My First Hiking Shoes Ever!

After years of services, my sport shoes finally 'rest in peace'. So, here comes my first hiking shoes with 50% off (at Subang Parade, World of Sports) ! Hahaha...Thanks to Annie & Adeline who prevent me from buying an expensive one and found me this nice yet non-pricy hiking shoes!

旧的运动鞋终于光荣退休了。。。大概有4年了吧?新欢有50%折扣哦,还得感谢Adeline帮我从鞋堆里找到这双这么湛的爬山鞋(售货员都没那么pro!)。姑且看看新欢能的服务周期有多旧吧!

Gasing Hill (2) - The Death of Our Sport Shoes

Hehehe... of course not only the 2nd time we came here, but recently Bkt Gasing has changed, more ... branches, more choice, more adventures! Last week we follow an uncle and experience a wonderful route.

Today, we choose another branch to go in for the small stream (Anak Sungai). Super super! Super adventures, no abandone house but up hill down hill then down the stream! hahaha... To certain extend we thought we might need to activate the gps :P Well well well, not that scary but its kind of excited. Go in buddy system then can enjoy more!

Last time used to tell that within an hour can finish Gasing route, and the route is good for beginner...errr... now gotto rephrase, unless you stick to the original route and dont go in for the stream, else, it will easily take you more than an hour. :)

呵呵呵。。。Gasing 近来开了很多分叉路让登山者探索更多不同的路线。今天我们上山下山再下水,沿着小溪走一段路,完全不一样的Gasing体验!还以为会破纪录走Gasing走到要用GPS,还好没 "xia sui'。。。哈哈哈。。。这样一逛,再走回原来的路线就耗了大概2个小时(慢走),很不错哦。我想兴奋得应该不止我一个,因为很多人都非常的‘踊跃尝试’新路线,常碰到人问,这里往上走能出回去吗? 赫赫赫,殊不知我们也是第一次。。。当然说能咯。有路线就代表有人走过,是看你从哪个出口出而已。来跑跑吧!

一个鞋子终于光荣退休,一个就一脚踩进泥浆做面膜。。。
One shoes can finally retired, another picked a 'mask' today...

今天我们选这个入口 We picked this entrance today

竟然从这里出来eh! Came out from here!

小枕头不翼而飞?

小枕头不见了。

找了超过一个星期了,还是没看见。很不经意的找,还是没发现。不找了,还是没发现(有时你不找某样东西时,某样东西就会自动现身。最后连老妈也出动了,还是没发现。男友又不会变态把它带回意大利,那。。。到底小枕头去了哪里?

我家只有845平方公尺,3房一厅,2间厕所,小枕头可以藏身哪里? 因该不会突然成为卫斯理小说里头的二次元空间交流处吧?要是的话,应该会有不属于我家的东西无端端的出现在家里啊!

唉。。。这小枕头好歹陪了我十多年叻。心形的尺码刚好遮住耳朵卡在脸上,重量又刚刚好,不会轻易滑落 -- 要来干嘛? 睡觉时盖住耳朵容易入睡的。夜半睡醒时没有它是特别难以入睡,因为我对声音很敏感,有杂音比较难入睡啦。。。

以前的旧家,入夜就会有很多虫叫声,虽然大自然的声音很好听,但是声音太大太靠近还是很困扰的。所以老妈就弄了这个小枕头给我盖耳朵咯。

拜托拜托,快快回来我身边!

金德代克的风车群_Kinderdijk-Elshout

2007年的照片。真的是时光飞逝。。。Kinderdijk在荷兰,罗特丹(Rotterdam)以东15km之处,在97年被列入世界文化遗产。

我们开车从高速公路去Kinderdijk,不过不知道为什么下午3点多已经开始塞车,我们到达Kinderdijk时已经大概5点多了吧?还好还有一点时间参观风车的内部构造(到5.30pm)!很幸运哦。

来到这里的第一个感觉就是--很想在这里住!真的,一个很漂亮,宁静,但感觉又不会太闷的地方!可能我比较喜欢小地方吧。。。得空得空就跑来这里骑脚车。。。爽!

Since we didn't do any study at all, we came to know this place by asking the local people which point of interest we could go... they pointed here, and there we go! Got stuck in the highway for hours even its just 3pm something in the noon, pointing the wrong exit (ok my fault, reading map is never my strenght...hahaha) etc etc, we were lucky enough to arrived at Kinderdijk jut before the visiting hour.

It's a wonderful place, firs thing cross my mind was - How nice if I can stay here? (hell ya, best day dreaming of the year :p) We stroll around after come out from mill, it's just... beautiful...

有19个风车在运作。。。


鸭子家族在游河戏水。。。

Bezoekersmolen

内观,梯级很斜哦
启动其中一个机关,风车的方向就会改变。 很聪明的构造。。。
要捕捉那转动的风桨也不容易eh。。。

Sky Trekking_The BiG Thrill Challenge

Ya, this was my first exposure to Sky Trekking (17.9.2008), hehe, again thanks to Kelly. Majority of them are Kelly's friend, but... they are fun! Compared to the extreme challange this is really nothing much, but since this was the first time, well I gotto admit that my leg was a bit 'not willing' to move and everytime before I left the platform... I need to take a deep breath...

There was a point, where Bryan & I standing at the same platform, I guess my brain suddenly got mul-function that I unhook both of the carabiner... first unhook (Bryan's eye big big), second unhook (Big eyes with hands covering the mouth and one hand pointing at the carabiners! Hahahahahahahahaa.... THANK GOD I didnt fell down! (lucky no one else see it else sure get scolded).

Ya, this is what we call - accident can happen! :P

p.s. years later only I know that a guy here was my customer! (errr, he's the management level, the time I know his name only, didnt really saw his face) Smal world eh? hahaha...


Starting point... small suggestion. Better go first instead of waiting...

Pull pull pull!

Errr...put this photo because it seems to cover all my fats! hahaha
Quite a long 'journey'...

Swing swing swing...



Ahaha... ya ya, she confirmed for us that inside the jungle there is still phone reception!


Hmnm.. gotto swing and... 'phiak'! catch the net! :P
Not sure how is it now after years, it is still quite pretty well maintain tho :)

Sky Trekking_THE ExTreme Challenge

An adventures & fun outdoor activity with friends! This is my second visit, but many of them are the first time, big clasp to them.. yeah.. coz normally first timer will go for the 'Big Thrill' challenge instead of the 'Extreme', cool huh?

I would strongly recommend this activity if you guys like outdoor adventures, just a day trip and it is not even expensive. Big Thrill challenge is fun, challenging yet not too tiring. Extreme challange is really EXTREME... for one moment I was wondering if I was attending the Ninja training...grrrr @_@ But still, it is fun!

Booking & payment can all be done online, take a look at their website below:

The trial session

Hmnm... this is the very beginning...

Fly fly fly! Well at first we were a bit scared, but later, after all other 'style', we were so hoping to see this flying fox instead of climbing staircase!

Swing swing swing...
Hahaa... scream and not forgetting photo shooting!


Is that all? NOOOOOO... simply because we are too tired to snap photos in between, hahaha....
Challenge completed, Victory!
Thanks buddies for joining this activity!

台北市动物园_Taipei Zoo

对,就是动物园!基本上动物园不是很多人出国旅游的首选,尤其是没有小朋友的-他们都说,照镜子不是可以咯,还用去动物园(想撞墙。。。)。但是因为这里有团团圆圆啊!而且台北市动物园是有名气的,为什么不去看看呢?老妈也说很久没去动物园了,着实有点令人怀念,所以就决定了半日游。

在这里看到的是整洁,规划,纪律,大人小孩高高兴兴的观光,唉。。。和马来西亚的没得比。。。难怪我们自小学毕业后就再没想到要到动物园逛。 还有还有,那里的动物全都是肥肥胖胖的,而且成群结队,看了都爽,不会让人觉得可怜可怜凄凄惨惨那样。去逛逛吧,入门票才60元台币,超值!
入门时会有工作人员分派看大貓熊館的號碼牌。我们很早到,所以看了熊猫才搭游园巴士到鸟园区往下走,省脚力 :P 本来打算看完了熊猫其它的展区快快看看就算,但是啊。。。身在其中你就会不知不觉得放慢脚步,这里的确是有它的自然魅力的。。。

动物园的一些资料:
1)网址:http://www.zoo.gov.tw/
2)入園門票(下午4:00停止售票): 全票60元。 遊客列車(9:00-16:30), 單程車資5元(不找零)

Taipei Zoo, a very nice place for kids & adult, family & friends to hang out & spend time there. Yeap, it is very tidy & neat, and of course, well plan. More like a 'park' than a Zoo :) Only 60NT, super worthy. Visited the Panda showroom first, then take the shutter bus up to the Bird World & walk down to save some energy.

Entrance tickets stop issuing on 16:00, NT60. Shutter bus from 9:00-16:30, 5NT per trip, gotto prepare the exact change oh.

入门处,捷运出口1,动物园就在右侧
Entrance, MRT exit 1, Zoo is on your right.

I love this red panda!!!!! Its fur is truely nice! There are few of them oh, running up and down.
大黑熊,还有一只褐色的。我们一致认为这是和熊棉公仔最相似的动物。。。
Looks very similar with the bear stuffed toy oh.

都冷的躲在一旁。。。看到没有,都很‘有肉’哦
So cold till all hide aside, but see, all of them fit fit ...
夜行動物館, 有很多珍兽哦。但是要考考你得眼力。拍照记得关闪光灯,不然被骂就自讨没趣。。。
Nocturnal Animal House, tons of rare species! Please remember to off the flash, even if you accidnently on the flash while taking photo, the changes of get screwed by other tourists is still very high...
