8tv, you broke my heart. Hotmail, you made my life miserable

Since I am having my holiday, I try my best to fill up my time. Well, just at the same moment, I come across a competition from 8tv,how HP mini changes your life. So, I was so excited because I desperately need a laptop.

But, just after I took the photos and edited, I found out that I was unable to email the photos to 8tv's email address - quickie@8tv.com.my. Well, I tried to send it out for millions times. But, my attempt was to no avail. I kept on receiving post failure emails. Until a point, I WAS LIKE SMASHING THE KEYBOARD. Another thing was that hotmail or windows live mail was so difficult to log in to. Err, it was like a Chinese saying- "adding oil into the fire".

I knew that it was partial my responsibility as well. I guessed the 8tv mailbox is full. I should have sent earlier, but, the deadline was on today. I sent it yesterday. Errrr, it was so frustrating because I put some much effort for this competition. But, what I got was a email failure.

Now, I will show you the photos which I put so much effort into it.



I have to admit that my photos are not perfect. But, at least, I want to give it a try. As you can see, the concept was simple, but, I did not have the chance to show my masterpieces. Firstly, it was not easy to find the typewriter. Secondly, it was so tiring to hop up and down.


It was disappointing, but, I still have to live on and get a life. So, 8TV and hotmail, I have a piece of advice.

8tv, please increase your mailbox size to a least 5Gb or more.

Hotmail, or windows live MSN, please be more efficient, fix the problem with MSN. so difficult to log in.

Panda Versus Cobra

When you first see the title, you might have thought of the recent hit movie, KUNG FU PANDA. Well, that is not the case. Actually, Panda Versus Cobra is all about the horrible event that occurs in my very own home.


Well, a few days ago, when I was apparently inside my home, checking on my emails, there were huge barks from our backyard, the combination of Panda's, Goldie's, and Cowdy's(Ngau Ngau) alarming barks. My mum and I felt something were amiss. Because before this, there was a surface of a poisonous creature - The Cobra King. My dad was also feeling something was not right. He ran down from his room, and straight to the backyard.

Then, a loud shout from the backyard, :"you she (got snake)!!!". My mum and I quickly went to backyard to have a look. When we got there, guess what we saw? A very long snake, which I did not measure how long it was. But, when we got there, the Cobra was down. My dad was the hero who saved our dogs. But, unfortunately, an unforeseen event happened, my lovely Panda, which is a German-Shepherd, was bitten by the poisonous cobra, his leg was injured.

Our lovely Panda had been with our family for so many years. He was already 8-year-old(in human life span, he is already 50 something). So, without any hesitation, my dad and I brought him to the vet. Well, that day was Sunday, we were so lucky that we were able to find a vet(Thanks to my sis who contacted the vet).

After the vets met Panda, they treated him. But, due to the very expensive anti-venom couldn't be injected in a single shot, Panda had to stay back for a day. With a little of reluctance, we left he behind for the best.

Guess who was back? Panda was all mighty again as he used to be, but, still kept his sad eyes. Haha, but, the most important thing is that he is fine now. But, the bill was very ..... Oh, well, after all, Panda was fully-recovered. That is what really matters.

At the end, my dad won.............................................(^^), ironic, rite?

Mountain Hiking a.k.a mountain climbing was so much fun






Yesterday, I was so bored. After quitting my job, I really had nothing to do. So, just in the spur of the moment, I decided to climb the mountain. The mountain is called Bukit Kledang. This mountain is quite famous in Menglembu, people from all walks of life go and enjoy their time climbing the mountain. Even though it was not as high as Mount Everest, it was still very challenging to me personally. I will tell you why later.

Okey, at 3.50p.m sharp, on 30th June 2008, I went to the mountain with the accompany of a friend, Mr. Bearleong a.k.a Kok Leong. He claimed that it was easy to climb the mountain. Well, actually, I climbed the mountain before, so, it was no big deal.

Then, we started at the same point, hiking through the woods, until we reached the starting point to go upwards. Of course, both of us were walking together until we reached the road diverged, omg, that is so poetic which reminds me of a poem. Well, I decided to go left, and he went right, omg, turn left;turn right, that is so dramatic again.


After that, the journey of hardship began for me. Apparently, I took the the wrong turn, nope, the challenging turn. It was also a route leading me to the top, but, the route was muddy due to the rain yesterday, and it was very slippery, somemore, it was very , hmmm, vertical. Yup, Bearleong waited for me for 10 mins, I was not hiking the mountain, practically, climbing, haha, I know I sound a bit dramatic. This is what happened when you didn't hike the mountain for so long.

But, I was able to get an amazing view. I named this photo "A Sun, A Mountain, A Person, An Umbrella"

After undergoing such exhausting journey, we did not give up. We continued our conquest for 1 hour or more. I was wishing to see the "tamat" line, but, we kept going on until a certain point, we were like super dehydrated. Then, hope arose, when we saw the little tower, yup, we had outdone ourselves. I think we passed the line already miles away.



On my way down, I was busy taking pictures again and again.


Then, just like lightning, we sped down the mountain. Just in a flash, we finished our little journey.

Well, the joy doesn't end here. Let's look at the nice photos I took.



I was like a biologist observing the ecosystem in Bukit Kledang.


The journey was tiring, but, kept our virtual to the top
We really see hope.




I was lucky to be able to take so many amazing shots.
