Conquering Laksamana Hill

It would considered the toughest and longest jungle trail in Penang.
I made it!
1hr40mins hike up.
2 hrs hike down.

I was drenched wet for 3 hours under the thunderstorm. (without coverage)
It was not easy trailing down with the stream of water splashing on my feet.
My poor Reebok.
It's gone.

I brought nothing to the hike and now I know the essential
1) Extra change in the car
2) plastic bag to cover the stuff in the bag
3) poncho
4) whistle if we are trailing alone at some point
5) Chocolate bars or eggs to stay ALIVE
6) Water (i had rainwater)
7) STAMINA -> The greatest thing we should prepare!

I think I would have caught a flu hiking in the jungle while in a thunderstorm, if not pneumonia :P

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

Monday Movie Day - Mamma Mia

Finally, after being a nuffnanger for 3 months, I was invited for a free movie at GSC Gurney. Thanks, nuffnang. Again and again. Free movie for 3. Thanks. :D The blogger community was exceptionally quiet compared to the usual cinema crowd. Perhaps, maybe, they only TALK in their blog. I dont' know. Even as we were watching a few minutes of the silent movie, there were not a single 'hoo-ing' or banana-throwing at the screens. I was looking hard to see if I know anyone. I guess it's just 5xmom with her anti-ISA tshirt. Hm.. Somewhat, after watching the movie, I felt that it was just morally so wrong. Am I too rational? 1. How can one has 3 fathers? Shouldn't they do a DNA check first? 2. Does that mean it's alright sleeping with 3 men one after another and get pregnant and raise the child in an island? 3. It seemed ok for the daughter to just call off the wedding. 4. And, the pastor actually solemnized their wedding just like that? They don't even need to att...
