Life Adventure : Paragliding at Jugra Hill, Selangor

Bismillah (with the name of Allah swt)..

Asslammualaikum (peace be upon you)..

Hi readers!
For 4 months : I've idle yet still have a lot of good stories to be tell and share. Now..Be ready to my later updates ya! 

And today, my hand n mind willing to share about my experience in doing Paragliding activity. To whom doesn't know what is paragliding. Here..

#Info4u#

As an Intro, Paragliding is the recreational and competitive adventure sport of flying paragliders: lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure. Meanwhile, the 140 meters Jugra Hill has been selected due to its suitable height, favourable and consistent wind as well as the existence of flat and spacious landing area located some 10 kilometers downhill. Ever since 2006, Jugra Hill has been the location for paragliding enthusiast either to undergone paragliding training or for tandem joyride.

and my story began in Friday morning, 23 Aug 2013, when my fiancee called me to ask if i want to join him for paragliding in Jugra Hill, Banting..and i like......what!!!!! I like it! OK!

Like my face when i agreed to do paragliding,

Excited + thrill = weird!

All the arrangement for the activities was arranged by my fiancee and his friends..and Tomorrow morning is the date. Okey.......

24 August 2013 (Saturday)

The weather is just nice and a little windy. The professional peoples suggest to do the activity on the afternoon around 2 pm since the wind at that time is not very suitable for flying.

I'm lucky coz the place to do the activity is near with my house..around 4-5 km only. I just rode my car with my fiancee, my little bro and sis.

So, here I'm...at 2 pm.

Waiting mode....................

# Info4u#
At the below of the hill, it have a few gazebo for resting, and also small recreational park to exercise.

At 4 pm, the instructor as our team to go up the hill. My team including me, my fiancee and 2 of his member. While, my lil' brother n sis waiting at landing mark to capture moment when we're flying down.

The take off point to launch are near the light house (cliff at the peak of the hill) and the journey takes around 10 mins to get up there by car.

View of from the launching point. The field down there is the landing mark.

There also another teams waiting to paragliding, as we're nervous, we're also shock with the fact that one of the team is recording Malaysia Book of Records for the youngest paraglider, 11 years old-trained boy and he's flying alone! Perghh...

For yr information, for untrained person, there must be a professional pilot to conduct the wings and before launching, we' had to sign a Responsibility Acknowledgement Form then, wearing the safety gear like harness and helmet.

My fiancee will launch first..hehehe

Setup gear for me..the bag behind me called harnness

Our pilot setup gears for my fiancee..

#Info4u# 

What is harness??

A harness offers support in both the standing and sitting positions. Most harnesses have foam or airbag protectors underneath the seat and behind the back to reduce the impact on failed launches or landings. Modern harnesses are designed to be as comfortable as a lounge chair in the sitting position. 

During my launch,my mind going blank. Seriously. Blank. Haha..too nervous maybe. 

As we know, launching and landing are done into the wind. At that time, the higher wind are blowing, thus the pilot has to use reverse launch as the pilot facing the wing to bring it up into a flying position, then turning around under the wing and running to complete the launch.

The pilot waiting for the right wind, he'll do'a first (he's a muslim) to ask Allah swt for our safe lauching and launding. And I?? mengucap la..who'll know what'll happen..he

As, the pilot says ok, he said lari, lari (Run2x)...and i just run until my foot floated in the air. 

Seriously, the view is awesome. Very breathtaking. I can see the view of the sea (Straits of the Malacca) as we fly at the sky...weeeeeeee.....hehe. I'm so happy...hehe. Unfortunately after around 7-10 mins, the wind going so strong and we've to land..If not, we can spend more time up there...

Here tips from me for the untrained people like me..

# During launch, look at the sky and run as fast u can. It'll reduce yr fear.

# As your foot didnt touch the ground, immediately pls landing back as u're sitting on the harnesses.

# For landing, as your feet touch the ground, u should run also.

The launching and the landing process, Jom Layannnn!!!!

             

My fiancee on the sky

His landing

and my turn....

That's me!!!!

  smile of the victory! I believe I can flyyyyy!!! hahaha

Here also my video during launching from the cliff of the hill. 

The experience is fun for me. I love during at the sky. So refreshing!
Thank you for reading, hope u enjoy..! See later!

Movie Review : Man of Steel 2013

Bismillah (with the name of Allah swt)

Assalammualaikum (peace be upon u) =)

Hi guys..!

1st article for this month, n its about the movie..yeah, an action based movie..i likeee!! 

Today, after finished our final yr exam (Industrial Law & Project Management), me n my bffs drove straight to the Alamanda, Putrajaya to see a new movie released today:

MAN OF STEEL

the costume have been modified..no red *****wear anymore ya...gud!

Yeah, to make the our life easier, i already make a pre-booked ysterday 1st even is the weekday, n my decision is absolutely rite! long Q r waiting at there..however...we're got our ticket 1st w/o make a line ! huhu

#Caution# 

- this review may have a spoiler..=p

- i'm not a professional movie critic, so pls understand if our viewpoint (s) is/are different since its my personal review =)

Here, a little bit info of the movie:

A young boy (clark kent@carl@Kal-El..which one do u like to call??) learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth (his original race is called kryptonian). As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do.So, he travelled around the country to know more about himself..and during that time, he meet a journalist name Lois Lane (of course..!) who he saved her later. She become curious to know more about her hero thus she started an investigation herself and finally meet him. However, after know the tragic story during his past time, she decided to forget her intention to expose him..(sure...). 

Unfortunately, a group of krptonian/aliens (which 100% human-like-formed) found him and claimed the world to give Kal-El to them. They want something called codecs from him which his late father (a kryptonian scientist) has stolen years ago. From then, the war between human-krytonian started to begin...

My opinion:

The starting make me a little bit confused. The story began with krpytonian fighting among themselves and their planet is destroyed. Then, i've started questioning..how the planet can be self destruct like that? n no one ever tried to save their race (since they r very high-tech). However, the later, his late father tell the truth strories..which i think what the heck that his late father mind/conscience/maybe ghost can be appeared again and talking who later help his son even he has died? 

The past history of Kal-El in the earth is clearly explained, on how he started to control his power and learned to use his power to save people. I like its story line which the fight is between the strongest (Kal-El and kryptonians) which i think amazing to see their strength. Also human/military that never afraid to fight to save human races even their weapons are not match with them.

Ending is quite heavy for me..too much fight and a lot of destruction occur. Why they must fight in the middle of city that have millions of population. Why military/kal-el did not tried to catch their (enemy) eye to fight in the middle of farm/sea? So cliche for any hero stories..Yup..maybe the only we see r the buildings that collapsed/exploded, but still maybe there peoples in there! 

Yet, they give a reason which kryptonian put their world engines (some massive gravity machine) in the middle of the city. 

What i like:

The storyline is fresh even i can expect somethings to happen like how enemies/kryptonian can save from the planet destruction...huhu. I love the modified costume of Superman and also love the characters in the stories.

What i did not like:

The fighting scene is too much..until i think that when it'll gonna end?? 

What funny to me and may/may not funny to you:

When the kryptonian 1st communicating with the human, they hacked the entire world communication (tv,hp etc). They wrote "You are not Alone" in every single language in the world...maybe google translate? huhu.

In the nutshell:

This story maybe not as good as the Iron Man III, however the some outline story of Man of Steel is fresh and still worth to watch. 

That's all from my personal review...how about uols??? Watch first la.....hehe

Thank u readers!!

Trivia:
1. Before going to examination hall, my motorcycle cannot started. So, i've to walk around 10-15 mins to the hall since the bus to there is already passed. What's starting of the day...=,= 
2. During  the beginning of the movie, the white screen is blurred and i can see a hand shadow on the screen. Its caused by the technical problem and the incident occured for 5-10 mins. The other viewer started to confuse and make chaos. Also the projector is kind of shaky for a few minutes and that make me feel dizzy to watch the movie.

However, the day is fun to me since spend it with my friends...since it our last semester together......

It's maybe the last semester for us to be an university student..however, it's just the beginning for us to change ourselves to be more better person in future...

That's life! its has starting and ending.

Behind the scenes of DIY mini dais@mini pelamin:

1. The red flowers background is actually a sliding door curtain. We just nailed it on the wall. (credit to my aunt@ mak uda)

2. The lace on top is my home curtain. We just pin it with needles. 

3. The yellow curtains (y its looked like cream meh??) on the background are just plain satin. Last min i've borrowed it from my aunt@ mak teh. So lucky she have 15 m long plain satin fabric that not used n i just cut it onto 4 parts to become background curtain n the remainder become the cover for the stage. Also we just pin it.

the ultimate moment ^^

EXTRA SAVE :
It actually comfy to only sit down on the stage so, no need to rent a cushion more! hehe..see..me n my future mum-in-law in above pic <3

So happy that my family and friend willing to help me...i'm so touched with their hardwork..sobs2..

ISU SEMASA : GST

GST

Oleh: Norman 

Dengar saja tentang GST perkara pertama yang akan terlintas di kepala kita sudah pastilah tentang kenaikan harga barang disebabkan cukai yang dikenakan kerajaan. Memandangkan pada PRU13, BN kekal dipilih sebagai kerajaan pelaksanaan GST mungkin akan terjadi dalam tempoh masa setahun atau dua tahun daripada sekarang. Walaubagaimanapun sebagai rakyat yang matang kita haruslah memahami sesuatu isu tersebut sebelum kita membangkang apa sahaja dasar yang dibawa kerajaan. 

Setelah menerima maklumbalas daripada laman media sosial Twitter dan FB saya simpulkan ramai yang sebenarnya tidak faham tentang apa itu sebenarnya GST, bagaimana GST dilaksanakan dan juga kesan GST terhadap harga barang dan perkhidmatan. Saya tidak menyalahkan kawan-kawan semua kerana kerajaan juga tersilap langkah apabila penerangan tentang GST tidak dibuat secara menyeluruh malah peluang menerangkan GST melalui media perdana seperti suratkhabar, tv & radio disia-siakan kerajaan apabila ia hanya digunakan untuk menghentam pembangkang, menabur fitnah dan terbaru membangkitkan semangat perkauman. Sebelum membaca artikel ini saya minta kawan-kawan tinggalkan politik partisan, buka mata dan hati supaya kita faham apa itu sebenarnya GST.

CUKAI DI MALAYSIA

Terdapat dua jenis cukai utama yang dikenakan kepada rakyat Malaysia yang pertama cukai pendapatan (income tax) dan yang kedua cukai penggunaan (consumption tax). Cukai pendapatan adalah cukai yang dikenakan keatas segala pendapatan termasuk gaji, bonus, hadiah, komisen, dividen dan sebagainya. Manakala cukai penggunaan dikenakan keatas barangan yang dibeli atau perkhidmatan yang kita gunakan. GST terletak dibawah kategori cukai penggunaan (consumption tax).

APA ITU GST DAN SST?

GST adalah 'Goods and Services Tax' atau cukai barangan dan perkhidmatan. Selama ini kita rakyat Malaysia membayar SST iaitu 'Sales tax and Service tax' atau cukai jualan dan cukai perkhidmatan. SST kebiasaannya dikenakan ke atas bil telekomunikasi, internet, ASTRO, tiket wayang, tiket parking, barangan di supermarket, KFC, McD, Pizza pada kadar 6% untuk cukai perkhidmatan (service tax) dan 10% untuk cukai jualan (sales tax). Anda boleh merujuk bil atau resit setiap kali anda membuat bayaran bil telefon, ASTRO, selepas membeli belah di Tesco, Jusco, Giant dan sebagainya semuanya ada tertera jumlah dan peratusan SST yang dibayar. 

GST yang dicadangkan kerajaan Malaysia pada tahun 2009 adalah pada kadar 4% menjadikannya lebih rendah daripada SST pada kadar 6%-10%. Jadi apa bezanya GST dan SST? Pelaksanaan GST merangkumi segala jenis barangan dan perkhidmatan yang ada di Malaysia termasuk barangan yang diimport mahupun yang dibuat dibuat di Malaysia. GST akan mengenakan cukai pada setiap lapisan peringkat bekalan barangan dan perkhidmatan contohnya dari pengilang (manufacturer), pemborong (wholesaler), peruncit/kedai (retailer) hinggalah kepada pengguna (end-customer). Cukai GST ini akan dikutip setiap kali transaksi berlaku dan penjual akan mengutip cukai daripada pembeli mengikut rantaian bekalan tadi. Walaubagaimanapun 4% itu adalah kadar tetap dan tiada cukai berganda (multiple taxes). SST pula kebiasaannya dikenakan kepada pelanggan yang membeli barangan daripada kedai/peruncit dan terdedah kepada cukai berganda. Pelaksanaan SST juga tidak menyeluruh menjadikan ia tidak saksama.

PELAKSANAAN GST

Idea melaksanakan GST ini mula dibincangkan pada tahun 2007 dan pada mulanya dijadualkan untuk dilaksana pada tahun 2009 kemudiannya ditangguh atas sebab pilihanraya dan juga atas sebab kurangnya pemahaman tentang GST dikalangan rakyat Malaysia. Kemudiannya rang undang-undang GST dibaca diparlimen buat kali pertama pada tahun 2009 dan dijadualkan dibaca untuk kali kedua pada 2010 namun ia ditangguhkan juga atas sebab-sebab yang sama. Anda boleh merujuk keratan berita dari Berita Harian tentang jadual bacaan rang undang-undang GST di sini: http://www.bharian.com.my/bharian/articles/2013011405244620130114052446/Article/index_html. 

GST yang dicadangkan kerajaan adalah pada kadar rata 4% untuk SETIAP barangan dan perkhidmatan WALAUBAGAIMANAPUN kerajaan akan mengecualikan GST ke atas barangan seperti makanan asas beras, gula, tepung, pengangkutan awam seperti tiket bas, komuter, LRT dan juga barangan seperti ubat-ubatan dan sebagainya. Dengan pengecualian ini kesan kenaikan harga ke atas barangan dan perkhidmatan asas adalah minima (atau tiada). Perkara ini ada dinyatakan di laman web Kastam DiRaja Malaysia tentang GST: 

KEPERLUAN MELAKSANAKAN GST

GST perlu dilaksanakan untuk meluaskan kadar kenaan cukai kepada semua individu dan perniagaan di Malaysia lalu menambah pendapatan kerajaan secara tidak langsung. GST juga akan menutup kelemahan pengurusan cukai SST seperti cukai berganda, lari daripada cukai (tax evasion) dan sebagainya. Untuk pengetahuan kawan-kawan daripada keseluruhan tenaga buruh (workforce) di Malaysia peratusan yang membayar cukai pendapatan (income tax) adalah kurang daripada 10% sahaja bermakna mereka yang membayar cukai pendapatan adalah sedikit jika dibandingkan dengan mereka yang menerima manfaat daripada kerajaan seperti BR1M, BB1M dan segala bentuk jenis subsidi yang lain. GST akan menjadikan setiap lapisan masyarakat sama ada miskin, sederhana atau kaya membayar cukai untuk menyumbang kepada pendapatan kerajaan. 

GST TIDAK ADIL KEPADA ORANG MISKIN?

GST nampak tidak adil kepada mereka yang berpendapatan rendah kerana mereka terpaksa membayar cukai pada kadar yang sama seperti mereka yang berpendapatan tinggi. Oleh sebab itu kerajaan disamping melaksanakan GST perlu memperkenalkan pakej atau program seperti bayaran tunai atau rebat kepada mereka yang berpendapatan rendah. Program sekarang seperti BR1M boleh dijadikan contoh tetapi pelaksanaannya perlulah teliti dan lebih sistematik agar bayaran tunai untuk menangani kos GST tidak tiris dan terdedah kepada penyelewengan (contohnya: orang yang tidak layak juga terima BR1M). 

Konsep cukai penggunaan (consumption tax) seperti GST adalah semakin banyak anda membeli barang atau menggunakan perkhidmatan semakin banyak cukai yang dibayar. Bermakna anda boleh mengawal perbelanjaan anda secara berhemah dan berjimat. Mereka yang berpendapatan tinggi akan membayar cukai lebih tinggi apabila mereka berbelanja lebih berbanding mereka yang berpendapatan rendah hanya akan berbelanja mengikut kemampuan mereka. Program bantuan tunai daripada kerajaan akan mengurang kesan GST kepada mereka yang berpendapatan rendah.

KESAN GST

GST jika dilaksanakan seperti di negara lain contohnya Singapura, apabila GST dilaksanakan kadar cukai pendapatan (income tax) akan dikurangkan secara berperingkat. Ini akan memberi kesan positif kepada pembayar cukai pendapatan di mana mereka akan ada lebih pendapatan boleh guna (disposable income) untuk dibelanja atau disimpan. Walaubagaimanapun kerajaan Malaysia masih belum bercadang untuk mengurangkan kadar cukai pendapatan, mungkin ia akan dimaklumkan kemudian hari. GST juga secara tidak langsung akan menggalakkan rakyat menyimpan untuk pelaburan dan berbelanja secara berhemah dan jika perlu sahaja. 

Mengenai kerisauan dikalangan kita bahawa GST akan meningkatkan harga barangan, memang ia tak dapat dinafikan yang ada sesetengah barangan akan naik harga TETAPI ada juga barangan yang akan turun harga setelah kadar GST 4% ini dilaksanakan kerana sebelum ini SST 6-10% dikenakan maka ada penguranagan kadar cukai disitu. Harga KFC, tiket wayang, bil telco akan berkurang sedikit manakala barangan yang tidak dikenakan cukai SST sebelum ini seperti barangan elektrik, komputer dan sebagainya akan meningkat sedikit. Kita perlu perbetulkan pemahaman dan salahfaham mengenai konsep GST sebelum menganggap ia semata-mata akan menaikkan harga barang.

Kerajaan juga akan membentuk jawatan kuasa yang memantau serta mengawal kadar kenaikan harga barang agar kenaikan harga barang tidak mendadak dan peniaga tidak akan mengutip untung berlebihan: 

SALAHFAHAM KEBELAKANGAN INI

Kebelakangan ini tersebar tentang 'GST' telah dilaksanakan melalui penyebaran gambar ini: 

GST yang dimaksudkan diatas adalah 'government service tax' pada kadar 6% dan bukannya Goods and Services Tax pada kadar 4% yang dicadangkan. Sepatutnya Tesco Extra menulisnya sebagai SST atau Service Tax dan bukannya GST untuk mengelakkan kekeliruan seperti diatas. GST 4% akan menggantikan cukai perkhdimatan 6% ini. 

Cukai perkhidmatan diatas sebelum 2011 adalah pada kadar 5% kemudiannya dinaikkan kepada 6% berkuatkuasa 1 Januari 2011. Rujuk: http://kms.customs.gov.my/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=99:info-untuk-umum--cukai-perkhidmatan&catid=39:cdnk&Itemid=94

PENDAPAT PERIBADI

Di atas saya telah menerangkan konsep, pelaksanaan dan kesan GST kepada kita semua. Jika anda bertanya kepada saya secara peribadi, saya menyokong pelaksanaan GST ini dengan syarat kerajaan meningkatkan kecekapan pengurusan jabatan-jabatan yang terlibat, pemantauan teliti untuk mengelakkan pengguna ditekan atau ditipu peniaga dan penerangan yang lebih jelas kepada rakyat keseluruhannya. Kerajaan juga perlu memperkenalkan pakej atau program yang lebih mampan untuk menangani kesan GST kepada golongan berpendapatan rendah, miskin dan miskin tegar. Pelaksanaan GST tidak boleh dilaksanakan dengan terburu-buru dan perlu diadakan tempoh percubaan (trial period) sepertimana ia dijalankan di negara lain. Disamping itu kerajaan juga sepatutnya menurunkan cukai pendapatan dan juga meningkatkan pendapatan seisi rumah untuk menangani kesan langsung daripada GST.

KESIMPULAN 

Saya seorang individu yang pro-Pakatan Rakyat sebenarnya berkongsi kerisauan dengan kawan-kawan tentang cara kerajaan membelanjakan wang cukai yang dikutip. Lihat sahaja berbillion ringgit bocor, tiris dan dibazirkan setiap tahun seperti mana yang digambarkan didalam laporan ketua audit negara. Ini sahaja kerisauan kita bukan? GST adalah dasar yang baik tetapi bolehkah kerajaan dibawah BN membelanjakan wang kita dengan baik dan adakah rakyat akan mendapat faedah ke atas cukai yang dibayar nanti?

Didalam tempoh 5 tahun ini suka atau tidak GST tetap akan dilaksanakan. Bezanya kita sebagai rakyat perlulah memahami konsep GST itu sebelum kita membangkang membuta tuli tanpa fakta dan asas. Nak jadi pembangkang jadi pembangkang yang bijak, mahu jadi macai jadi macai yang cerdik. Harga barang naik atau mahal bukan disebabkan cukai, ia disebabkan monopoli dimana bekalan atau supply barangan dipegang oleh orang-orang tertentu sahaja. Ini yang patut kita tentang dan bangkang. Beras dan gula semuanya dipegang orang yang sama. Jadi mari sama-sama kita tolak monopoli dan favoritisme oleh kerajaan kepada tokey-tokey tertentu. Buka pasaran untuk persaingan sihat supaya akhirnya kita berada dalam situasi menang-menang. Rakyat untung, peniaga untung.

Tambahan: Sesetengah restoran atau perkhidmatan mengenakan service charge 10% yang mana kutipan ini tidak ada kena mengena dengan kerajaan. Jika GST dilaksanakan service charge ini mungkin kekal. Ada beza service charge dan service TAX.

Experiencing BIG20 - SUNWAY LAGOON MALAYSIA

Bismillah (with the name of Allah SWT..)

Assalamualaikum (peace be upon u..) =)

Currently is 1.58 a.m so GOOD EARLY MORNING to the all readers!!

Yeah..today i would like to share my EXCITED budget trip to sunway lagoon with my friends..

actually this time is my 7th time to come in 10 years..however, this time is different bcoz they have a new game..yup, NEW GAME n it is AWESOME!! it is called as Vuvuzela..

this is VUVUZELA..seriously it one of best water game for me

It is my biggest attraction to me..so i straight agreed when my friends asked me to join them to sunway lagoon even i've no budget...huhu.. the other reason is bcoz Sunway Lagoon has PROMOTION on EVERY 20TH of month until this Oct 2013.. that's meaning only RM20.00 (for mycard holder only) per entrance ticket for all parks (there are five parks ; water, amusement, extreme, wildlife and scream park). SOO CHEAP!! seriously..the original price is RM90 (for mycard holder only). For more info :https://www.facebook.com/SunwayLagoonMalaysia?fref=ts or http://www.sunwaylagoon.com/.

So, we decided to buy tickets for 20th April 2013.. n the 'geng' are 5 of my classmates, n my BF (of coz la..he cannot be excluded..hehe) 

the poster..seriously RM20 only/ticket

However!! its have CONDITIONS:

-Only for 1st 1000 malaysians;  

-Only available at main counter to buy the tickets

- Each person want to buy this ticket have to attend at the counter (yes, i even see one brought entire of his family to buy tickets)

- and the ticket counter open start at 12.00 a.m (19th) ..repeat! 12 A.M...seriously, what the??? so what time have to come to start a queue??

So, i made a 'research' a little bit at their official FB about the previous feedback. Mostly people said unsatisfied since there are chaos during that time, some 'shameless' people cut the line of people who came early..yeah,they started to queue at 10pm...hence..

Night of 19th April 2013:

This time my friends and i prepared mentally n physically (mental to wait the queue for hours n physically to fight with 'those' who 'shameless')..so, we leaved from UKM bangi after maghrib (around 8.00 pm) n reached there around 9.00 pm...emm..i'm naively thinking, okey no worry, we arrived early. My BF is still otw since he come all the way from Banting.

BUT AT THERE,

my pupils size become bigger...haha, seriously, there r already hundreds of people queuing behind the gate bars..ok fine! so we went to the main gate..n the guards gave each one of us a card written a number (so that they know the no. of people, hence when reached the limit 1000, they can close the gate). 

What number that i've got? let me see... hah?! 611..perghh...its still 9.15 p.m and i'm already 611th person. Hurm..i've started to worry, my BF still on his way..cool down..there still 389 vacancies..huhu..positive!

Until 9.45 p.m, the no. r increasing, n what we r doing?? sitting down behind the bars waiting the counter to open, n we cannot get out..seriously like got arrested...haha...Finally, my BF getting there (with his younger sis) n got the no. 782th..

Okey, now continue to wait........so boring.....infront of me there was an indian family,, with a father hold his daughter (around 3++ years) who look like really sleepy but still have to wait..ermm..

However around 10.10 pm, the limit 1000 finally reached, n the sunway lagoon crews decided to open the counter early (yes! yes!). So, after a few mins, finally we got the wristband ticket for each of us. But, we have to wear it that time too (in my mind, what? have to sleep with it?  =,=)..no comment.

So, that's all about the eve night. We reached at UKM around 12 a.m (having dinner after bought the tickets) n sleep early to save energy for tomorrow. Promise to meet at 8.30 a.m. (BLEH PERCAYA KE?)

Morning of 20th April 2013

#My tip!

-  Sunway lagoon opens at 10.am..so Pls have your breakfast 1st before that. That bcoz of any outside foods n drinks are not allowed to bring in..n the price of beverages in there is quite expensive for me (that's common for tourism place)

- However u can bring mineral water, so dun't forget it..seriously important bcoz u will quickly feel thirsty when playing unless u want to drink water from watercooler (free of charge) or buy drinks (kachinggg.. $$$)

So, we decided to breakfast 1st...at 8.30 am, i'm waiting my friends to pick up me at my residential college..we're lucky to go outside UKM on that day bcoz they announced that there will be no electricity (someplace also no water) in UKM..so i;m happy..haha

9.30 am..still waiting..n finally they came..huh!! overslept..sighh... so we cannot get our proper breakfast (only ate gardenia bread in the car)..n reached at Sunway lagoon around 11 am. The funny thing is, six of us went there in one car, n that car is kancil..can u imagine?? 2 boys and 4 girls in moderate size sat together? of coz la 4 of the girls have to squeeze at back seat..

somewhat like my friend's car..but his one is in blue color..n six of us in there!

We entered sunway, n one of my friend ask to join bungy jumping..so, we go to the counter, n ask about the price (since its is excluded from the package)..RM75..hurm..no budget for that..so only her to do it..yup..her..

After registered, her jump was scheduled at 5 pm, so we're all decided to play Extreme park : paintball. Our lucky, there is no people, so we just come in, grab the pistol n shot. Around 10 shots, finished..like that?? hurm...no so fun..so we went to rock climbing.

us..actually the floor is hot..so we wearing slipper..hehe

We want to climb, the track is not very high...however, the hot weather make the rock become fire stone to us..haha..so just 2 rocks, take pictures n blah from there..hehehe

then, went to ATV motor riding..pergh...the queue line is long..so, me n my BF went to have walk first (with his sis also ok..),meanwhile my friends waiting..huhu.. For us, walk=play..so 3 of us, we decided to play vuvuzela...haha..

waiting for vuvuzela (have to climb up stairs ya...like 3-4 storeys??) hehe

only capture other people pic..haha..coz whose gonna take for us? =,=

haha...seriously AWESOME n FUN for me for riding vuvuzela...the world's largest water ride (as they claimed..) try to experience it yourself when have a chance!..no regret!

after vuvuzela..we play another water ride..hehe..

After 2 games (about after 30 mins), we went back to our friends..omg..they still waiting but smiling..hehe.. started to feel guilty bcoz not waiting for them to ride vuvuzela (sorryy....hahaha)

all of us who came in one car..

me and him..the white 'cap' on top of his head is must wear thing to ride ATV

finally, we have our ATV's!!!

after riding ATV..

ATV riding is about 5-10mins? its still fun to me even in second time tried it. The dislike is the short track..however overall its still one of must ride game. =)

Then we ride vuvuzela!! (again.. for me,bf n his sis..hehe)

before departure..5 peoples per ride.

also we recorded a camera video during riding the vuvuzela as memory..haha..

P/sss..i've brought waterproof digital camera so that can capture moment like this..(later will upload, since my line is slow as snail today).....n after that we played water slides..again... then we played water ride using double tube (couple per ride)..

waiting for riding 

ready for departure of water sliding??

So..after the rides, me n my BF took a rest at swimming pool with others two my friends. I started to feel exhausted (of coz la..not having proper breakfast n playing excessively) 

our moment..1 of my friend ask, how did i open my eyes n smiling like that in the water? with a little confused , i answered..just like that la,,,haha

Then we all went to new attraction at sunway, waterplexx5D. It's miserable for me..the queue line is very long...after 1 hour waiting before entered,  but the play is very short like 5 mins? only a little bit shaking chair, water splash from nowwhere suddenly..the story like u want to escape from a pirate island..no offense, but before i've already tried 6D theater at KL Tower which is so exciting , so this time is only so-so for me...

not very exciting to me..

Then, we went to scream house (actually only 5 of us..the boys, me n my sis..others not very brave to get in), but another one park that not wasting time..the 'ghost' is zombie style, the make up looking real however, their acting..is little bit plain to me..so no scream from us, instead laughing when see the zombies n ghosts...hahaha. After that, we went to play almost all amusement park (some of them was closed for improvement..=().

At 5 pm, my friend, asmak went to bungeeeee.....wahhhhh...

Here are the steps you need to follow before the jump:

1) Fill up and sign a "Life & Death Agreement". 

2) Weight yourself and your weight will be written on your hand with a permanent marker.

3) Walk all the way to the bridge and wait for your turn

4) Surrender all your belongings and they will not be responsible if any of your things drop into the lake.

5) They will wrap your leg nicely. You can request them either wet yourself at head level or half body. Of course, you also can opt out from getting wet but what is the fun, right?

6) Tip top to the jumping board and listen to a countdown instruction

7) Don't look down and jump...close your eyes if you want or scream as loud as u can.

8) Hang in there until you are being picked up.

See that? she is so brave...the height is like 22 m n she jumped twice!

Then, we hang out to swim at the artificial beach, however, not more than 10 min, the life guards got rid of us to make space for surfer for boarding wave (all of us means every one at the beach)...huh..

Thus, we decided to blah n wash out..however, one accident happen when one of my friend's bag is stole by some guys, there are not valuable thing in there, but! still there have clothes in there...ya...so we all look for it, in the garbage,toilets etc..n 

So, dear friends, pls keep your belonging in the locker ya. 

Price is rm5/locker (can only open once) n rm15/locker (can open anytime u want) until 6pm only since the park closed on 7pm everyday.

We were the last group who got out from sunway...n lucky for us, we found the bag in men's washroom.. =)

We having our dinner (actually 3 in 1;breakfast,lunch, dinner)..out trip no end likes that! i'm very tired (n also i've stomach ache..maybe gastric) ..but my friends are so hyper..seriously hyper! they asked to go to having meatball at IKEA damansara, what??? ritenow we're having a dinner but still want to go eat? but..since i'm hitching with them..so i just followed them. 

At 10 pm, we having meatballs, n 11pm we went back, however! not finish yet......=,=

They want to go to the beach (bagan lalang wey......seriously guys? did u all did not tired??) In the way, they change the plan n went to Selayang hot spring..we arrived there at 12 am..yup...we hope can rest a little at there..but unfortunately, the hot spring is outdoors n a lot of peoples at there..so not comfortable to sleep on the ground under banana tree...ahahaha ..So, wedecided to go back to UKM....yeayy!!! finally alhamdullilah..

We arrived at there around 1 am..n the end of the day..yes the end...and of coz la i've deep slept that night! =p
