我的第一次 Driving Range

昨天，跟随老板去打golf. 虽然只是 driving range, 而不是 on green, 但还是很不错的。记得中学时期，放假或周末有时都会去Golf Club做 caddy, 帮人家拿golf bag. 当时，总是认为打golf是很简单的罢了。直到昨天，才知道玩golf并不是我想象中的容易。要如何以不同的irons, 瞄准那粒小白球， 再以很consistent 的把球往前直线打出去。打了整百粒球，手都酸了。但还是很爽，我想下个星期还会再去打吧！

学guitar..."霖"女孩...

玩了 guitar 都好几年了，向朋友学习，从书上自己摸索，觉得还是不是很"掂"，一直停留在乱弹的阶段。所以就跑去 music school 报名学 guitar. 虽然年纪好像有一点儿大了，music school 的学生，都是中学生，小学生，甚至幼儿园的小孩，但还是不管那么多了，豁出去了!学费是有点儿贵，但希望将来会有点成绩吧!
之前自学，都没有打好基本乐理基础；如今不同了，要和五线谱和一颗颗的豆芽"埋堆"了。开始是有点难度，每颗豆芽都差不多! 其实，也想过要学钢琴，但因为成本较贵，所以还是学好一样再学一样吧! 觉得，一个人，应该去学至少一样乐器，因为它是一种很好的陶冶心情的方法。
好吧，就看一年半载，能不能抱着吉它到处去"霖"一个女孩回来吧... 哈哈哈....

I conquered Gunung NuanG

Yesterday, together with friends, I conquered the highest mountain in Selangor, the Gunung Nuang at 1493m (4898feet).
Around 8.50am, 10 of us, we equipped ourselves with walkie-talkies, split into 4 groups (Eagle 1,2,3,4). We took about 3 and ½ hours to reach the 2nd base camp, Pacat Campsite by 12.20pm. We took 15 min break, and then we proceed to the summit. Unfortunately, some of the membes gave up before reaching the summit. They returned to the base camp.
However, Shu Yee, Michael and I insist to hit the summit. Starting from the base camp to the summit, we have to use our both hands to climb up. With the encouragement and support among us, we pushed ourselves to the limit even though we were tired and legs were full with Lactic Acid, made us feel the pain after the exhaustive climbing. At last, we reached the summit by 2.40pm. As the time was getting late, we must go down before 3pm. We stayed there for about 15min, and then we started to climb down. By then, unfortunately, my shoe tore off. With the heavy mist, and the wet mud, steep hill, it was even tougher for me. At 5.30pm, we met up with the other members who were still waiting us at the base camp, and we started to move down. By the time, everybody was extremely tired. I myself, almost exhausted on the way down. We move slowly, and the day was getting dark. We could just follow the trail with a small torch-light we had.
Finally, we managed to reach the registration office by 8.10pm. We changed our muddy clothes, and heading to grab some food.
It was quite a good experience. It reminded me the Mt. Kinabalu I climbed 3 years ago. I would say it is not less tough than that. Maybe I was not well prepared this round. Also, I learned a lesson here, if I were to go Gunung Tahan, I must be well trained in physically and mentality. Because Gunung Tahan climbing is like climbing Gunung Nuang for 5-6 days continuously from 8.30pm – 6 or 7pm daily. Now, one round up and down, my legs, knees and the joints all every painful already. Going up or down staircase, like killing me…arrrrr……..

Last Squash playinG nighT in PG
