Memories 1996/2009 - Gunung Nuang

Then
(mood: listening to My December by linkin park)

Hehe..okay this time is not my piece during summer trips but during my childhood!! Haha..A few days ago a friend of mine tagged me in these photos. And these photos were when we we were all in Standard 4! 10 years old yes!! Haha..gle mane dpt ntah these pixs! ;p Okay actually these are photos when we went hiking Gunung Nuang located in Hulu Langat Selangor if im not mistaken. We went there for 3days 2 nights camp if im not mistaken. It was more like a motivational-sort-of-camp for UPSR students. Yes, i love camping and anything that's adventurous and has something to do with jungles. Thus, i tagged along. hehe..

So there i went! Do you believe that my parents allow me to go hiking Mount Nuang, the most challenging mountain in Malaysia when i was 10 years old alone (not acoompanied by family members) ?? And guess what, i managed to conquer the mountain!!! Hhihihi...bangge tak bangge tak?? :D :D I AM. hehe..

I still remember that we had to walk like 5 hours from our bus to our camp base. Yes, we walked non-stop for 5 hours and we reached the camp base at night. 9pm+ if im not mistaken. Wasn't i great? at that such tender age manage to do so? hehe..Then we were divided into groups of 5 for a tent. My tent was quite near to the river. It was raining that night and i only brought my windbreaker and socks. It was chilling COLD!!!! Moreover, i was at the end of the tent. Kat pintu okay.Underneath us was ground. When it's raining on top of a mountain, at night, when your tent is by the river, can you imagine how cold is that?? Hu..

Luckily i didn't get caught in the fever or whatsoever. Hihi..(so kental mahu mendaki gunung smangat membara2 ;p)

hihi..can you guess which one is me? ;) yep, the one wearing the yellow shirt. haha..jangan gelak.jangan gelak ;p apa punya gaya duduk lah itu~ ='). This was when the motivator gave us some motivational talk.


Hahaha..see what did i do? hahaha! That was Alin, my bestfriend at that time, always together wherever we go~ haha

This was when they were giving us some surviving tips in the jungle like how to cook rice in bamboo, how to boil eggs under unggun api, what to do when you were lost in a jungle, etc2. I still remember that there were 6 brothers who acted as our 'guider' or rangers. hehe..sme kacak2 ok :) And when it was downhill, 1 of the brothers helped me to carry my backpack because it was too heavy! With the rain-soaked clothes and everything, i just couldn't bear it. huhu..Luckily the abg was there :) thank you abg! :)

Hehe..this was makan nasi dalam buluh time!! haha..The one who wear specs is my best friend as well. nama ku norzainun.hehe..comelnye la time nih! :')

I don't remember what's this sexy boy's name. haha..1996 pon da ada hot pants ok ;p

Ini Kamil, the fairest guy in our batch. He used to follow me wherever i go. When i took pictures, he will always be behind me. hikhik.so comel :)

Ta daa!! I managed to reach the peak!! When i was 10 years old!! Heheh..yeah, that's me in the red and white windbreaker.haha. ;p

credit to my friend who managed to capture and keep these pixs! :D


This is us now. lol jejak kasih. remember ku norzainun? she's the 2nd from right. and Alin is the 3rd from left.hihi..how we've grown up! :')

Now
(listening to Memiliki Kehilangan by Letto)

In 2009 i went to hike the Nuang mountain again. But this time with my Ipba's friends. hehe..I think it's the PSIMP's activity, but well, u know i love to go into the jungle so i jumped into the opportunity and tagged along! (again :') ) hehe...After 13 years, Nuang mountain has gone through lots of changes! I don't remember the place as it is! amazing! huhu..But this time, the weather was great, and to forget our tiredness and boredom, we even played riddles. Hihi..
Okay, now let's browse through my photos to see whether i've changed.. :)

At the start of our journey~ common! common!

haha..my style of sitting haven't changed!! OMG! ;p

But this time, our pics are much more clear + cun kan? yelah, da ada slr even not mine ;p

Haha..nie mmg malu. We didn't managed to reach the top of Nuang! Only managed to get to Kem Pacat! huhu..but it's okay coz we need to put a night if we want to reach the top anyway. hehe..
The experience & companion were great tho! :D

Other mountains

Okeh, alang2 cte pasal mountain let me put kinabalu as well lah ;) These pictures were taken when we were in Kota Kinabalu Sabah, trying to conquer the highest mountain in South East Asia.hehe..enjoy~

At the beginning of our journey :)


After 3.5 km of hiking..4.5km more to go before we reach our camp base in Laban Rata..It took us around 1 hour for 1km if we hike non-stop...chaiyok2!


At Laban Rata. This picture was taken after we have conquered the mountain. Satisfaction yg tak terhingga! :') Even though some of us didn't managed to reach the top of the mountain due to some health problems, but we all get the cert. Those who reached the top get the coloured one and those who managed to go halfway get balck and white cert. The cert also stated how high we go. heehe..



Ta da!! Half of us!! hehe...This group is the first group to reach the top (from ipba i mean) and guess what, i'm the first gurl to reach the peak at 5.30am!! Hehehe..we departed from Laban Rata at 3am to go to the peak. The weather was bad and we were not supposed to hike that day. Actually we can't. But the groups from RMC have already went up the mountain before the authority can stop them. So we just followed them. Hu...The wind was blowing cruelly and up there, there was no tree at all. Only rocks and lots of rocks and ravines.

Damn cold up there! See my face was red. becoz dem cold. da la ujan renyai2 msa trun sgt dangerous. Sdey x dpt amek gmba lawa masa sunrise coz sjuk sgt nk tggu x larat :( glove x waterproof and was wet. I was cold & hungry and mental n physical preparation are very2 important when u wanna go hiking okay guys. Luckily me n mimi met a forest ranger on our way back down. He helped us alot. thanks pkcik.

I've talked about mount kinabalu before.just browse through my archive for more stories ok :)

Zurich, Switzerland

(mood: listening to more than a memory by Hoobastank)

Okay, the pictures below were taken during our 2008 Euro trip. In Switzerland, we decided to go to Zurich, the capital city. Why? Because it's easier to transport and lots of souvenirs shops and yeah, it's usually the tourism spot. In Switzerland, the living cost there was quite expensive and since we were all backpackers, we chose the cheapest, safest, and comfortable B&B to stay in.

Before we started our trip, we divided ourselves so that each one of us will have a responsibility to do research on a country. I got Florence, Italy. So, when this particular person got this place, h/she has to do a research including place to stay, food, tourist attractions, transportation and stuffs. And yes, responsibility and team work are very important when we are planning to go for a trip. And yes, the clan that you're going with is also very important. Whether you can get along with them or not, just..try to adapt yourself ok ;)


Us in train heading to our hostel


Ok, back to my story. So we stayed at a place called Biker's hostel or something like that if im not mistaken. That's the cheapest we can find. When we arrived there, it's already dark. We were so surprised when we reached the place because it looks like Kampung Baru area. Yes, in Switzerland. And then when we wanted to check-in, again, we were surprised by the owner(s) of the inn. Guess what, they were all bikers!!!! With long hair, tattoo all over their muscular body, big bikes, you-know-what-i-mean. haha...

At first we were so scared! We though that we might reached the wrong inn but it is the one that we booked earlier! Walla!! haha..so, with prayers in our heart, we entered the hostel...
And guess what, the bikers were all so friendly!!! and GENTLEMEN!!! (hati pink you called? ;p) OMG. hahaha! seriously, they opened the door for us, carried my luggage, and the words that they used was so polite!! YES!

Hihi..so straight away i like them all even though my friends were still scared of them. LOL. I don't mind. I think they are not harmful to us. I like them very much. ;) And below is Edzlam and Faiz in the hostel.

Hihi..yeah, at night it was quite scary coz you have to walk quite a distance to get to the loo. And at night, people get drunk. So, just take care of yourself and ask your friends to accompany you to the loo ;)

Next day

This is us in the train heading to Rheinfall, the highest waterfall in Europe. It's located in Szwitzerland yes. hoho...I enjoyed the journey very much. Beautiful scenery, great companion, smooth journey, nice weather. What else could you asked for? ;)

Us

The scenery from inside the train

Actually i wanted to capture the sunflowers blooming. hoho

Tadaa!! We finally arrived at our destination!! Hehe...So nice right!! :D

Rheinfall waterfall, Switzerland

Hehe..posing is a must :)

Suemay, k.wani, muna, hani & k.yuni at Rheinfall

Okay, here we go~~heading towards the waterfall!! hihi..so much fun!!

That's us :)

Afterward

We were heading to Interlaken to see the longest man-made bridge. hihi..

me~~

us!

Then

Then, we headed to Zurich, the capital of Switzerland. I bought lots of Swiss knives for my family members and people i love. You know who you are.hhee ;) It's much cheaper here you know. And you get to engraved your name on it! How cool is that? hehe..

This is mine. I carry it everywhere i go. So don't play2 with me~ ;p hehe

There was no car on the road. so here we are. ;p

Pity us coz on the day we went to the town it's a holiday in Switzerland. So most of the shops were closed.. T_T

Barcelona, Spain (summer 2007)

(mode: listening to a song Kerna ku sayang kamu by Dygta. my all times fav)

Okies, because i was bored nothing to do, I decided to write about my holidays in Europe. Haha..actually i just ransacked my ext HD to find some photos that i can share and decided to write something about it :)


Ok, photos below were during 2007 summer when we were in Barcelona, Spain. The weather was warm, warmer than in Malaysia, but they just love the sun as much as we Malaysian love winter.ngehngehngeh..so, you wouldn't find anyone carrying any umbrella under the scorching sun..

In front of Barca's Hard Rock cafe.

Ok this one was taken during the evening, at 6+pm i think. You know summer= longer daytime. SO we had fun travelling during summer. And yes, lots of hot lads & lasses too!! :D

Me & K.wani on the hop-on hop-off bus.

This is our bus ride, hop-on hop-off bus. It's more like a tourism bus with a tour guide on the bus (sometimes the driver himself) giving you info about interesting tourism spots around that area. I love to ride this bus because u get to see everything unshielded by any mirror (of course it's different downstairs ;p). You also get to 'hop-off' from the bus when you arrived at your desired tourist spot. And then after you have made your tour, just get back to the bus stand, wait for the bus to come, and hop-on into the bus. It will take you to the starting point again.That is why it is called as a hop-on hop-off bus. hehe..


Yeah, usually you will get a journey map of the bus and an earphone when you ride the bus. Just plug in your earphone to the seat and choose the speaking language that you prefer. Voilla! As easy as that! :) My fav hop-on hop-off bus ride was in Dublin. I'll post about it later ;)

Me & Edward scissors hand at La Rambla street in Barca

Actually, La Rambla is my favourite street in Barca. It's a shopping street with lots of booths and performers acting as statues (like in this pic) along this street. The street is so lively especially during summer with all the tourist and activities going on until late at night. Yes, strolling down the alleys at night was a happening event as well ;)

Don't believe me? Check out these videos :) Break dance performances. My camera was lacking of memory space when i wanted to video taped a break dance performance by a cute 5-year old boy ;( He is the son of one of the performers..(the hottest one which is not in here. hehe ;p)

Suemay, K.wani, hani & dayme at Barca's seaside.

Oh, strolling by the beaches in Barca during summer was heaven! No need to worry about anything. Everything is so carefree and you can do anything you want. Either picnic, swimming, skating, roller-bladding, shopping, eating, gossipping. Anything. Everybody is so friendly and warm :)


Okay. I think that's all for now. Barcelona has been 1 of my favourite holiday spot actually. And i've been there twice :) It is highly recommended for those who wanted to go for a holiday. Just be careful of the pickpocket :)


And for more photos, do check it out on my facebook. And yes, if you want me to add you, please tell me who you are bcoz i don't approve strangers ;)
Till then.
