Ikea!

Went to Malaysia, last Friday and came back on Sunday. No big hooha about the holiday, was nothing special. It was some culture exchange holiday organize by the community center, where ministry of foreign affair and some mayor. Imagine 322 people traveling together, its terrible ah!

This is some group photo taking at some place, its so big that, so of the people cant even fit into the picture. And i am one of them. =(

Dont really wanna talk about the trip, its pretty boring actually.




About the puppy again! We thought of a name already. We called her IKEA! It might shows weird at first, but its quite a nice name, very feminine. She coming to 2 months old. Very very smart girl, so naughty but yet so adorable. Ikea, grow up leh! Wanna bring u out!

Hahahahah! Look how cute she looks? She is sleeping leh, with the eyes half open and tongue sticking out! Awww!!

Puppies, trekking

Well, have uploaded the photos.


As you can see, our jungle trekking is pretty jungly. This is not what u imagine right?
We took about 6 hours to trek 1km in the jungle, and thats equivalent to taking 3 mins for 1meter. Imagine how bad is that. I got rather depressed about awhile. Because it seems forever to finish the whole trail.
We were supposed to play the geocaching game again, this time round is to locate a Japanese Shinto Shrine deep inside the jungle. The shrine had been used by the Japanese to keep those spirits of dead Japaneses soldiers in the WW2 . And it is believed to be highly haunted.
We didnt even managed to reach that part, as the whole journey in and out is about 2km. But by the time we went in and trekked about 500m, its already 4pm, didn't want to risk getting stuck there at night. Its not funny at all.
However, overall experience was very very excited, though the 4 of us smelled terribly after that. Heh. I will definitely want to do it again. The same geocache hopefully with the same people.





And ya, taking about the puppy. We brought it down to the vet ytd and wanted to get its first vaccination jab, but the vet was saying she doesn't look happy enough and she looks pretty stressed. But its normal, she have just being separated by her mom and siblings. So we can only do the jab a few days later after she have settle down a bit more.

She is so adorable and lovable. And she sleeps alot la! Sleep for 2 hours, wake up,play for 10-20 mins and sleep again. Haiyo. Puppies ah! Have to eat 4 meals a day okay? And she whines alot, think because she is afraid.

Aint she cute? Don't you all love her now? She is a damn smart girl. She is only about 6 weeks plus, and she understand 'NO', 'COME'(a little) and knows how to pee on the newspaper. Although once in a while, on the floor. But she is a intelligent baby, cant wait for her to grow up.

Updates

Went for a little hike with baby and his friends the day before. And when I say hike, it means deep into the jungle. I am not shitting you, I am serious. Deep deep in when handphone reception can be lost and there are thorns pricking you, muddly ground, decompose leaves, giant ants, and you have to climb over falling tree trunks. Its exciting, but tiring and very demoralising.

Will update again with more info and more pictures. Using baby's computer now, and i dont seems to be able to bluetooth the photos.

And oh ya, I bought baby a little Parson Jack Russell Terrier yesterday! Its only about 7 weeks old! Super tiny super cute! I love it to bits man.

Will upload the photos soon!!

Geocaching

Me and Baby played Geocaching yesterday.


Those who didnt know whats geocaching. Read the following carefully:

Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and "treasure," usually toys or trinkets of little value. Today, well over 800,000 geocaches are registered on various websites devoted to the pastime. Geocaches are currently placed in over 100 countries around the world and on all seven continents, including Antarctica.


If you still dont understand, its is bascially a little treasure hunting game, where you get the latitude and altitude of a particular spot in singapore, and following the instructions given, you will be able to find the location of the cache(treasure). Finding the place of the cache is easy but not spotting the item. Currently in Singaproe, there are about 100 plus caches. And we did our very first one yesterday, and I am proud to say we successfully completed it.




(Baby wrote this on the caching's site to share our experience for that particular cache)
This is my very first cache, and I must say it was hell of an exciting experience.

Without any intructions, I guess I got off to a false start. Me and my girlfriend ended up at Lower Pierce Reservoir as we thought it was nearer to the cache, but as it turned out, we were on the other side of the reservoir. Still feeling all pumped up, we took a VERY long walk to Upper Pierce Reservoir through Old Upper Thomson Road.

With the GPSr as our guide, we were simply just following the arrow as it led us nearer to the cache. Kinda silly we didn't download the instructions, as at one point, we had to cut into a golf course, and thinking back, I think we kinda trespassed into private property. But hey, we were just following the arrow and noone stopped us.

After awhile, we managed to find a trail that led us towards the direction of the cache, and soon we began walking in the woods. After like 30 minutes, we managed to get to the cache site, and we started looking for anything metal.

We didn't know where exactly it was, and after awhile, I decided I should read some of the logs, and before long, I realized where it might be. Doesn't really help though, as we spent like a good 45 minutes searching for it. But as we were about to give up, I went back down again, and with the help of a light, I saw the cache! It was so damn well camouflaged man, and for awhile I thought maybe the cache didn't exist anymore. I didn't have a pen with me, and I had to use my girlfriend's concealer to scribble my entry onto a piece of scrap paper.

Its been like a year since the last log, and I'm happy to report that the cache is still very much alive. The log is full, however, and very damp. Overall, for my first cache experience, this has been a very fulfilling and enjoyable experience.


The whole journey took about 4 hours, its was really tiring but really fun too.

The monkeys we saw at lower pierce reservoir. Its a monkey city ah!


We followed the trail and realize that it led us to nowhere, the cache is on the other side of the reservoir, and we cannot possible swim across we we can only walk one big round over. We walked out of lower pierce and walked to upper pierce reservoir.


The road to upper pierce reservoir was really tiring, lots of up slope and down slope. I literally had to struggle to move my legs. We reached a point where we didn't know are we even allowed to cross. That is a golf course. We did not really bother much about that and we went ahead. (PS:Only after we found the cache and when leaving the place, we realize that we had trespass some private property, the gold course belongs to this Singapore Island Country Club. Luckily, no one cases us out.)



After the golf course, we found this little trail which led us into the woods. I did not even know such places existed. Then, we managed to find our way deep inside for the treasure.



We spend a old 45 mins looking for it, and baby managed to find it. We took the coin the previous person left and replace it with a little keychain.


I forgot to bring a pen with me and we need to leave a msg in the little container. Had no choice but to use my concealer. Hahahaha! Thats pretty funny.


Managed to leave the place before 6pm, you don't wanna get stuck there a night. There is no light at all and I think its pretty creepy too. Now I understand, why this cache is called 'A Walk In The Woods'

The next one we are going to do next Saturday is called 'Yamashita Gold' And the exciting part is that the place is haunted! People who did the cache before says that you might encounter some venomous snakes and they suggested bringing a parang so that you can easily clear your path when in the woods. Tracking shoes are highly recommended. Woo!
