We're the Cicak Man!

After presenting my proposal and a few negotiations with Camp 5 , they've finally agreed to sponsor my fund-raising project by subsidizing me 30% of the total fees collected! With the helps from friends and new friends that I've made through the climb, it was a successful activity which attended by 32 people! And also not forgetting those who came and gave their moral supports. =)

It was one-hour climb where we experienced 3 types of walls with different heights and challenges. Seriously, organizing this climb was really a big challenge to me as I have acrophobia. But I really want to do this, to overcome it! OK. This picture below was the warm up wall we had. It might look easy like that-not very high. But i personally think this was crazy and the worst! Because they didn't have any safety thingy tied up to you and if you fall, you fall! So no matter what you have to hold yourself there until you got to the top.

The second climb was higher but not as tough and stressed as it had us all tied up nicely and secured well. You know you're safe with those. It was a 8m castle wall. We all looked terribly ugly when we climbed especially to those who were watching us from below. Nah, nobody climbs gracefully anyway!

And this was the autobelay wall, 12meter. It took like forever to reach the top! and for my climb I used the autobelay device which I kinda like it! But not the part where I have to descent from the top on my own; meaning to you have to do a FREE FALL from 12m. Imagine that! How could they do this to me, an acrophobia poor girl! I literally took more than 10min to convince myself to let go and the whole centre could hear me yelling all the way down!

It all ended too fast and too long. For each climb it seemed ages but one hour passed in a blink. It was indeed a very challenging game and I think I fall in love with wall climbing now. I will go back there again and get myself properly trained up and get rid of the damn height problem.

I just love the day we climbed and everyone enjoyed themselves alot. It was a big success I would say! And I wouldn't have done this without the helps and participation from all of them. I'm so blessed and thankful =)

Graduation Trip!

Choosing from Taiwan to Bangkok, then to Bali, and finally we decided to take on KRABI! It was one of my dream island to go and yeah I've made it there! It was indeed an amazing place, a paradise! The trip was perfect with this bunch of crazy fellas i have =)

I found this very nice hotel - Aree Tara from random forum and it was definitely worth the stay and it was at very reasonable price too. With the amazing open balcony we could literally jump into the pool from it! But,the main attraction me choosing this hotel was the super super cute towel-made-elephant! When I first saw it from the pictures I was in love with it and Iwant to stay there already! The hotel staffs were so friendly and you just feel like home with them.

Look at the place! It was so incredibly beautiful with greenish sea, mountains, rocks and the blue sky. It totally worth all the sun burnt and everything in exchange of these scenic pictures. And it was strongly recommended, personally, that one should really take up the kayak package into the mangroves and caves. It might be exhausting kayaking the whole day, but it definitely pay off with the breathtaking scenery that awaits you! We were all so astonished and amazed by carvings in the caves and the massive mountains and rocks around us.

Another wonderful experience would be dining at the top of the hill while enjoying the lovely sunset and amazing dinner at this place called i-forget-what-was-the-name. It has the most beautiful panorama view of the beach stretch.

The night market was a must-go too! I spent so much on food and I don't care if I put on weight for this. The BBQ egg, bamboo fruit juice, shaved coconut, pork intestines, seafood and many others. We even bought some back to the hotel, just cant stop eating!

We went to Maya Bay where the movie The Beach by Leonardo Di Caprio was shot here. It has become such a tourist attraction but tourists are not allowed to stay overnight there so that to protect and conserve the beauty of the beach.

This 4 days and 3 nights trip was an unforgettable one where we did so many silly and funny things. I'm sure that we would still laugh about it after many years =) And this graduation trip marked the end of our 3 years of university life. Hope we all stay in touch always!
