Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary

Wak.. Had to wake up so early, 6 am ..

After taking bath, we , all boys cycled to college to wait for bus. The bus was quite punctual, departed at 7am.

On the way to deerland, we listened to 3 repeated songs for umpteen times. The songs were 'What a Wonderful World','Season in the Sun' and 'You Raise Me Up'. I fell asleep finally..

Finally, at 9.30am, we reached the deer land in Kuala Gandah, Pahang. Then, we had to wait for the deerpark to open at 10am. We spent half an hour by crapping , taking some photos, bla bla bla..



We went into the deer park. First , we saw the deers from Indonesia. According to the deer park owner, Abdullah, those deers came from Indonesia. There were 3 types of deers there, namely Indonesia, Taiwan and Malaysia (mouse deer). We fed the deers also. The deers looked like very aggressive, so desperate to eat ..

Then, we went to feed the bird and chicken. Nothing special here, only some cute chicks..

We then took photo with python. 1 lady from China was so afraid of the snake , quickly escaped from it, when Abdullah put the snake around her neck. Almost all my friends took the photo already (except Ornella, the Iban girl). I wanted to take also. He(Abdullah) put the snake around my neck and my body. I felt so not comfortable and 'geli' that there was something kept turning around me..

We then went to feed bear, ostrich, rabbit and finally the sunbear(the smallest bear in the world, according to him also).



We continued our journey to elephant conservation center.We had our lunch there.We ate the dishes we had prepared earlier( sandwiches were prepared from 4am, according to Yun Huan) .

We then went to watch a documentary about elephant capture.Boring film.. I almost fell asleep inside like Baem and ah Perng.

After that, we went to feed elephant. I was able to see how big the tongue of an elephant . Wah..

There was an elephant riding session after that.This the first time I rode on an elephant.I felt so 'geli' and 'gatal' because there was a lot of hair on the elephant's skin. Anyway, good experience..

Elephant bathing session. People rid on the elephant will be fallen down with elephant into the river. Haha, they all looked so happy and siok. Too bad that I forgot to bring my towel,extra underwear , extra shorts.. All my friend used the opportunity to play in the water, although the water was not so clean.. This is the first time also i saw Haslina took off her 'tudung'.. Hihi

After that, we went to Bentung waterfall.


After an one-and-a-half-hour journey on the bus and listening to the 3 same songs again, we reached there, the waterfall. This time, only 2 of us, Ah Perng and I didn't play in the water..Sigh..


Finally, we reached KBU at around 7.45pm. We all had dinner together before going back home.

The lesson I learnt is --Before going out for a trip that play in the water, remember to bring along extra underwear, shirt,shorts and towel..

Oktoberfest

Today is the special day. Why say so? As today is the 1st day of German Oktoberfest.

The Oktoberfest is a 16 day festival held each year in Munich, Bavaria, Germany during late September and early October. It is one of the most famous events in the city and the world's largest fair, with some six million people attending every year.

The event traditionally takes place during the 16 days up to and including the first Sunday in October. In 1990, the schedule was modified in response to German reunification so that if the first Sunday in October falls on the 1st or 2nd, then the festival will go on until October 3rd (German Unity Day). Thus, the festival is now 17 days when the 1st Sunday is October 2nd and 18 days when it is October 1st. The festival is held on an area named the Theresienwiese (Field [or meadow] of Therese), often called "d’ Wiesn" for short. Beer plays a central role in the fair, with every festival beginning with a keg of beer tapped by the Mayor of Munich who declares "O'zapft is!" (Bavarian: "It’s tapped!"). A special Oktoberfest beer is brewed for the occasion, which is slightly darker and stronger, in both taste and alcohol. It is served in a one-liter-tankard called Maß. The first mass is served to the Bavarian Prime Minister. Only local Munich breweries are allowed to serve this beer in a Bierzelt, a beer tent which is large enough for thousands.

Visitors also consume large quantities of food, most of it traditional hearty fare such as sausage, hendl (chicken), käsespätzle (cheese noodles), and sauerkraut, along with such Bavarian delicacies as roast ox tails.

Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the Munich event.

The actual Oktoberfest in Germany


At 4 pm, we ,almost all boys went to the festival.

The October Fest was held in Rainforest in 1 Utama.On the way , we saw 1 World Game Tournament(WGC).The games that the players were playing were Counter Strike, Need For Speed......




Actually, we aimed for the beer which cost RM 1 (two 50 sen coins) per bottle. Oh god ! Where can we find such a cheap beer? Imported German beer somemore.We queued up for about half an hour.I could see some foreigners here. May be they were German.

When the time was 10 seconds more to approach 5pm, the host started counting down.
"10,9,8......0"

Yeah, after a long wait, we bought the German beer. I saw some of friends finish 1 bottle in less than 1 minute. Amazing!! Then, they went to queue up again to buy another bottle. The authority mentioned that they could only purchase another bottle of beer with the empty bottle + RM 1.After that, I managed to finish my first bottle of beer in my life. Haha.




Then, i felt hungry. I went for some German food, I ordered kaesller bacon. It cost me RM 10, argh. So few food only.. It consisted of 2 hams (pork), 1 bread, some rotten cabbage (quite sour)...




When I was ordering food, i saw this..




At the same time,a German band was singing their native songs in German language. I couldn't understand any, but the songs were quite nice.






This is the photo of my friend, Jonathan, with the 10 -pin -bottle


That 's all.

Check this out!

It will follow your mouse pointer.

Move your cursor around, and kitty's head and eyes will follow it. Scratch her head, and she'll meow. Rub her tummy, and she'll purr.

Enjoy..

Rapid KL..

Talking about Rapid KL bus, I really want to comment something.

Last Saturday, when I came back from Sungai Petani, I rode Rapid KL back to Bandar Utama. On the way, I could see some bad attitudes of the driver.

Before the bus started departing, the driver scolded an Indian girl for not taking initiative to pay for the bus ticket. However , before this, the driver disappeared and i didn't know where he was going, may be toilet..

After that , on the LDP highway, there was a man who carried a lot of things, wanted to ride the bus. However, he didn't have any small change. So, the driver just dropped him in the next bus stop, IN THE RAIN...


Oh my goodness, if this situation happens to the tourists , how? oo

Sunway Carnival Mall again..-->Penang

...continued

On the next day, after taking lunch, we went to the Sunway Carnival Mall again..

I managed to buy a pair of sports shoes (Reebok) and a pair of socks(Nike). I seldom bought branded stuff. I bought it yesterday because it only cost me RM89.90(normal price =RM 239.90) ..I think it might be a old old stock..




After that , we headed to cinema to watch movie.My parents went to watch Resident Evil:Extinction. I thought it was a movie about a heroine was going to kill all the monsters which were humans infected by disease.Too bad i couldn't watch that movie as i was below 18.


So, i had to accompany my brother to watch this movie:

I thought that this would be a 3D animation movie like Toy Story, Monster Inc., and so on.I was wrong.It was a live action(acted by people) movie plus some 3d animation. The story described a young boy found a magic gourd, which can do anything he wanted. Then he came to realize the magic gourd had become his burden and decides to get rid of it, which proved not easy.

There were a lot of funny scenes inside the movie.For example, the boy was too angry with the gourd（葫芦）because it caused a lot of trouble to him.The boy said, "我恨不得想把你切成两半。" That gourd cut himself into half, said, “是不是这样切啊？” Haha, lots of laughters..


At night , we went to Penang to have dinner.We went to this shop







buffet style steamboat


I ate too many prawns..

We managed to go back before raining cats and dogs


That's all. Thanks for reading

Coming back home---> Sunway Carnival Mall

Waiting for 3 months, I m home now!!!

I woke up at 6.30 am because i was afraid that i will be late.We(Choon Seong, Jonathan and I) left the student house at 8am after finishing everything.

After taking taxi and 2 LRT s , we reached PUDU, but there was a notice outside the counter there, written "SEMUA BAS YANG KE UTARA AKAN BERTOLAK DI JALAN DUTA". We had to take a shuttle bus to go to Jalan Duta.

The bus departed at 12pm from Jalan Duta(finally...)

Finally, after a boring- 5-hour bus ride, i reached Butterworth..YEAH

My parents came to fetch me at the bus stop.After that, they took me to the Sunway Carnival Mall, which was just opened on June 22th.

I had my 'lunch' there at 6pm..





Now, I really understand “回家的感觉真好“.

To be continued...

PortableApps Suite 1.0

Never heard it before? Never mind , let me explain a little bit..

From this site
, we can see that this application is a quite convenient stuff.When we use college computer, sometimes we can't find the software we want.For example, when we want to download songs, the transfer speed is damn slow.We can't find any download tools inside the computers.Yet, the computer don't even have java and flash player pre-installed , so we can't even watch videos online..

PortableApps Suite 1.0 is a good solution for this type of trouble.We download this setup files, them install on our removable drives(usually refer to USB drive).The most important software inside is Firefox Portable(1 of the alternatives of Internet Explorer).Using this program, we no need to worry about flash player(we need to install it manually*) and the java thing..

*after installing the suite, you go to open any site required flash player, then there will be yellow bar on top, click it, Firefox will find install player itself

1 more thing,I find that there are a lot of good applications besides firefox, such as Open Office(the functions is almost same like Microsoft Office), Sudoku...

To download this suite, use this link
