I can't find any better title for this post. So, i plan to stick with the date, only. And whew, time really flits. I remember cleaning up (clearing books and waste-papers away) my tables not long ago, and here I am, cleaning up my study table, again! Not to say that I'm complaining about going through that whole long process, instead I kinda enjoy it. It brings back memory.Lots of memory. It's a wonder though, that just by flipping through those pages, touching the covers and by reading the words written, it felt like going through a vortex of the past. Awesome...
But anyway, I also enjoyed throwing the books around, messing the floor up and cleaning it up again. Good times, good times...
Right, that was a few days ago. On the 22nd itself. Here's about the whole trip (if you don't wanna know, just scroll down, don't bother reading it if it's too long):
10:30. Left home for Sunway Pyramid. Bought tickets for Avatar 3D. Ate in B.B.Q Plaza. Went for the 3 hour show. Came out, bought Siew Pao and Portugese Egg Tarts from Mr. Siew Pao. Sent Auntie Joyce and her daughters back home. Appointment with Dr. Pritam Singh to check my eyes and get a new pair of monthly-contacts. Bought packed-up foods from Fatty Crab Restaurant. Went back home to eat. Enjoyed the century egg, chicken sate, fried chicken, fried rice, and a little bit of crab (Least enjoyed by me. Too spicy). Made Tang Yuen and ate till 11:30pm. That's about it.
Well, as certain people know, my family is one heck of a group that can really whack on food. No doubt about it. So, lately, I've come up with a new... New... THING (I'm sorry, I still lack vocabs). It's called the "Thums' Food Scale". Ratings are, A, B or C. The scale is based on the amount and enjoyable level. So I declare that yesterday's meals worth an A-. It wasn't a lot... But it was still great. Best part was daddy came back in-time to eat Tang Yuen with us. And i think that's what Dong Zhi is all about. Family members back together, having a meal together.
I enjoyed my day. But enjoyable days always come to an end. And now, I always seem to have problems thinking of ways to use up my day, at least with something to do. Rather than using the computer whole day. Ideas are very much appreciated guys!! Thanks!

Sunbathing (Malaysian style)
I looked up, sun rays blinded my eyes immediately, and everything went white. Once i looked straight forward again, it felt as though I'd stepped into a whole new green world! The skies were green. The sandy beach was green. My hands were green! Cool!
But the "fantasy" world vanished just after a few seconds and everything went back to normal. I thought, " hey, maybe I'll go for another time!" But of course that would be crazy. And of course i didn't do it again.
I adjusted my position on the chair and felt my skin burning a little. I took the sun-block lotion and squirted some lotions out. Rubbed it in my palms, then buttered it up my skin. Starting with my fingers, up my wrist, then all the way to my elbow, just above my armpits and... I realized i wasn't wearing any shirt! I rushed to get my shirt, even a towel would be very much welcomed, but there were none. "Damn!" i thought.
I turned around on my chair, and as i was about to dart back into my chalet, i found out that every man was topless, girls in bikinis, sunbathing on the beach too. So, obviously, i hadn't got used to the idea of walking half naked around public places, at that time.
Anyway, i got used to it in the end. At least i got to experience - the westerners commons - being topless at beach. I don't mind doing it again though. XD
So yeah, i spent most of my time reading Darren Shan, either on the chair or the hammock. My family members were also busy with their own stuff. We spent about 5 hours or more on that beach though. First time ever tried.
At the end of the day, i got much tanner, as usual. Whereas my sisters and dad got sun burnt, but not any tanner, like always... That's about it for that day. There shall be more to come. Enjoy reding!

Family Trip (Kayaking)
The waters were calm. Skies were blue. Horn-bills were flying above. Yade-yada...
We took the kayaks, splashed into the sea waters, stomping our feet without the least of care and went out strolling, breaking the calmness and tranquil water. It was our first time kayaking. (But, it turned out to be quite smooth for us. It wasn't that hard as we thought it would be. So yeah...)
And again, we took 3 kayaks, parents in one, sisters in the other, one for mua (proud of that). Cleared the ores on the shelf, dragged it all the way to the waters and simply flow. We were quite pumped-up at first. So, we paddled hard and fast. But of coarse, controlling the direction was the toughest of all (it's not really tough, just the toughest among the rest of the kayaking process). But, we soon got a hang of it.
We sailed (?) front and back on the same route. Then we took the decision to go around a small island nearby. We found baby jelly fishes, small fishes and large stones under sea. Oh yeah, I don't know whether it's proven or not, but my family and I thinks that sun glasses helps our eye-sight in waters. I mean we could see clearly through the sea waters, the rain - when in cars - much better than our bare eyes with sun glasses. X)
So, we got tired eventually at mid-way. We rested for awhile, looked at the clouds, naming objects by the shape formed by the clouds, and continued with our journey back to shore.
That's about it. We didn't spend much time on it. So, after that we had a game of beach volleyball with some foreigners. It was awesome...
There are more to come. Hope you guys are enjoying till now.

Family Trip (Food-A-Thon)
1)We went Ipoh to eat in the morning before proceeding to Langkawi, Kedah. We had some famous curry mee in town. Surprisingly, i lasted through the whole meal. I IMPROVED! Yeah!!
2)Once reached at the Lankawi jetty, mommy said to go for anything we were fond of. So, we saw Kenny Roger's Roasters and went in. The food was okay. And while eating, mommy also said that, eat anything we feel like, just go for it. And right in front of me stood Baskin Robins' stall. Haha. But, we didn't have any of it in the end.
3)We also ate dinners in Taj Resort's buffet in Rebak island. Costed like RM100 per head. But, it was good. The waiters there were polite. Most of them were foreigners. Philippines, Myanmar... There were also local chefs. Oh, and the coolest one, who is also the head chef of the kitchen, he worked in China and some cool places before too. So, he - according to him - knows how to speak nine different languages. Awesome! But of corse, there were words like, (monotone) ni hao ma, sik bao meh, wu ke reng and more... But still, he's a Indian. Not bad huh.
4)Ate in Thailand too. Went to those pasar malam stores, drank "cham yi mi shui". Was just okay...
5)Last but not least, PENANG! We ate char kui teow, muar chee, banana pie, seafood... Best! Oh, if anyone of you who's reading this, when you're in Penang, there's this awesome seafood restaurant in Batu Ferringhi (?) called "End of the World". My family claims that they have that name cause people eat there like there's no tomorrow. Make sense though. Haha.

Family trip part 1 (Long journey)
Some journey it was...
This time around, my - Thum - family has been accustomed to packing our own luggage. So, we didn't take much time on packing, our luggages were light and not too bulky. Thanks to the years of experience traveling world-wide. Hah.
Anyway, I'm just gonna focus on the journey, as I'll post the whole trip up, babs by babs.
First to start of with, tuning the radio, searching for Hitz FM was all that's needed to keep some of us busy in the car. Every time we reached a new state, the connection gets bad. In a way, it's a blessing, as we weren't too bored in the car.
No cards were brought. Well, books, yeah. MP3, yeah. Phones, duh...
So, other than tuning the radio, i read my - i borrowed from Jiaen actually, Thanks dude! - Darren Shan's third trilogy book ( AWESOME BOOK!!). I also listened to my MP3. I was surprised that it lasted through the whole trip though. Luck of the Thum's in me, i guess.
Not to waste any more time, here are the places visited chronologically:
Ipoh> Langkawi> Rebak Island> Thailand ( Hat Yai)> Penang> Kek Lok Si Temple> Home.
That was about it. The whole trip was more of a "food-a-thon" ( my family's term). So yeah, we focused on eating rather than places travelled. Still, we gained lots of knowledge and fun. X)
Till then. Kindly wait for more babs to come. Enjoy!

Camerons Camp 2009
Hialooooo people!
Just came back from a camp with the Taman Seas in Camerons. It was from the 29th of November till 7th of December? (Lost count of the date most of the time there.)
Anyway, we had loads of fun there. I won't upload pictures here. It'll be in my facebook. Alrighty? Right, we trained, jungle trekked, walked under rain, ate pisang goreng, slept, ate barbecue and lots more. Everything was total fun and excitement. And it was hard to get that kind of chance. Where everyone laughs at everything, been laughed at anything and laugh altogether just for fun. It felt easy being with them. All those noises and gases. Just un-forgettable. XD
Anyway, i hope there would be more camps for me to join with them. Thanks guys!!
Woot!
