Care

It's not really a bad thing to be concerned about your love ones and shower them with affection & care. But at times, people tend to go overboard by being unduly/excessively concerned about the people they love. This is prevalent in various relationships, be it, parents to children, bfs to gfs, teachers to students, humans to their pets and vice versa etc.

I am not demanding you to stop caring about me. I just dont want you to control whatever I am doing as it's simply a mere restriction to my freedom.It's nothing but like being locked up in a virtual cage. Imagine people telling you not to do this and not to do that when they dont even have the right to gain control over your life. Being a control freak aint a value destroying way to show how much you love someone.

A guy may care for a girl too much and got easily jealous which would lead to an unhappy ending in pursuit of the girl. A father may control everything his son does and causes retaliation from the son. A teacher may expect too much from her student which eventually demotivates the student.

It's no longer loving the person if you care about the person too much, it will just bring about hatre which results in relationships among people to deteriorate. Sometimes you dont really have to do so much to love someone as in fact they already know.:)

*Jealousy is a way of telling someone that you care for them too much to let them go*

Above is our schedule during the Gunung Angsi trip. I experienced a lot throughout the trip such as:

Carrying a huge backpack weighing around 10 KG and moving against the force of gravity as i
climbed uphill. For first timers like me, it was definitely torturing, plus I didnt go gym or exercised like my friends who went.

Using the mountain water for cooking and washing purposes. Some people  even drank it. I didnt drink though (bought 3 1.5 litres of water in my backpack)  but my group leader told me that mountain water is super nice to drink. :)

I had to pee stressfully at the bushes along the path towards the peak of Gunung Angsi. But frankly you wouldnt be peeing often as the water u drank would be excreted from your body as you perspired. For those who wanna pass motion, they would have to borrow a 'parang' and find a 'safe' spot to dig a hole.

I saw some extraordinary large ants which you could never get to see at your household, it was freaking scary.

I ate just 2 pieces of bread and i really regretted it as your body would be needing plenty of energy as you climb up the slopes

Along the journey up the peak i took extra caution to stay away from centipedes if they appear or snakes. Well too imaginative perhaps. I only managed to see ants and various flying insects. But heard a cacophony of unfathomable sounds made by many species of living things.

Had an awesome view from the peak managed to see my first sunset and sunrise moment. It was also my first time staying overnight in the mountain. Do you know that you can still sms and make calls at the peak? xD

Jumpshot at the peak

Played cards such as chor dai di and monopoly deal there as we got nothing much to do other than those experience members busy seeking means to set up a shelter  for us.

I learnt to set up my first dome with my friends and the guidance of my pro group leader. I had to sleep inside with 2 other friends

Pro group leader at the centre

I lost the mat i borrowed thus i had to sleep under a cushionless surface. It was a rare sleepless night for me.

The weather at the peak was seriously chilling. I was kinda freezing throughout the night. The midnight rain made the surroundings even colder.

The dinner cooked that night was kind of awesome. Too bad i couldnt get to eat much as everyone took as much as they could whilst i merely took one or two rounds. :( I ate with gusto after a long day and really made myself look like some beggar.

Meagre amount of food T_T

The next day we had milo and bread for breakfast. 'The milo tasted like seaweed' ----- a remark from my group mate.

As we descended from the peak, i realized i enjoyed ascending rather than going downhill. Maybe it was because of my phobic towards height. The route was also more challenging as i hardly face much problem other than tiredness when I climbed uphill. There was one point where we had to help ourselve down by clinging on the rope tied by some kind souls. My leg was shaking was i climbed down. Thankfully i mustered some courage coupled with great help by some experienced members i managed to overcome that obstacle :) Thanks guys.

The scary point

I got myself bitten by a dog too. It hurts the leader of the trip told me the dog received immunization injection prior to this so it's safe after applying alcohol and antiseptic to clean the wound.

Normally we would pray hard that it wouldnt rain. Unfortunately, God was against our prayers as we had to trek under the rain. I decided not to put on my raincoat as i couldnt find it from my huge backpack. The pathway was definitely slippery and i fell down at least 3 times. There were several times where I lost my balance. My heart was racing throughout the journey down Gunung Angsi.

One of my group mate was attacked by a leech. That was the only time where i saw leech. One of us took out a lighter to burn its body and put some salt on it after removing it from the girl's skin. Blood flowed out at the next instant from the dead leech's body. A disgusting sight.

The rain spoilt some 'camera worthy' moments as i had to protect my camera from getting wet.

I enjoyed myself throughout this Gunung Angsi expedition albeit suffering most of the times. Those are life long experience where money couldnt buy. And it was also a pleasure to meet some new friends there.

Unhealthy Day

**OMG it's nearly 10 o'clock**

My first thought when i woke up. I was supposed to have a 9 am class but it seemed that i overslept. I am that kind of person who hates to enter the class when the lesson is halfway through. And so i decided to attend the class during the break knowing that I usually have a 30 minutes break under that lecturer.







It was still early in the morning. As i had not taken my breakfast i decided to join my fren and his roommate for a sumptious MCD breakfast meal@Pyramid. I didnt expect myself for being able to join them as i was supposed to have a class going on. But my mischief overpowered my guai guai self. xD

One of the primary conditions to use the printing voucher is a minimum RM 5 puchase of food and we bought the pancake + hashbrown above which costs RM5++

The RM5 purchase and the printing vouchers entitled us to free large breakfast sets ;) It is certainly a worthwhile promotion. My stomach could last till dinner time that day.

I managed to reach class just in time ( the break was just over and our lecturer just entered) Had a fun audit class today.


Later on,
My another friend suddenly asked me out for dinner at pyramid when we were chatting in msn. She wanted to treat me a meal.

We went Wendy's

Haha. Precisely. That's another fast food outlet at Pyramid. She treated me this:

Super yummy chicken like the one sold at KFC + fries ( i didnt take any pic of the fries ).According to my friend, Wendy's is the healthiest fast food outlets. I doubted coz what i think is all fast food outlets are unhealthy. But considering the fact that she goes out more often than I do, I would just accept it :) Btw thanks alot for your yummy treat k.


Well that marks the end of my most unhealthy day of the month.

Seen this before?

Random thoughts

Think wisely people!

On one Sunday, as I walked pass Sunway tes office, there happened to be a crowd of parents and their children enquiring about financial courses like ACCA, ICAEW, CFAB etc.

And yeah I did the same 2 years ago.It wasnt an easy decision as it affects my future career path.

ACCA has turned out to be a cruel course after witnessing and experiencing the harshness of it. Imagine a marathon race, with every participant started running at the same point, but eventually, only some people were able to reach the ending point very quickly whereas some were left far behind, some were even forced to quit the race due to injury and so on. It clearly reflects life in ACCA.

I personally think that many people undermine the consequences for taking ACCA for granted. You will have 10 friends beside you in your first sem but ended up being alone in your final sem. This is no joke. You might also end up being left far behind from your friends who have successfully completed the course and you are still struggling to pass your lower level papers.

But still many people did it, I should feel proud of my friends who manage to toil the days and successfully enter their final year. Some of them even do everyone proud by winning prizes for certain papers. When i ever ask for opinions from seniors who are now working in the top companies regarding ACCA, they would say it's a stressful journey and you will have to be strong to overcome the endless hurdles that are getting into your way but still it is never impossible to reach the end point of it.

MOTIVATE yourself

Despite taking a serious attitude towards it, i wanna tell the world that ACCA is not a course for nerds. We can still enjoy our life to a certain extent that we dont neglect our studies.

MOF

On one of the days in Sunway Pyramid, my friends and I decided to step into the newly opened japanese sweets and coffee shop a.k.a MOF (Ministry of Food) This cafe originates not from Japan but Singapore.

View from the inside

The menu

I ordered this peach shake for RM 13 inclusive of the 10 percent service charge

My friend ordered this the green powder like substance is bitter to eat u have to the round thing with the spices

This one cost RM 8 for small and RM 12 for big. It is more worthwhile to order the big one since there is a huge difference between small and big.

Not too sure what those are, i just took a picture of it at the counter

the outside view of the cafe

There're many varieties of other fresh desserts i cant possibly be trying all.There is another branch @ Pavillion for your information. Here's the official website http://www.ministryoffood.com.sg/
