Jom sama2 hayati lirik lagu ni sempena hari yang menjadikan umur saya setahun lebih tua dari semalam. :p

Ingatkah semua Hari tua pasti menjelma
Detik waktu yang laju Pantasnya tak akan menunggu

Begitu usia Makin hari makin meninggi
Siang malam berganti Yang pergi tak berulang sekali lagi

Begitu cepat putaran masa
Terkadang tanpa pun kita sedar
Siapa yang lebih bersedia
Dialah yang selesa

Tua mengejar
Pasti tiba masanya Kau merasa
Hidup tak segagah Waktu remaja
Di mana tenaga Menyala-nyala
Di hari tua
Makin terpadam semua

Tua mengejar
Di mana kau berada Tak berbeza
Semua kan merasa Itu hakikat
Tak bisa hindari Walau seinci
Bersihkan diri
Sebelum terlewat nanti

Hey kawan semua Aku cuma memberi pesan
Andai cukup bekalan Tak mungkin kita kehausan

Usahlah menunggu Uban memutih di rambutmu
Cepat-cepat berilmu Semoga tak menuju di jalan buntu

(Fauziah Latiff - Tua Mengejar Kita)




Life is short. So live life to the fullest!

don't know how?
here's some idea!
;)

Hiked to the Muka Head Light House, Penang National Park

19.10.09

I've been to most of Penang's places of interest since the last 5 years here. But i've never been to Penang National Park (PNP) for an outdoor activity. This is due to the health problem that i have. Ive been hiking a few times and mostly i couldn't finish it because of that.

But when i google abt PNP, i really wanted to give it a try and challenged myself for it, so i looked for friends to come along. And i went there yesterday. A very last minute plan!

The PNP is free of admission fee. All you need to do is register your name at the counter to get an entry permit. there are few places in the PNN that you might like to go, such as the Monkey beach, Kerachut Beach, Muka Head Light House etc. you can either hike there, or go by boat.

We chose to hike to the Muka Head Light House. yes i want to be at the top of the light house since ive never been there or to any light house and to go hike to that level of height in my life.

rest stop equipped with picnic table placed throughout the park

after a few meters away from the entrance gate, you can choose which way you want to go. do google before you come here so you would know where you're heading to.

After about 30 minutes walk, we reached Tanjung Aling where the Centre for marine & coastal studies (CEMACS) by Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) is located.

The CEMACS is established in 1996 and used by researchers to carry out maritime related studies. The research station is located in Tanjung Aling where there is a jetty to receive and unload supplies from Teluk Bahang. The station's forest bed is used for botany and other forest related research.


Then we proceed to hike to the Monkey Beach where it then leads to the light house. The hiking trails was okay but was a bit slippery at some places. We hike through the jungle, the through the beaches and sometimes through muddy mangrove forest.


and finally reached Monkey Beach (Teluk Duyung) after more or less 45-50 mins. your hiking activity would be seriously faster if you do not stop way too much for photography activity :p hehe

Monkey beach is beautiful. the beach are cleaner and nicer and more beautiful than the feringhi beaches for swimming and sunbathing and fishing activities. the place is very popular among tourist. *ehem*ehem* you can catch sights of some hotties with swim suits here if you're lucky. hahaa

there also are places for camping here.

and from there, we started to hike to the Muka Head Light House.

damn it was really really tiring. we hiked through a 1200m trail with a very slopy hill. i stopped like a lot gila!! i almost gave up but a friend said that it was not worth it if i just turn back, since i was already on my half way there. and whats more, it's one in a lifetime experience for me. then i made up my mind and i decided to finish what ive started.

i agree. mindset helps.

and there was me at the top of the Muka Head Light House!!!!!!!! OMG i cant believe i did it. Despite being very very tiring and the breathing difficulties i faced, i did it!!! i hiked for 4220m and reached the Muka Head Light House. Mission accomplished!
Congratulations, Julia!

hahahaha gila bangga dgn diri sendri. org lain naik Kinabalu, Everest segala gunung pon x heran. hahaha

Twittering from 227m above sea level ;)

Ok. Satisfied. Jom balik.

oh, return trip was by boat. not enough energy to hike back to teluk bahang entrance :p see the face full of inner satisfaction. haha

fisherman jetty before the PNN entrance

i'm looking for friends to hike to pantai kerachut pulak to see turtlessssss!! hahaha sakit badan x abes lagi masa menulis ni ade hati nak plan hiking lagi. padan muka sendiri for not exercising and tetiba nak hike konon. lalalala~ :D

for those yang terbaca live Twitter update from the light house and those yang receive mms dgn niat menjeleskan dan terjeles (espesially adik hadi :p) ... nasib yer..hahaha

p/s: enjoying my last hours as 23. ;)

p/s2: happy birthday to YOU. hugs & kisses.

Happy Deepavali!!!

16.10.09

I may not have a lot of Hindu friends, but still i wanna wish my Hindu friends who will be celebrating the festival of lights this weekend a very Happy Deepavali.

The Festival of Lights, better known as Deepavali or Diwali, is a public holiday here in Malaysia and is celebrated by the Hindu community. This festival is celebrated with joy, excitement, bright lights and an even brighter smile!!

And for those who might not know how to spend their Saturday night, let's go to enjoy the Esplanade in Action at Padang Kota Lama, Pulau Pinang to join our Hindu friends in celebrating Deepavali. ;)


For those who have never heard of Esplanade in Action, it is a cultural show, held at Padang Kota @ Esplanade, every Saturday night at 8.30pm.

Check one of the Esplanade in Action show here!!!

Muzium & Galeri Tuanku Fauziah

26.08.09

Sape tahu kat USM ada muzium..? Sape penah masuk muzium tu..?

Ok for those yang penah masuk, duk diam2 je eh. For those who has never been in the museum or never even heard that there's a museum in the USM main campus, let me tell u, there is. It's the Tuanku Fauziah Museum & Gallery (MGTF). I knew there's USM museum but me, myself haven't went there,not until the USM 40th convocation. As a student of USM, i think i should at least go there at least once. Sebab dah la jalan dlm induk pun x hafal2. Library sana pun tak penah masuk. At least i have something to be proud of. Aku dah pernah masuk muzium kat USM weh! Haha.

For more info do visit the MGTF website ye. Malas nak cerita panjang lebar :P

Reowned Malaysian printmaker, Juhari Said

ni la org yang x reti menghargai seni, pegi muzium pastu chamwhoring jer LOL

One of the 'OKIR'
Wood + oil paint + metal plate

'OKIR’ the word, draws its roots from an ancient South East Asian word for ‘carving’.‘OKIR’ features 18 free-standing blocks of wood, ranging in height from 5ft-9ft, which have been individually carved to form an elaborate pattern on the surface area of the wood. The new series is something the artist stumbled upon after experimenting and exploring with his favorite medium, wood.

There's so much inside the MGTF. Words just can't describe. Cewahhh. Seriously there's just a lot of thing to be seen. Dari zaman dinasor yang macam dalam cerita Ice Age 3 tu.. sampai ke zaman batu..sampai ke zaman manusia bertamadun & berteknologi. Go MGTF to learn & see all. Skarang jom layan gambar je eh. Hehe..

Patung2 gambaran orang zaman batu era Palaeolithic di area Lenggong,Perak.

Kat Lenggong ni telah dijumpai rangka Perak Man iaitu rangka manusia tertua yang pernah dijumpai di Malaysia. Penemuan ini adalah hasil dari penyelidikan yang dibuat oleh Malaysian Archaeological Research Centre USM (sila bangga kawan2 USM ;p) dengan kerjasama Jabatan Muzium Malaysia.

Go Polymer, go!! Lalalalala~~~

nak buat glove. latex dipping.

Kuiz : Apekah ini?
Sape dpt jawab meh nak blanje aiskrim (tiru adik hadi nye style main banje2 aiskrim hehe)
Penyertaan tak dibuka pd sape2 yang penah masuk muzium ni. haha

untuk sape2 yang gian nak main daytona pon boleh datang sini ye.

saya pun tak paham knp photographer saya pegi tangkap gambar ni. tp sy macam comel je memasak ikan yang lebih besar dr mangkuk kan kan. hehe

ok. saya kalah main congkak dengan org yang tak sepatutnya menang. haisshhh. rematch, jom!

So, ape lagi kawan-kawan yang tak pernah melawat muzium yang indah lagi menawan, plus free admission ini. Sila lah pergi melawat dan belajar menghargai muzium2 yang terdapat di dalam Malaysia ini terutama di USM. :D

North Malaysia Trip. Day 3

Last episode of the North Malaysia Trip. hehe.

Pagi2, selepas bersiap & mensarapankan diri, keluar ke pekan Alor Setar buat kali terakhir untuk mengambil gambar di tempat2 yang x sempat nak disinggah (ayat ada berbunyi macam suh dtg lg x? ;p)

Masjid Zahir, the State Mosque

Balai Besar

Replika Pintu Gerbang "Istana Kota Tengah"

Balai Nobat
Clock Tower

Sesudah sessi photography berjalan dengan lajunya, kami pun bergerak ke Pulau Pinang pula. Ni dah check out skali la ni. So keluar highway, naik feri, maka tibalah ke Pulau Pinang yg dah macam kampung sendiri ni sebab (almost) semua tempat dah sampai. haha

incik kura2 semasa pertama kali sampai ke pulau pinang. tangkap gambar berlatar -belakangkan Komtar ala2 gaya seorang pelancong. semasa menunggu yang lain2 bershoppin jeruk di Pasar Chowrasta. pasni incik kura2 pasti akan ke penang byk kali sampai naik bosan. ok, incik kura2 belom ada name. ade suggestion x?

kemudian kami ke rumah kelahiran P.Ramlee sbb 2 orang ibu saudara yang masih belum pernah ke sana, tp tutup ye pada hari Isnin. isk. so kami memproceed ke Padang Kota untuk mengisi perut.

yummy!!!

dan alang2 dah di Padang Kota, saya dengan baik hatinya telah mencadangkan pada ahli rombongan supaya kami melawat Kota Cornwallis ini.

ini hanyalah lakonon semata2. tiada kaitan dengan yang hidup atau yang telah meninggal dunia.


dah lepas bergambar sakan yang x larat nak upload sebab banyak sangat, aktiviti seterusnya ialah berjalan kaki memusing2 area georgetown singgah segala kedai yang ada dan memuji2 keindahan bangunan2 lama yang cantik2 sehingga melayakkan Pulau Pinang tersenarai sebagai Tapak Warisan UNESCO.
dan akhirnya... tengok la ape yang saya dapati hasil berpusing2an itu. jangan jeles yer everybody, jeng jeng jeng.............


haha ok tipu je i didnt buy it for myself. diba wore nurin's and i wore diba's. haha nak gak rase pakai baju ben 10. gila!

ok setakat itu sahaja lah episod bercuti2 ke utara tanah air musim ini. sebab malam harinya ahli2 rombongan menaiki tren untuk pulang ke Kuala Lumpur tercinta.

sehingga berjumpa lagi pada musim-musim yang akan datang. byeeeeee~
(ni la masalah bile berangan nak masuk TV tp x berjaya ;p)
