Thoughts and experience of a city girl

Something really surprised me today. I went for my usual Sunday hiking with my parents at Bukit Gasing. We took the path after the over-hanging bridge. As I was walking up the bukit, I didn’t realise I was walking faster and faster. After awhile, I noticed my parents were way behind so I decided to stop and wait halfway. The moment I stopped walking, I could feel that I am gasping for air. My parents caught up and I told them I am feeling dizzy. Then, very quickly my vision was blurred and I only see white images. A few hikers stopped and offered help but before I knew it, I collapsed. Was a slight blackout there but I could still struggle and stood up with my parents help. I heard people telling me to lower my head and take many deep breaths. A few hikers actually came down to check on me.

After resting for 15 mins, I was ok but there’s so much cold sweat and my towel was soaking wet. This has never happened before, I mean I go to gym so often and walking in Bkt Gasing was a weekly routine for me. Perhaps, it’s the sub-conscious stress I am going through? I don’t know..but this really did surprise me.

I love the sceneries in Greece but I love ITALY. Haha. I had so much fun when I was in both places for almost 10 days and I found myself not wanting to go back to Malaysia (yeah, I didn’t really miss anything about Malaysia). Usually I would be yearning to go back after 6 days or so because I miss Malaysian food or something else but this time I didnt feel that at all, even on the last day. That explains how much I love this vacation.

As you could notice in my pictures, Greece is beautiful except that the food was alittle of a problem for Asian. Stuffed spinach with cheese in a pie isn’t exactly the perfect meal for me. :p But boy I like Roma, maybe cos I did have good company and definitely because I did party one night in the city. One mojito actually got me alittle tipsy (this has never happened before!) I wonder what they put in it and the second margarita, I need Danny to finished it up for me cos I was already floating alittle. So I insisted to go to a club and we did! Never have I clubbed in a long-sleeved sweater before, haha…well, it’s winter and I didnt bring any sleeveless top. Was a fun night definitely.

Now back in kl, a couple of days back, my work department had a team building in putrajaya, dragonboat race. And yeah baby, my team got first. Was unexpected cos we were the underdog and the team we were against with had many strong guys. And my team having me is like having a semi-handicapped member because of my problematic back. But the true winner prevailed at last. Was a really nice event. Though I realised I wouldnt pick dragon boat or any rowing water sport as my hobbies cos it’s just too much for my arms, haha.

Back to work and work is crazy. I look forward to another vacation next month, will surely blog about it…the mystical turkey.
