This gonna be long winded, if u don��t feel like reading, plz proceed to the picture, cause I wanted to write it for my own record n memories.. :D

On the Saturday (lol I lost count of my actual day at Bali) was the last day for us to do all the fun activities, and it was the best day ever in Bali, because we never gave up on our thoughts of going to hike Mt Batur at Kintamani ~ one of the famous yet active volcano in Bali.

We called Bali Sunrise Tour to arrange for the trip and they charged us 35USD with breakfast at a restaurant (bringing us from Kuta to Kintamani). To be informed that, those that plan to hike Mt Batur, you are required to go through a travel agent to arrange for you or you can go there and look for The Association of Mt Batur Trekking Guide to hire their guide to lead you up to the summit. Or you can call 0366/52362 or their email [email protected] before you make your plan or ask for the weather condition, I think they don��t check their email, lol cause when I try to email them weeks ago, there is still no reply from them, hence calling is the best choice if you don��t want to deal with the travel agent.

We started our journey at 2am in the Saturday morning, with the van with air condition sent by the Bali Sunrise Tour (the road journey to Mt Batur was not a pleasant one, as in I have dog��s nose and scent emission from the exhaust @@����) but overall was good as the tour guide from the company was explaining to us that it will took 2 hours to reach Mt Batur so we can sleep in the car).

Upon arrival, we were stunt by the cold temperature, hontoni tsumetai desu, thank god I bring my jacket and towel with me (erm we were not told to bring jacket or wear proper attire! �V okla we were abit silly)

When we step out from the van, we were amazed by the dark clear sky with beautiful stars hanging and blinking at us, as if welcoming us to Mt Batur (such an amazing views, and I don��t think ill forget about it, too bad my camera was not that capable of capturing the beautiful sky view).

While I was busy watching the sky, there come a guide, introducing himself stating he will be our guide to lead us to the summit of Mt Batur, and he keep saying this.

��You very cantik la @@������ - Means you are very beautiful @@���� and refused to let my hand go after a firm shake @@���� haha�K.

While everyone (MY SIL, SIL��s Friend and SIL��s MOM) still amazed by the sky, our main guide ~ Gede (I MISS HIM!!!!!!) was saying let��s go, off me and my brother be the lead to start off our journey at 3.45 or 3.50am, we only have one thing in mind�K catch the sunrise :D followed by the other 3 with another guide.

The first quarter or half route was easy as in flat form, but since the sky was dark, we hardly see, I only look at my bro��s step to hike Mt Batur. While my bro was looking at Gede��s steps with his flash light, later my brother switch places with me as ill be following Gede��s steps.

We stop at the huge tree for some rest before continue the hike as well as waiting for my SIL��s group. And thank god I still get to look into the beautiful dark sky.

Along the way, Gede was so quiet until half of the route he started talking, lol I think we were too noisy for him. We were asking this and that, and we keep asking for TAXI to fetch us up to the summit. Or helicopter 4 roda (4 wheels helicopter). We have to slow down as we have to wait for SIL��s Mom, (give her applause, she is retiree and yet she managed to do all the youngs�� stunt, even the Guides were amazed by her and say, Mama KUAT! Mama STRONG!, of course she was accompanied by 2 personal guides lol.)

Later our team was pass through by a late comer group and we said hello, and off them go and passes us. Haha I know we were the amateur, and gosh they were wearing proper attire and proper SHOES !! (remember the trip we said we wanted to go t Mt Batur but raining heavily? Yup we reach the destination and there was a guy telling my bro is ok to wear slipper as the route is easy to walk, so everyone of us wore slippers to hike the Mt Batur :P). Even Gede and another guide were laughing at us, but of course, me telling him�K we r KUAT :P.

By the way, ended up my team have the most guide, although we were suppose to have 2, since we were so slow, and there was one guy joined our team, he is the water seller, age 17, High schooler, everyday he hike Mt Batur to sell water at the summit, and climb down Mt Batur with his flip-flop (just like mine) in 30minutes to go to school, and we SALUTE HIM!

As the route continue, it get tougher, and Gede was SUPER KIND enough to lend his helping hand, so he was holding my hand all the way up to the summit (half way), pity him, lol but he was super nice, and keep asking me ��Mau Gedong/Gedung�� �V ��Want me to carry?�� and I told him, I am KUAT. But occasionally, im asking for taxi, which his reply was 2 kaki taxi (Means him to Gedong/Gedung me��)

By the way, the stray dogs laughed at us as we hike too slow and blocking their way up the summit @@����.

The view half way through was magnificent, over seeing Mt Agung and the Batur lake and I was telling Gede I just stay here and look at the sunrise instead of going up, but he was such a good motivator, ended up I managed to go up to the summit (although it was like 5min away to summit). The 1st word I say when I reached the summit was ��I SURVIVED W MY FLIP FLOP�� and everyone looked at me.. .LOL . I was having so much fun�K. !!! super much of fun�K.

We bought water from the 17 year old as he helped us too during the hike, (I think we have 4 guides in our team) �V 2 volunteers~~~

Up to the summit, we were the noisiest and most active person busy snapping pictures and posing for the camera, right since we survived our slippers hiking Mt Batur, is something we proud off, later tourist too were busy snapping photos of themselves instead of scenery (I think).

Ended up, they (the hikers) started calling me Sayang, because I was teaching them saying Sayang x12 times in different tone.

Busy posing for the camera ~ we r the Kungfu Fighter lol

Me and Gede (lol my personal guide) if someone happens to know, please tell him I miss him�K and if possible if I can get his contact�K. [silly me for not asking for his contact to keep in touch ��]

After the summit, we continues our journey to the steam, which we need to hike down through another route, I was making noise and refused to go�K lol and later I went too�K. No regret of going down there�K we try to feel the steam, Gede was telling me, it is very hot, so I put my hand there and say is not hot�K he @@���� and we wash our hands too with the Holy Water :D .

Today morning was horrible, I dont get a good sleep because of my head was creating problem to me, imagine, my head was so painful until i wake up from my sleep. The pain was so intense and so hard for me to cope, i twisted around my bed to rest my head so it wont get so painful, at least i think i can try to catch another hour of sleep, but it was not helping.

The pain was as if someone pinched you at the most sensitive part (ur cell) and twisted it over n over again, i covered my head and massaged it but nothing happen, the pain keep coming back and getting worse. until i cant take it anymore and jump off my bed to search for pain killer. Well I managed to get one only, but it is not helping at all.

i tried to knock my dad's room door, to tell him, but im afraid to get yell upon, (well everytime im sick i got all the weird blame) but i know if i dont do so, i will have much worse morning, forced to wake up to work and drive along the road, so i took up my courage and knocked his door,~ yeah i get blame upon the most ridiculous reason but i ignore it.... he bought me painkiller and i have my rest until 12pm. and now sitting infront of the notebook at the office...typing it in...

I been suffering from headache since i could remember, it was just too long ago, the headache follows me everywhere i go, especially when the weather was weird, too hot or hot and sudenly cold and hot again.. im very sensitive to it, often i get one week once or one week twice.... :'(

but since this year, the condition was better, well not often headache but the degree of painfulness were much higher compared to the past @@''

this is the record of the headache for my own reference tho~
10,11 Feb(mild headache) ,6 April & 6 July (lower part) v Painful type

Went for a movie today, and was shocked to see the queue, it was so long, but i rest assured that the movie i wanted to watch was not packed, since everyone was queuing for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

I was the 1st one in the cinema, and when the movie nearly started, only few ppl occupied the cinema... including me was about 7 persons @@'' , my god, i think those producer must be very sad to have their movie on air with Harry Potter, as the movie had divert the audiences.. AW....

Anyway, the movie was nice at least the ending was ok compared to some other movie i been watching...

when women fight for love, is very scary, girls power! The movie was about a mental ill woman who stalked and fantasized her relationship with a married man, which later causes uproar to the family. It doest have some thrill part, but not enough to bring the "WOAH" in me, however, i enjoyed the movie so so much.

the movie able to portrait the love feeling of the couple, i was drawn into the movie of their love life, indeed it was very sweet, and very loving relationship. however, when things happened, it turned up side down where the wife (Beyonce) was upset over her husband's moves of keeping it a secret....

But kinda predictable of how the mental ill woman faith be prior to the ending, and i predicted exactly where the incident will happened which of course i am correct.

Yup enjoyed the movie.. :D, this movie have the same effect on my skipping heart for Firewall years ago....

The plan was simple, a trip to Japan taking JAL, touched down at Tokyo for 2 days, Takayama for 2 days, Kyoto and later Osaka Kansai Airport, however, we "took the wrong plane" and ended up landing at the land of Kimchi instead of Sakura.

Never in my life have a pleasant flight landing, but the plane took to Korea (Korea Air) had a perfect landing (once), but other than that the services were POOR AND BAD AND HORRIBLE AND WORSE IN ALL OTHER FLIGHT W KOREA AIR! - continue next time


Day 1

Reach the Korean International Airport around 730am, and were greeted by a group of Korean Tour Guides who speak fluent Mandarin ~ (poor a family who dont understand n have to wait for translator) and another camera man "Tim - bomb hair" who speak little english, little mandarin (as in 1, 2, 3, and TY) and lots of sign language was used when i communicate with him.

Korean Bus Driver, well maybe our bus driver plate 1559 (the number being the joke of the trip) was the best in town, he drove like a Bus F1 Driver...imagine it. most of the time i was horrified by his driving skill...

We visited seagull on top of the ferry, and we get to feed them with prawn cracker, this was the 1st time i experience COLD (LOVING IT)

Later we went to a park, and finally my aunt get to see the maple leaves she was wishing to see at Jeju Island.

Pictures r all in random orders, (taken by Sony Dsc-30) more pictures from my uncle camera,but 1800++ to choose... so i need some times @@''

Continue from the previous post, and nope i didnt take the wrong flight, it was just a joke i make... since i was supposed to go to Japan instead.. but plans changed so we ended up at the land of Kimchi...

Pictures were taken using my cellphone Sony Ericsson w705, because i ran out of battery @@''

Most of the pictures were taken at Seoul, the ladies street, where the female university located, seriously, shopping during winter was boring, especially to us who taste summer 365 days.. nothing much to buy tho... so mostly just side seeing...

Other pictures were taken at Jeju Island, we went for volcano climbing and beach seeing.... it was fun especially the strong wind that blew against our face... we make noise of cold and hot constantly.. as we sweat as we climb, but upon reaching the summit... it was Freaking HOT!...

Our Bus Driver... at Jeju Island.. scary fellow.... but as compared to Seoul Driver.. he is nothing hahaha

Taking Korean Air home was the worse experience i ever had with flights.. the air attendants were rather rude and stu..p because they make a fool out of themselve.

Scenario during Dinner serving
After serving front and the back of the flight, they finally reach our seat area asking us what do we wanted to have for dinner so ... dialogue

(FA= Flight Attendant) (B= Customer)
FA: Mam, we have chicken and beef, which one do you like?
B: erm.. Chicken Please.
FA: Sorry Mam, we no longer have chicken.
B: @@''

To my horror, when i heard they no longer have chicken in stock because i dont take beef.

Later when the FA came to my seat...

FA: Mam, we only have beef left, so is it ok with you (something like that)
Me: sorry i dont take beef.
FA: We have pizza, would you like to have pizza, but you have to wait for 10 minutes.
Me: Ok

After 10 minutes+ of waiting (and im starving) the pizza finally here... WOAH CULTURAL SHOCK.... it is worse than kids meal... kids have so much to eat ... and they expect adult to be full with quarter of what kids meal have...

it was poorly served.. in a small plate.. without water and side dishes... @@'' until i have to ask for it... very bad service...

i was pissed off with the pizza, and i started making so much noise.. of telling my uncle ill start asking for service every 5 minutes... and later the flight attendant came to my service and asked is there anything else she can do...

I told her off by saying, do u expect me to have this pizza for dinner, and later she said....

FA: we have korean style sushi, do u wanted to have it?
Me: yes
FA: but is also BEEF.
Me: IF IS BEEF DONT TELL ME
FA: ok ill see what i can do...

later she brought me the sushi.. which was onigiri.. and i suspect is expired .. but i dont know because it was all in Korean Character.... so i cant make noise...

It was the worse experience ever... !

But the trip from KL to Korea was ok because the pilot have perfect landing~ loving it... but other than that.... Korean Air... was a disaster flight experience!

pizza with bread and cheese n sauce only

onigiri... tuna or salmon cant remember
