Sailing at Marina Pulau Indah

Thanks to Groupon , I had the opportunity to buy and try out a day's course for Sailing. Despite the heavy rains for the past few days, on the day we had to sail, the weather was perfect. Hot and shiny... but no wind to begin with. 

The boat we were to sail on

So we started chilling and having snacks on the boat

The captain was a very friendly fella :) 

Some phenomena.. The ring around the sun..on the day we sailed.

Layan pictures

This is what happens when there is no wind.

The girls started blowing the sail! 

 After awhile the wind came, and we got busy with handling the boat.

Awesome trip but tiring

We even gotten Certificates for it! whooohoooo

Weekend away in Kuantan

1 Malaysia holidays should be celebrated like this. Different race, culture and nationality going somewhere and having some fun. That's exactly what we did. Well with a little purpose in it.

 The weekend was planned to head to Teluk Cempedak, Kuantan to participate for Ache Brasil Capoeira's 3rd Batizado (graduation). It was at the beach the whole time. Very hot, very windy and very fun trip all in all. With Malaysians off all races, malay, chinese, indian to other nationalities like Brasil, Africa, France and Canada.  Having a traditional outfit bbq party, to driving to Cherating to waking up the french boys for a day of fun :) Here are some pictures to share.

Even the Brazilian wore baju Melayu

Getaway to Cherating beach

Cherating beach! ALL TO MYSELF!!

EVIL French boys had their own private pool in their villa

Its time to wake them up

Kevin was not as happy as Younes to be woken up

Well everyone came out at the end.....

And loads of fun...

Of course we raided the private pool

WEEeeeee

The getaway girls!

 My review on this trip is simple 


Teluk Chempedak, Kuantan is fun filled with local cultures and families around. It is more packed with people and there are night shoppings and cheap food. But if you are planning for a sun tan in your bikini and some quiet time, i would not recommend this to you.


Cherating, Kuantan is a more relaxing place with lesser crowd on the beach and more foreigners. The water is clean and is plan tranquility. Food is more expensive though and not as much culture to experience :) 

Travel bug

I know I've always been into travelling.. even when i was broke. I recalled a few years ago someone told me it is because my generation of people were born during some alignment of the moon or some planets that people born during the 1980s were during the time of Mercury or something (the bullshit i can't remember) and were all into travelling. So blame it on the galaxy alignment... 

I wonder if i should change this boring blog of my life to the different travel journey's I've taken. I already share my travels but i was thinking of writing all the beautiful things i see, experience and all that. Perhaps i'll give it a try. 

Note: I'm not the richest girl around and i travel cheap/moderately and most of the time it's to somewhere nearby. We have 4 more months to go till 2012 happens and i have quite a number of places i already have in store... 

 Let's see.. Last 2 weeks ago was Jakarta & Bandung .. Which i will not blog about since i was 99.9% shopping only and didn't take much pictures.

 Coming up next would be Kuantan even though the trip is meant for mainly the Capoeira Batizado for a group there, I'll try to start from there and go around (if time permits me)

Kuantan, Teluk Cempedak Beach - Capoeira event location

After Kuantan in September, the next in schedule would be Janda Baik in Pahang. Some quite resort area filled with nature. This trip would be just 3 girls and it's for catching up and relaxing.. Also because we bought it cheap from Groupon Malaysia. 

Janda Baik - It looks nice.. we booked a whole house not this one i think

 The weekend right after that, Nadja saw this deal and bought also from GroupOn Malaysia a weekend for me and her to relax and at last visit Cameron Highlands. I foresee loads of pictures for this trip.. my mom even laughed at me for not being to Cameron highlands before and she drives there sometimes just for lunch.. Zzzzzz

Smokehouse, Cameron Highlands

 In November, we have Phuket early of the month. Did you know my father's family originated from Phuket? We apparently owned some plantation of some sort which my grandpa gave it away to his brother and moved to Malaysia. So this time around i want to head there for the first time and if there is a chance, to also meet my family there which i don't know who they are or seen them but i do have a phone number.. but i don't speak thai. Hmmm... Gonna be tricky. But either ways, will be loving the beach with Nadja, Urko,my aunt and her partner.

I hope Phuket will be as awesome as i expect it to be.

Oh did i mention, there might be a possibility of Jakarta again in October and Ho Chin Minh in Novemeber. Depending how lucky i am with AIrAsia.com or Fireflyz :) 


Wish me good luck with my blog post on travelling soon.. Perhaps i will go korek some old pictures to blog about past travels again.. :) hehehhe...

Best work / non work day ever...

As the office goes off to Nike SEA office in Singapore, the contract staffs in Nike Malaysia and the Nike golf people are left in for the next 3 days in our Malaysia office. (well i guess the same to the other offices around SEA).


The boss gave all of us contract staffs a day off on Monday to somewhat compensate for us not getting to go to Singapore. Are you kidding me? Already it's a celebration to be at the office with absolute (almost) tranquility... a day off? Awesome! Also asked to go have lunch and watch a movie / theme park fully claimable to the office. 


So i lay down in bed enjoying my happy hours of absolute laziness this morning. At about 9am, my warehouse started calling me asking about this and that for work. I answered and said good night.... they called again.. asking for something else. After awhile, i just got so irritated that i decided to go in to office to "entertain" all the requests. Talk about getting the day off.


But it was still an awesome day so far... Me and Average Joe took an early lunch nearby at Damansara Perdana and decided to do some grocery shopping at Solaris, Mont Kiara. Thanks to an awesome friend, i had Cold Storage shopping vouchers. We ended up buying RM 203.70 and i had to pay RM 3.70. Already a happy women, we drove back to the office to get our work done.

Around 2:30pm, we got bored and decided to go watch a movie..so we did! Now i'm back in the office blogging and working.. Gosh! i wish every workday was like this. I would retire here!!!  If i could! :) 

Fasting...Year 3

For those who do not know, this is my 3rd year fasting in full. Well almost full... I still swear and think naughty...
This year has been easier for me than last... For the days i do not train capoeira that is. 

As i am so used to the environment around me during these fasting month, it really woke me up when i read this post by this mat salleh dudedette which monir told me to read.

Indeed it's true, I get the same comments and remarks by mostly my non Muslim friends. For my muslim friends, they did not find it offending but instead supportive. Some friends even asked me if i was converting to becoming a Muslim (in a judgmental way) and some just laugh and say I will convert soon.


If that is the case, i would have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist & Dudeism since i in some way participated in certain things & events or ceremony. I celebrate X'mas and attended bible studies and donated to churches, I am vegetarian during the 9th month of the lunar calender and I practice free spirited thinking.. Muahahhaha....


I call myself... 1 MALAYSIAN :) So take it... and GO.... 

Get in the circle!!

Who says Capoeira is all about martial arts... We party hard to you know.. Well at least i do :p 

So last weekend i had my Capoeira Graduation week, My masters and Professors from around came to Kuala Lumpur to visit. Pictures of the graduation is on my other blog - www.mycapoeira.blogspot.com.

In every graduation, we would also have a Brazilian Night Celebration where we party how the Brazilians do :P 

When i saw some of the pictures of myself, it shocked me.. I look as though i was drunk.. hahaha

But all i drank was Sprite and Coke.... Well here are some pictures to share.

Me and Kudzai Samba-ing

My dance looks weird here with Professor Versatil, LA
