first of all- HAPPY MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL!!!
this is one of the best mooncakes around ...haha.....i love jelly!!! woo hoo!!! i haven't been eating much mooncake this year. i did not even eat any of the traditional ones...not even a bite. i had these two jelly mooncakes....and i also had snow skin- tiramisu truffle mooncake. both are given by kid and a parent. how nice right? it was my first time trying modern filling in mooncake and the tiramisu truffle that i got was a really nice one. it was not sweet at all and the chocolate and cheese blended well. yummy indeed.
well, there will be no celebration for me....it will be a normal night.
last week had been an adventurous one. imagine going into the jungle twice!! two different jungles and i got to ride some smashing vehicles as well.
first one was this beast.....man, ain't it sexy!! it is a new land rover and i felt so safe in it. i even got a test of how hard the metal in the rover was when my head made a loud bang onto the metal. ouch!!! it was a really bumpy ride but the driver was skilful and the safety belt kept me in my seat fine, so i really enjoyed the ride.
passed by an area which had been cleared in the interior.
any idea what this plant is? it is paddy actually...the hill species. in malay, it is padi huma.
you can see more of them in the photo above.
how can one go into the jungle and not cross a river??? there is no bridge for the jeep, hence it was right across the river we went.
and another river to pass....we actually crossed three rivers in this trip.
well, in the second trip, there was a change of vehicle. i was actually looking forward to another great ride in the land rover....but oh boy, it was a total nightmare this time.
i was in the mitsubishi on the right and the air-conditioner was not working and there weren't any safety belt for the passengers at the back. uwaa!!!! it was so so so stuffy.
imagine having to travel on dirt road for more about 2 hour in a jeep whose air-cond was not functioning. the dirt road on this photo is a smoother path, there were other bumpy and steep paths which i couldnt take using the phone because my body and hand would be shaking too much.
passed by an area being cleared for rubber plantation. this destination which we went to is actually very near pahang already. according to the aborigine kids, two hours of walk will bring them to pahang, somewhere around raub area. i guess i was quite near its border already. just two more hills to go to reach the neighbouring state.
this was the village.
and our final destination. boy, it was such a serene and calm place. definitely a paradise. even the temperature here was lower and when the wind blew, it was actually quite chilly. the coldest temperature recorded here was 11 degree Celcius at night. brrrrrr.......
there are plans to spend a night here next year, well, that winter jacket is definitely coming with me.
and how lucky we were.....we got durians!!!! oh, this was oh so good. the musang king of the jungle. the others were too worried about their sugar level, hence i had the biggest share of the durian. haha...burp!!! many photos of me eating durian were taken too....i guess it was a proof to show that they did treat the guests well and my eating the durian with a big smile on the face is the proof to show their boss.
aaahh....and the river.....we did not have to go across this on the jeep because there is a bridge. we stopped by here on our way back and the drivers had their picnic here. we only wet our feet and enjoyed the beautiful nature in front of us. oh, the water was as cool as cucumber.
the bumpy ride helped loosen some tight knots on my back...haha....and it was indeed a welcome.
i guess this is the last adventure for the year...and i look forward to these trips again next year.
on to another story.....the love for rainbow loom bracelet is still very much alive in me....i simply love making them!! i am so happy that i can find original bands supplier here in malaysia now. no to pirated bands...only the original ones for me due to their long lasting quality.
which is your favourite bracelet???
i have been getting a few requests to make bows too....aren't they cute???
and some requests to make new designs i have never tried before....oh boy....thank god i have patience to watch through the steps in the video.
well, i am keeping my fingers crossed for a good start to the week. it is going to be quite a busy one and then a wedding banquet of a close friend to look forward to. it will be gathering with old friends again to reminisce old time on saturday night when we get together. but before saturday comes, lets hope i have some time for a full body massage to loosen the knots in the neck.
