What I'd proud of..

Hi, I want to share some stuff that I did and I’m proud of it, well it’s depend on how to think actually.

First, I need to you guys to get to know about me. Well, I’m a game enthusiast. I like to play a classic game; it’s more like a game that most people appreciate. Example are like The Legend of Zelda, you know that “Hey! Listen!” fairy that people keep talking about. So, to start it straight, I was looking for a game titled Pokémon: SoulSilver. It may sound like childish right, “Pokémon”, but yeah it is. It is a remake game of 1998 game Pokémon: Silver that was my first Pokémon game that I ever played. It was the best yet, most outstanding and longest game that I played so far when I was 10 years old. So, playing that game really bring the nostalgia of me when I was a little kid and some sort of spark that you can feel, more like déjà vu.

 That SoulSilver was released during 2010 and it’s already stopping the production. I was looking for that game ever since but I never seen that game in Malaysia because there were really less NDS (a console) players in Malaysia. I found one before, but it was in Japanese language (which obviously I won’t understand).

So, in 2015, after 5 years of searching, I’d arrived in USA. I’m not saying that I join the seaman just to find this game, NO. But while I was on it, why not I look for it. So my first search was in Louisiana Mall, there was a pawn shop, more like a game pawn shop. From every old school game from 32-bits arcade game to 3 dimensions game, they got everything. Even an original cartridge of SNES which is extraordinary legend, still on those shelves. With this, I am 100% sure that I really can find that game here.

The Shop

So I ask the shop dealer about my quest, she (yes, it’s a girl) said that they do really have. YESS!!! The moment when I heard the word “yes we have”, I jumped until I hit the roof only if I can do that. And the price was $50. WHAT THE FISH?!! It cost like a bundle of potatoes enough supply for whole month! So I asked again hope that I misheard but I wasn’t.

I asked her why it is so pricey. Then she said this game that most people appreciate (same word that I used), and she keep go on talking about Pokémon (I really surprised like a guy found out her girlfriend a boy) which is most girl would never know about it. Then I took a deep thought for a while and decided not to. My current salary just $200 and it took ¼ of my salary if I bought it. So I return to my ship.

When I was on board my ship, I took another deep thought again and the next thing I know that I went ashore again and bought that game. Arghhh, it kind of ridiculous eh? I didn’t regret at all actually.  Well, the turning point actually is that you can get the game for free by download it on PC and play it.

 You must be thinking that why I am so stupid to waste on $50 for something that you can get for free. Here’s a point, I respect the creator of the game. Their ideas, the music, the graphic, they didn’t create it just like that you know. They hired talented composer, high-class artist, multi-lingual translator, skilled programmer and I am very sure they spent a lot more that you pay. There are so many people committed on the works; the proof is their 20 minutes long of end credit. That’s why I support them. As I said before, it is depend on how you think actually. This is how I think, so what yours?

I was interested with this place when i was 15 years old. It was that time i was introduced to trance based music by brother because he is a DJ as well in club at Malacca called Mixx. Since then my brother and me are planning to go this fantastic place. As per our estimation, another 3 years we would be there. They are fabulous DJ's are playing there such as Tiesto, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, and nevertheless the DJ that known by everyone David Guetta.

This event happens every year but for the last 3 years the venue has been shifted from Belgium To Sao Paulo, Brasil. This is due to insufficient space because the crowd is expanding every year.

Weekend getaway!

Last weekend, we went to Datuk mountain which is located at Rembau, Negeri Sembilan. It just less than an hour  of driving from Alam. We started to move from Alam around 4:30 in the morning cause we plan to hike the 2900 ft mountain before sunrise and watch the sunrise at the peak. From the car park, we descend to the path down the stream , cross a bridge and walk through the trail which is the starting point. As it was 5 in the morning. Everything was so dark and yeah we were prepared with torchlights. Normally it takes 2 hours to reach the top, but we did it in an hour plus or less (Can't remember ) . As we hike higher, the wind is getting stronger to the extend that I almost flew off >.<

(Picture was taken when we were resting after the exhausting climb)

After a while, the path became slightly less steep and we can feel the refreshing breeze. And yeah the wind was stronger. At first, we thought that we won't make it to the top before sunrise but yay we made it in time! Finally , we reached the campsite which had a few ladders which enable us to climb the big boulders that dominate the peak of the mountain. 

The above picture was taken at the campsite before we proceed to climb the big boulders.

The ladder might look unsafe but it was not as scary as what you think.

These are some of the moment that we took after the sunrise. On the summit, we had quite a magnificient views and enjoy the cool breezes. Coming down was easy but physically my knees and leg muscles were so damn hurt! Plus I'm not wearing a proper shoes so I did slip and fall here and there. We enjoyed the hike which was short but struneous. It was a memorable moment. If you ever plan to hike Gunung Datuk, bring plenty water with you as the weather is getting hotter due to the El Nino phenomenon now. If you can't really stand the cold, bring sweater too and gloves. 

After the hike, my body was so damn hurt. Like really hurt eventhough I slept for the whole day after that. So , that night , we went to Gadek Hotspring which only located at Alor Gajah, Melaka. 

We went around 10 at night so it was quite chill and a really perfect time to go to hotspring! 

So that was my unplanned weekend which went really well after a long , tiring week of classes.

So, how's your weekend?
