Tip of Borneo... At Last...

MooMoo and gang had a good night zZz and woke up fresh the next morning for their 'Tip of Borneo' trip. All backpacks goes to the back of the van and off we go after our early breakfast. Our lovely, funny guide was very nice and friendly. She brought us for late breakfast again and ta-pau some food for lunch for our trip as the journey is about 3 hours from KK town.

On the way... we actually stop by to buy some snacks, like BBQ corns and some junk food. Think we keep buying and eating non-stop during the trip.

After long 3 hours sitting in the van... listening to 'IPOH FM'... Piggy and her hometown B.F.F. we actually reached the 'Tip of Borneo' a.k.a. 'Simpang Mengayau'.

MooMoo actually visited KK few years back and wanted to visit 'Tip of Borneo' but didn't make it due to some crazy, idiotic driver who wanted to bring us there by his Kancil...

This trip we made it there but the weather was not good so we didn't get to spend much time there and walk around the beach and all. Anyway, we left our footprints there... and snap some good shots with the grey skies right before it rained heavily....

If the weather was Sunny, the pictures would look even better.... Anyway, it gives different feel... hahah...

Just so tempted to take a picture like this here... pointing to the little Island at the horizon... not sure what Island is that though... ^=^

Reaching KK...

The trip was supposed to be from 9th till 12th March 2011 BUT due to no flights flying from SG to KK on the 9th with the right timing... we had to fly in 1 day earlier and stayed a night in KK town. We checked in this hotel up on the hill, called 'The Palace Hotel'.

The hotel was very nice with lots of facilities like gym, swimming pool, jaccuzi and all but we didn't really get to use them all coz we just spent 1 short night there and take off early next morning to start our journey to 'Tip of Borneo'.

After checking in the hotel, we all went out for a late dinner/supper coz we were all damn hungry. We went to eat at 'Pappa Rich' having all the local Malaysian food like Prawn Noodle, Char Kueh Tiaw and Dry Curry Horfun.... drinking Teh Tarik. ^=^

Didn't really have time to try all the local food coz our trip is pretty short and timing is really tight... but overall, our food during the trip ain't that bad... just that we didn't get to eat the famous SEAFOOD. MooMoo ate it the last round in KK but just can't remember how it tasted...

Virgin Climbing Adventure: MooMoo Made It! ^=^

MooMoo made it to the PEAK during her Virgin Mountain Climbing. Thank GOD she made it up and down safely though she's a bit disappointed she could not see the rising of the 'egg-yolk' at the mountain peak and did not manage to do the 'Via-Ferrata' activities signed up.

MooMoo and her gang was saying maybe all should train up and try to climb to the peak again in 2 years time to make it to see the rising of the 'egg-yolk' and complete the 'Via-Ferrata' activities. Well, things are unpredictable... will see in 2 years time. Hehehe... ^=^

Below is a summary of the KK Itinerary:

Day1: 8th March - Reach KK town – Check in The Palace Hotel - go Supper
Day2: 9th March - Tip of Borneo Day trip – long journey
Day3: 10th March - Day 1 Climb to Laban Rata through Timpohon Trail
Day 4: 11th March -Day 2 Climb from Laban Rata to the Peak
Day 5: 12th March -Poring cancelled – detour to market then to Airport


* MooMoo didn't realize that the climb is that tough... legs aching for 5 days... knees really busted after the climb... getting old dy...keke....

Lazying during Weekends...

Something unusual in MooMoo's weekend routines...

MooMoo did not go to GYM at all on Sat and Sun. Initially, supposed to go for a running workshop in Geylang Serai CC on Sat afternoon but ended up staying at home coz raining heavily. Hmm... maybe MooMoo just finding excuse to stay at home. Hahaha...

She's even so good gal that she went to church. Yea... 'Amazing Grace' leh...

Other than attending the mass at church, MooMoo actually spent whole day at home doing her 'ART' project. It was something pretty satisfying... as she have not touched any of her craft stuff for a very long time... can't even remember when was the last time.

MooMoo ended up sleeping at 3am watching HK drama while doing her 'ART' project.

The next day, supposed to go out to GYM for some stretching classes and Yoga BUT... ended up going for late brunch with Chicky and family. After that, did a whole day of housework cleaning up the whole house, tidying up the room, changing all the bedsheets and throw away all the unwanted stuff. Guess that's also a form of exercise. Hahaha...

Really must get back to GYM for usual routine soon. Must get back in shape in order to make it for the coming 2 half marathons in May. One 12km coming up for training in early April

* Just noticed this phrase from a book I bought... "How many chances do you have to get it RIGHT?" Hmmm... not many I guess....

Countdown to KK...^=^

Tomorrow evening, MooMoo and Piggy will be heading to KK....

And the coming Thursday they will head up the Mount KK. Hope both will conquer the mountain by conquering ourselves to reach the peak... Hope can see the rising of the egg yolk at the peak...



All the best of luck to us!! ^=^


* MooMoo wonders how can some people be so "38" and can be so mean... hurting people with their words and actions... over and over....

You Don't Know... I Don't Know either...

You Don't Know
--- by Milow

Sometimes everything seems awkward and large
Imagine a Wednesday evening in march
Future and past at the same time
I make use of the night start drinking a lot
Although not ideal for now it's all that I've got
It's nice to know your name

You don't know you don't know
You don't know anything about me

An ocean a lake I need a place to drown
Let's freeze the moment because we're going down
Tomorrow you'll be gone
You're laughing too hard this all seems surreal
I feel peculiar now what do you feel
Do you think there's a chance that we can fall

You don't know you don't know
You don't know anything about me
What do I know I know your name
You don't know you don't know
You don't know anything about me anymore

I gave up dreaming for a while
I gave up dreaming for a while

I've noticed these are mysterious days
I look at it and like a jigsaw puzzle and gaze
With wide open mouth and burning eyes
If only I could start to care
My dreams and my Wednesdays ain't going nowhere
Baby baby baby you don't know

You don't know you don't know
You don't know anything about me
What do I know I know your name
You don't know you don't know
You don't know anything about me

* Turn Left? Turn Right? Stay still.... Move forward? Sigh....

Something More...

Something More...
by Secondhand Serenade

I lie awake again, my bodies feeling paralysed
I can’t remember when
I didn’t live through this disguise
The words you said to me
They couldn’t set me free

Im stuck here in this life i didn’t ask for
There must be something more,
Do we know what we’re fighting for?

Breathe in breathe out

And all these masks we wore
We never knew what we had in store

Breathe in breathe out

The storm is rolling in
The thunders loud it hurts my ears

Im paying for my sins
And its gonna rain for years and years

I fooled everyone and now what will i become?
I have to start this over
I have to start this over

There must be something more,
Do we know what we’re fighting for?

Breathe in breathe out

And all these masks we wore
We never knew what we had in store

Breathe in breathe out

I fooled everyone and now what will i become?
I have to start this over
I have to start this over

There must be something more,
Do we know what we’re fighting for?

Breathe in breathe out

And all these masks we wore
We never knew what we had in store

Breathe in breathe out
There must be something more

Breathe in breathe out
There must be something more


* Does nightmares mean anything in particular or it is just something formed from too much thinking... or all the crazy unwanted images corrupted in the mind?!?

Hiking at Bukit Timah

MooMoo had her 1st Hiking outing last Sunday (20th Feb 2011) morning.

MooMoo had an enjoyable 2 hours hike at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve with 4 of her gym mates. It's been 2 years since she last been there. This time round the hike seems to be much easier compared to last time. Maybe thanks to her gym routine.


We almost got attacked by the monkeys when we ate our breakfast on the way to the entrance of the park. We quickly put away our buns. Hahaha...

Didn't really manage to take much pictures coz didn't bring the camera along. Just took few snapshots with the handphone along the way....

We walked along the path... across the jungle trails... up and down the stairs... up and down the hilly slopes.... bit slippery due to the rain the day before...

Along the way... met some monkeys... picture bit blur and monkey looked away... haha...

Shoes got very dirty after hiking... luckily it's black colour so can't really see that it's dirty...

MooMoo supposed to train for her Mt. KK climb, which is only about 10 days away... but don't think one little hike will help much... hahaha.... Hope her knees will survive the climb.

Wish her all the very best of luck!!! ^=^

1st Trip in Year 2011

MooMoo’s very 1st trip in year 2011 and it’s in the beginning of the year. It is usually very unlikely for MooMoo to travel early of the year, other than the usual CNY travel routine with her family. This year there’s no overseas CNY travel due to some unavoidable circumstances but we still have some fun family gatherings. I guess the important thing is the company and not the location.

This year, early Jan 2011 MooMoo's travelling to Japan had been exceptional coz one of MooMoo’s buddy had the urge to go Japan and visit her so called ‘heng-tais’ and it just had to be Winter in order to see them bathing in onsen while snowing. So, MooMoo decided just to tag along and have fun. MooMoo managed to drag Ms. Mo along to join in the fun.

Have fun now and suffer later coz towards the 2nd half of the year, no more leaves. Boo Hoo Hoo!!! Anyway, MooMoo had GREAT fun and experiences LOTS of drama while traveling in Japan with her 2 buddies, Tapir and Ms. Mo.

No One Understands

No One Understands
---Bayside

I've always played the fool around here
I'm starting to worry that
I rush through life forgetting to breathe
We all need some time to adapt
No one understands
No one understands what it's like

I had high hopes of silver and gold
I thought things could change for the best
My mom always said I was made for a saint
But I never felt I was blessed
No one understands
No one understands
No one understands what its like

I got your cure right here
Is that what you wanna hear?
I played the fool too many times
I've been catching up for all my life
And it seemsIt gets harder to believe
It gets harder but be honest
If the sun don't shine tomorrow,
We'll survive

I turn this up as loud as it goes
And it ain't doin' much for the pain
It's up to me and the heart on my sleeve
That hasn't quite been the same
No one understands
No one understands
No one understands what it's like

I got your cure right here
Is that what you wanna hear?
I played the fool too many times
I've been catching up for all my life
And it seems
It gets harder to believe
It gets harder but be honest
If the sun don't shine tomorrow,
We'll survive

I'm in a field of land mines
A cruise ship to hell oh
But I dont think about that
It's so hard to find help these days
When everyone's counting on me
But I'm burnt already

I got your cure right here
Is that what you wanna hear?
I played the fool too many times
I've been catching up for all my life
And it seems
It gets harder to believe
It gets harder but be honest
If the sun don't shine tomorrow,
If the sun don't shine tomorrow,
If the sun don't shine tomorrow,
Then we'll survive
