After my Taman Negara trip, I was quite excited to move on and to experience new things in life.
2nd December 2010
I went with the guys to Canyon Paintball near the Curve. Finally!! A place near my area!! So yea, I met them there at around 11 something, I was there to watch them play only. I was a helpless civilian there to watch the war of the crazy-adrenaline-powered-egoistic-species. Because seriously, these people don't take aim at all, they just shoot whenever they sense motion, so I was lucky to be not shot in the head or something. It was quite a fun experience though... I saw Jun Yi's injury, I saw how they play the game, all the strategy and all and I tried to shoot a few shots in the shooting rink. I really enjoy it except the part where I was eaten alive by mosquitoes and that annoying marshal... He kept teasing me about coming to watch my boyfriend.
"You ok? Did you get shot?"
"No, I'm fine."
"Alright, don't worry, your boyfriend is not hurt too. *winks*"
*About to tear his head apart*
-____- (GRRR......)
If I ever have one, I wouldn't even be there. I would sit at home and wait for my boyfriend to cook something for me, force him to take language classes with me or probably ask him to drive me around town.
So really.. I was inspired to join them the next time. Kicking guys butt has always been an interest of mine after all. And maybe, just maybe, If I get the chance, I'll aim at that particular marshal "accidentally". Lol.. I know I'm evil. (Shhhh....)
After the paintball experience, we went to 1 Utama to have lunch. It was Kheng Yu's, Victor's and Wai Wai's first time in OU so me and Jun Yi took them around. We went to Nando's for lunch at around 4 something. LOL and then I brought them to CAMP 5 for a visit, since they are so eager and hungry for excitement and adventure. It has been so long since I went back there.. It changed a lot, they seemed impressed and so did I, I was determined to climb again after seeing it.
SO CAMP 5, I'M COMING BACK!! :)
Then after the brief visit to Camp 5, I dragged the guys to go shop with me. I went to 21 Forever, Island shop and Cotton On, the usual la... but the one that I like was too expensive and the cheaper ones are not very well made. So I had to move on. I'm not freaking paying RM75 for a top! I'm crazy, but not that crazy.
So then, we bid farewell to a day well spent. I can see that the guys were very impressed by OU. They certainly love the parking rate. God knows why... so then they sent me back and went about their own activities. :)

3rd December 2010
Went shopping with my mum in OU and guess what? I bought the season pass for Camp 5!
Told you I'll go back. Muahaha, the reason being??
Let me tell you the history of my climbing experience then.
The reason why I left:
I used to go with my brother and his friend, Teck Chuan. Back then, I was underage so I had to be brought in by my brother. Since, back then, he didn't have a girlfriend, I was his top priority, so we climbed almost everyday and now... my brother just got married.. so imagine. Secondly, my mum wanted me to focus on my studies , so I chose to drop out of this in order to keep track of my school activities and studies. Last but not least, Kar Tong and Yee Weng started to freak out by the sight of my muscles, so I decided to stop.
Now, the reason why I wanna go back:
I'm fat, and I need exercise. How simple was that? And I found this great rock climbing gym just right across of RMIT. So muahaha, you know what I'll be doing in Australia now. And of course, I'm super stress free now, so time to pick up a hobby. and last but not least, I'm 18 now!! Wee... I can now drive myself to and fro from OU and climb on my own. Isn't that awesome?
So thumbs up for me returning to be muscle woman you guys! :D

It's a weekend and a time to go shopping... AGAIN. This time, I went to Curve. Initially, it was only for lunch in Pho Hoa.. the only decent Vietnamese restaurant I can find in Petaling Jaya. Then I don't know how, we ended up at the doors of YAMAHA music school.
So always having an interest in music, my mum finally decides to let me learn piano. I was very happy of course. I always played the piano by ear, but never ever received any proper training by an institute. I was happy to learned that they offer playing piano by ear! Even better! No note reading.

I was so inspired to play without sheets because of several of my YouTube fantasies.

So I signed up for it immediately. To my shock, it was so expensive. From that moment on, I started thinking that maybe learning piano is not the very best choice after all, I felt so guilty that day. But then, my mum says it is ok.
So yea, hopefully I can learn something in these 2 months and that it will be worth it. And maybe if I can, I can start playing my written music on the spot without using my memory to remember the tune. Because the way I write my songs is very special, I create the tune and the lyrics at the same time.
I have to remember the tune and write the line of lyrics immediately. So sometimes I imagine the tune in my head with accompanied piano but I can't play them, then by the time I'm done with the song, I sometimes forget the tune in between, and I have to come up with another tune which is not as good as the first tune to accompany the written lyrics. It is a rather complicated process but usually, if I'm fast with my words, I take only about 30 to 40 minutes to write a song. So it would help a lot if I can make up the tune on the spot if I know which key to press to create the sound that I imagine in my head. I do that with guitar but I only can make up music with limited chords. What I wish to accomplish is like what my friends, James and Joel can do. They play chords actually... greatly improvised chords. They are the most amazing impromptu guys ever! They're amazing, especially James, he never received any piano training at all and he is like Lady Gaga!! Amazingly talented at figuring music out. He knows exactly what keys to press to produce the particular sound he wants. Like I say, my friends are crazy.

I drove alone today!! Actually this is the second time I drove alone, the first time I drove alone, I went to fetch Pei Nee to go enquire about sole to soul dance studio (http://soletosouldance.blogspot.com/) , a dance studio that we initially wanted to join to lose fats. But since I payed for my rock climbing season pass already, I would have to pass on the idea of joining the dance classes. Too much for me to handle. Anyways, I hit the curb that time. But this time, I was damn smooth, but I'm still sweating allot. I'm still so damn scared on the road. This was what I said to my mum:
"Mummy, I don't even know why I go rock climbing... by the time I get there, I've already sweat a bucket." lolxx...
So, I drove to Camp 5 with full enthusiasm in swing only to find that it opens at 2pm. Well, there goes my RM1. Then in the afternoon, I drove again, to my first piano lesson!! But I was very disappointed to find that they were not what I wanted to learn. They taught me how to read notes. Which I totally suck at. I knew because even from young, I had troubles reading the notes in music classes (compulsory subject in Puay Chai primary school) and also back when I used to go to Yamaha. I think I was about 3 or 4 that time?? So yea... reading notes. I felt so guilty that I've just wasted my mum's RM200. RM200 for one and a half hour's worth of class... so it is approximately RM 1.10 for one minute of the piano class. WOW. Thumbs down for over earned piano teachers. SUCKED. And the worse part?? LCLY teacher!! Yay, the world is such a fair place isn't it?
I didn't have a good day at all. After the class, I wasted RM1 again for parking fees and I wanted to drive to camp 5 to initiate my climbing exercise, but sadly, it was so jammed, I decided to go home instead. What a fuc*ing shitty day.
7th December 2010
It was a great day well spent. I went rock climbing! I didn't actually plan to go rock climbing on this day because of the public holiday, I knew it would be packed with crazy people hogging the wall but because of the unsuccessful plan mentioned earlier in the post, I was forced to go climb with the crowd. It was a good climb though because initially I thought I would definitely forget everything. I expect to knock out within 20 minutes, but I stayed for a solid 2 hours workout. I manage to boulder. Which I enjoy very much but I didn't get to finish the auto-belay route. That was too much for me. But I was still very surprised to have reached the 3rd rock from the top, which is pretty good achievement. It was maybe an intermediate route? Sadly, I climbed alone because my brother isn't here with me to belay me. :( I didn't get to climb the easy walls. *sobs* But I really did enjoy climbing again.
After climbing, I sinned. I went to the 2nd floor and I just couldn't help it! I bought a peppermint mocha from Starbucks coffee. It was new, reasonably price and SOOOOOOOO GOOOOD. I can't resist the temptation. So below was my conversation with my mum when I reached home with the Starbucks cup.
START OF CONVO
"I thought you went rock climbing."
"I did, 2 hours."
"*laughs* So what is the point of climbing to burn off 2 hours of fats when in the end you're putting back in 3 hours worth of fats?"
END OF CONVO
Ha-ha... very funny.. NOT.
So yea... I think I did well, I couldn't feel my limbs for awhile after I climbed.. Which is good I suppose? Isn't it?? Except the next time I go, I shall not let Mr. Evil Starbucks get to me. I promise. But I won't guarantee Auntie Anne's.....
Lol..so I had an awesome day, I feel accomplished, especially when I finish the second book I started this week. WEEEEE!!!!!!!!! Hopefully I'm this productive for the many days to come. :D
I HAVE TILL FEBRUARY AFTER ALL.... WILL IT BE ENOUGH?
