What A Day!

I went for rafting for the first time in my life! What a great experience! We (me, my bro, bro's friend, cousin en de  gank) went to Binjai for it, who knows we can play rafting in Binjai (no offence) and who knows Binjai has such a potential resort. I've forgotten the name of the river. But seriously, it's a great river, with clean and cold water, and beautiful cliff.

Boat friends (Suwandi (if I'm not mistaken, sorry :P), bro, Siau Mei, Me, Anthony, Septian (billion thanks!))

Feel the chill to swim?

So, here is the mighty cliff. Looks not so high from below. But when you are up there, and about to jump, your knees will start to shake. Happened to me :P I jumped off twice. One, I was pushed by an uncle (who started to be impatient coz I was standing up there for million seconds and not jumped :P) and two, I pushed myself to jump. Result? Ecstatic feeling! FYI, my bro jumped off there six times!

Break after an hour fighting with the nature. Enjoy the C-O-C-O-N-U-T!

The last challenge, and we did it!

Singapore 08

An update almost forgotten to be posted...

My friends and I went to Singapore for Christmas holiday last year '08. Short holiday yet memorable one. 

So there the cast were: 

The Kepala Suku: Mega

The Secretary: Me

The Konco and Narcissists from Palembang(L-R): Adi, Li Mei, Cecilia, Maria and Grace

The Super Duper Helpful friend: Bella. Thanks lotsa! 

The Uniquely Singapore!

We reached there almost midday with six hours later than the schedule. The cause of delay? KTM! Cheap yet undependable (in term of time).

First meal in SporeFirst visit: Science Centre

Queuing for tickets 

There are many interesting things to see in science centre, sadly we didn't have enough time to explore all. I went up to the second floor only.

I found many unique cafes and their decorations

The building looks like a box of crayon, for me. Don't you agree?

Then, we met this aunty who bought many boat tickets, but her friends called off last minute and she sold us the tickets half price! So, we sailed from upstream to downstream :P

The proud of Spore

Question: Did we stay in Shangri-La Hotel? Yes, next to it - RELC :P

For me, it's totally incomplete if you go to Singapore and not visit its zoo. So, Mega and I went there, while others were busy shopping. Welcome to the Zoo! Cheese!

We were so excited meeting the polar bear. But he was having his break. Sad, What I can see was only half of his body ;(

Hi Gloria! Sunbathing?

But I was ecstatic when I met this kangaroo Jack

Mega and I agreed that compared to Singapore Zoo, Malacca Zoo has many collection of different animals. Of course, Kangaroo, the lazy Polar Bear, and Hippopotamus are special case. 

Next Stop-Malaysia, Truly Asia!

There was not much interesting thing in KL except its huge Christmas trees in every malls. But one special thing happened in Genting. We met this lil girl on our way out of casino. Her parents basically deposited her daughter in one of deposit centres there. But she was just enjoying herself. No complain or cry from her. What a wonderful girl! (with terrible parents)

See ya at the next holiday!
