EIG Ohh EIG Ohh RM50ku.

Just recently, KL was announced to be included in the Thaipusam holiday which falls on the 23rd of January 2008, tomorrow! Woots!

Ho-ho-holiday! LOL. However I've got tonnes of work to do.
Mostly work that I had to postpone due to the Engineering Interactive Gathering I had to attend last weekend. Yeahh, about that, it was fun! Yet, really tiring. The Engineering Interactive Gathering (EIG) is basically an annual gathering organised under the collaboration of UM & IEM for working engineers & engineering students from various universities to share their experiences & exchange ideas on stuff dealing with engineering. Not jus engineering, basically anything, it's just a way of letting engineers create bonds among one another.

This year it was held at PD World Marina Resort in Port Dickson. Universities that participated include USM, UMP, Uniten, UTM, UTHM, University of Nottingham, etc. It was actually the first time I ever participated in EIG. I was initially invited by my classmate, who's the Director of the project to become one of the commitee members, and I was assigned to be Head of the Technical department (in record). But the work I did throughout the whole project had nothing to do with technical stuff. LOL. Everything was basically already planned out when I was invited to join them. So all I had to do was follow orders and help with whatever they needed help in. But I was okay with it. I actually like helping out with stuff like that.
Most of the commitee members had already participated in last year's EIG, so I assumed they knew what they were doing, especially when it came to the preparation of the food and the booking of the speakers for the talks.

So Saturday morning, 7.30am, my mom sent me to 12th College where the bus was to depart. We packed about 100 plus packs of fried rice and fried beehun for the participants' lunch later on in pd. From UM, we had about 15 commitee members including myself and about 5 participants (3 first year foreign students from Yemen). The foreign students were actually my tele juniors, and I had met them a week before the programme. Really nice & decent guys. They were pretty excited about it as they were going to be able to mingle around with students from other universities. I was really excited myself. I like meeting new people & expanding my social network.
I like taking opportunities like this to improve the first impression people usually get from me. Coz people who meet me for the first time usually think I'm shy and quiet and all.

Anyway, my favourite part of the programme was during the ice-breaking session. I was actually one of the facillitators. It was kinda funny for me because all my team members were 3rd year students and I was the only 2nd year. But it was a great experience. It was also my first time as a faci. I was pretty nervous at first, thinking too much about the age difference, but it got a lot easier as I gradually made friends with them. I think my team was the most havoc (from my observation la), as I got all the loud participants. LOL. I had to get them to come up with a team name and team cheer. LOLOLOLOL!! Our cheer was a simple 2-line cheer, yet hillarious! We were called 'BluePrints' as the participants in my team all had blue name tags. We were laughed at but also applauded and cheered when we performed our cheer coz we made a few mistakes which made the whole performance a lil comic-like.
I guess that was like a cherry on the top for us...

OMG, I'm so lazy to type. When I start yapping about stuff, I tend to ellaborate a lot, like A LOT. This is just like, a quarter of what I wanted to share on here. Now, it's already late and I have work to do. I guess I'll continue with this when I have the time and will.LOL. Or maybe not.LOLOL. We'll see. Cia0!

P/s : If you noticed a few skips in my EIG story, it's kinda unavoidable, I just lost RM50 due to my suffercation of short-term memory loss in verifying my subjects. Sigh. Something seems to be wrong, just wrooonng with me these days. My brain has been a lil slow due to the mourn of the loss. Now even my english is not right. LOL. Till then. Muahx.

My First Pass Out

I kinda miss typing, and since I haven't started getting all busy with assignments yet, I thought I'd break it down! Uh-huh uh-huh.

LOL, Fadi & I went for a walk at Bukit Gasing today. I guess u can say it was something like jungle tracking. I've been living at Jalan Gasing almost all my life, but this was the first time I ever stepped foot on the trails of Bukit Gasing.

Just last week, my mom was telling me about how tiring her friends were when they explored Bukit Gasing.One of her friends almost passed out when she reached the top. LOL, in my mind I was like, "Maybe it's because of her age or something, or maybe she wasn't fit enough". Bukit Gasing has a lot of different trails in and out of the jungle, so it depends on how far you're willing or able to go, to choose. It never crossed my mind that I would experience what my mom's friend did. I actually thought I was fit enough for it, because of my weekly workouts. WRONG!!!!

So, today morning, around 8am, Fadi and her sister Halima picked me up and we went together with Halima's friend Syazana. Halima and Syazana had been there before, so they lead us throughout the whole walk. When we first went in the entrance, I was still fine, it was like a walk in the park,just that the ground was a lil muddy & slippery because it rained last night. But later on, the hills started getting pretty steep. Like climbing the stairs, it got pretty tiring. I was still okay with that. We made a few stops just to get ourselves together, like an energy refill. LOL, I totally made up that line.

Anyway, as we continued our way up, I got really, like REALLY tired, to the point where I couldn't breathe, and everything seemed all cloudy. I also realised that we'd already reached the top, where they had a watch tower and a few benches. Knowing that we're not suppose to sit when we're all dizzy & tired, I headed straight to the bench & sat. I just couldn't stand it anymore, I felt like, if I stayed standing, I would've fallen back and tumble down the hills. Being able to sit, I was hoping that I could restore all the energy I had over-used in making my way up. Halima & Fadi kept asking me if I was okay, and me, being the 'too good' girl I am, just kept saying "Yeahh I'm fine". LOL.

I felt like crying when I was sitting, because my whole body was feeling really uncomfortable. Kinda indescribable (lol, did I spell that right?). I was having mix-emotions at the time, I couldn't breathe, and everything started getting really dark from my view. For a few minutes there (actually, I'm not sure how long), I was like dreaming about stuff, I can't even remember what. When I woke up from the dreams I was having, I realised I was still sitting at that same place at the top of Bukit Gasing. Halima was next to me, rubbing my back and asking me if I was ok, LOL. And infront of me, were like a bunch of strangers crowding to see me. Hahahaha.I had come to find that I passed out, I fainted! I felt so bloody embarrassed. They were like advising me and stuff.Hahaha.

At first, I was still a lil unconcious, but when I realised everyone was looking at me, I smiled and said, "I didn't even realise I passed out!". My lame attempt at covering up, kekeke. Fadi was kinda giggling at the sides like she always does. Eventhough she tried hiding, I could hear her. Idiot. LOL.


Thank God we were at the top, so the whole way back was going downhill, and much more relaxing. As I've mentioned, the ground was muddy & slippery, YES, I fell twice and got the funkiest back chop award. I feel like I should go there often, so I could get used to it. That was my first time ever experiencing a pass out,okay. And I thought my mom's friend was unfit. LOL.


Wanna go for a walk at Bukit Gasing? Jom! Gimme a call!
I just hope I won't pass out again =P
