Xcite! Xperience! GO Xcel!!


what can i say about this camp (abit of amazing race inside as well)... AWESOME!
had fun WALKING so much...
had fun of limited sleeping...
had fun having limited food...

actually i really am grateful of all the experience i gained in this camp...
taking the bus and train... traveling around Malaysia (KL, Klang, Pulau Ketam, Malacca)
i never get to do these... seriously...
meeting and talking to many different people...
getting out of the comfort of my home...
experience LIFE first hand...
i'm living too comfortably in luxury...

oh anyway... pictures do the talking...

Day 1
around KL...

May Jean, Kit Yin, Jess, Mark, Gene, Soon Hong
our clue-givers : Jordan & Michael

initially we had 6 members in our team...
end of the day we had TRIBAL COUNCIL... so try figure who got voted out of our team... nicely speaking, who got INTO a new team...

1st clue was to get to KL Sentral...


cut short... we had many task and i felt the most difficult was to sell T-shirts to people in corporate outfit...
the moment we tried to attract their attention... they just ignored us or they just walk away saying No Thank You
I'm Busy
Sorry Buying Ticket la
sigh... life of a salesman... or maybe i'm bad at persuading...

then to Sungai Wang & Low Yat Plaza...


spent the most time in "river of wealth" because of those bloody riddles...
art fruit enterprise?? lemon?? walao...

then to KLCC and Pavilion...
WE ACTUALLY HUGGED one of the musicians just after they finished performing... =) (one of our tasks...)



Day 2
Klang, Pulau Ketam...

sat train there...

"please stand behind the yellow line..."

huhh??

in front of Muzium Something (sorry forgotten la...)

went orphanage (Good Samaritan Orphanage Home) to spend time with those kids...
pity them...
Chris & ??? (she couldn't spell her name out with scrabbles...)

things to buy...

may the caretakers be blessed with good karma even though i see the sadness in their faces... sigh

next... off to Pulau Ketam! (Crab Island?)


aiyak cannot see... actually it says on the board:
Bot Laju Berhawa Dingin...??

we were supposed to ask the people around what are the famous buildings, people or places in pulau ketam...
it's called the lonely planet six degrees challenge or something (which is on Travel & Living channel 707)


houses on stilts

remember slumdog millionaire?

now u know where salted fish comes from...

at first we played around and made up most of the stories (hehe) and we screwed by Bro Chee Onn...
so we started putting more effort the second time and also knowing that the last boat back to Port Klang was at 6pm motivated us...

yay complete!

overnight-ed at a buddihst centre in Klang...
practiced our Flash Dance around 12am!

Day 3
Malacca

2 hour bus journey...
reached and went to our 1st clue which was the clocktower...

had to search for the HQ where the game really begins...
monopoly style...

man am i tired...

roll the dice... land on a spot... buy or no buy... finish the task...
tiring plus the hot weather... and oh yeah temptation to buy Chicken Rice Ball which sadly to say i have not tried... we could only afford for the plain rice balls... :'(
oh yeah didn't mention that we were given a specific amount of money at the beginning of the race...

Musicality

I always wondered that the musicals here in the UK would be somewhat different from the ones I attended back in Malaysia. Hence, I made sure I attended at least one musical in London. Musicality is a musical society here at University of Nottingham. They are made up of many students from different courses and background and boy are they talented! I attended their annual musical production: Jekyll and Hyde The Musical at the Nottingham Arts Theatre which was located in the city. Their performance was marvellous. Although I kind of forgotten the story but I never once felt bored during the performance. Like every musical, there was a live orchestra below the stage and there were equally splendid. The bed making part of the backdrop whereby Dr.Jekyll would be lying on it at the beginning of the scene The orchestra ensemble taking a break So many people were involved in the musical. Directors, producers, designers, bac...

Them Housemates

Image
(10/01/12) I feel so weak and inferior around them. I am the last person they would ask if they didn't know how to solve a question. I always feel like i'm not part of the discussion. It's as if i'm left behind, so much further away from them. I am sitting around them, yet they prefer to ask the other housemate sitting upstairs I don't know why but somehow i feel pissed They just ignore me... I am not worried if they see this, they don't even know i have a blog I feel... sad, frustrated, hopeless sometimes i feel as if i am in the wrong course, taking the wrong path of life, they make me feel... bad still, i am grateful to have them as housemates and coursemates. i can always refer to them whenever i didn't know how to answer a question. or i could just borrow their solution and refer to it. or i could ask them to teach me. when exams season are here, there is this feeling of desperation lingering in the air. what is the answer to this que...

Attachments

Total attachments : 2 doc. Click to download NO not those kind of attachments in emails. I hate it. It makes you keep thinking of something(maybe someone?) you have just feeled, watched, smelled or heard. An example, your over-priced handphone that enables you to do almost everything with it, can you leave it aside for one day? Not replying any calls or messages for one whole day? CAN YOU? Or, not checking people statuses and updates on Twitter(i don't tweet) or FACEBOOK! CAN YOU? In the Buddhist context, attachments causes suffering. We keep thinking about that something and we cannot focus on the things we are currently doing, our mind is not at peace, we are in SAMSARA (suffering). For me, i don't know is it only me or what but after reading a book i always have this feeling of attachment. I don't want the story to end, I feel a sense of sadness and regret. I hate this feeling. After watching movies(especially romance), i don't want it to end, i want it t...
