Things I discovered the morning of my bday

1. Decided to start of my birthday the healthy way so followed my mom’s neighbour to FRIM (Forest Research Institute Malaysia). Now I finally know the location. Apparently it is THE place to exercise for a lot of people. In fact, there was a queue to enter the car park. At 8am in the morning!

2. Fresh air!
I’d forgotten how it taste like.. it taste like.. really fresh air! Hehehe.. ok ok.. I mean, it’s easy to forget especially for city folks like us who breathes polluted air everyday. And it was so cooling it was fantastic

3. My mom’s neighbour drives like a maniac.

In fact, she drives like a I-own-the-road-and-can-do-whatever-I-like kinda maniac. She drives her car like a boat. Yup, as in accelerate, break, accelerate, break, left, right, left, right.. just like riding a swell during a storm at sea I would imagine. Aaand.. she definitely should take lessons on how to use her indicator lights correctly. I mean, correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think one should leave the lights blinking forever before you change lanes (since I was following her car, I can still see the *blink blink blink* after I close my eyes) or only flick it on when one is halfway through changing lanes, right? Like when you’re already straddling the line… =.=’

4. I can climb a mountain.

Ok ok.. so it’s not exactly a mountain but it sure felt like one to me! My legs are still aching too.. after 2 days!

5. I looked like crap and smelled really not so great on my bday..

coz I ended up sweating like a pig with strands of wet hair hanging in my eyes. And there were so many cute looking guys there too! Especially those in tight Speedos cycling with buns of steel. Well, at least I had some eye candy :)

6. A bunch of aunties can walk and climb faster than me.

We’re talking about housewives who are at least 10 years older than me or more. And they actually did climb the “mountain” while I was just piddling around like 15 steps up photographing mushrooms…

7. I almost had a heart attack.

When I’m behind a camera I’m totally unaware of my surroundings. An uncle actually came right up to me behind my back and gave me a shock when he ask “so did you get what you want?” I never knew that mushrooms can be so dangerously absorbing...

..and I dunno what this is so I call it the mini-boobies.. <*grin>

8. Waterfalls, even small ones are like natural airconditioning.

Just make sure one chooses a spot high up if one wants to play in the water. Otherwise you might be washing your hands in water that someone up there's been washing their feet in..

9. I met a cutie pie. Check him out below…
Ok, it might not necessarily be a “him” but hey, it was my birthday so if I say it’s a him then I’m entitled to my opinion, right? After all, one is always right on one’s bday. :p

10. When one's been climbing "mountains" (yes, I'm still saying that it's a mountain, so bite me! :p ), one can eat 4 slices of pizza for lunch. Note to self, no more pizza after next session.

11. Climbing mountains are really conducive to sleeping.

I slept like a log that night. No dreams, no midnight pee-ing.. just sleeping like a baby.. it was the most restful sleep I had that week.

12. Discovered that the word stamina no longer exist in my dictionary..

coz I was completely pooped out after my morning of exertion and then 4 slices of pizza for lunch it was pathetic..

13. I'm definitely going back there again.. :)
