二月一日了

穿梭宇宙的太空船，在永无止境的黑暗中伸出手，盲目的追寻着前方的某些东西，直到失去了知觉…

Hiking @ Bukit Tabor 四人行，大波山~

Bukit Tabor, a.k.a Crystal Hill, a.k.a Klang Gates Dam. It is located at the north of Kuala Lumpur (coordinate 3°14′1.75″N, 101°44′56.36″E).

Recently, I was searching ways to get out of the daily routine in the busy city to refresh my mind and body. And the best way to do so is to return to the mother nature. Last week after doing some research on the internet, I gathered another 3 companions to join me for the hiking trip to Bukit Tabur. I know that this trek will be a bit challenging for beginners, and lots of accidents happened there, but as long as we are careful on each step we take, we are safe. Thus, as little experience as we have on the trek, we started our journey at around 7.30am and reached the entrance at around 8am.

When we parked our car, only we noticed that we were stop at the wrong location, it was meant for the trekkers to go to Bukit Tabur East. And we were planing to hike Bukit Tabur West.

After crossing a small stream, we were well backed on tracked.

We encountered small problem as soon as we were on the way to the hill, one of our companions felt uneasy and dizzy. It took us some time to get him recovered and we were all good to continue our journey.

This is the first view on the reservoir at the north side of the hill.

The trek was getting more challenging where hands are required to climb up the hill.

To the south is the view of Kuala Lumpur.

The view to the east of Bukit Tabur.

The trek is moderate challenging for beginners. All you need to remember is always have “3 points of contact” while climbing up or down the hill. (either 2 hands and a foot, or 2 feet and a hand that keep contacted on the rocks) This is the safest method to maneuver across the challenging hills.

Regret to say that we actually didn’t manage to finish the trek as the heat was too hot for us to continue as the rocky trek exposed directly to the sun. According to the trekkers, there are 12 hills in total on the trek, and we back tracked when we reached the 8th hill.

Nevertheless, it was an awesome experience for the 1st attempt on hiking Bukit Tabur. I will be back to complete it very soon.

Yiwu, City of “Made in China” -义乌

1st day of my trip in China, I was in YiWu, I was told that there is a shopping mall was as big as combined of few football fields. I don’t really feel it until i was in there. It was huuuuuuge. It is called the 义乌国际商贸城 YiWu International Trade City (ITC), mostly deal with whole sale market business.


To let you know how big is the ITC, the picture above is one of the 5 main segments in the ITC, and there are 5 buildings connected together in this section. In the my 2days trip in Yiwu, I only managed to cover half of the buildings in this segment. Get the idea? I didn’t even able to step foot on the other 4 segments in ITC.


Shops are divided by sections depends on type of products. This is the toys section. The shops are surprisingly small in there, and lots of them are selling similar stuff.


There are a floor dedicated for electronics.


Female accessories (yes, whole floor)


Artificial Foliage


Fake buns, it smells like, looks like, feels like real bun.


Fake fruits


Small blackboard for kids.


“Ostrich”


Chinese New Year decorations


Human-size stuff toys.


Light bulbs


Heavy duty equipments

There are more like, car radio, car dvd players, CCTV, Jade, Solar panel, power generator, battery, street lights, hand phones, kites, furnitures and others. I didn’t manage to walk to another few blocks, so i don’t know what else do they sell.

No wonder everything in made in china, because everything under the sun can be found here! In this very city, Yiwu. Amazing! I would like to visit here again, lots of business opportunities here :-)

尼特族

“尼特族是NEET在台湾的译音，NEET的全称是（Not currently engaged in Education, Employment or Training），是指一些不读书、不就业、不进修或参加就业辅导，终日无所事事的“族群”。”

死了，我好像有些倾向于这类型的族群。

“NEET is an acronym for the government classification for people currently “Not in Employment, Education or Training“. It was first used in theUnited Kingdom but its use has spread to other countries, including Japan, China, and South Korea.

Japan, the classification comprises people aged between 15 and 34 who are unemployed, unmarried, not enrolled in school or engaged in housework, and not seeking work or the technical training needed for work. The “NEET group” is not a uniform set of individuals but consists of those who will be NEET for a short time while essentially testing out a variety of opportunities and those who have major and often multiple issues and are at long term risk of remaining disengaged.”

Shitz, am I leaning to this type of trend!!?

I did it again, Singapore Marathon 2009.

I just back from Singapore yesterday evening. This trip marks another personal achievement of successfully completed my 1st half marathon. After experiencing the painful 7 hours full marathon run in Kuala Lumpur last June, I was seriously doubt on my ability to be able to complete it again. Thus, I chose to run 21km half marathon this time, and I completed the run.

Marathon is the race of yourself. The biggest challenge and the worst enemy is not the distance nor the time, but yourself. It is the matter of how much you want to complete the race of yourself. Running marathon is like living a life, you run for a purpose, you run because you want to achieve something in your life. No matter how tough it was, you moved on, you keep on track until you reached the finishing line. Giving up is not an option. At least, it is not in my dictionary. People asked why would you want to suffer yourself by participating marathon, my answer is, because I want to achieve something in my life.

My race result:

NAME: CHAI WOON SHONG
EVENT: Half Marathon
DATE: December 6th, 2009
BIB/DIV: 43367 / M2024
TIME: 3h:3m:48s (gun) / 3h:1m:54s (net)

Special thanks to Yin, and Khai that I was able to complete the run together in Singapore.
