SkyTrex Adventure Park

As Salam uols!

.
Kali ni nak cerita pasal pengalaman beriadah bersama 7 sekawan di Bukit Cerakah, Seksyen 8, Shah Alam pada 19 February 2011 (Saturday). Terdapat 3 kategori yang disediakan iaitu Little Aventure, Big Thrill and Extreme Challenge.

.
Let me give some basic info on the differences of the courses offered.

.
a) Little Adventure
No of challenge: 23 adventure check point
Time to complete : 2 hours to complete all challenges
Min height : 1.1m
Max weight : 100kg
Platform height : Between 3m to 5m (not so adventure for adults)
Fees : RM35 (new price for year 2011)
.
b) Big Thrill
No of challenge : 26 adventure check point
Time to complete : 2 hours to 3hours
Min height : 1.4m
Max weight : 100kg
Platform height : 17metres
Fees : RM45 (new price for year 2011)
.
c) Extreme Challenge
No of challenge : 34 adventure check point
Time to complete : 2 hours to 3hours
Min height : 1.4m
Max weight : 100kg
Platform height : 22metres
Fees : RM50 (new price for year 2011)
.
So, we decided to try Extreme Challenge although this is the 1st time for most of us to be involved in such activity. Siapa org2 yang berani bagaikan perwira Negara tu??
.

1) Me, yaw!
2) Aimi
3) Lin
4) Kak Pya
5) Kin Cik
6) Kak Ita
7) Usop

.

.
The initial plan was for us to participate on the morning session which starts from 8.30am. Unfortunately the session can only slots for 4 more person as that is the only remaining slots available. Due to our enthusiast, we decided to join the afternoon session that starts at 2.30pm.

.
So, if you are planning to try the activity like me (in a group of 5person or more), I would recommend for you to make reservation firsthand. For lesser than 5 person, you may try your luck by walk-in. Better still, reserve your spot or you will be left disappointed.
.

.
After we had our lunch at Hijazi Point, Seksyen 2, we rushed ourselves to Bukit Cerakah. We arrived there around 1.50pm. After we bought the ticket, we took the shutter bus to the Skytrex Adventure Park. The entry fees is RM3 for adult and RM1 for kids.

.

.

.
The bus ride took us about 7-10minutes time. Then we check in by filling up the form provided. We settled the purchase of buying gloves at RM3 per pair (to avoid any injuries while hanging on to the cable wire), and rent a pouch bag at RM5 (money is refundable for pouch bag that is still in good condition).

.

.
The pouch bag is not as practical as it should be as pouch tu just boleh isi ngam2 botol air mineral tu je. Even nak simpan handphone pun tak muat. If you guys have your own waist pouch, better use yours sbb waist pouch dibenarkan while bag pack is permitted but not advisable. Kat sini jugak ada jual air if lupa nak bawak dari rumah kan. But the price maybe quite expensive la kot.

.
We moved to get the personal protective equipment located 10 steps away. Once the officer called our name, we were ask to have on the protective equipment which consist of 2 Carabiners and Pulley. Make sure bila pakai safety equipment tu, anda berasa selesa. Not too tight and not too loose. Sbbnya we will be fully depend on that thingy while we are doing the activity. Plus, we have to ensure that the Carabiner can work properly.

.

Around 2.30pm, we had our safety briefing which is conducted by Panjang (the instructor of the day). Owh ya, on the way to the safety briefing site, we all terserempak dgn Qi. Ala host JJCM 2011 tu. At that time, dia dah habiskan semua challenge. Maybe he took the morning session kot. Ok sambung balik, Panjang taught us how to use the carabiners and pulley. He also told us about the risk if the equipment is not properly used before doing some demo. The safety briefing took about 20minutes. To ensure that we have understood and our ears are on him during the briefing, we were asked to do some practical training.

.

.

The training that we have to do in front of him are climbing the ladders, walk on the wire cable and flying fox. Since we are in small group, Panjang mintak kami yg buat dulu the training session because there is another big group with more than 15 person, I guess. Sbb kalau tangkap gmbr tu, mmg penuh satu frame. Senang crite, kami dapat potong line la. ;)

.

.

.
Owh ya, at every checkpoints/decks, only 3 person are allowed at one time. Since there is another group at the first check point, we have to wait for them to clear out before we can start the actual circuit challenge. Our first warrior was Aimi. She volunteered to start first. Followed by Lin, Kak Pya, Kak Ita, Me, Kin Cik and lastly Usop. At every checkpoint, there is a person in-charge standing by. So, no need to worry. Make sure, once you get on the deck, clip on the carabiners on the wire yang dah ditag merah.

.

.

.

.

.
Antara byk2 cabaran, what I like the most is flying fox. Mmg enjoy! Just give a try to yourself. Mmg syiok, I guarantee!

Lunch at Amethyst Ayam Kampung

As Salam all,

.

Wooho! How are you everyone? Salam Maulidur Rasul! ;)

.
Ok, I already promised that want to tell you about my experience having lunch at Amethyst right! Quick update from me since I don’t have any idea to jot down here, hehe.. :P

.

.

As usual, we will have a slow walk to reach this restaurant. This restaurant always had a lot of customers. Around 1.30pm, all the dishes almost finished. So, we need to come early since there are no other options to eat except the nasi ayam. A friend of mine has give a tried the nasi ayam, but the comment from her, “Nasi ayam dia tak sedap.” Sounds cruel, rite! But for me, I still need give a try and will comment on it once I’ve tried someday.

.
Here are some pictures edited.
.

.

.

.

As price for lunch at RM5 below, is quite cheap. Total with the drinks it will be around RM5-RM6.50.. Quite ok la.. dapat jimat parking fees, plus dapat exercise. Setakat ni belum jemu lagi utk makan kat restoran ni.

.

Orait, need to go since esok kena hantar my dad to get his check-up. Good nite everyone~

Majlis Birthday - Februari 2011

Hiya all~~

.

.

Just looking at the picture, you guys already know what I will share with you in this entry, right! ;)

.

Yesterday we’ve planned to have a simple event for those staff who celebrates their birthday month on February. There are Wiena, Fariza and En Zaki. They also combine with the belated month; my superior (En Hilmey on January) and me myself (November 2010). Heheh.. even though my birthday is already past, but I really appreciated what they have done.

.

We collected RM10 per person so that we can buy the foods and presents. The delicious menus that they chose to have are Nasi Putih, Ayam Penyet, Sambal Sotong, Sambal Udang, Tomato and Timun, Telur Masin, Sambal Belacan and Honey Dew.

.

(Clockwise from left; Sambal sotong, Sambal udang, Ayam penyet, Timun & Tomato and Telur Masin & Sambal belacan)

.

For the nasi putih, we just cooked the rice at the office since Kak Syadila willing to sponsor the rice. She also prepared the Sago Gula Melaka which is very the yummy2 one! And the rest, we just bought at the restaurant nearby.

.

.

.
Oh ya, we also ordered the birthday cake and chocolate from Arafah since she is very talented in making cakes and chocolates. Coming soon, she also will cater macaroons!

.

.
Here is the giving present session for the birthday girl and boy. Boy? Kinda weirdo to call boy for the 30’s and 40’s..hahha.. :P
.

(Barisan yang diraikan: En Hilmey (in blue shirt), En Zaki and Kak Ja)
.

(Termasuk jugak aweQs ni; Wiena with her present and me)

.

(This is my present~~ Tak penah dpt bunga, dpt bunga ni pun dah giler suke!!)

.

(Opps, sila abaikan gmbar weng di atas.. :P)

.

Walaupun majlis ni simple, tp tetap meriah even though bilangan antara kami semakin berkurangan. Kamsahamnida~ ;)

Lunch at Cendana Cafe

Holaa~~
. .

.

Huhu, lately rajin nak update blog. Even though quite busy kat ofis tapi still manage to curi2 masa utk create post and edit entry kat rumah.
.
Okay, this time nak share experience lunch kat Cendana Cafe pulak. Cafe ni sederet dengan Ayam Penyet Jawa dlm previous entry.
.
Nama restoran ni Cendana Café Walla. Ada terbaca sikit kat decoration dia, cendana ni adalah pokok yang berbau wangi dan berwarna kekuningan. Ermm..lagi apa ek..lupa la.. Tp rasanya sebab tu kot owner ni namakan restoran ni Cendana..supaya ia kekal berbau wangi.
.
Four of us; Kak Sofia, Kak Ita, Shikin and me step into the restaurant at 1.30pm. The number of customer at that time quite a lot. We look at the lauk nasi campur, tapi dah tinggal berbaki. So, we decided to order makan panas je la. Char Kuey Tiaw (Kak Pya), Nasi Goreng Kampung (Kak Ita & me) and Kuey Tiaw Hailam (Shikin) and for the drinks; The O Ais Limau (Kak Pya), Sirap Bandung (Kak Ita), Kichai (Shikin & me). We asked what is Kichai? Then the worker explained its combination of Lime and Asam Boi.
.
Nak menunggu makanan sampai, Ya Rabbi punya la lama. Dah habis melilau mata kitorg ni menengok kat seluruh ruang restoran. Pekerja dia quite ramai and maybe family business kot sbbnya rata2 muka sama je (sepesen). Dalam pada duk tgk2 tu, adalah ternampak pelakon iklan Betul2 Ho Liao pun ada makan kat situ. And nampak jugak Ustaz Zawawi Yusoh pun ada!
.
Jam dah pukul 2.00pm, makanan still tak sampai lagi. Dahi masing2 dah berkerut2, mulut masing2 dah membebel sesame sendiri, sampaikan pekerja dia perasan and tanya, “Akak ada pesan makanan apa yer??”
.
Dah buat muka baru la dpt makanan yang dipesan.. :P (Ni tips ni if lain kali nak gi situ!hehe.. :P)
.
Ok, these are the review. For the Nasi Goreng Kampung, not bad.. maybe sbb dah lapar sgt kot.. Char Kuey Tiaw dia pun ok jugak la, ada rasa manis2 udang kat kuah dia.. Tp my friend, Kak Pya kata, kepala udang ada 5, tp badan udang ada 3 je?? Hurmm..sbb tu la terlebih manis kot kuahnya tu..hehe.. but for Shikin punya dishes (Kuey Tiaw Hailam) mmg fail.. Rasa kicap tiram dia terlampau, and kicap pekat tu mcm ada sumthing wrong je. Tak sure la apa yg terlebih atau terkurang. About harga, for my lunch was RM6.30. Then, I thought the cashier wants to give me discount.. Rupa2nya tak..dia tunggu jugak 30sen tu..so, I told him that I just got 10cents. Tak sangka mamat tu amik..isk2… tak boleh berlebih kurang betul..
.
(Clockwise: Char Kuey Tiaw, Nasi Goreng Kampung, Air Kichai and Kuey Tiaw Hailam)
.
Maybe this café will be the 2nd choice to go for having lunch. Amethyst lagi ok kot.. next entry I will try to share with you guys. Bukan apa, harga dia quite ok and boleh berlebih kurang.. tu yg buat more interested to visit there again and again.

Lunch at Ayam Penyet Jawa

Hye~
.
Today during lunch time, the 3 musketeers; Sykin, Shikin and me went to Ayam Penyet Jawa Restaurant, Glomac Business Centre since Sykin saw the promotion ads stated Nasi+Ayam Penyet+Teh O Ais Limau = RM6.90.
.
We do agree with the idea to have lunch there since the location is not too far from our office (about 5-10minutes walking distance). It is near to the Klinik Komuniti Kelana Jaya, immediately in front of Kastam Kelana Jaya and just next to the Restoran Amethyst Nasi Ayam.
.
FYI, this is my 1st time to have Nasi Ayam Penyet so I'm quite excited to try it. We arrive quite early, and as usual the waitress gave us the list of menu. We have a look at the menu (even though we already decided to have set lunch as mentioned above) just to compare the price with others Ayam Penyet restaurant. My friend (Shikin) said, the price for the drinks is quite cheap. Okay, after ordering the food and we add on Sup Sayur Asam as the gravy, they took us about more than 15 minutes to wait. Actually we want to order Sup Bakso, but the waitress said,

..“Tiada..petang baru ada.”
.
Then when we asked for the other gravy, she still repeats the same sentence. (Ingat mamak je yg selalu bagi alasan takde nieh! :P)
.
Actually, there is no heavy traffic of customer at that time. We still waiting..and wait..and wait.. till my friend Sykin grumbled herself,

.
“Isk, lambatnya..kang aku hempuk kang”
.
After she spells the cursed, guess what? The waiter brings out our food but we need to wait for another 10 minutes to have our Sup Sayur Asam.
.
My comment towards the food is the sambal was spicy, the ayam penyet itself not fresh (isinya gebu), the Sup Sayur Asam has a confuse taste (masam+manis..maybe mmg mcm ni kot rasanya. Dahla jagung tu pun dibelah dua), the Teh O Ais Limau was tasteless.
.

.

.This is horrible experience for me for the first timer yang nak rasa Ayam Penyet. Lepas ni, tobat tamau pi dah tempat ni..huhu~~ Oh ya, total for the lunch: RM25.85. It will be first and last we visit here.

.

.
For those yang nak try, boleh la try.. tak rugi pun mencuba, aite!

A Day Before Gong Xi Fa Chai

Gong Xi! Gong Xi!

.

Gong Xi Fa Chai to all Malaysian who celebrate this festive. May this year bring more prosperous and joyful to us!

.
Huhu! Quick update from me! Last Wednesday I went to Sunway Pyramid with my mom and sister. Actually, we’ve planned when my mom having her full body massage at Rokaya, then I will cut my hair at A-Saloon. Unfortunately, the saloon closed early on that day due to CNY celebration. Since my sister and I nothing to do, we decided to lepak at Garden Lifestyle Store and Café.

.

.
This café is located at ground floor, in front of the escalator. To be precisely, it is in between with Pasta de Goman and JCo Donut. Actually there have two different environments. For those who like cozier, then you can choose to sit inside because the decoration inside is like we are in a castle. So luxury and comfy compared to the open air section that more relax. It has such a nice ambiance and the decoration is like we are in garden wedding because there are full with flowers.
We ordered; Longan Blast (me), Orange Juice (my sister) and Mango Blast (my mom). While for the main menu we have Kung Bao Chicken with Shanghai Noodles (me), Barramundi Fish Grill with Mashed Potato (my sis) and Curry Laksa (my mom). Overall, the dishes we had on that day are so-so. The price for me is affordable.
