The Pink Spider Pig

Do you remember my neon green top?
well, it was during Juice 7th anniversary.
i won myself 2X taster try climbing session, 2X basic wall course and 2X 10concession passess at Camp5

A month back, i did my Basic Wall Course with Camp5 at One Utama.

ive received a cert for that :D anyway, i've tried climbing before, so it wasn't my first time but im still excited to learn more about climbing.

The course normally accomdate up to 10 people in a group


Noel was my instructor that day...
he started by introducing a bit on what is climbing and the basic climbing equipments which i have forgotten half of them by now :S and How to use these equipments.

One of the basic equipment is carabiner!
i snapped a picture because its pink :S


these are the belay device

of course, the most important tool is the rope which can carry up to ermm 2tons if i remember correctly. After hearing the amount of weight it can carry, i remembered whispering to Kalai (my guest) that now i know which to use if i needed to suicide someday! LOl :P
We learned how to tie knots
a double 8knot
it reminds me of girl scouts tho...


Kalai looked so serious tying her knot. :S
we also learned how to belay our friends (mr. sandbag)
After learning the theories, we get to climb and belay our friend.
what's interesting was when a thin guy belaying a heavier guy, he literally floating above ground a little. He needs two sandbags to hold him down. hehe

We also saw another scene whereby a kid got stuck at the top to the wall, he was too frigthen to let go his hands and they couldn't lower him down. He was all teary, poor feller. Noel climbed to rescue, upon reaching the group, the kid shouted :"i hate wall climbing"! hahaha
The last thing we did was bouldering; climbing without rope!

that's me

and that's not me :S
i wonder when i can ever do this...
To conclude, i can belay someone now! but do you trust me? hehe

Witchy-Witch

I've never celebrate one Halloween before this! But i always thought it would be fun to be part of it. :) However, i am not ang mo so i dont really know much about this holiday. I always take Halloween as the English version of ghost-festival whereby people put on their scariest costumes to scare off demons/ghosts. I always wonder if the people dressed up to scare off demons/ghosts?or do they dressed up so that they cant differentiate the real demons and the costumed demons? :P

Anyway, i had a strictly girls night out for the holiday. I disguise myself as a Witch that night.
I got a hat, the witchy nose and i drew a lil spider web right at the corner of my eyes!
thats me and JC (i still like calling u JC :P short for Jesus Christ :P).
we were at Sanctuary, The Curve.
Sadly, JC only came for dinner and hang out a short while in Sanctuary before she was on medication.

me and kalai who claimed that she's poison ivy :S
Alice and me.
Damn, she still pretty even with that witchy nose
Me and Carrey
another picture with Carrey
And ashley
Another one with Ashley
Chiaw Hong, Ash, Kalai, Porkie, Alice and Carrey
yeap, i was the only one in group went with costume. Thank godness, i didnt spend much$$$ and time, i did it just for fun hehe
Well, that night, i met Amanda i knew from school time :S
havent seen her for ages.
As usual, girls being girls will go like "one more, one more"
so heres take two!
but damn...who is that behind???
oh well, most of the pictures that night us ruined by random pepople putting 'bunnies' ears on us :S

Okay this is litterally bunny ears :P hehe
i stole it for pictures.
That will be me and Amanda's friend. Dont remember her name :S
Once again, see that fingers popping up in between kalai and my head? ==
More bunny ears...
Some random guy from next table.
He PUKE on the floor and bits of it splashed on my leg! EWWWWWw...
it was really hot packed that night that we couldnt really move around much...
i was sweating like crazy that i felt uncomfortable bumping into ppl but i can't help it :S. I think ive never sweat this much in my life
more group pic and we called it off
My feets hurt so i walked barefoot to the car together with Kalai and Ash
the last time i walked barefoot on the street was back in Liverpool.
We end our party playing jenga at Ash aunty's apartment in Hartamas.
Nice place to trash :P lol
Once again, i will love to thank Ash and Carrey for all the arrangement :)
Love you gurls
muacks xoxo

Nuffnang Awards 2009 in Singapore

I was one of the lucky one to receive a pair of invites to attend Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards in Singapore. We get free stay, free dinner, free transportation, free tour...everyone loves freebies right? well, at least i do :S But hey, i did put some effort into it (fyi: i made a silly video of me for my pringles post)

I can see Nuffnang had put a lot of great effort for the event. Just by looking at the itinerary is exciting but i didnt totally enjoy myself for several reasons. Main reason was i really wasn't feeling well!!! NOt ACTING to get sympathy or to isolate myself!
I was coughing my lungs out and my throat sore badly that it hurts to even speak at audible volume!

Okay forget about me, zoom back into the event. The event was held at the grand ballroom of pan-pacific hotel, singapore.




it was one of those posh looking event...
check out the proper table setting with lots of cutleries

and the impressive menu

it started with some bread and butter (Didn't take picture), followed by
Marinated Smoked Tuna with Feta, Herb Salad and Balsamic Olive Oil
i took a bite and chucked the fish to my brother... i never like raw taste of fish.

then we have our Light Cream of Asparagus and Green Peas topped with a Chive Mousseline (didnt take picture as well)

Next was Rosemary Marinated Chicken Breast with Saffron Cheesy Mash Potato and Balsamic Reduction Mediterranean Vegetable in Mango Coriander Salsa Sauce
this is my plate: Before


and this is my plate: After!
couldn't eat much... :S told u im not well that night! :P



And for dessert we had Praline Hazelnut Gateau with Raspberry Jelly.

I only ate half of Praline Hazelnut Gateau :S

i think im so going to hell for the amount of food i wasted that night. :S


The awards was presented simultaneously with dining.
XiaXue won the biggest award of all. The region's best blog.
Congrates to all winners ;)




***
Okay, from here onwards its all gonna be pictures of me and other bloggers
i did not take much pictures tho and sorry the pictures are quite unorganized :S



Kim and Porkie
Kim wasnt the first blogger i took picture with that night but she is the first person i remember taking picture with if you asked me offhands. Why? she made me realise something. She is such an inspiration to me!wth== nehhh, it was her body language and the super short conversation we had. What happen was as i walked towards kim, she said:"i know who u are, pinkporkchop". this sentence + body language made me felt that i might appear to be some cocky arrogant,'she-thinks-she-fehmes' kinda blogger all this while! :S im not sure if you understand where im coming from. When i replied her:"you are kim" she was surprised that i knew her name. Well, i knew their names but Im just not used to "hello followed by name rules" its okay if this doesnt make sense to u :S

Maybelline Simply Fabulous Finale!

Simply Fabulous Finale was held at MOS Euphoria last week.

I reached the venue at 8pm only because it was on a working day.
Traffic from my place to Sunway is always crazy between 5-8pm!
as a result, i missed my chance to look simply fabulous *sob sob* :S (They have makeover for girls) but its okay, i still have quite a fair bit of maybelline product myself :D

Porkie and Her Height Issue

NOPE, i don't really have an issue for height! Well, at least not for 17meters high-anything higher than that?hmm no quite sure yet...

Weeks back, i went for sky trex adventure located at the Shah Alam, Malaysia Agriculture Park. Not too far from town and lots of fun :)

The Selamat Datang sign board

They have a shuttle bus in the Agriculture park itself.
These are the people i went with
they are from immerse

me and my bro shoes

They have a very cute bunting on Skypet's guide to skytrekking.

After registration, we put on our harness with the helpers' help.my brother with wrong facial expression...
and these guys...
hmm i think they just want to make sure the harness is safe to use :P

All set to go...
Before the actual big thrill adventure, you must (unless you are confident that you know what to do when you are up there) go through train & try...

Briefing

The trainer demonstrate what to do and what not to do...

then we get to try it out individually...
i thought it was quite easy and fun :)
Now that we are all "well-trained", we are ready for the Big Thrill Challenge...
So what is big thrill challenge??
"This circuit consists of 23 thrilling challenges with various level of difficulty raging from “easy“ to “very difficult“. With some of the platforms reaching the height of 17 meters, feel the adrenaline while crossing the “Crazy Zig-Zag“ and flying on the “Sky-crawl“ at the Bermuda Triangle. Hold your breath while crossing “The Earthquake“, test your ability to leap at the “Happy Hopper“ and end the adventure with the grand finale, the 100 meters “Wild Revenge“ which will take you to the finishing platform at an exhilarating speed." copy from the website:P

This is the starting point.
Look at that, so high up...it takes quite a bit of energy to climb up
i took a picture when i reached the top.
look at how tiny the people are standing below me

Like they said earlier, there are three level of difficulty
Green for easy
Blue for moderate
Red for Hard
Through out the whole challenge, there were quite a bit of flying fox (i like :D).

and a lot of slack track too...

the standard plank
check out my brother's face after the first few challenge
he got an issue with height hehe
he tried to act cool for the camera but his face was still pale LOL

the crazy Zig Zag crossing...

i took a picture of myself at the middle of that zig zag crossing thing. Anyway, its all camwhore picture because my brother refuse to hold the camera :S He need to focus on the challenges LOL
This challenge is interesting...
as you step on to the cylinder plathform, it swings back & forth and you got to move your feet fast to the other cylinder before you end up doing a split :P

i was laughing when i reached the second cylinder because i knew this is be a nice change for my brother.
and yes...thats him upon reaching the solid plathform

the only challenge that i dont like was this
where you are supposed to hold on to a rope and swing yourself to the other wood plank.
It's not easy being tarzan

another tarzan stunt will be this one here
you have to swing yourself and catch the net...but if you are too afraid to do all the above-there's a Chicken exit for you!:P
The Chicken Exit haha

A group picture before leaving

i got these cute badges as souvenir


Its a really nice experience. Anyone up for Extreme Challenge?

Hennessy Artistry at Quattro

It's the time again-Hennessy Artistry is in Daaa Town (i mean WAS in the town). I'm not sure how many exactly there are in a year but of course the more the merrier. Good drinks, good music, good party- im not gonna complain about that...Never.



I am also grateful that i managed to attend the one held at Quattro last week and its all thanks to Yat for his kind arrangement. He went through quite a bit of complication in getting those passes/invites. Thank You so muchhhh, appreciate that :)


As usual, i went with my brother



another picture of him...
he will brutally kick my arse for uploading this picture
hehe but i dont care :P


without fail every H-Artistry is soooooo crowded



To my surprised, i spotted my happening aunty dancing on a plathform :S
i didn't expect to see her there...
i joined her on that small platform which gave me a better view of the place.Met some of the bloggers there too including jamieliew, ren, stanley wong, jason and etc.
me and jamie (errr the spot light)

The hot emcee, Sarah Lian and i dont know who (sorry)

look, she's glowing!



That night, we have (1)Hsiao Hung Jen from Taiwan performing



(2)Lenka
i can barely see her even standing on that lil plathfrom


(3)Paul Freeman

Like i told u earlier, i was standing on a plathform. Its a strategic location where i get good view plus i can get drinks easily...just stretch my hands :D
Naturally people would want to have a spot too..Two chics came up the plathform when i was video-ing. They bummed me and blocked my view :(

i told myself i so gonna call them b**ch in my blog but i decided not to because they were polite enough to apologize and gave me drink (bribery? lol :P) when i ran out.
Thanks anyway hehe


in between the performances by famous artists, they have dancers to hype/ermm heat up the floor

this will be dancer no.1
errr.. dont like my hair
and dancer no.2
check out that chic facial expression hehe


and finally we have Boys like Girls on stage
they were awesome :D
i recorded video...see at the end of the post

That's about it!
ooh wait, not to forget something tragic happened.
Two different guy burned my leg with their cigarette. I believe it was not on purpose hehe
