TaiPing

update of the previous TaiPing training

group of 34 scholars, shewed the Management Training Programme (MTP) batch 13!

that's me!

well before the training officially started about 4 weeks ago.

me and cy play Age of Empire as if there wasn't tomorrow for us.

we played until the dawn approached.

then we rest. for breakfast.

we gather at TMTC KL then lifted off toward TaiPing.

TaiPing is a wonderful place!

it feels just like highland above the hot and humid altitude.

and the view from my room is great too.

this is my room.

sharing room with another friend from mmu. steven.

the room is pretty messed up. it doesn't matter. i'm a hobo.

this is where we have our classes...

this is what i eat everyday.
food was pretty bad in the cafeteria
gastric turn bad ever since i got here...
that remind me of my first lesson here,
some jerkass from XX trying to show us some shitty videos, lectures
and keep on brainwash us to be "bersyukur" "be grateful"
oh yeah. i am grateful.
but does it worth repay with my gastric?
it makes me instantly hated that jerk.

TaiPing was always in a gloomy mood.
it making me gloomy too.
still i love the weather here! i love the rains too.

a rainy day.

we got to hike up the the Maxwell Hill just the few days we set foot there.
load up with food, energy bar, h2o. i'm good to go!

this is our hero, Mr Jo.
he's an experienced hiker at his 50's

Maxwell Hill foothill.

man. there are about 90+ twists and turns there!


running towards to top!

stop by and pee at the waterfall


approaching the top!

watch tower at the top. spooky!

well. here i am. at the peak of Maxwell Hill

chilling cold upon the peak!

views at top...

well. that's first part. i wasn't sure if i could finish this.
connection was pretty bad here.
in case i can't finish it. just forget it. cheers!
i love TaiPing

Hermitage Mission

A Hermitage Mission.

it begun on a 22nd of September ago
joint with wakey from s'pore, terry, hx, ys & me.
just a group of 5. that's enough for us to attempt a Hermitage Mission
a mission to celebrate a tcxg breakthru in camping,
and to preserve and observe the awesomeness of Hermitage.

timed on 10am
we gather at terry's place, collect some gases

then ponder for ys's return

terry's 60's Volvo in action

hx taking a break in the classic Volvo

terry stares at ys's house

wakey vomits in the drain

a group fisheyes

terry intented to disguise his plate number
i feel sorry for this number's owner

to avoid speeding ticket

upon 12pm. we arrive at the entrance of the jungle treks

hill up to the jungle treks, rubbish were all over. what a disgrace!

road to Hermitage Mission

all gear up for actions

let's roll!

2 of these lads never see swamp before

wakey with his secret weapon

crossing the swamp of leeches to enter the magnificent jungle

in a survival situation like this, it's important to keep your bearing right
keep calm and read thru the direction. especially when it keeps us claustrophobia

a longer than usual, some lost bearing in the jungle floor
we make it to the Hermitage Lagoon
settling up tent, groudsheet, hammock...

while all were busying settling the camp site
wakey busy changing his underpants under the masking of leaves

hx busy fixing his sandal that almost fail him

and me. busy taking photographs of them

wakey helps ys setup the tent

hx collecting precious wood sticks, old man's beard for camp fire

also, putting some sulphur to keep out the snakes

that's wakey

collecting ship wreck that is too big for camp fire

hx concentrates in his wood collecting job

terry with his 20 bucks hammock and his dad's poncho

ys getting frustrated digging his own grave

end up building a nice looking wooden shelter. bravo!

wood collecting never ending

after the site completing. and hx went for afternoon nap
ys, terry and wakey went to play

ys and terry looking for fish

that's our camp site from far

terry and ys in toy figure snorkelling

our base

wakey somehow successfully borrow a dslr from his colleague, Nikon D70s

evening kicks in faster than expected.

luckily our stocks were safe from monkey's attacks
well, let's get the fire started!!!

Heineken, camp fire, food and sea breeze. arghh. that's just alive.

we upgraded our food supplies, with lettuce, pork and some nice sambal chicken.

there's some hatred in terry's eyes...

innocent hx never know. terry hates him.

camp fire! burn your ass off!

wakey. and his personality. a lone ranger.

ys inspecting his smoking hot nugget

after dinner. we play with torches.
signature the TCXG

ys draws the flower for xuan

terry wants his name to be recorded

infra-red lights twining the branch

and terry the infra-red-handed man!

TCXG new signature!

also. stars were all over the dark sky. (super noise attacks!)

that's sum up for the night.
all went to sleep...

upon dawn. in the calm sea belt

our camp site from sea view

ever busy port

broke of dawn

the morning sky

a dirty secret of the port.

beach at infrared.

too bad TCXG still asleep. they missed the astounding view
hx sleeping on dangerous jungle floor. feeding mosquitoes all night long

wakey and ys in tent

this is terry in cacoon hammock. 5 stars rated! safe!

we leave the Hermitage at 12pm.

that rounds up our Hermitage mission.
next mission? Mt. Nuang.

Placement

just a quick update from me.

TM eventually confirmed my permanent placement earlier today.

i'd been place in Complex TM in Cyberjaya starting November 1st,

in Unit Sales Support MSC, Section SME MSC, Division State MSC

don't mind the heading. it's just a title.

i'm just glad.

they gave me what i wanted.

working for the fundamental of Marketing.

and staying in a familiar Cyberjaya which is not far away from nana.

a dog named Vivi

cy and i adopted a local breed dog 2 months ago. 

she was barely 3 weeks old when we adopted her from a china breeder. 

she was just merely bigger than my palm

it's a big blunder 

the owner give her out at 3 weeks old before she weaning

then we have to hand feed her with baby bottle until her teeth grow...

the process is terrible. 

she sleeps a lot when she was a baby

and she's so cute

and now she's 2 and a half month old. 

she'd develop herself into a good poser

she has her own personality. 

there, she poses with her residence area. 

she always stay in her gloomy look

as if she's mature and versatile. 

trust me. she's not. 

that's her comfort zone. 

do not trespass. else, she bites off your toe!!!

she did a lot of things when she's free

she like to look upon the sky

wanting to be an AirAsia airplane and chew off all the cotton clouds

vivi kept chained most of the time

not because she's naughty. 

just because i scare she'll get run over by some errant chinese drivers!!! 

when she's tied up. she always put on her gloomy face

and look outside. 

because she wants to pee and shit all over... on those errant drivers. 

sometime, she like to lay down in her living room 

enjoy her time, 

take a bite of Alpo biscuit with a glass of high class pipe fluid

when everyone else gone to work

she's so bored... 

sad-looking-away-at-the-gate face 

pondering for someone's return. 

vivi's close up portrait.

another powerful personality shot! 

well, don't get fool by those photographs.  

she's not always static !!! 

she's frantic, energetic

and crazy!!! 

" i'll freaking peel your skin off! human! "

during her free time

beside eating, running and shitting;

she likes practice a little singing. 

" argh- aRGh- ArrGh - WOLF!!! " 

she likes to roll over frantically and give you a punch in the hand

follow by bitting off your fingers!

2 months fly by. 

real fast. from Genting work shifted to TM

a baby turn into a teenager. 

but then. due to my training with TM

i'd been moving around a lot lately.

and now i have to move away from the house to Damansara for 2 weeks

then another 3 weeks for outstation induction training. 

i guess i won't be seeing her in a while. 

and her name is vivi.
take care well. vivi.

A Wakey Visit

being another backlog.
it was way before on Merdeka day
which wakey come visit from internship in S'pore
he departs S'pore without even telling me
and call me when he reaches m'sia
using a public phone
whatsoever, having me a hard time to contact him. asshole.
guess that's about of being a nomad
luckily upon reaching the station he saw me in the car.
that's save the nomad from being a hobo.
after some refreshing rest at my house, i mean my temporary rented living room
terry the king arrives at bkt jalil
with him, we head toward to Kajang for the famous satay
Hj. Samuri, wakey scoop this up in some google generated blogs
and he wanted to try for himself
his wish is my command
there he goes. Hj. Samuri.

the peanut sauces are really good

and the sambal too 

we ordered the nasi kempit

and it came out this way

disorientated. unattractive. tasteless. 

totally a failure.

same for cucumber too. 

the satay serves instantly

as if it's McSatay! rapidly!

but it was totally cold 

like a ice block, cool enough to blister your lips

we ordered chicken and beef

chicken was okay. so-so. not bad. can eat and swallow.

but the beef is not okay. very bad. horrible and hard to chew and swallow.

what a shame. 

despite of all the so-so food. 

with who you sharing with is mostly influential

we shared it with joy, overwhelm all the so-so food

that's what friends are for. to camouflage the bad things.

then terry and wakey have so great time to share. 

wakey trying to taste the famous satay after consulted a food blog.

wakey wish to kiss terry. terry confused

chicken satay closely monitor... ... 

looks nice. 

it does taste better than beef. good job!

some deco of Hj. Samuri. 

we reside after those great food. 

slack back at my living room and heck. 

sleep a great!

aside that. 

i eventually call up hai xin tell him about wakey arrival

he almost cried out on the phone

and luckily, he's going for paintball at some rural area on saturday.

greatness. that me, terry and wakey can join!!! WOAH!!!

this is the paintball field. 

battlefield #1. which terry and hee triumphed it. 

looks how happy is hai xin. his eyes are watery wet. they end up kissing each other.

check out the gears. registered. and listen to encik marshall words of wisdom. 

a little photo section of we killed the terrorist. 

terry the photographer.

pose before the battle of the galactics. 

did not has any photo between the battles. 

who has time to photograph while holding a pain-gun? 

group photo

the wiener group. i mean winner. 

paintball aftermath. 

hai xin got killed. 

some goodness me shooting range.

look closely at the middle bottle that has green fluid inside

terry shot it. he pinches the bottle like a sniper. 

the green board.. 

my shots. 5 shots continuously hitting the board that is so big i can't possibly miss

the making of "bullet-proof monk"

directed by terry

choreographed by wakey

acted by the monk

battlefield group photo

hai xin making cute face for wakey

but he wasn't looking. 

too bad.

looking for the paintball place is truly a pain in the ass

the roads lead pass thru the housing area in taman maluri 

and damn hard to find. 

the place is a gem amongst the housing area.

bonus for hungry ghost festival!!! 

boo!! 

green beans that kill you... 

terry keeps on messaging his girlfriend.  

and a comfortable chair was long for terry's butt.

after paintball. we head back at my cribs

hang out and chit chat to the max. 

dinner, i bring wakey to bak kut teh near my crib,

and forbid him from consulting food blogs... 

we were planning to see Merdeka parade on the next morning. 

due to some circumstances of terry fixing his laptop. 

we slept late and missed the 40 minutes parade. 

too bad. 

we got to have brunch at sri petaling 

for delicious dim sum. oh my babe. 

pragmatically. a truly nice brunch. 

the best i ever had. 

Bonus picture of the day:

hee the gun-man. 

credited to wakey. a nomad

p/s:
do not trust food blogs... ...
there are just phony baloney.
