So we reach Taman Pertanian / Bukit Cahaya, Shah Alam around 9a.m. Gathered at the entrance there then took the shuttle to go into the jungle! All was quite excited about it because some of them are first timer and I can’t wait to go on to the Extreme Challenge itself.

The bus stopped and we got down. Some of them already shaken up looking at the ladder going up the tree.
Aivee: “Can I go on the Big Thrill one instead? Why did I signed up for this?!”

At the gearing up section waiting to grab our gears. Gloves are sold for RM3 a pair, recommended for Extreme Challenge.

Aivee still can open her mouth so big and laugh. Didn’t know what’s coming up.

Jook, Tay, Faris, Zaheer, and me covering our vital part because after wearing those harnesses, the “package” really “comes out”.

Instructor giving safety briefing.

Aivee thinking: “Why did I signed up for this again?”

Can’t wait to go up!

Siewmei carefully locking her carabiners one by one.

Aivee climbing up the ladder with doubt.

Hamyu: “Don’t think! Just do it!”
Aivee: “Did I really signed up for this?”

The first flying fox to start the Extreme Challenge course.

Woooo~ hoooo~

Me after the first flying fox. Siewmei took this photo for me! I didn’t camwhore!

Prepare for the 2nd flying fox! Already sweating.

Spot Siewmei in the photo!

Fun gliding through~

Our first non-flying fox challenge. Erm… what do you call this? Floating Logs?

This monkey bar is one of the hardest for the whole challege. For me la.

Swinging Tubes. Instructor behind Siewmei telling her how to do it.

A shot of Lay completing the Floating Logs.

The first Rope Walking. It’s quite hard to aim for the rope in front when you’re shaking.

Mr. Ham on Swinging Tubes.

2nd Rope Walking. This time the handle is lower thus easier.

Me on the 2nd Rope Walking. Half way through. Like I’m walking on air.

Resting before going for the next challenge.

A very easy task for Hamyu. Look at him! Like walking on the ground!

Another killer ladder climb. But Mr. Ham still keeps the cool.

Siewmei: “Looks like very hard wor.”

Walking on the Tightrope. First time on my life.

Eh… not that hard only~

Completed jor.

Hamyu coming through the Tightrope.

Easy job for him too. Not much of a challenge.

3rd Flying Fox.

Hamyu clearing the way by kicking the branches sticking out.

2nd Tightrope. This time with 2 cables for you to hold.

Balancing is the key.

Rope Bridge. Not much of a challenge for us also.

This one is another variant for the Tightrope walking. Instead of one rope, there are 2 now.

Going through this challenge is not quite a pretty scene. Me wallking kangkang.

Siewmei completing it with ease.

Floating Planks.

Feels like a character in Avatar. Ho ho…

The Yellow Man in the jungle! Got line lor… look at those he’s holding and walking.

One by one finishing the challenges.

Got some kind of liquid on the cable.

Hamyu’s turn to learn the way of the Na’vi.

Ladder climbing down. Finally no need to climb up again.

A lot a lot easier than climbing up.

Check your harnesses before attempting any challenge.

For this challenge, the stepping wooden planks are quite solid and non-shaky.

This one is even easier. Just like walking on a hanging bridge which will sway from front and back.

The location of this challenge actually kinda intersect the Big Thrill Challenge. So we can actually see the Big Thrill group playing.

Walk walk walk, shoot shoot shoot.

Done.

This is the final challenge. It’s also the Tightrope walking, but this time you’ll be holding those handles like you would hold in a train or bus. So no problem for those who always took public transportation la.

Justine performing some “high” fashion pose during one of the challenge.

Za and Faris waiting for their turn.

*Super Mario Bros music playing in the background*

Tay is not impressed.

Zarzan. OoooOOOooooOOoooo~

That’s it! The Extreme Challenge ended with no big finale. Just a path like how they use for their “Chicken Exit”. Am quite dissapointed. You’ll see how the Big Thrill challenge ends with the longest Flying Fox.

Yippie got stuck on one of the Flying Fox and the instructor went and help her out. Failed.

Jook locking himself to the big rope before jumping onto the big net.

Is he using his feet to hook onto the net? Weird pose. Like Cirque de Soleil performer.

Spiderman Tay.

The people who finished all the challenges waiting for the rest to finish.

You see… this is how it’s suppose to end!

After SkyTrex it was already 1 something pm. The gang went back to Subang and stuffed their faces.

Ben and Syam. Ben was in the picnic / chicken gang.

Leslie and Jacque.

Mr. Ham and Tay.

Eli and Waihoong didn’t bring Joey out for this adventerous trip.

Jook and Shyng.

Aivee and Siewmei.

Yippie, Justine, and Dawn.

Ending the entry with Karen and Lay with his signature pose.

Overall this trip was quite a fun trip. But some didn’t like the challenges cos it’s too hard or too tiring. But hey, once a while coming out to do these kinda outdoor stuffs is good for you!

Seafood pasta.

A little cake for his birthday.

Jook arrived when we were almost done. But then, he arrived la.

A happy birthday party might not need a lot of people to be happy.

Because it was a join birthday party, a lot of people showed up, some for Yippie and some for Weiyee. But most of them know each others. And because a lot of people showed up, there’s a lot of pictures taken. Filtered a lot of pictures and ended up with all these to blog.

Alexis’ menu

Very nice ambience

Tables and chairs prepared for big group of people.

First group of people to arrive at Alexis. Me and Sue-Ann reaches there earliest because she got a bet with Jacque saying that she’ll be on time. She did!

So me and Andrew went look for our own dinner, then after that only we drove to Seri Kembangan to look for Dom at his house. It’s been some time since I last saw little Damien. He’s getting cuter and cuter. Very hyperactive, non-stop moving when I was there in his room. I was thinking maybe because he saw somebody new that’s why he’s acting very hyper. But Cheeleong told me he’s like that, constantly. Haha. Complaining very tired taking care of Damien. Good luck dude.

Tadaa~ first appearance in my blog. Introducing, Damien Poon.

Cute or not? Wearing tie and got batches. So formal. Hehe.

Playing on one thing while looking for the next thing to play.

Side profile.

Playing with his toy house.

I think that’s 2 twirls on his head there. Will be a naughty little kid.

Father and son. Happy~

After playing with Damien, the adults went out for a drink at somewhere near his place. The Ambience of the place was quite nice. And it was quite an interesting session. Here’s a picture of Soo and Dom.

Me and Andrew.

For more photos of cute little Damien, please visit Dominic’s blog.

Want to apologize to Waihoong because we set the dinner at 8pm, but we reached there around 9pm. So Waihoong waited there for an hour, alone. Hehe. Ooops.

Waihoong with his pissed face. His eyes are like questioning us why are we not punctual. Hehe. Jam la dude.

Siewmei posing with the menu while thinking of what to eat.

The place is filled with stuffs from the movie Forrest Gump.

We were seated next to the staircase. Behind us is a big poster of one scene from the movie.

Unique decorations but the seat we were seated was not so comfortable, a bit too tight.

Started, the onion rings.

To my right, the staircase.

Don’t know what is this called. But look delicious and tasted quite ok too.

Shrimps.

And more shrimps.

Sue-ann and Brian arrived. Sue was sick and Brian have to go all the way to Cheras to pick her up. That’s why they’re late.

Weiyee came after them, with a new hairstyle! We were all quite shock. Hehe.

Alex, the last to arrive.

Must take photos for memories la.

People from Beijing, China. Hehe.

Alex didn’t change much throughout the year.

Dessert menu was placed on a ping pong bat. Why? Because in the movie, Forrest Gump was very good in playing Ping Pong.

Took a photo of Weiyee in another room on the same floor. I think the decor is based on Forrest Gump’s house in the movie.

After we finished the meal, Siewmei helped us took a group photo. Thanks Siewmei. Sue look really sick in the picture.

This my first time eating at Bubba Gump Shrimp. The ambience and the feel are nice. The food consider quite ok also. The pricing is around the same as Chili’s and TGIF. You can go try try if you feel like eating prawns, I mean shrimps.

He used to be under me and Siewmei’s supervision during his employment in the office. Thus, we’re quite close together (correct me if I’m wrong. Lolz)

He gave us a surprised visit during last last Thursday, when we were having our Karaoke session at Redbox, Mid Valley. So after that Karaoke session, we went for our dinner at Burger King. Caught up about his study life in Taiwan, and talk a lot of other stuffs.

Wishing him success in his studies at Taiwan and become a good product designer.

(First photo, we’re very happy.)

We caught up a lot and enjoyed the night. Hope to see you soon again Liz and a Happy New Year.

John didn’t change much, just that he stopped smoking during his time in Sydney, and he ordered a plate of salad for his dinner. He’s getting healthier and healthier. We talked a lot during dinner, from his current working conditions, to some old company trips.

We had great time catching up with this old friend, and may all his plan work out. Merry Christmas John.

In photo (from left to right): Little Rabbito, John Knutsson, Jo-anne, Waihoong, Meiyeng, Karen Koay, Ben, Brian Leong, Sue-ann, Meng, Jook, and me holding the camera.

So after the Karaoke session, me and Siewmei bought some cakes and went to Sri Petaling to meet her friends. It was a small but warm gathering for them since they’re friends since college days. Catching up with each others and talking about some women’s stuffs since one of their friend, Liz is pregnant with a baby girl. Congrats.

The place that we went at Sri Petaling, from outside it just looks like a normal 2 storeys house with a lot of cars parked both side of the road. But inside, it’s actually Oh-&-Ah, the shop. Why did we gathered there is because one of their friend, Teck Yew(I think that’s his name) is one of the owner of the shop.

They sell all sorts of nice, cute, old-skool, useful and pretty stuffs. From home decorations to clothes, personal accessories to toys. And a lot of their products are handmade also! This means they’re unique. I’ll leave their website to list down what they have to sell. Gonna share some(a lot) of the photos I took there.

Their logo. An… erm… animal i think. With a lot of hair.

1st floor showroom.

Most of the accessories they sell is for the girls. So girls, if you like accessories, you’ll have to check them out.

Funky giraffes.

Earrings and printed tees.

Big rings.

Old-skool tin firetruck necklace.

Besides those items that can be bought, there are a lot of the decorations there that are only for display purposes only. Too bad.

Colourful earrings.

A special hanger for you to hang your earrings?

Handmade badges. Pretty nice and cute. We bought a few from the collection that they have here. But some of us are eyeing on the suitcase itself. Hahaha.

Each of their pricetag, are hand-drawn and pretty much unique from one another.

Nice and cozy fitting room.

It’s the Mega Sale season!

A beautiful tree branch decorated with little cards of of wishes and wish list of customers and friends.

A cabinet top filled with hand-molded figurines.

Looking for something different to put your flowers in?

Boxes with expressions.

Closer look at the figurines.

Stones with drawings. Pretty Zen-ish.

Tin toyz… is this old-skool or what?…

Animal shaped necklaces.

Key chain made out of… a lot of stuffs.

Ride with Mr. Postman.

Chalk writing on the wall. Pretty cool. I’m gonna try it in my room sometimes.

Dried flowers that they’re selling.

Notebooks.

Figurine A (right): “Wei, I think there’s something on your head.”
Figuring B (left): “Screw you la. Where got.”

A peachful demonstration.

I’m not sure whether it is eating the plant? Or it is vomitting them out.

Plant now! Safe the Earth. Apparently there are see
ds in those small boxes, that will grow trees up to 25m high!

Nice piece of antique-looking fan. But I think it is for blowing only, not for sale.

Some of the badges we bought in close-up.

It’s time for people shots.

Gigi and Brian. And Siewmei in the middle.

Me and Royce. Don’t be mistaken that we’re very close friends, this is my first time meeting her. Hahaha. Very friendly and playful as you can see from the picture.

This shot looks like some magazine cover.

A very nice shot of Siewmei posing against the dried flowers. The colours are very nice.

Brian Wong trying to perm his short hair.

Brian with the dried flowers also.

Very cute bag that Siewmei is holding. This shot also looks like those street fashion photography.

Good friends: Teck Yew, Gigi, Royce, Siewmei, and Liz. (from left to right)

Little drummer tin toy robot: “Thank you for your visit. Please come again soon.”

I already forgotten when was the last time I saw her. But I know it was damn long ago, because she told me that I look nicer with short hair. I was shocked when she told me that because I cut my long hair like yearsss ago. That’s how long she hasn’t seen me. Lolz.
