Seriously. I thought caffeine was bad bad bad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Till I took a sip of hot aromatic coffee...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WOW! I couldn't stop drinking since. Enjoyed every sip of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can't say I'm a coffee addict cuz a day without coffee is fine for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Drinking coffee at night doesn't even keep me awake. I could even sleep so well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I find paying a high price for coffee is ridiculous. Especially terrible coffee...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But then, in KK, I've been contributing a lot to Starbucks. Howard Scultz should employ me one day...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As much as I love desserts in a fancy cafe/ bistro or restaurants, I'd try their coffee as well. If I find it worth drinking. Recently I went to <i>Alexis,Mid V</i> with Mei to try their cakes and coffee( for me). Loved the cuppacino. :) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz3SNcRd5iL1nrtN6j8Hss-0dF5FgGa9aRFAGb7XO_uU4jI-0XwDA6hXgt3rFZahwF718AjpR3zKbXqazWn9MyYkpYpYRt2zA4l6c0a6MsI5UD0I1rqyPlFeYsNabanjjBkURwoy763AI/s1600/coffee+bliss.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz3SNcRd5iL1nrtN6j8Hss-0dF5FgGa9aRFAGb7XO_uU4jI-0XwDA6hXgt3rFZahwF718AjpR3zKbXqazWn9MyYkpYpYRt2zA4l6c0a6MsI5UD0I1rqyPlFeYsNabanjjBkURwoy763AI/s320/coffee+bliss.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Well it was pretty busy and crazy. Since I can have the time to blog now I'd like to start my entry where my bestie treats me for sushi! :)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Mei booked me on a Saturday for a sushi buffet about 2 weeks in advance before I came back for CNY hols. Apparently it's hard to book this restaurant and needs at least 1 month booking in advance. U can try your luck a week before as well.</span><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

I was lucky enough to be able join the event this year in Kota Kinabalu as so happened Hayden told me he had extra tickets to White Room for Hennessy Artistry . I was SO EXCITED (ecstatic in fact =p). Just in time when I'm back in KK for my MBA registration week.<br />

Ever since I've watched the event in youtube where it featured Fay Hokulani as the host for <i>Johnnie Walker- Black Circuit Lounge Party </i>and also <i>Vodoo</i> in Penang, I really wished I could join one of these cool events someday. My wish came true when Hayden (<a href="http://chanqingsheng.blogspot.com/">http://chanqingsheng.blogspot.com</a>) told me he had extra tickets and turns out it's from Chloe (<a href="http://networkedblogs.com/nhCjn"> networkedblogs.com/nhCjn) </a>whom I met many months back from KK Twestival AND She's also a finalist from Miss Borneo Tourism Queen International 2010 bagging Miss Charity, Miss Popular and Nature's Guardian. <i>Talk about gorgeous people!</i>-<i> Barney Stinson</i> .Thanks Chloe :)<br />

We were also introduced to some fun and games that night where there'd be a chance to win an exclusive limited edition Hennessy bottle for the top 5 scorer of <i>Fruit Ninja</i>. Next to the game counter was a mixing bar where we're taught how to mix our drinks with 4 flavours of our choice, either apple, berry, ginger or citrus. I'd prefer Hennessy apple as it tasted much sweeter.<br />

Then we headed to the music mixer corner as if we're the DJs shuffling the music. Not sure if I'm tone deaf of what but I can't tell the difference in the music when I maneuver the disc that looks like carrom disc-only bigger in size.<br />
<br />
Feeling a little warmed up we headed to the VIP lounge (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">oooo feeling exclusive</span>)where all the media/blogger and VIPs hang out. Aside from fun and games so what's the best thing about joining such events??<br />

I definitely felt as if I'm home in KL with the way DJ Roxy played and suddenly miss my girls and our clubbing times in Zouk, it would have been better with my clubbing kaki around. It's unfortunate though we couldn't stay longer for DJ Reeve and my legs were already killing me!! According to my friend Joshua, who was working that night for the event said DJ Reeve was 5X better than DJ Roxy. I missed it :(.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless it was a great night in KK with our VIP/media passes able to move from upstairs to downstairs, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">tasting </span>Hennessy drinks, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">taking </span>great shots (I meant pics) and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">tearing</span> down the roof by the music played by the invited DJs and not Reshmonu too :). Although It would have been better if the crowds were more happening like in KL. But hey! I can't be comparing as different places has different kind of crowd and I must say it's definitely the best clubbing night I had in KK!!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> Sadly i wasn't able to book a room as it was full due to the coming Rainforest festival that week and the place was fully occupied :(. So we went for a day trip and departed early to catch the 9am bus. The Rapid Kuching bus to Kg Bako cost only <b>RM3.5</b> one way/person and the last bus back to Kuching is 5pm. So plan your day there wisely ppl!<br />

</tbody></table><b>The last time when i went to Bako National park with my friends ,we were totally unprepared. I wore a tank top and a beach pants, the girls wore slippers and carried a nice handbag, boys were in jeans and non of us brought enough water or hats to shield us from the scorching sun. Yup we went to Bako for a shopping spree alright..only it's a jungle out there. Still we carried on and it was a great experience till i plan to go back there again. i did :) </b><br />

We almost couldn't make it as it was 4:25pm by the time we reached, but the nice man let us in. He is a volunteer worker to help maintain and operate the place.

This museum is donated by the public and the influential Chinese people in Kuching and it's interesting to know about the early immigration of the Chinese people to Malaysia. Everything you want to know (how the chinese came to Malaysia) it's in this museum and it's very informative.There are currently many chinese groups in Malaysia and some of them i've never heard of eg. <i>Heng Hua</i> and <i>Chao An.</i><br />
<br />
At every section of the Chinese group there is a recorded conversation of their dialects that can be listen to, by just a push of the button. Some seemed like they are speaking in Korean and some has a mixture of cantonese and hokkien jumble up together. Don't worry if you can't understand it. There is a translation for you to know what their conversation is right above the button.<br />
<br />
As for Jo and I. we're <i>Hakka</i> but we don't know what kind of Hakka we are..but definitely our ancestors came from kwang tong.<br />

</tbody></table>Though my bro and I are <i>Hakka</i>, it's sad to say we can't speak our dialects and the uncle said it's a shame and can't blame us cuz most of the youngsters these days hardly speak their dialect. But we can speak Cantonese and Mandarin though as it's essential for a Chinese to know their mother tongue. Or risk getting ppl talking behind your back.<br />

We also had a vision- to join the Amazing Race Asia (if possible) thinking it'll be an awesome experience so i booked us a flight to Kuching and Sibu a.k.a. Sarawak trip. As for the accommodation, my good friend Toh Soon was so kind to let us crash at his place for a few days and ferry us here and there to eat. <i>Thanks man!</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
The first thing i wanted to do the moment i landed Kuching was....<br />
<br />
Eating Kolo Mee~~!!!! Oh how i miss it so much<br />

Jo and I enjoying our breakfast of the day at Sin Lian Shin coffee shop that sells the best kolo mee<br />
We did a little sight seeing for the day at Fairy cave, Wind cave and the mysterious blue lake in a small town called "Bau". It's quite far from town so having your own transport is better or you could rent a vehicle to get there.<br />

Then we got hungry again, and went to Song Kheng Hai Food Centre at Jln Padungan for tea time :) We wanted to try food that can't be normally found in KL such as belacan meehun, kompiah (a popular fuchow bagel in Sibu) and thirst quenching desserts like White lady and Fa Lor Hon. I'll let the pics tempt u guys :p<br />

</tbody></table>We also took the time to visit the Sarawak Cultural Village which is located about 45 minutes from Kuching town. Since i didn't have to chance to visit it on my last trip i'd figure this will be an eye opener for me and Jo to experience what Sarawak has in store for us in that village. To get there you can get a shuttle bus from Riverside Majestic hotel or the Grand Continental hotel the for a fee of RM10 adult one way.<br />
The great thing about bringing a student card is to get the entrance ticket at a cheaper price. Jo and I got it for RM15 per person :). pretty cheap compared to the normal price charged. There were many different houses for us to visit in the cultural village : <i>The Iban Long house, Rumah Bidayuh, Rumah Orang Ulu, Melanau,Orang Penan</i>, even Malay and Chinese old house.<br />

Along the way we also befriended two Singaporeans ,Cassandra and Qi Wen. Both of them are so friendly and there were lots to talk about. Funny thing is they thought Jo and I were a couple so i cleared the air by saying he's actually my younger brother. I guess it's not the norm where brothers and sisters travel together eh? I'd say they are my first Singaporean friends i'd ever had and they are so nice to hang out with :)<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">This is my ever first entry of my blog. Not quite sure how to start it but I’ve decided to blog about my interest and the things I like to do.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">First of, i’m not a very sports person but ever since my friend Suet Ling asked me to join for last year’s Standard Charted Marathon run (SCMR) for 10km.I’ve began to jog, seriously. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I’ve also been active in badminton during my university days (still am) and jogging was just the beginning. Having a beautiful stadium in University Malaysia Sabah (UMS) I never knew how to appreciate it till I was in my final year/final semester that I went there to jog whenever I could.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Czc1n1ZzbVUAv3P1j_2KFUbvniSURTD9s1x5CRRqmKYzGjoqze8jICOi2-6OIqMOe52qOeNadSA3EdbE9xwNy1YcSItxu1BJPmXUGFhT_yiyJxpXr_fjq8-RTCox9v7AncsyDcE4taM/s1600/36006_10150211125520134_775800133_13144385_3557871_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Czc1n1ZzbVUAv3P1j_2KFUbvniSURTD9s1x5CRRqmKYzGjoqze8jICOi2-6OIqMOe52qOeNadSA3EdbE9xwNy1YcSItxu1BJPmXUGFhT_yiyJxpXr_fjq8-RTCox9v7AncsyDcE4taM/s320/36006_10150211125520134_775800133_13144385_3557871_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So as a first timer in 10km I was nervous at the starting line. Luckily I had my music to accompany me, and Suet too, but i went ahead and I didn’t see her (sorry Suet!). I was happy that I could finish the race in 1 hour 22mins. I couldn’t believe it myself as I wasn’t a very active runner in high school, talk about merentas desa..=.=!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Then this year, as I was busy juggling my Final Year Project and preparing for viva voce, Suet texted me again asking if I wanna join for this year’s SCMR 10km. I replied that I wasn’t sure when will I be able to complete everything and be back in KL for the marathon run. So I told her I’ll consider it.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Once my schedule was out. I told her I was up for it….But….it’ll be 21KM!!! </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
Why 21KM?! I don’t know..maybe I was so hyped up and wanted to challenge myself further. So I signed up for it. Thinking I was able to train in the stadium as well.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately once I sold of my car I couldn’t get to Uni to train (buses don’t operate during semester breaks boohoo!) and training in a small park was demotivating. Though I hitched rides from my friends to train in Bkt Padang and UMS I felt it wasn’t enough. Then training for badminton seems to be the next closest thing since I was joining a small competition.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So when I got back KL and just trained 2 times I went for the run. This time I’ll be running with the guys. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">However when we were about to reach Dataran Merdeka by foot (since we parked quite far), they’ve already started counting down “10, 9, 8..”<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh shit, we’re late.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Jogging there already warmed us up and we did a little stretching before starting the run, chasing the ppl up front. I was steady, running with the guys till the 4<sup>th</sup> KM I had to stop for the loo…<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Great timing..but nature called..what to do..<o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPBbl8bqFBtJptOxZdDs2PKigHoMeA5wqkCHiQZUJ21ip9Ed0MDbwaHA2d2jzRcfZlOQdj-phUOAODi7KFrTYjTgOcwi63uyb09CtdaKcbfSGfTUTMUiYVEYJQUVLW74maovTV3SMDrls/s1600/261472_10150668878245154_777595153_19652660_1230205_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPBbl8bqFBtJptOxZdDs2PKigHoMeA5wqkCHiQZUJ21ip9Ed0MDbwaHA2d2jzRcfZlOQdj-phUOAODi7KFrTYjTgOcwi63uyb09CtdaKcbfSGfTUTMUiYVEYJQUVLW74maovTV3SMDrls/s320/261472_10150668878245154_777595153_19652660_1230205_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Panic struck me while I was waiting in the queue as many people passed me by, for fear that I’ll be the last. Right after, I quickly increase my pace and just go go go! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I know I’m already far behind the guys so I just do my best and keep my pace. By the time I only reached 11.5km and realized there is another 10KM to go..my heart dropped. The mental endurance came it<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">. I can do it.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Of course there is no room for doubt but just keep pushing yourself and say you HAVE to since u’ve been training for this. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">As I saw the finishing line I was so happy!!! I kept my pace and keep jogging to the finishing line…till I stopped, noticing I was in the wrong lane!! <b>The full marathon lane</b>! Oh the blunder… Luckily there was a small gap in between the lane where I could squeeze myself and finish it off at the<b> half marathon lane</b>. YEY! Am glad I did finished the run in 3 hours and 6 mins..based on the time I saw on the board as I passed through it. To my surprised the guys told me I was just 3 mins behind them.:)<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
