Just a little too LATE

FUTSAL frustrated ...
Why? User Friendly was not informed by the organizer that the registration for teams are reschedule to 1pm instead of 8.30am. It was a very bad start for the day itself. Do not awaken the hideous monster inside someone who is hungry, sleepy and annoyed!
All of us were mad at the organizer for their 'commitment' towards the whole event. As mad as we all are hungry, we help ourselves with Nini's fried spaghetti.

' Gendang gendut tali kecapi, kenyang perut suka hati '... At least our stomach felt good for a while.
10.30am all of them decided to head to Erry's home while waiting for registration. As for me, I'll stay here and have a look around. I wont be there during the game ...
Visit Malaysia 2007 Event
Titiwangsa lake, just behind Istana Budaya is a very beautiful place. There is a lot of awesome thing going on that day. Futsal, netball, paintball, lake cruise, jetski, fishing and somehow I missed the wall climbing xtvt.

There is an old Bufort model exhibition. Those owners must be some filthy rich person to own these babies.
The big 60M ( or was it 40M ) ferris wheel was situated by the lake. It is still in its testing mood that morning. RM15 per adults and RM12 per kids ( 12 minute ride ).
The worst yet to happened ...
A very unfortunate event had occur to one of our User Friendly team-mates, Erry. She slipped on some mineral bottles by the side of the court while playing futsal and broke her leg. The day turns to gloom. Yet the worst is about to happened. There was NOT even one pathetic ambulance on standby during the whole event. Not to mention there was no a SINGLE soul of paramedic / PBSM ( paling cikai pun laa kan ).

My words to you my mates, Get well soon and take your time to recover ... Its gonna be a long long recovery time for you and be patients while going thru this moment.

Bob Marley

Yes, more climbing action in this blog. It was my second-first route at Damai ( if only you understand what am I trying to tell here ... not important anyway ). It was much easier for the second time than the first time I climbed 'Bob Marley' ( there is an interesting stories behind that given name ). As usual, me climbed top-rope. The difference this time is Wan top-belayed me.
Reached the top and take a break at the cave. A nice hide-out place, with a view from the top 20M route. Geared up, and abseils down...

Next route, cross the stream nearby, at the over hanged. Not for me of course. As Wan set the route, Im clearing the area. Gathered all the dried leaves to burn, just enuff to scare off the mosquitoes around the area.
Next climbers, Lal - a friend of Wan. Look hard but actually it is more tougher than you see. Better try again next time Lal ....

Sweet Child of Mine

As early as 10am,we start our day with climbing at Batu Caves. Beautiful Sunday morning for some extreme sweating. Very few people that morning, so the rock are ours! Rosli lead the way to my project route and I did it - twice !!! Joining us another two new gurls who eventually came to Batu Caves for climbing and they are lucky to met us.
Still early for a break ... Wan still MIA, so Rosli have to lead again. Abg Yin and few local kids head to the cave for some summer cleaning project.
Wan finally arrived around noon, and lets head to Red Rock just 5 minutes walk from Damai. Reminder, dont park your car at Red Rock. Someone might break into your car. Park at Damai and breeze walk to Red Rock.
Tomodachi [6B] is not in my list for the moment. Too many technical moves here, Im not ready for that yet. So as it is, this is Rosli's project route.
After Tomodachi, next route is the Sweet Child Of Mine [Wan's project route to lead]. He did not manage to clean the route. He wore his old climbing slippers, because his Mad Rock Hooker is stolen and yet he get burnt during fall. It is not as easy as you see ... Nasa came by that evening and help us clean the route. He then climb up the Black Brothers [6B+] and change the old rusted anchor. Thanx man for doing the favor.
Back to Damai and join the others climbers, mostly from MMU Cyberjaya there.

Keep Holding On

Lazy Saturday
Its was past after 3pm that afternoon when we start climbing. There I met my old MMU colleagues, Chaun with his girlfriend and other companion climbing at Damai. Wan set another route for me, then he himself climb up 6A the one beside monsoon. I managed to settle my new route ... How contra is my red key look on the rocks!!
These route, I will conquer it one day. Finished up all 5C's top rope, clean and lead ... Then move on to next rank. I will conquer you damn Rocks!!!
A night @ Setanding Camp
Climbing during the day, lets camping during the night. Setanding Camp at Sungai Pisang, Gombak. It was my first time there, a 5 minute walked from the road. 11pm and my stomach are crying to be fed. Start-up the fire, and lets start with the cooking. Instant lamb and chicken from nearby Giant hypermarket( no time to marinate, after all it was a very last minute plan! ), homemade fried rice (yummy!!!) and a almost burnt jacket potatoes.
Full stomach, and tired me! Set up the hammock, take out my sleeping bag and Im sailling into SweetDreamLands.
Jinx Sunday
1000 hours and its time to dip my toes into the icy river by the side of the camp. Im used to cold water, but not to cool air! Refreshed and lets leave Setanding camp, Batu Caves here we come.
Something bad, really really bad happened ... refuse to write here, beside it was indeed a 'What a Lurvely Holiday' aight?
The yellow theme day, except me. My tense is high, 9/10 ... and I channeled those high energy to a good used. Finished my project route ( that was my 4th attempt ), I can actually kissed the anchor above! Felt so good yet still jinx.
Rosli brought his client - Sue together with him today. A weird way to entertain your client, huh? We've heard about golfing all the time, but this is rock climbing dude! So Rosli, ... was it RM9 or RM8 deal if she manage to clean 6A?
Sayonara to my New Mugen and hello to my green Hooker Lace~~~

damai ... red rock

DAY ONE
Clear the path, for me to walk thru. At first I thought I wanna climb up halfway myself and start capturing some nice moves of others climber. There was a shortcut of course ... Walked up thru the bushes, and strapped myself to a tree for safety, and Im ready ....
There was Rosli, Wan, Nuar, Joe, Apis, Thoi and me ... A day @ Damai for us. As usual, Wan will lead the way up and abseil himself down. Route Man ( that what I was told, was it 6A?! ) is not difficult at starting, but it will when come to over-hang part (halfway up) and upwards. Dont forget, Im still strapped to the tree!! My turn, and I did halfway ... just like the other 2 of us.
Move on to the next route, Monsoon. Wan take the lead, top-rope -- Rosli and Joe. Me? Trying at my route project, still 5C of course and still remain a route project...

Its when I heard the bike vendor bell ringing at the car park area ... and I want my cendol!!!

DAY TWO
A day we spent at Red Rock (just a few minutes walk from Damai ) and the Cave. We are the second crowd there... obviously we are late, 11am!! All geared up and lets start climbing some rocks!
Tomodachi route 6B and the Black Brothers 6B+ ... a day spent with my SLR, and no climbing for me. Sob sob sob~~~

sleepyHead

sign in 9am, Thursday 31/11/2006 ... sign out 9am, Friday 01/12/2006 ... that happened when whole production line is targetted to finished in 2 weeks time.
I sat by the lake as the sun rises... Felt the warmth touching my skin ... refreshed

shine n rains with us

Yeah, another weekend spent climbing rocks in Batu Caves. As for me the beginner, me start with 5C route. Look easy, but my little fingers are aching fighting with those solid rocks.
This time there was only us doing climbing, beacuse there will be a tournament next weekend at Mont Kiara .. no wonder there was no one except us! Good thing is, we can have all the rocks to ourselves ... greedy greedy people .. hahahahaha
The weather was envy with us. It rains on and off from the afternoon till dawn. We moved into the cave, taking shelter from the rain and start climbing again. In here, the route is much more challeging. Taking pictures of these spideys arent easy though ... learn to climb, learn to take picture in cave ... just too much information for me in a day! This experiences wont cross me everyday, and thanx to Wan and Rosli for their kind-hearted, sharing and teaching us.

Cant wait to do border next time ...
Next weekend? Me can't! I have to work for the upcoming prototype project. With rope around my neck, I keep on saying ... "I Lurve my job!!!"

Feel so damn good

A beautiful Sunday morning for rock climbing in Batu Caves, Gombak. Enough of sunshine and shades for us to play around with.
Check all the equipments, the safety knots and off to climbing. There was 6 of us, with 3 of them are the sifoos teaching us the beginner.
It was indeed a new experience. Thanx to Yin, Wan and Rosli ( below picture, names from the right ) for the supports. You guys really rawcks!!
I feel soo damn good touching the anchor ...
We just play for few hours, due to the heavy rain in the late afternoon ... Packed our stuff and returned home aching!!! Hahahahaha ....

Kuala Lumpur from higher ground

It was raining in KL, despite of that matter me proceed with my plans - genting for escape! Things are getting heavier in my mind.
The weather was fine! A bit misty though ( it was around 12 midnight ). But then after a while the mist has cleared out and the view from the top was superb. This was my first time looking down to KL. Did some experiment shots, playing around with my SLR.
I stayed there from midnight till 5am. With a blank mind and sleepy eyes, I drove back to KL. With no resolution or conclussion of my 'thing', only three words for myself ... LIFE GOES ON ...
