievement
and accomplishment can come from many types of forms. Different people perceive
differently. Some look for status, monetary, power, while some look for
spiritual, peace, happiness and freedom. To me, I’m always remind myself to
seek for balance. You need to be thankful first before you could really taste
the feeling of happiness within.</span></div>

sometime reality hits, I do have fears even though I’ve been called a dare
devil. Truth is, it was all along my
alter ego playing the game —I am after all just a simple kampung girl from
small hometown of Mentakab who occasionally shy away from the crowd (can you
believe this girl?…please don’t..haha).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sometime I just live the moment
and made really bold moves when I am alone in my solitude. I have my ups and
downs – c’mon who doesn’t right? But the fact that I prefer to wash away the
bad and keep the good in my dictionary that probably what keeps me going. Some
of my friends wondering how can I be that carefree and could not care less
about what’s happening around me. You see, worry and fear is 2 ultimate toxic
that a person should avoid. But we are not perfect after all, human tends to
slip down a little from the slope of negativity but I believe mind over
matters. Because the mind can be the most powerful thing I’ve ever own in my
life…no kidding, bro. Don’t trust a
single word I say, trust you guts, trust your instinct and most importantly
trust what you’ve believe in. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Then <span style="color: blue;"><b>February</b></span> came along, my initial
plan was to hike the highest mountain in Indonesia, Mount Kerinchi. Well that
doesn’t happen coz I was down with bad diarrhea. I was bed ridden in the cold
climate of 2<sup>nd</sup> largest tea plantation and Mount Kerinci was just for
my eyes to admire from afar. Its ok, maybe we don’t have any faith to get to
know each other this year. But I am blessed because I was taken care of by good
friend and strangers that become friends. My admiration towards hiking has
turned from ‘liking’ level to ‘passion’ level.. yeah I love hiking..simply
because it teaches me a lot of things about life, being patient, being outside
of my comfort zone, the nature, the
beautiful sight, getting to know more characters and how my perceptions about
life changed drastically. Not all the things you see are correct, sometime you have
to feel it to know if it is right. Simple way to put it is, even sugar can be
deceived as salt until you tasted it yourself. Geddit?<o:p></o:p></span><br />

the warm hospitality simply an added points in my travel muse. The vibe was so

visiting the temples, mingling with the locals, meeting new friends, learning
the culture, tasting the food, on a journey of 9 hours bus ride, shower at KFC
toilet, haggling with the taxi drivers, ride the e-bike and met an accident

year. not to be biased but because the most important people in my life gave
birth to me on her birthday. So that alone make it a reason to celebrate,
right? Life itself is a celebration..but celebrate it moderately. My rojakgirls
did a touching birthday celebration for me at Cameron Highland. I think I
almost need a tissue but neah my tears still very much a dryland for now. But I
got my roti tisu as a birthday cake..how creative and thoughtful. My siblings, my colleagues and my best friend also did a surprise birthday celebration..wow seems like it was a month of sweetness. And..my long lost best buddy decided to contact me out of a sudden and what a confession...love for you my dear friend. And as a reward from my contest $$, i got myself GoPro Hero5 ..in love, i am! </span></div>

Bhubaneswar all happening on the same week.. crazy right? Not quite. I was
amazed by the amount of love I’ve received. I am forever grateful and blessed
for that. Sometimes the least you expected is the most you will be surprised.
My adoration towards India is like the feeling of getting the 1st sunrise after days of thunder and rain. I crave for its glory and the heat is intense..perghh..but at the end, I get to
enjoyed the scenic view where my mind was at its most ease. Thank you for the

away August with a flick of a finger. I’ve decided to fulfill my long lost

a sign of contentment and sigh of relief as I walked carefully at the crater
rim of Bromo. It was magical and enchanting just like fireworks of my homegrown
Malaysias’ Independence Day. Travelling with great companions is always a
blessing. </span><br />

called almost could not make it in the bucket list story came about. I did bungy
jump before but it was just 20m high at Sunway Lagoon. That was few years ago..
and I got really bad headache for a week!!! .I even told myself I am not going
to do it again.. i repeat I am NOT going to do it again..hahaha never say never right? I was lucky to be one of the
winners under Air Asia Crazy Jump 2017 contest where the prizes were all expenses paid
trip to Macau with accommodation and indulge for the highest bungy jump in the
world at 233m at Macau Tower..yup that was like 10x higher than I did before...
As I swallowed my 'never say never statement' down the throat, I could already
imagined and felt that bad headache I’ve experienced before..gulp..but I did
the plunge and boy it was an awesome feeling..falling down at 120km/h and I
instantly felt this crazy feeling of wanting to do it again.. for the record no
headache..thank god! Thank you AirAsia for all this and getting to know crazier
bunch of adventurous people in my life. Keep adding the statistic and I am not
complaining.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Even though I do face few
challenges and obstacles (let’s just skip this because what is life without
problems, right?), but you've made me stronger, better and of course happier. And made me realize that, girl, you better start joining more contests coz i need more paid travel and gadgets!! Like I always "we cant wait for luck, we make our own luck to be lucky and dont let that opportunity pass you by" So yeah it
is almost ending, like I said, I wish you could slow down or at least stay a
little longer but the only permanent thing in life is change. Eventually I have
to accept that you will morph into 2018 soon. I will end with a big thank you
note for making my life really awesome this year. Love, hugs and kisses..it is
not a goodbye as you will always have a special place in my heart. Here to
another year of awesomeness..bring it on 2018! I am ready...i think so..Keep Dreaming, Keep Inspiring, Keep Exploring, and Keep Living, hahaha! You got this, D!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hard Rock Bali was my first encounter towards its franchise that has been widely known for its rockingly awesome accommodation especially among rockers and their famous counterpart. My first overseas trip was to Bali in 2005 when I won an all expenses-paid trip under Laurier with a local artiste, Misha Omar. Bali has been my favorite destination ever since because I was immediately smitten by the beauty of her natural charm and wonders, indescribable mysteries of their unique culture and belief plus their beautiful people that never short of smiles and hospitality. I must definitely thanks to Laurier for first introduced me to this gorgeous land also known as Island of Gods or Island of Peace. There's something about Bali that made me keep coming back for more. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I first set my foot here with a bunch of strangers but we became friends within split seconds. That time it was a pass through point for us to take some kodak moments and also to bring back home some souvenirs of their iconic T-shirts and pins/merchandize. Then i re-visited in 2013 also as stop over points before heading back home to Malaysia. But recently this year, 5 September 2015, I had a chance to stay in Hard Rock Bali for 3D2N courtesy of their instagram contest. I was overwhelmed and didn't expect that but wow i am really going to stay there. To some, it may be a norm but to me it was a privilege. and i am super blessed for all the good things that God has given me to experience. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've received an email from Margaret Lovely of Hard Rock Bali few months prior to this trip and was overjoyed with anticipation. Thank you dear Lovely. Unfortunately we didnt had a chance to meet during my stay there as time did not permit, perhaps next time we should! :) Arrived at Hard Rock Bali at night after wandering around Ubud and Kintamani. As I entered the reception area, their receptionist was very attentive and came to assist us. I can see the urgency that they portrayed as guests stepped in to ask for something. My experience during the stay in Hard Rock Bali from checking-in to dining to using their services and facilities till checking-out </span><span style="font-size: large;">was pleasant and smooth. Thumbs up for that! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some other hotels that I've been especially when I handed a complimentary voucher, the response given from the staff could be mind blowing. Oh well.. probably in other countries including in Malaysia but that never happened in Bali. Infact, they are more delighted to start a conversation by asking how did i won with a congrats note of curiosity and a genuine smile. While keying in and preparing my room keys, I was told that due to overwhelming response of the occupancy that weekend, all deluxe room has been fully-booked AND that they have upgraded my room to a Premium Suite... i was like what? really? She was telling how lucky I am and congrats again before heading to me the keys. I guess I am lucky! :).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I walked towards the room, I take a look around and I've noticed that only my room door was having this yellow sign of . So i knocked few times (my usual routine before entering hotel rooms for the first time) and was shocked!. Instead of seeing beds it was a living hall with huge 55-60 inch flat screen tv and sofa sets. Wow..as i walked in, there were dining table of 6 and then a kitchen area complete with a fridge, sink, mini bar area and set of cutlery sets. It doesnt stop there, then I saw the king size bed with side bed and then the shower room, separated with a bath tub. Oh ya, i'm not done yet, they were double set of sinks with huge bathroom mirrors and finally a changing/make up room. I felt like I am staying in an exquisite apartment instead of a hotel room!. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The room was spacious and clean with great sound system for movie marathon! I really enjoyed the stay with my sisters and we also managed to grab the opportunity to have our picture taken by their photographer team at their iconic guitars arch on our 2nd day where we collected the free printout before check-out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Breakfast was also great with varieties of food served and all staff are never short of smile and always ready to assist us for any enquiry. At night, the rocking stage came to life and is always filled with entertainment rockstars streaming their guitars and banging drums with rhythm of euphoria. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I could not be more thankful than having this moment and experience with the people I love at my favorite place! Hard Rock Bali has certainly never fail to amaze me since i first set my foot here 10 years ago. The room and facilities might have refurbished and renew but their work culture and hospitality ..if not the same its just getting better! Till we meet again..xoxo. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">6 November 2016 -Today will be the first day of my amazing 7 days trek! I probably slept for 4 hours the night before. The bed was comfortable, the room temperature was just nice, my body was a little tired but as usual when I am travelling to a new place, I have problem sleeping or probably I was just too excited and anxious of the next line up. Right after breakfast, Alana and I decided to have a quick stroll by the lake. It was very peaceful and calming effect over here in Pokhara. I love how everything are structured here. The weather was simply perfect when I was there. And the best part of waking up is to look out of my hotel room window as my eyes were feasted with beautiful Annapurna Himalayan range from Fishtail to Annapurna South. The panoramic view from the rooftop of any guesthouse alone is a joy to my soul. I can just stand and stare at her beauty for hours. However, my excitement was short-lived as I have bigger goal to achieve here. I am on my way for an amazing 7 days journey of trekking into remote areas at the mountains and hopefully at the end I will finally witness and placed my two feet at the Annapurna Base Camp! My mission is about to start and boy I was excited!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Today mark the beginning of my trek and from this moment of, my mind was thinking one and only one mission which was to reach Annapurna Base Camp and return safely. Since everything was planned by Amigo Trek & Expedition, my guide Himal and porter, Basantha basically took care of our registration, lodging, meals, wellbeing and transportation. First we need to register at the Registration office just opposite the Police Station. Our driver droves us there which was just 10 minutes from our hotel. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Payment for the permit fee is 2,000 NR and it is included in the package (if you engaged the trek with a guide and porter. normally for 7-9 days trek it will cost you approximately USD500-600++). </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The process was quick and fast to get the permit since we were one of the early birds, within minutes, we are off to Nayapul. After 10 minutes drive and on our way to Napayapul, as usual, our guide, Himal will always remind us by asking this favorite Q - You got your passport with you? . Even though I just placed my passport in my file case before I went into the car, I couldn't help it but to just unzip my backpack and check again if my passport was really there. ok it was there..but suddenly I heard Alana shouted and said that her passport was not with her. ok panic started to kicks in but we told her to calm down and help her checked all the bags. then she remembered the counter registration reception didnt pass the passport to her after getting the permit. So we de-tour and went to the registration office again. During that ride, silence was the only company we had..Alana was worried that she looked restless. Then we just kept consoling her. immediately upon arrived, Himal went to check and Yes it was there..thank god. Alana`s expression turned 180 degree from worry to sigh of relief. I will too if it was me. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Then, our 2 hour ride was welcomed by the beautiful surroundings of paddy fields and snow capped mountains. By 1215pm we finally reached Nayapul.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We walked and walked under the scorching hotsun till it was 2pm and we stopped for lunch at Syauli Bazaar and then continue our trek to this beautiful Gurung village. Along the way, seems like I am the only one was busy snapping picture and admiring the surrounding beauty. I will normally stop to check out the unique scene that i normally dont see it anymore or have not seen it before. The rest was busy walking and I normally will ask them to go ahead first when they turned to check out if i am far off behind. The beauty of trekking is everyone have their own phase. And you dont have to rush or go too slow unless the weather stops you. That's how you connect with the nature and admire the scenic landscape. My knees who have been bothering me prior to this trip for weeks seems to behave really obediently. I am more than pleased and grateful to the Almighty for this miracle. Either my glucosamine intake has been working or my knee guards did a little help or it was just the pain decided to go away and let me have my moment during this trek. I am equally blessed and grateful for this. </span></div>

Read further because if its intrigue you, you may just wanna join me for this epic journey of the all unusual London!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We all have our own passion differently and travel would be the epitome of my escapade that i`m always looking forward to. I am always in the lookout for inspiration, discovery, exploration, magical and spiritual moment of solitude in every places I go. After all My motto is : <u>Dare to Dream and Live Life Interestingly</u>. So here goes of my 5 Interesting List to do of The Unusual London :</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><u><i style="background-color: white;">NUMBER 1 : 3 Peaks Challenge : Keeping your heart racing for more!</i></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So what is 3 Peaks challenge?? The 3 Peaks Challenge is an attempt to climb the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales in "one go", Gulp! By the sound itself, it seems to be a challenging feat but since I love hiking and would love to test my endurance as my usual trip/vacation will at least to have 1 hiking activity, I thought to myself "Why not?" </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The peaks are Ben Nevis In Scotland, Scafell Pike in England and Snowdon in Wales. There are also opening tours (private or guided tours) in 2017..just nice for me to participate if Daboss can look into my following proposal for this #MyTravelokaEscapade contest. I am already preparing for this kinda challenge as I have to go for trainings, hiking, trekking be it physically or mentally. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I would love to hike at this gorgeous landscape and upon reaching the peaks I would raise the <u>flag of Traveloka (ada tak?)</u> as an achievement memory pose. Cool kan? Kalau tak percaya, boleh check my other post in my Instagram feed with our Malaysian flag, username is @devidalildevil . i did some vlog and live update if i ever have the chance of connecting to the wifi. Recent attempt was a strenuous trek to the magical Himalayan range at Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And while I am appreciating with awe of the scenic landscape, I might just have my afternoon hot tea with scone spread with strawberry jam..aaahhh bliss with the fresh air up at the mountains! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the biggest Hindu temple also known as BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir will be a great visit and feel spiritually connected with the world of Hinduism. This majestic all white building is simply an iconic and many might have chosen to Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and many more but I would love to visit this amazing temple to experience different vibes. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have always wanted to try to sign up for a run overseas so why not try it while I am in the this city and for a good cause of course. To help fight against Dementia, a chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes cause by brain disease or injury and marked by memory disorders, personality changes and impaired reasoning like the Alzheimer's. And since the running route will normally pass by all the iconic buildings, I can also stay fit while enjoying the morning breeze with people of common interest for a good cause. I probably can easily make friends as my new running buddies too. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is something that will make a direct difference in the lives of children and families in their time of need. Jomlah daboss,, join sekali with me.. kita start training sekarang, ok? </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Who would have thought that being homeless is a bonus point for them to know all the secret path around London far more better than anyone else? And this tour guided by the homeless will probably change our mindset forever about homeless people too. Interesting eh? this is definitely not your average walking tour. check out their website (<a href="http://sockmobevents.org.uk/" target="_blank">Unseen Tours</a>) for more info and I am intrigue to choose the area called Shoreditch by Henry as the guide. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Aaahhh what do you know about Stonehenge? or How much do you know about it? My curiosity always running high with questions about this supernatural activities and it probably got to do with my fascination with the sci-fi tv series "X-files" since i was young. Do you remember Agent Scully and Agent Mulder? How the unsolved mysteries remain unsolved and their chemistry in the characteristic that they portrayed? mind blowing scene and how could i forgot their theme soundtrack keep haunting us at the end. Well, i do hope I could get a glimpse of this indescribable stones that were left unexplained in that positions. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Namaste! This word was frequently utter from my mouth and overly heard during my amazing journey of trekking to Annapurna Base Camp just few weeks ago. I was in Nepal from 5th Nov 2016 until 14th Nov 2016 and as much as I am always thankful & grateful with all the gifts, talents, skills and every good things that God have given to me, I am still over the moon with my recent winning prize. All thanks to Allianz for this all expenses paid trip to the land of the most friendliest people with craziness imaginary landscape of the sacred snowcapped mountains. I am at this very minute while writing this post, is still at the state of disbelief. I might have done something really noble to deserve this because it was an eye-opener, life-changing, surreal, inspiringly ignite every cells in my body and soul to absorb this powerful cosmic energy and feed into my brain that flow gently and willingly into my veins. As if the fresh air of that Himalayan range that I breath during that moment was carefully preserved in a storage tank in my aorta and it never will fade unless my time in this world are up. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Slept at 2am the night before my flight as I was doing last minute packing and managed to submit last minute contests entry.. hahaha.. woke up at 645am on 5th Nov 2016 (Saturday) and initially I wanted to take Putra LRT to KLsentral but since I check the traffic was smooth and I have almost 15kg load to carry, so i was thinking why not just Grab a taxi. Book a Grabtaxi and that rm17 ride to KLsentral with a friendly driver was an ease. Since I have prebooked the Skybus via AirAsia portal (slightly cheaper too or else it will be RM12 one way now from KLSENTRAL to KLIA2. As I ride on that bus, my mind was filled with anticipation and curiosity. I am afterall was mentally & physically prepared of what I`ve signed up for. I must admit that I was little worried as the time to depart getting nearer...many have asked me 1001 questions of me going there all by myself. I am fine going there without any company because I used to travel alone and I love meeting new friends but I did ask myself..what if after all the training and preparations, but at the end if mother nature didnt allow it..am i going to disappoint a lot of people out there? especially to the sponsors, my PT, my family or even myself... Lucky that I didnt allow that pressure to haunt me for long. I kept myself occupy with other important things and perhaps that was the whole idea to keep myself distracted with all this elements of 'what-if'. The fact that my knees was in pain and I've been resting for the past 3 weeks before my departure date had also added the worry pills even more. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I reached KLIA2 at 930am but to my horror, the queue for the baggage drop was crazy. As I was lining up and waiting, I've noticed that the queue are not moving and tourists group from China was everywhere on each lanes. I met a teacher from America, Cole who happen to have the same frustration and thank god after 45 minutes of waiting, we managed to slip into another lane that was opened for us to drop our check-in luggage. ok sigh of relief and I went to check out the Premium Lounge as my UOB credit card entitled me for a complimentary access. Nothing special so i just chilled for a while before entering the international departure hall. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Here goes..my adventures has finally begun...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Oh ya, Malaysians who plan to visit Nepal must obtain a tourist visa. You may opt to apply earlier at the Embassy of Nepal in Kuala Lumpur or upon arrival at the Kathmandu International Aiport. I've applied earlier as I have a domestic flight to catch from Kathmandu to Pokhara on the same day. I am quite skeptical if i could make it on time as I only have 1 hour time frame upon touch down. read further, because there were infact some drama upon arrival at Kathmandu..hahaha. Put that aside, to apply for a visa is quite simple-just download the form from this <a href="http://www.nepalembassy.com.my/downloads/visa_form.pdf" target="_blank">LINK</a> , print and complete the form and bring along your original passport, 1 passport sized photo with cash payment of RM95 (depends on currency rate) to apply. I applied for 15 days tourist entry visa and it was ready within 2 working days. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So as I entered the International Departure Hall, I bumped into Cole again with another 2 Nepalese. We were chatting and it was really sad to hear their unfortunate stories of how they have to run away and back to their homeland due to corruption, abuse and being bullied here in Malaysia. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, I am all set and then guess what..flight was delayed..(</span><strike><span style="font-size: large;">GREAT!) , </span></strike><span style="font-size: large;">so my 4 hours 25 minutes flight time was filled with listening to music, eating, dozing, drawing and thinking if i could make it for my domestic flight to Pokhara that afternoon. Once a while, I did peep by the window for some amazing snow-capped mountains view such as below :</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I still remembered to this very minute how the place get really crowded and people start swarming the place. All i could see was boxes of flat screen television and huge brown boxes wrapped with transparent tapes..either tv in Malaysia are selling way cheaper than in Nepal or am I missing something here? Anyway, while waiting, i tried asking around where is the domestic flight entrance and most of them told me that it will be on another building and need a little walking.. ok i kept looking at my watch and this is really not good. I am pretty sure I am going to miss my flight unless the flight are also delayed. Mind you that that will be the last flight of the day so if I really couldnt make it, I have to start thinking of Plan B, which to purchase the next available flight (only next morning) before taking a taxi to town and stayed for one night there. oh my..$$$ .. so i prayed hard that please there'll be miracle for me on that day. True enough, finally after an hour (3.30pm!!!!), my backpack arrived and I quickly ran toward the exit door only to be held by the guards as they will be checking our boarding pass and luggage tag to see if its a match. Probably because a lot cases of people taking someone else televisions ..i think so. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I did asked the guards where was the domestic flight building only to have a disappointed reply so I just walked out and realized there was this one old man stood there asking me 'taxi?'. i asked him "where's the domestic flight entrance as I have a flight to Pokhara" . So he asked what time is my flight. I said now 340pm. He then straight away said " Girl, you have to run as fast as you can as it will takes about 5-7 min distance and he then waved his hand forth and back (a sign which I understood pretty well), i said thank you before running as fast as i could with my 2 bagpacks and my eyes were wandering for that domestic flight departure building. I was panting, thirsty and tired. My mind was kept hoping and praying at the same time. Please god, let me catch this flight. As i was wandering and looking lost to look for that building, i kept a positive mind and asked around so that I didnt missed the path. Finally from afar i saw the domestic flight building and ran across a short cut, crossing over a fence at the parking lot and upon reaching the entrance, I just mentioned to the guard that I have a domestic flight to Pokhara now and placed my backpacks on the baggage scanning machine. As I carried my backpacks and looking for Yeti Airlines counter in that quite small airport. The minute I saw that counter, I quickly drop my bags on the floor and head towards the counter and while panting, I said I have a flight to Pokhara now. The counter lady was really helpful and thank god for that. She asked me to show my e-ticket and that was the only time that I couldnt search it in my organized document folder..Pffttttt...but she was quick to reach out the walkie talkie and told the other side to HOLD THE FLIGHT while she prepared the boarding pass for me. It happened so quickly that I didnt know if luck was really on my side or there was really an angel taking care of me. Apparently, the flight has not take off and she told me to carry my bags as handcarry and run straight to gate counter 2 and handover the boarding pass to me. I could only repeat the word thank you to her many times as i quickly took my bags and rush to the boarding gate. Oh man, another baggage scanner machine..the guard found out something and told me to explain what was it. I said that was my monopod and i am sorry but I am catching my already delayed flight to Pokhara now. He just looked at me..paused and then said oh okay..you may go. As I reached the gate after got my boarding pass stamped, I was told by the security there to hop on a charter bus. What a relief and I am really thankful that I managed to finally catch my domestic flight as I hop on the bus with 30 not so happy passangers looking back at me. Hey..i literally felt that i was part of a tamil/bollywood drama wei..and it is just my first day in Nepal!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The plane was small but enough to place my backpacks at the legroom and it was about 45 minutes time of self reflection i had in that place. Looking back, I could have missed the flight and on my way to Thamel town with USD140 gone for the next flight ticket purchased. Yeah I am forever grateful that it turned out to be just fine..so fine just like the view that i captured during that flight. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Upon landing, I was welcomed with amazing view of the Himalayan Range of snow capped mountains and slightly chilling at the Pokhara airport. I searched for the exit and there stood a guy holding a place card with my full name written on it.. aahhh must be my guide Himal. After brief introduction, he told me that the hotel will be just few minutes away and that I have another lady joining me for this trek. cool! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I will be staying just 1 night in Pokhara and will start my trekking the next day from Nayapul (2 hours drive from Pokhara). Himal introduced me to Alana (girl from Australia) at the hotel. Then, he told us that he need to explain and filter some of our stuff that we will bring during the trek as light and only important warmers are the key of this trek. And since i didnt have any passport sized photo to apply for my permit, he told me that he will show me the nearest photo shop after settling down all my stuff. Didnt want to waste any time, we unpack and repack our stuff. we combine into 1 bag all our important stuff for our next 7 days trek while the rest we just kept into another bagpack to be kept at the hotel. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After that I went with Himal to the nearest shop to get my passport sized photos taken. Then, I decided to walk around alone to get some postcards before taking my dinner at this cosy restaurant just opposite the famous lake. I starting to love Pokhara for its calm and tranquility but I will save this as I will be back to Pokhara after my last day of trekking. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey ya! It has been a while since I last updated my blog. And this morning as I was driving to work, my enthusiastic cells decided to work diligently by gathering all the other veins,cells, senses and molecules in my entire body to at least write and publish 1 post. So there, thanks for the motivation, appreciate that, brain cells. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just few months ago (26 May 2016 to be exact as it was just 3 days away from the due date of the contest), I've managed to finish up a simple video of me doing exercise routines following the first 3 letters of my name and posted it in Instagram. And who would have thought that this 60-second video basically going to uplift my 2016 dream resolution into another level of anticipation and probably going to make my life-changing even more interesting, which I think it's already is...coz I always count my blessing..:) The motivation behind the video was pretty much of my fetish towards snow-capped mountains are getting intense..So intense that i felt it going to explode like the volcanic mountains around Indonesia that happened really frequent lately. I wanted to visit Annapurna and complete the trek to the Base Camp at Nepal, Kathmandu. I've always adore mountains and rainforest plus things related to mother nature. Afterall I was born and bred in a small hometown of Mentakab where climbing trees was one of my favorite pastime with my brothers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, thanks to the initiative campaign by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/allianz-malaysia/allianz-malaysia-allianzdare2bhealthy-resolution-campaigns-campaigns-terms-and-c/1054864547885749" target="_blank">Allianz under their Dare 2B Healthy</a> , I make my time to complete the video with my trusted Iphone6 after my normal jog at the rooftop. </span></div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P7b0d9oYMWw" width="640"></iframe>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't pay much attention to the result as I saw few other great entries too and it was already almost 200 people joined in. But not until on 15 June 2016 where I received a prompt in my social media inbox and I was informed that I was shortlisted..There have picked 6 entries and only top 3 will be the ultimate winners. One week later, taddaaaa... I was chosen as one of the top 3. yeahhh.. thanks a lot for this opportunity Allianz. .</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And with that my<i> #devijourney2annapurna </i>would be my motivation factor where I will not only get the chance to be trained by a personal trainer for 6-month to equip myself for the preparation but also an all expenses-paid trip to fulfill my dream resolution. Wow! I was just about to plan and book a return flight for a trip to Nepal somewhere in March 2017 but now the opportunity just came in at the right time right moment. :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This going to be my year of adventure and who knows life-changing trip. Simply cant wait. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It has been almost 5 months plus now that I've undergone training which includes carrying weights, hiking, running, cardio and even swimming...I've discovered a lot of things about myself during these period and it has changed me gradually for a fitter, better (except for my knees pain this past weeks which I am recuperating). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you again </span><span style="font-size: large;">Allianz team (CEO- Joseph Gross, Joannica, Shu Chee, Ashreena and the rest), Misteeq Media team (Pramodh, Mal and Jo), my good looking personal trainer :P , Subash Adrian, of course to all my old and new friends that have been really supportive throughout this journey and last but not least my biggest motivation- My beloved family! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Tabur Hill @ Bukit Tabur is widely known by the local here in Melawati as the Dangerous Cliff with Beautiful View..ok i just made that up but it is also known as Bukit Hangus by the local. Anyway, Tabur Hill has been a favorite spot for hikers which consist of East, West, Far East, Extra and Extreme. Some come here to see for themselves </span><span style="font-size: large;">and perhaps update their social media platforms</span><span style="font-size: large;">, some are just following their friends while some just want to be closer with the nature. Either way, hiking trail at Bukit Tabur is quite dangerous as there has been many incidents about hikers falling and broke part of their bones and also the fatal mishaps. So be extra vigilant when you are hiking here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tabur Hill is very prominent and most Setapakian / Melawatian can actually witness this hill from the balcony of their home. As it is part of Klang Gates Dam, reaching the peak would be a spectacular panoramic view of the city of Kuala Lumpur on your left and The Klang Gate Dam on your right, depending which side are you standing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So last Sunday, I was invited by Kak B to join Komplot Hikers to hike this magnificent hill. I've hiked Tabur Hill in 2007 twice but at that time, I cant remembered if it was West or East. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our meeting point was at BHP Melawati at 4am and we supposed to start hiking by 5am. I went to the wrong BHP but finally managed to reach the right meeting point at 415am. But since we have to wait for another 3 persons which only arrived at almost 5am, the hiking only started at 530am. meanwhile I was kinda hungry so I ate an apple for energy. :P . We parked at the foothill of tabur and did some stretching before starting the hike. It was pitch dark and as I took my headlamp and look up, I could spot moving lights at the peak of East Tabur. Wow, this guys are pretty fast. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our team was led by Zack and off we hike, one step at a time. It was pitch dark when we started and our head lamp was the only source for us to look at our path. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It was straight up till we reached to a point where upper physical strength are required. The steep rocky climb is not something to take it lightly. Always be careful with the steps that you are taking and even though there were ropes provided but my instinct have some 'trust issue' with the ropes. Anyway, while i was climbing up, i could see the skies turning from black to dark blueish. And as I was looking down to place my feet for support at the small curve of the rocks, my headlamp bumped into the rock and the cap felt off trembling down together with the batteries. Oppss..ok i am not going down to pick it up right now, so since the day are getting brighter, i thought oh well just forget it. But Zack who was leaning on the rocks few metres away told me to get someone at the bottom to collect it for me. So i shouted and told Bryan and Mas who was still at the bottom to please collect it for me. And i continued to climb till i finally reached the peak of East Tabur. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks to a contest organized by DragonRun instagram official and Linora Low, I've managed to score the grand prize of 2D1N stay in First World Genting plus a pair of passes to the Dragon Run / Martial Arts inspired kinda run. It has been closed to a year since I started engaged myself into running outdoor actively. 19 runs including the Dragon Run yesterday and still counting :) Who would of thought that this katak biru was once a person who despise running infact running for more than 400metre was consider a big struggle. I was active in sports during my primary but not really after high school..oh well I'm glad that its never too late to start something good. And not only I get to find new passion but also feeling good about it. So, come on guyz, whatever things that you have been wanting to try, dont keep it hanging there. Go and unleash your <strike>DRAGON </strike>dreams now! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Orait, back to what had happen yesterday. With 6km+ running uphill and downhill while going through > 7 obstacles, my Saturday yesterday was nothing short of exhilarating moment of breaking all my thrill cells in my body. Grace and I check-in </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">at First World Genting on Friday evening. We took the cable car from the Genting Skyway and it only cost RM6.40 one way. It was Grace's first time taking the cable car.. like seriously? .</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The stay was cool, clean and simple as it was quite new located at Tower 3. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have always wanted to visit Sg Lembing since like 5 years ago but since procrastination has been my biggest foe, it kept delaying my schedule. Not till last 2 weeks ago, ive decided ok enuff is enuff, time to plan a road trip whether I have enough numbers or not, I dont care, Im going..muahaha...Probably 2016 resolution really kicks in good in my cerebrum. So after checking with few groups of friends, a couple of homestay in Sg Lembing, read some blogs, whatsapping friends who are available in conjunction with Thaipusam's holiday and with last year balance of annual leave to clear, the plan finally became a reality. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Since i've flooded my insta and fb with what to do, where to eat, who to contact and how to go there, many have messaged me privately asking for itinerary and interested to join in the near future, so here you are a simple guide for you guyz. Bear in mind that it was 3 of us, so the costing was divided by 3 and we did not want to rush so we really took our sweet time to venture Sg Lembing, talk with the locals, make some new friends, get closer with the nature and also chilling while we can. So it was really a fun trip with a lot of amazing discoveries. I didnt know a lot of stuff about Sg Lembing before, but now it makes me want to explore further this quiet town where it was once the most profitable underground Tin Mine of the world. Thanks Zue and <a href="http://www.ayuejean.com/" target="_blank">Ayue</a> for the company and fun. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After a good 7 solid hours of sleep the night before, I woke up by my alarm to continue our 3rd day of adventure journey. I am pretty excited of what ahead of us. It has been quite some time since I last have this itch feeling of anticipation where everything are full of surprises and venturing into the unknown can be equally exciting and anxious at the same time. Since the hot shower is not working, the morning bath was as cold as the morning breeze. It was just 430am when we started our journey, still slightly dark but the morning ride was quite a smooth one. We reminisced the moment back in 2013 during "My Selangor Story" blogging competition held in Selangor and also some reflection on our personal life, career, passion and travel along the way. We shared a lot of common interest on religion, principle of life and no wonder we can get along quite well instantly when we first meet in 2013. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ericka recommended our next destination not only because she herself has not been there but it has been dubbed as the "Africa of East Java".so it must be quite interesting for fellow malaysian like me to witness something that I dont often get the chance to see back home.Yes you got it right if you have guessed it as Baluran National Park. It it located about 86km far east from Pasir Putih and the 2 hours journey given us the chance to enjoy the beautiful coastline view as the sun started to rise. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Finally after 2 hours, we reached the Baluran National Park only to bedisappointed with the unkempt arch and an unwelcoming entrance. Both of us was quick to judge that this not going to be good..either the place has been closed or we just out of luck..sigh... monkeys were everywhere and it seems like they were not pleased with our presence. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We came down to look around incase there are people that we could ask for. But the monkeys started running towards us and we decided to drive out and check out with the locals. As we drove out, suddenly few metres away we saw this and we thought...oh..so that was either the old entrance or the back exit.. Anyway after asking the guard, we were happy that the this national park consisting of 25,000 acres land is indeed still up and running. :) What a sigh of relief. We drove in and purchase our tickets. They probably thought I was one of the locals because the tickets they charged was for 2 local adults..hehee..Trima kasih mas! instead of paying 235k (RM71) rupiah, I only paid 7500 (RM2.2)..that's almost ..well. you do the math. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And so my first experience of going on a 'safari' begins. The road were bumpy with stones and we were surrounded by bushes and dried trees exactly like the savannah in Africa. the only thing missing was the giraffe and the Masai tribe. the heat was over the top. Our stomach was hungry but coming to a place like this for the very first time, we were excited to stop the car at few stops to take picture and checking out the place. There were only chickens and monkeys around. They even pooped on the windscreen of the car. hahaha. Would like to recommend to those who wish to visit this place, please wear sunscreen, shades and drive using 4x4 because some cars might not able to go through it. Walking will be a crazy feat even though it is doable..but not under this hot weather. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm amazed how this canvas beauty in East Java is a mirror image of what I used to watch in National Geographic channel of The Wilderness. I guessed my 'Wildest Dream" came true that very day. It might lacking of some herd of giraffe, elephants or even the Maori's , but still it is a sight I will not forget. Indonesia is a wonderful place to visit because imagine i was from a cold, sulfuric volcanic mountain the day before and now I was here in a savannah dry land.. amazing! </span></div>

Climbing trees has been a fetish of mine, I have always wanted to built a <u>Treehouse</u> since I was young. call me crazy but trees are like the source of my excitement..especially big huge trees with unique branches..you know like how kids enter into a candy store.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Without rest after the highly anticipation of conquering that deadly acidic crater lake of Ijen, we head down to Bondowoso. Bondowoso, another regency of East java and also Ericka's hometown, which are filled with secret gem and mysterious charm. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On the way down, we saw a mini waterfall and as I was looking at Ericka, she straight away knew that I would love to check out the place, so she did a short detour and stopped for us. :) thanks babe. It is the Kali Pahit Waterfall. The water is acidic and as you wash your face, you'll find it tingling like small pins and needles poking your face. </span><br />

sarapan pagi, kami bertolak ke Mount Cook dari Bandar Christchurch yang
mengambil masa lebih kurang 2.5 jam. Setelah sampai di perkampungan Aoraki
Mount Cook (3,754 m dari aras laut),
kami terus terpegun! Berdasarkan lagenda Kaum Maori, Aoraki (dikenali sebagai
puncak tertinggi di NZ) merupakan seorang budak lelaki yang terkandas di dasar
laut dengan perahunya, Te Waka a Aoraki. Aoraki dan abang-abangnya cuba untuk
memanjat ke tebing yang lebih tinggi tetapi angin selatan yang sejuk telah
membekukan mereka dan bertukar menjadi batu yang menghasilkan Banjaran Alps/Ka
Tiritiri o te Moana. Pada tahun 1851, Captain JL Stokes yang berlayar ke arah
Barat Daya menemui puncak tersebut dan menamakan ia sebagai Mount Cook, sempena
memperingati Kapten James Cook. Itulah alkisahnya.. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last week was probably one of the longest wait i've anticipated since i last clicked that AirAsia "Submit Payment" button for a unplanned trip of my lifetime..well i've been to many "spontaneous" trip before, but this was booked 379 days ago and which I do not have a single clue on what to expect or what to see or even where to stay. It's all started when last year (2014), Ericka and I was chatting online on going for an adventure together and she offered me to join a hiking trip to this "much less talked-about" volcanic mountain in Surabaya compared to Bromo happening in end of November. Coincidentally, AirAsia is having free seats promo at that time, so I quickly set the date and month to book while chatting with her. I didnt managed to get the free seats but booking that return flight to Surabaya worth RM302 was one of the best decision I've made. The thing is, Ericka and I was having communication breakdown because all this long while we were chatting, my mind was thinking about 2015 while Ericka was thinking about the present which was 2014 even after I have send to her my confirmation flight details. oohhh geezz..and we only realized when she texted me on whatsapp a week later.. am i coming? ahaks! then we both started to laugh. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, as time flies, the wait has finally arrived. 20 November 2015, I took that kinda-scary flight because the turbulence was quite bad and my mind was running with craziness images of something that i dont even wanna think of . But all went well, and as I approaching the exit door after immigration, Ericka was waiting there with her big huge smile. We last met in 2013! Great that Ericka has also arranged with another 4 travellers, Vincent, Ilenia, Petra & Essi for Ijen Crater. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We get along very easily and since Mount Bromo was closed due to active reaction and increasing of volcanic dust, we have to skip that mystical mountain..too bad..i was really hoping to get a glimpse of Mount Bromo. Anyway, Surabaya offered me even better deal, something better than the unexpected, something unfamiliar, somewhere exotic, something that was literally blown my imagination away and leaving me nothing but breathless..literally. And then, all 6 of us were on a long road trip from Surabaya city to a small town called Bondowoso about 272km away which took us almost 6 hours to arrive as there were massive traffic along the way and we also did a pitstop for late lunch (Tongas Asri, KM84 Probolinggo) plus toilet break in between. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ericka was kind enough to arrange for us to chill at her place before we continued for another 2 hours road trip to Ijen Crater for one of the greatest scenery and adventure of my lifetime. If you would like to arrange for a trip to Ijen Crater, i recommend you to take 4WD tour arranged locally. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As we arrived at Ericka's home, the skies were so dark even though it was only 6pm. Ericka suggested to us to take some rest as we will only be leaving by 10pm so that we could reached at the foot of mount Ijen before midnite. And we can start hiking by 1am. Ilenia and I decided to skip dinner as we were not hungry and too tired, so we took a nap while the rest when out to hunt for some food. After shower, I just give myself a good rest after a long week of not getting enough sleep as i was busy with work and finishing up my blog for TSDAYout. But I didnt managed to sleep, probably because i didnt know what to expect, a little anxious, excited, fear and everything in no particular order. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">By 10pm, all of us are ready to rock the road. It was Ericka's first time driving to that place. She follow other guides to Ijen before this but it was during the day. We passed by really creepy road with no street light except for our beam lights accompanied by white stripes painted trees. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are times where the road condition was really bad and we prayed that the tyre and suspension will put us through till we reached the destination. I really need to give my hats off to Ericka for her driving skills that put shame to every men out there. And by the way, she was driving manual. There are times when we were driving uphill while there are times we were going downhill and some were winding road that Ericka keep honking as an alert incase there were cars coming from the opposite direction. It was exhilarating, our hearts did skipped a beat when suddenly the car stop as we passed by some loopholes in the middle of the night, pitch dark with no single reception line. I felt like i was on a ride of a horror movie. And as usual, when entering an unfamiliar territory especially in the deep jungle, I will normally humbly ask for permission. I guessed everything went well since i am still alive sitting here while I'm recollecting every pieces of the segment of that Friday night. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We have to pass by 4 check-points before reaching the foot of Mount Ijen. Each check points, we need to write our names at the log book and Ericka told me to place in 5,000 rupiah as token. It was freaking cold as I came out of the car for the next check point. I tried to greet and speak Indonesian language to the guards for easy entrance flow. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Upon reaching the destination, we went straight to the loo..again. hahah.. it was freaking cold and i quickly put on my jackets, beanie hat and another layer of pants. I could literally feel it in my bones. We were one of the early birds and we saw people started to pouring in with motorbikes. it was 1130pm and we wanted to start hiking when suddenly was stopped by the locals. They said that we can only start hiking after the ticket counter is open, which will be only after 230am. We were like looking at each other, puzzled coz didnt realized this as we thought we could start hiking immediately. so what do we do now? Sleep in the car! it was like bursting aircond with the wind </span></span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">outside of the car </span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">so we went in and took a nap. I managed to doze off for 1hour 40 min before waking up due to the cold weather and was suddenly feeling hungry. Lucky that I managed to buy chocolate buns from Ericka's mum grocery shop earlier. That buns kept me and Ilena enough energy to hike during that wee hours. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">While munching the chocolate bun, i could see that people start flocking the ticket counter. We decided to go for another loo break as it was closed to 215am.</span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;"> At a</span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">nytime the counter will be opened now and we are ready to hike as according to the locals, the blue fire/flame can only be witnessed during the night up to 430am as it will disappeared once the sun is up. W</span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">e paid 100,000 IDR for the entrance fee and bid goodbye to Ericka as she will have to rest and continue her sleep in the car for she has been driving the whole day for us. It was so dark and cold plus dusty..my headlamp was the light that guided me for that quiet night. I looked up and I could see million stars of the milky way. Still blurred after the power nap, I covered my face with headbuff and instantly I got hit with running nose. hahaaa..but it was just temporary. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We started hiking together but Petra, Essi and Ilenia were like speedy Gonzales so I told them to go ahead. Vincent and I took our own phase as we didnt want to rush. The path are pretty obvious uphill so you dont really need a guide. Just be extra careful of cliff way. There are moment when we are going uphill, while there are route when it was flat land, but after 30 minutes of uphill, I started to sweat and feeling warm, so I took out my wind-breaker. My heart are racing just like "boom clap" the sound of my beating heart. While hiking, slowly there was one local guy came walking with us and he introduced himself as Adi. Ericka did warned us to be extra careful with scam and mafia around.

<span style="font-size: large;">And I thought I was being cheated when I saw the sign post at that prohibited point. I really thought that blue fire as what written in the google was just a gimmick for us to hike all the way here and only to find out that we are not allowed to go further than this point. Well, the hike is not over, infact it is just the beginning of another phase of solid rock with steps of dangerous path. There's where when we decided to take Adi's offer and rent the face mask as our head buff definitely not going to help our lungs to stay healthy for the next hours. We paid 60,000 IDR per person and Adi helped us to lead the path of slippery downhill. Vincent keep asking are we there yet? When Adi said 5 minutes, that means we should be reaching there in 15 minutes. hahaha even though it was only 3km but that was quite a special 3km i have ever hike apart from Mount Kinabalu. </span><br />

Witnessing the blue flames with its glorious heat, where the blue flames seems to be like a dancing wave gracefully, almost seductively in that pitch dark moutain was something special. A rare sight to be told.. The only 'camera' that could captured clearly and vividly this craziness imaginary scene on that indescribably morning was my eyes. And as I breath profusely via the mask as suddenly I was 'attacked' by this thick sulfuric smoke, I really live the moment with great appreciation of Mother Nature. I could only paint a smile of satisfaction in my heart. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">And why did I have to post the above photo? Because within minutes later (even after all the guides shouted to some of the tourists up there to come down but too stubborn to listen), the heavy smoke actually turned towards one of the tourists up there and suddenly we heard loud screaming asking for help and the voices seems to be trembling down. The heavy smoke made us difficult to see and check what had happened. I could only hear the screaming getting louder when suddenly a man appearing from the heavy smoke..I was shocked to see half of his face was bleeding with his eyes closed and was burned in black. I just couldn't look at him (dizziness starts to kicks in), but i've managed to offer a bottle of my mineral water to him and walk away. Few guides was trying to help but nothing can be done because there were no first aid kit. Lucky that he didnt go blind, he fell straight to the burning sulfur lava when the heavy smoke turns towards him. The gas are poisonous and I can tell that it really feel like sharp burning hot sensation penetrating your eyes when I get closer to take a glimpse of the fire. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The sun started to rise and Adi told us to follow him because he want to show us the crater lake..oh ya almost forgot since we are too engrossed on the epic blue fire which slowly disappeared as it was getting bright. We stayed there till 5am to enjoy the most mind boggling picturesque scene I've ever experienced. This is better than I've expected. If you have the chance, please.. experience this at least once in your lifetime. It was purely like the scene of the movie Lord of the Rings and I felt like I was out of this world..to the miners, this place might be a norm but to me it was one of amazing place that calm my soul. the climb was simply worth the effort. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I took out my mask and enjoyed the moment there while cool air breeze gripping my soul delightfully. The moment was perfect - exotic, beautiful, nice weather and a view that I couldnt ask for more. My fetish towards mountains, hills and nature is in the state of binging without guilty conscious and its getting intense as day goes by. Standing at 2,799m at the rim of the crater with one kilometre wide turquoise colored lake, Ijen has been recognized as the <u>largest highly acidic crater lake in the world. </u>So if you would like to ask me if anyone has swim at this lake before, well think again. </span><br />

I kept thanking her for showing me a whole new world of hauntingly beautiful blue fire with blue crater lake. That 379 days of waiting was finally worth it. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Mother nature never fails to amaze me. And especially with the diversification of abundance natural resources in Sarawak, you can never be short of interesting places to see and visit here. It was our final day of TSDAYout special edition of Selangor meets Sarawak. Well it is close to end of my 4D3N journey, a little bittersweet as we had so much fun during this trip. We were not only given the privilege to witness the hundreds years cave with mystical features but made strong bonding and friendship among us that was simple captivating. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, first up after hefty breakfast that morning, off we went to Fairy Cave located at Bau, Sarawak. Fairy Cave was actually a former gold mining settlement about 40km from Kuching. Guess how much was the entrance fee??? Only 1 ringgit. yes you got that right.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are many formations that you can see and explore and photo opportunities or even for meditation as well :) There are some unusual stalactites and stalagmites that were formed over thousands of years ago. It is quite dark as we entered into certain area, so please bring along torchlight and wear a proper walking shoes as it can be quite slippery.</span><br />

Offering a varieties of distinctive formation that was effortlessly phenomenal. As I switched on my "torch apps" of my Iphone, the pitch dark cave suddenly came alive with squeaking voices of bats and echo of steps as we walked. Don't worry if you do not have any torch, you may rent the head lamp for RM3. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We were so hungry after climbing all the stairs and exploring the cave in the dark with bats and creepy crawler. But overall it was an unique experience, no guide is necessary as long as you walk along the wooden bridge or walkway. Just remember to bring along a torch and wear a proper walking shoes as it might be slippery. At noon, we were back in Kuching town for indian buffet lunch at Bombay Palace Restaurant..yummy briyani with chicken curries and naan. After a satisfying lunch, we head to the highest floor of the same building where Bombay Palace located to purchase the famous layers cake also known as Kek Lapis. RM10 per piece and the fragrance simply immerse few metres from the bakery shop. The vibrant colors of Kek Lapis is probably one of the signature of a must-have souvenir for friends and family back home. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before we leave to the airport, we took our last Kuching town tour by visiting the Museum. No picture are allowed inside but I reckon everyone who would love to know more about the history of Sarawak, please visit this place. Not only it is free but a lot of information in the form of text, article, artifacts and mini theater display. It's amazing to learn about the tribe and ethnic groups with the replica of long house inside the museum. Thumbs up for retaining such great compilation! Definitely a great tour especially for students and tourists. And then it was almost time's up as we have a flight to catch. Time to bid goodbye but I am pretty sure that I left nothing there except for my footprints at the land of Hornbills. I will be back, perhaps for my long overdue wish to return for the Rainforest World Music Festival in Aug 2016!. Adios everyone!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Are you up for an adventure but do not know where and what to do while you are in Kuching, Sarawak? Well fret not, grab some popcorn and read further because this is not your typical activity I am about to introduce. First up, have you try Kayaking? I am sure some of you might have done while some of you might not have. Kayaking is quite common at the sea but this highly recommended on Tripadvisor activity is not your average deal because it involves Semadang river of 11km stretch that will commute you back to nature and serenity with pitstop of mini waterfall, Danu Village, Caving area, Mini Cave and Fish feeding area. You will not only experience Sarawak rainforest at its best when you paddle down Semadang river on a kayak. So d</span><span style="font-size: large;">o you even know where is Semadang? aahhh.. honestly I did not know the existence of this place until recently. Thanks to Tourism Selangor with the collaboration of Sarawak Tourism Board, all of us get the chance to experience an expedition where not only we've discovered this paradise, but the friendly people and most importantly my love-hate relationship with water based activities. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">You see, I can't swim and I am certainly not a beach/sea/river person however I love the outdoor and adventurous activities especially if it is surrounded by the seductive jungles with lots of trees, mountains, hills and mother nature. So back to Semadang river, it is located in the heart of Borneo Highland, about 40 minutes from Kuching town and Semadang Discovery Kayaking is definitely one of the best kayaking experience i've ever tried - (<strike>minus the long journey under the scorching sun) . </strike> Operated and owned by family business under the name of <a href="http://www.semadangkayak.com/" target="_blank">Semadang Borneo Adventure Sdn Bhd</a>, there are also several packages offered to the public including Klasik Bamboo Rafting, Kayaking & Caving Combo and Added Orang Utan tour. What I like about the operator is firstly it is run by certified river guides, then life jacket, dry bag (1st time ever because normally most operator do not provide this!) and water bottles are provided, to top it off, they also will help you to take photos (candid with craziness overload, dry or wet) with photo CD / dropbox immediately after the activity and last but not least - authentic Sarawakian home cooked food served as lunch. yummmy! okay check out some of the photos taken either by Semadang River Adventure or using my Iphone6. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After short briefing by the guides - Mackenzie and Edward, we were advised to find our own partner and start kayaking with the lead of other guides ahead of us. Syed Ali (local drama actor) teamed up with me and we were the first to be released to the river. At one point I felt like I am preparing myself for a kayaking competition hahaha ..especially when Syed keep counting 1,2 ..1,2 1.2.. but anyway it was quite fun teaming up with him because he loves to crack jokes and shared some of his story while kayaking along the river. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then as we continued our journey towards this end of the 11km stretch, it started to rain really heavily. We were not only drenched wet but was shivering as we need to wait the rain to stop before getting changed to dry clothes. But while waiting, few of us just continued playing under the rain. Simply reminded me of my amazing childhood memories and I joined in as well hahaa. How often do we play under the rain nowadays, especially in concrete jungle--NONE for sure!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway the Semadang Kayaking was really an eye opener experience. We were not only getting closer to the nature but also creating great bonding moments among the bloggers, media and staff of Tourism Selangor. it was amazing how we were just strangers on the first day but became buddies and shared the same connection instantly after this adventure!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Finally after the rain subside, we changed to dry clothes and head back to our hotel. Dinner tonite will be at Sarakraf Pavilion and it is also mark the final night of our 4D3N TSDAYout Special Edition : Selangor meets Sarawak. There will be also a prize giving ceremony as they will be announcing the winners during <a href="http://devidalildevil.blogspot.my/2015/11/tsdayout-amazing-race-heritage-walk.html" target="_blank">Amazing Race @ Heritage Trail </a>and Instagram as well. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">I'm that type of girl that fancy mountains than beach and I can just stop and stare at this magnificent Santubong mountain which I've managed to hike till the top in 2007.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">Because I could not stop staring at this beautiful site, I noticed that I am going to be late for breakfast as we supposed to depart by 8am. So after light breakfast, we are off to another unique destination to witness orang utan conservation centre which was about 20-30 minutes drive from Imperial Hotel. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Upon arrival, we were told not to make any noise as this will chase away the orang utan. Typically, orang utan are well known to be a shy-type animal and even though these semi-wild species spend most of the time roaming around this forest but there are no guarantee they will appear during feeding times. Hopefully it will be our lucky day! As I entered and passed by the trail for about 10 minutes walk, I could not help it but to enjoy the beautiful lush greenery this place could offer. I visited this wildlife centre before in 2006 and at that time, not much development was made. They do not have any proper shelter for visitors to sit or watch the orang utan and they certainly have not built the Gallery hut where they kept all of the birth & death certificate of these orang utans. Definitely worth re-visiting this place as I get to see the improvement made to sustain this wildlife centre. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Upon reaching to the spot-watching of the orang utan, there's this one senior guide was giving briefing on what to expect and that we should remain quiet as noise might chase them away. Also not to use flash when taking pictures. Waited for almost 25 minutes, then I thought to myself..probably today might not be our lucky day. But after several attempt of calling and imitating the voice of the orang utan by the guide, finally, one after another of the orang utan approach slowly and came very close to the feeding platform and the visitor areas. It was really a close encounter with the wild and semi-wild orang utan. The last i've seen in 2006 was like 200 metres away. But this was almost few metres away hanging above us on the branches of a tree. Amazing! Suddenly i felt it was like a scene from Planet of the Apes. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">Enjoy the video below specially created for you out there who perhaps after this, would like to make a trip there to Semenggoh Wildlife Centre. Even if you did not have any plans, I recommend you to start making one because for over 30 years, Semenggoh's staff trained young orang utans who had been orphaned or rescued from captivity to survive in the wild. It is now used as an orang utan study centre, but still a lifelong home for its successful graduates, semi wild orangutans and their offspring. They spend most their time roaming in the forest but frequently come back to the centre for free meals during feeding times.</span><br />

Well we can only plan, but if its not meant to be, then it will not meant to be. Nothing dramatic, we just missed our flight. Like seriously?? hahaa.. okay it might sound a little more dramatic than you thought but during crisis like this that we get to see the real deal on how people react and respond to a sticky situation that I am about to tell you guyz. Don't worry, its was an experience and simply an added spicy masala like our curries we had the day before at Klang town. hahaa..well at least I have a story to be told! Read up!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It was 5 am in the morning and all of us gathered at the Lobby of Empire Hotel. Our coach has arrived to fetch us to KLIA2 with packed breakfast of sandwiches, breads, mineral and mango juice prepared by Empire Hotel, how thoughtful. Thank you! :) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We arrived early however due to some technical glitch, we could not board in time. Because of that, we missed our flight. Sad case, right? While some managed to board on a separate flight, some of us were 'stranded' at the airport. Well..in time like this, I really need to give my hats off to all of the staff of Tourism Selangor especially Renu and Sazlan who were there with us and try to sort things out plus not forgetting Saad, Naz, Husna and Hanip who were on the other side of Peninsular Malaysia that constantly keep asking our whereabout and updating us via whatsapp group. Not only the available seats are limited but we are running out of time to re-book the flight. However, with God's grace, after few hours of <strike>snoring, </strike>chatting and having our delicious brunch at the food court, we finally received great news that we are ready to board again at 1230pm..phew! ohh Air Asia, Thank you for living your motto..everyone can fly!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Oh my..finally after 8 years I am here again in Sarawak! With its beautiful blue skies and tropical breeze, Sarawak simply hold a special place in my heart. Ooze with magical beauty of nature and a gateway to vast wilderness, my curiosity was running high like the soaring kites when I get the chance to attend the Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) in Sarawak for the first time in 2005. And ever since then, I simply love the diversity of the celebration by world renowned musician at the foot of Mount Santubong with just a stone away from the soft powdery sand of Permai Beach, I repeated my involvement in 2006 and 2007 respectively. That was a mind blowing concert right in the middle of the deep forest! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">People of different ethnics, races, religions and cultures, I am ready for my Sarawak adventure! So first up, we were given 30 minutes to wander around Kuching Waterfront. A visit to Kuching would not be complete if you have not visit the famous Waterfront. It is also known as the People Place among the locals. Almost everything that you need can be found along these streets beside few attractions including monument to honor the late Charles Brooke and the oldest Chinese temple in Kuching, Tua Pek Kong Temple.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The sunset river cruise that lasted for almost 2 hours of exquisite leisure ride with local music instruments being played and also with running commentary on iconic and historical landmarks through the sound system is very educational. It will also give you an insight of the changes and development of river-line of Kuching. With clean toilets provided at the lower deck, you dont have to worry incase if you been drinking too much of their free flow of mango juices.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We ended our sunset river cruise with a lovely stop back to the jetty. I would love to recommend to those who are in Sarawak and have a spare 2 hours or so to try this Sunset River Cruise. Certainly a great way to relax while experience the charms of beautiful moment. It will be slightly packed during weekends, so please make a reservation to avoid any disappointment. Fee is about RM60 per pax.

<span style="font-size: large;">And if you are in Kuching, the night would not be complete without going for a scrumptious dinner at the famous Makan place called TOPSPOT. I guessed almost everyone in the city knows about this place and since it is so famous, you got to try their food here. From local vegetable like Midin (fernleaf shaped) to fried oyster to local seafood dishes, your diet will have to wait. </span></div>

But Adam and I followed Hanip of Tourism Selangor to their office in Shah Alam coz we plan to get our cars <u>out</u> of MBSA. I've decided to drive back and park my 'Raoul' at Setapak, then to take the KTM to Subang Jaya later tonite after dinner while Adam decided to park his car at Empire Hotel and drive directly to KLIA2 the next morning as he has his own 'parking lot' there. We need to rush from MBSA to Empire Hotel because all participants are required to submit completed forms and required items including photos taken during the earlier Heritage Trail by 4pm. Sempat berselfie lagi upon arrival at Empire Hotel that afternoon.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Dinner was at Kitchen Art Brasserie with varieties of Asian Delight spread from Mongolia, Indonesia to local states in Malaysia likes from the Kelantan, Terengganu and Sarawak. yummy.. with the spirit of Halloween, all decorations on desserts are very ghostly looking but still maintain its cuteness overload. Observed the ceiling of the dining area, like a wooden wave that captured my attention the minute I walked in. Their interior design really pay much attention to all this details and that is why it was not a surprised that Empire is one of the hotels that offer great wedding set-up theme packages around town. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">So after dinner while it was raining really heavily with thunderstorm, i've braced myself and drove all the way from Subang to Setapak. Then, thank goodness my housemate, Pooi Yan was around as she dropped me off at Wangsa Maju LRT. I took the train direct to KLSentral and exchanged to Komuter KTM from to Subang Jaya. By the time i reached Subang Jaya it was already 11pm and drizzling. Thanks to Adam that offered to fetch me from Subang Jaya KTM to Empire Hotel. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">When I reached hotel room, my roommate, Ayue already fast asleep. Probably also because of the cosy bed with the right room temperature. Aaahh...finally i could land myself on the comfy bed for few hours before waking up at 4am. Wait for my next post, because i am finally flying off to Kuching, Sarawak since I last visited this land of Hornbills in 2007 for the Rainforest World Musical Festival! Wow 8 years has passed and im pretty sure a lot have changed. So excited! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My dear Selangorians, so how well do you really know about Selangor? You might know every alley, roads or nook of spots to eat, dine or even places to play but when it comes to Selangor's origin of its rich heritage, culture and history. You might be surprised with the amount of knowledge you hold towards this sassy state of Malaysia. I might say I know a little bit and pieces about Selangor but not until Tourism Selangor organize a heritage trail @ race during their TSDAYOUT SPECIAL edition last week that got me baffled with astonishment. I am sucker for treasure hunt simply because i never really fancy riddles and hidden agenda, but somehow or rather it was a little exhilarating to search for 25 clues in a given time on our first day of our participation. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This trip was filled with 'drama', informative, knowledge, adventure, food, fun, laughter and how we were strangers became friends and creating memories that certainly will last forever. So, are you ready to be challenged? If yes, then read further!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">Why did i mentioned drama? well because most of you who has been reading my blogs knows that I really enjoyed all <a href="http://devidalildevil.blogspot.my/search/label/TSDayout" target="_blank">TSDAYout </a> events and i've been to their office few times, but that Saturday morning, waze decided to prank me by leading the way to Tourism Selangor at I-city. Not only i lost the way but I need to make a big turn to reach the destination. Then, i was told that parking at Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam (MBSA) might be a risk i should not be taking. Hrrm...other participants came via public transport or someone fetch them there. okay lucky for me that Adam drove there as well. So we decided to park our cars over there for the next 4 days even though deep down we are not comfortable leaving our precious cars over there. Sayang wei i nak tinggalkan my 'Raoul' at this risky places. Anyway we decided to continue with our activity and </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">will de</span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">cide later since we are only flying to Sarawak the next day. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">So after short briefing by En Saad, I grabbed my goody bag, one delicious karipap from the breakfast tray and quickly hop-on to their comfortable coach to head to Klang town. </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Upon </span></span><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">reaching Klang, we thought we will have a simple heritage walk like a walk in the park..but boy we were wrong..we were given a task to complete an amazing race @ heritage trail kinda hunt for 4 hours. gulp..i thought i have a share fare of knowing Klang town, not until that fine day..haha.. </span></span></span><br />

Since both of us are clueless, we didnt think further when other team invited us to joint-venture..why not? so Fauzi and I team up with Jess, Khai, Syed Ali, Evelyn and Dennis. We sat at the front yard of the Royal Gallery, lay out the maps and </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">questionnaire</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"> sheets and begin cracking our brains like the sound of munching peanuts.

We went in to Royal Gallery to retrieve few answers and was amazed with some new discoveries about the Royal Highness. You got to come here and see it for yourself all the artifacts display that is so beautifully preserved. Below are some of the moments we encountered while busy finding clues during that 4 hours. We walked few thousand steps, settled down for our scrumptious vegetarian food called 'Thali' set, immerse ourselves into the mood of colorful Diwali delicacy, tradition wears and decorations and discovering this royal capital town with old colonial government buildings, places of worship and a former tin warehouse. What an insight of all those mix masala of sweetness and spices from different diversification. </div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">Thinking back it was great that Tourism Selangor engaged us with this amazing race because shame on us! We noticed that most of us will only walk past a lot of these places without even bother to know of its importance and origin. So now at least i can tell, i know at least 40% of this royal Klang town :) </span></div>

And its COMPLIMENTARY! All you need to do is register at Royal Gallery Sultan Abdul Aziz from 9.00am to 9.15am on the same day. Getting there is pretty easy especially by KTM Komuter train and get off at KLang station (not Port Klang). </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last Thursday despite the weather fiasco (haze), Adidas managed to not only launch their latest product but also raised RM100k all in the name for a good cause to raise funds for National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM). Kudos to all the participants and organizers for making this event a success!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Rise and shine..the breakfast was served just right outside of our villa room door. We selected our menu yesterday night at the lobby as it has been The Cliff 's policy to serve based on their client's liking and not buffet style, which i think its a good idea as it doesnt put to waste. So After breakfast, the van driver was already waiting for us for our whole day activities today. </span></div>
