famine & kuantan

22nd - 23rd Aug '09
30 hour famine

It was one great weekend where I starved with 7,000 other campers of the famine
That would be my longest starvation in 21 years
I successfully starved for 30 hours
That's 1 day and 6 hours
So proud of myself *wakaka*

However, I guess the meaning to this famine is beyond the starvation
I've learned much about the other side of the world
Where people dun consume McD like we do,
Where people dun study in a fully faciliated institution,
Where people dun even get to watch 'Heroes'
Where people dun even go for grocery shopping
Where people gets poorer by the day
Where survival is a major issue

During the countdown event in Stadium Putra Bkt Jalil
Where we endure our last 6 hours of famine
Tears keep rolling down my cheeks
As the advocates and the artist motivates and thank us for courage
I know I might be too emotional
But I feel that it is such a rare occasion
Where thousands of people gather together
To contribute one small bit of their energy and make a big difference

A very contenting weekend I would say
Hopefully I would be able to join again in future years
Btw, check this video out on youtube and u will see what I mean

29th - 31st Aug '09
Kuantan trip with cartoonz

Our last trip with KC before she leaves for Scotland
To further her studies
She will be gone for 4 - 5 years
*Sob* =(

As usual trips with cartoonz are fun-filled and crazy oriented
Not forgetting our SK's yummylicious tuna sandwich
Also, we came up wit a new tagline for SK: 'anytime, anywhere, anyhow'
So I am not the only one with a tagline ok? - (rihanna of the night) *winks*
The 'hot' topic of this trip is kinda obscene, thus it's *censored*
Enough of our crazy hot topics and taglines

Back to Kuantan..
Our prior destinations are of course the beaches
Firstly, we went to Teluk Chempedak
Oh, so much more cleaner than the beaches in PD
And they have a tropical McD there, nice!
Imagine having a McD sundae or Mcflurry at the beach
Ooops!* something missing*..no cute guys la! LOL
Straying too far..come back!*slap face*

Ok, Teluk Chempedak
Besides being clean, the coastline is really long too
And small lil crabs, so afraid I would step on any of them
Scenery not bad, took alot of photos there
Writing on the beach din work out here, so postponed to Cherating beach
We din do kite flying or cycling coz we were too occupied with camwhoring

Next day, we went to Cherating beach
Finally, I stepped my foot onto the land of Terengganu
Happy coz I've never been to the east coast and I've always wanted to
The beach is really nice
Walked along the coastline and collected seashells
Meanwhile the rest was busy with sandcastle
Jumping into the sea, acting like they were gonna commit suicide
Writing on the beach, finally getting our trademark somewhere haha
Then, went hunting for keropok lekor in the ramadhan bazaars on the way home
At the end of the day only managed to get rm2 keropok
The day ended with G.I.Joe and supper from McD and KFC

We headed back on mon morning to avoid traffic
Reached home in the afternoon
*end*

Too bad I dun have the photos yet
So I could only describe them to u
Chao!
