Rupster says "About the Double Holiday Entry"

As promised, here is the double entry on PD and Penang.

After a very long time, a outing with Sunitha finally took place. Every time we planned, it never happened. This time we made it a point that it was going to happen. Some where in between it almost got canceled but towards the last minute things just fell in to place.

So of we went. Stayed at Bayu Beach Resort. It belonged to someone she knows. The house was fully equipped. The best part was, it was full of pillows! It was like a pillow wonderland. Their set up was also perfectly done,. Simple yet the sense of comfort was there. And of course it was facing the sea!
This was one of the many holidays that we actually cooked our own meals rather than spending money on food outside. It was fun actually. Something different. Though it was all simple but it was very much filling!

It was a very relaxing form of time out. We did everything to our pace. Slept and woke up as much as we wanted. So basically all we did was eat,sleep, go out for walks, and watched tv.

Penang was also a good time out. For the first time we flew to Pennag. We stayed in a hotel called EQ hotel. The place was good. Looked like a hostel but it was a hotel. The room and the beds were very comfortable. We traveled around by the Rapid Penang bus. It may sound scarey and tiring but the bus system there was so efficient! Its always on time and the were continuously buses coming all the time.

We did the usual stuffs that Rupster usually does in Penang.  Its time to find out for places and activities to do there. Sort of feeling bored of the same routinized activities there.  Food also we went back to mostly the same places.

We had char kuey tiow as much as we wanted. Everywhere tasted different. Some were good and some were not.  This time Rupster got to play with camera. It was learning to use it ans trying out all the different functions available.

And the journey back ended with a 4 hours bus trip back to KL=)

Rupster says "About Holidays"

Its been 2 weeks now since holidays started. PD and Penanag has been visited. Next on the list is Singapore. Not for a vacation but for a wedding.

The first 2 weeks has been busy. Was hardly at home during the day. Here and there there were things to be done. Catch time with family. Its been mostly been family for now.

The BIGGEST news of all is, license has been obtained! After so many years being driven around, now the Rupster is going to be the driver and provide taxi service. Can already see the calls coming in ;). Yet to drive yet has it takes at least a week to process the official documents. Till then its still rest time.

Things have gotten much better with God's grace. Thank God for that. It's almost back to normal. For now that's the only update for the last 2 weeks. Wait up for the PD & Penang entry soon.

Rupster says " About May 2011"

The last month of classes for this semester. Thus, all the assignments due dates were all there. Plus with the running around for final marks to see how far are we to the overall total course work and the marks needed for the finals. Most of the classes finished ahead of the planned time. So there was almost 2 week of freeness. There was still stuffs to be settled in college. So it was not really so free also.

Not a really good month. Things were not really good. So lets see what has June got for us!

Rupster says "The End of Exams"

Finally exams are done! It was not a easy one. With 3 papers in 2 days and having 1 day with 2 papers! Hopefully everything will turn out good.

This holidays will be for almost a month. So far, plans are for PD, Penang and Singapore. So lets wait and see how much fun is at all going to be!!!

=)

Rupster says " About a Different PD experiance"

With everything that has been happening, and with exams coming in next week the mind needed a diversification in order to start focusing back. School holidays have started. So our usual school holiday vacation was also planned. This time, it was decided that were were heading towards PD since its been a long time we went there. We stayed at Corus Paradise Resort.

Located in Port Dickson, Corus Paradise Resort features a fitness and recreation centre which includes an outdoor pool with water slides.Though we never got a chance to swim in the sea, we at least got to walk along the beach and spent some time along the beach.
This time along, it was a very chilling trip. We hardly left the place. This is because the place was fully equipped with everything that was needed. As we arrived there on Friday evening, we had tea with lots of kuih-muih. Than the men went back to their crib while the ladies prepared dinner. Dinner was vegetarian steamboat since it was Friday. It was very simple but very filling. For dessert we had mangoes, apples, and bananas! The rest of the night was spent with catching up stories and chit-chatting.

The next morning, we had sandwiches and coffee. After breakfast, we got ready to go to the water park. It was quite empty. So we had a blasting time playing the water. Not forgetting our famous game monkey monkey ;). Once the senior citizens got tired, the rest of us went to play with the water slides and the waterfall. Such a great time we had with the slides and the waterfall.
With a picnic concept, we had mutton curry and bread for lunch. Simple but very sufficient for the after water activities. Some of us headed back to our room by 12.30 while the rest only came back at almost 2. They had teh session of chatting around. Than it was nap time after a tiring day at the pool. In the evening, we decided to go for the bicycle ride. Its been so long since we all had a bicycle ride. It was indeed a good time cycling around the place. We wanted to go for a massage but we were a bit late and they were not taking in bookings. So massage plan was pushed for the 3rd day. For dinner we went to a seafood restaurant outside the Resort. After dinner supper was at the resort's cafe. Rather than having cocktails we had mocktails. It was tiring 2nd day that all of us were of to bed by 1 am!

3rd day breakfast was scrambled eggs added with some mutton curry and mushroom soup. Very much filling along with coffee. Than we went for the foot massage. An experience that is never to be forgotten! Avery painful one but relieving. Something that Rupster has always wanted to do! The pain can be torture but it was very much enjoyed!

Rupster says " About Rock Climbing"

This was another first time experience. With all the things that's been happening around, this has been a very good mind diversification. For this semester we have a subject called Entrepreneurship. Students are required to get into a group of fours and choose an entrepreneur to be interviewed. One of the group decided to choose the Camp5 owner.

Camp5 is a rock climbing center located at One Utama. After all the hype created the whole class gathered at Camp5 at around 3pm at Camp5. For most of us and including our lecturer, this was our very first time. Walking in to the place felt like an amazing feeling. Looking at all the walls so high up, we wondering to ourselves "are we going to climb all that?". As scarey as it looked, the feeling of want to reach high up there was also there.

As we reached, were were asked to fill up a form containing our personal details. Than we were given our special shoes and the harness to the climbing session. The group than presented their role-play. It was than followed by a safety demonstration for the other students before they start their climbing.  Once everything was explained we started our climbing.

It was indeed a very new experience. It needed a lot of determination. It can be very tiring but once reaching up at the peak, there was a sense of achievement. It was indeed a very big eye opener. We learned a lot through the experience.

There was this one part in which we were suppose to climb the rock all the way up and that let go. You go swinging. As simple as it may sound, but it was not! It was not easy to let go. That's when we all realised the quote saying " let it go' is never as simple as it is. It was how much trust you have on your self and the person who is handling you. To let go was the toughest!

Rupster says " About When is The End?"

How long more is all this going to take? There's just to much to be absorbed! Exam's is around the corner too. Time table is out. All 3 papers in 2 days of the first week. Longer holidays but studying is going to be terror!

With everything that is going on, there is no peace in mind. They said it easily, push everything to a side and focus but its always easier said that done. Not much improvement is seen. Its just been the same. No one is moving. And the one stuck in the middle is still very much stuck and is grasping for as much air as possible!

Why on earth all these would ever happen in this world? WHY? Though its not been the first time, but the second one was not at all looked forward to and never expected it to happen. Its been a bad one this time around. Everyone is wondering of the next step. But when that thing called EGO is the biggest obstacle, what is there to help other than we ourselves!

Hating everything that is happening now. Never want to turn back and look at this dark chapter in the future. This could be the biggest lesson in life but this is one of the hated lessons ever!

How long more would it took to get better?

How long more is the wait for?

How big can that word called EGO grow from now?

Lucky thing there is exams to divert the mind away. How much would it divert not sure but hopefully it would help as much as possible.

Can't wait for this UGLY chapter to end and never come back for ever!
