DREAMS AND MEMORIES

It has simply been an amazingly awesome week on the whole. Though there were ups and downs, tired times and happy times, I would say that there has been a good balance and combination of everything.

This week has been full of ‘First Time’ incidents. First time:

1) Having such a long consecutive road trip

2) Driving down to Johor

3) Cramming with Camy into the top deck of a bunk bed [which is actually meant for 1 person only]

4) Practically living out of a luggage bag

5) Feeling so drained out every night that I drift off to Slumberland almost as soon as I hit the bed

6) Snapping so many pictures for 7 consecutive days

7) Setting up my Camera with the Tripod myself – after some tutorials from Edgar of course.

8) Attempting night photography of moving lights

9) Tasting Chocolate with really strong alcohol encased within

10) Finding my way based solely on instincts and without a map – who says girls have a bad sense of direction ^_^

All in all, a wonderful trip with plenty of memorable experiences and moments. :-)

The entire road trip was mainly a means for us to reach Johor for the Inter Campus Gathering (ICG) 2009. Lucky me, I get to attend all 3 ICGs organized by the 3 Coordinating Councils. Simply a great pre-ICG + ICG + post ICG trip. I’ve included some teaser photos taken in Melacca below. Enjoy!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I finally got about to watching Transformers 2 : The Revenge of the Fallen yesterday and it was AWESOME!!

Was at the edge of my seat wondering what was in store in the next scene. The effects were cool and amazing. On the whole a totally satisfying movie with a good combination of humour, action, and a good solid story plot. Been waiting to watch this movie with group of friends since it first went on screen but had to keep putting it off for one reason or another.

Anyway, am glad I watched it before trudging back to my ‘hot jungle’ university to roast for the coming semester. Thank goodness its the final semester. One more stretch to go and then I’ll be done. Yippiee!!!

While passing time before the movie, had dinner with my friend at Dragon-i. I got into my photo taking frenzy again and took some pictures of our yummy dishes. ^_^

So sorry for the delay in putting up this post. This marathon was in actual fact one week ago. Unfortunately I fell sick the next day after the marathon and had to be kept on bed rest. My fever wouldn’t subside to the point that the doctor suspected I was down with dengue fever. Thank goodness the fever finally subsided and so conclusion is I don’t have dengue. ^_^

So anyway, this is the first ever marathon that I’ve participated in. Took no small amount of coaxing and persuading from both Dean and Ivan for me to join them. Well, not exactly join them in the same event, as they were going for the 21 km marathon. For me, I was opting to go for the 10km marathon.

To be REAAAAALLLLLYYYY honest, 10 km seemed to be a really long distance for me. What’s more join them in the 21 km marathon. Might just faint halfway and apart from getting left behind by majority of the crowd and the smallest possibility of not finishing the marathon.

Thank goodness I managed to finish 10km in the end and within a time frame of 1 hour 35 minutes and 34 seconds to boot. Guess all the training of morning runs I’ve been doing at KLCC park did pay off after all.

At the end of it, 10 km did not seem all too far after all. Actually managed to run continuously for 6 kilometres and alternate between running and fast walking for the remainder of the distance. Thanks to my trustworthy Ipod for keeping me company the whole time.

This whole new very green (supposedly environmental friendly) look for my blog actually started unintentionally. The initial plan was to just change / update my banner since today is a public holiday.
