Excitement

22 Days, 18 Hours more to what would be the most exciting holiday for me this year. Well I haven't had any holiday this year, have I? So considering that fact, Bangkok would be my most exciting holiday eventhough people keep asking me "why bangkok". I think for me, any place on a holiday will be a good place. Any place with good friends and fun company will be a good place :) Any place with great cheap shopping is DEFINITELY a great place.

So here I sit in my boring office cubicle enjoying my lunch break, thinking why is life so unexciting sometimes. And I came up with my list of 10 most exciting things that happened to me. I made sure too that this list had nothing to do with love or guys or guys-love or jerks-love or idiot bastard- love. Hehe...u get what I'm trying to get at soon :D

Here goes ...in no particular order :
1) Climbing up a water reservoir in Wangsa Maju in the middle of the night. When u get right up to there, you can hear the water gushing really loudly below, and you can feel the wind swirling around you. Imagine loud water sound, wind howling, pitch darkness and a hole you can drop through into the water. Errm, definitely not something I would wanna be doing now at my old age!!!

2) Waiting in line outside Sunway Lagoon for Malaysia's first bungee Jumping. Can't even recall the time, but it was definitely at some odd early morning hour..maybe 12am we queued till 5 or 6 am. Only to be told it's been cancelled!!! Bugger, ok it wasn't exciting, but the thought of doing bungee jumping was exciting, and it was good fun just lining up with my bunch of friends.

3) Running around the mountain and valley of Gotthard Pass in Switzerland/Italy with Paul and Soon Peng. Gosh I never felt such peacefulness and joy! It was just like being in a scene of Sound of Music. The excitement was seeing all those big bikers racing down the mountains, and just sitting on the grass munching on our apples, and having some kungfu fight with Paul.Darn, I miss it *sob*

4) Going cave crawling in the Dark Cave in Batu Caves. Wooa man, it was darn exciting being surrounded by a wall of cave cockroaches. I could have swore my legs were like jelly as I walked through that section. Even more exciting was crawling on my tummy through a really small hole in the cave, and my body all engulfed in wet guano. Eeww..natural facial. Smelt good too :-p
*warning: do not attempt if waist diameter above 30 cm *

5) Riding on a bike all the way from Setapak to a disco in Sunway called HEAVEN. I never been allowed to ride a bike, and man, riding on one for such a long distance was just too much. By the time I reach there I was shivering cold, and my bum just totally numb! And then my friends tried to revive me by feeding me something called 'Flaming Lamborgini'. Heck, nothing flaming about it except for the smoke coming out of my ears after that :D

6) Entering an Orang utan sanctuary in Kota Kinabalu. Those creatures must be the cutest most adorable animals ever, and they are sooooo human-like. But I had this bad memory of reading about how an Orang Utan raped a woman, and got her pregnant. So naturally I was a bit jumpy when I came across some of those "manly" looking orang-utans...keke..But honestly, I do think they are cuter than some men we see in town :-p

7) Being "flased" by a pervert while walking back from primary school. U know u always hear about flashers, but u never expect to see one. And this bugger was hiding behind some banana trees. And the most idiotic thing of all was the fact I was only probably about 8 or 9 years old, and being innoccent little angel, I had no idea what a "bird" was. Now I whack myself for not having gone closer to check out what it actually looked like. Hohoho..hahaha...must have been too small till it did not stick in my memory at all! Pooooooooor little guy..

8) Working in a liquor warehouse while awaiting for my SPM results. I was a data entry clerk in the warehouse, but it was a pretty small warehouse and all of us got on really well and had loads of fun. First time I got to ride around on a forklift, or do stock counting. So it seems my interest in logistic started when I was young, so no wonder I grew up now to become one of the most successful logistic consultant in Malaysia, and some say Singapore. **OK, let me blow trumpet a bit can or not!!** Anyway what was so exciting about this warehouse was the fact it was filled with alcohol and I learnt all about my alcohol and liquor and Malaysian Duty Not Paid from there :D

9) Discovering an ancient dinousaur footprint in Korea. Ok it just looked like some hole in the rock, but I finally believed it was the curse of the dinosaur when I stepped into on of those "footprints" and slipped and fell tumbling into the cold river. Got my shin hurt and bleeding, and then I could declare I had a dinosaur "footprint" on my shin.

10) Doing a tarzan act with my bro and cousins in our old house. Our house used to be higher than our neighbours, and so happened the fence was kinda drooping down into their compound. Our neighbour had some coconut trees planted just next to our compound, and we just loveeeed hanging onto these leaves, and swinging ourselves into their compound. But finally had to stop that when one day I landed on the fence instead of the ground. Ouch...stupid fence poked into my beautiful smooth backside and I landed up getting a jab, and nice LONG LONG scolding from my folks. Hey, I am TARZAN ok..I'm supposed to be able to pass that darn fence!

Ok...took me longer than i thought I would need...now was pass my working time. Boss, I'm sorry. I will work extra hard, and put in 2 more hours OT today. Cheers :D
