Penang Trip

Date of visited: 3rd - 4th November 2007

This trip was organized by Sabah and Sarawak Students Society of TARC together with Askar Wataniah. Well, it was my first ever trip since after had been joining Sabah and Sarawak Students Society for almost 4 years. Anyway, most of my hostel friends were joining this trip as well as my 2 best friends, Kai Wee and Liong Sung. I bet it's going to be a very enjoyable trip with them.

We waited the bus in early morning. As usual, I couldn't sleep well if there is any events or activities on the next day. Can consider I was having an insomnia? We waited in front of the hostel guard house around 5.30 am. Quite early right? This was because the bus started at 7am. Gosh!! We reached Penang around in the noon. I damn freaking love the accommodation provided. Staying in the apartment attached with swimming pool. Cool man!


This is the first photo being edited by me. Not really nice but I will not give up.

On the second day, we were being tortured. Our activity was to climb Bukit Bendera. Climb? Yup, climb. But there is a cable car. So funny right? Anyway, it was a good experience. We had been climbing for 4 hours. Hiking inside the forest. It's had been so long I had not hiking since I studied at TARC. During my secondary time, every year I will going to hike with my friends and Girl Guides society. Although it's tired, it's quite fun anyway

Diploma Graduation Trip to Redang Island

Date of visited: 9th - 11th May 2006


Our diploma graduation trip is to Redang Island and I'm pretty excited for it cause I have never been to any islands in West Malaysia. Furthermore, I'm going with a bunch of my best and close friends which we've been together for more than 2 years throughout my life as a diploma student. 


Because all of us are students and since our budget were quite tight, we chosen to take coach from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Terengganu as it is the cheapest mode of transportation. The journey took almost 8 hours and luckily, we took the overnight bus so that we can sleep inside the bus. 


We took the 3 days 2 night package where it includes 2-nights accommodation, meals, return ferry transfer and snorkeling activities. It was packed with fun, laughter and joy especially when you are with the right companion. 


I have to admit that eventhough I came from the state with countless of islands, this is the first time I went snorkelling. What a shame, right? Although I was scared and nervous, but I quite enjoyed it at the end of the trip. I won't forget the moment I saw a huge and long eel swim underneath me in the marine park conservation. 

When we're young, wild and crazy
