I'd say that 19-May-2019 marked a significant day for me. I think it was the day where I truly "broke up". We were never in an official relationship. Probably because I am not a good man yet. And yes, indeed I truly realized that I am not until she cried out and talked her heart out.

She chose to leave. I should let her go. She is sorrowful to be with me.. long term.

I am fine. Don't worry.

7th August, 2019
I chose to strike through the above. Because it seems things are getting along better for us.

I am feeling truly guilty and bad that I did not even keep this blog as up to date as possible. I remember it every night but I am just too tired to login and pen down something.

So much had happened for the past one month since I last blogged. I try.. I try to put in some effort to keep it updated.

It is 4:40 AM. You can tell the reason why I am tired.

This is going to be a long overdue post. It was on 31st March, 2019. Again, I went to Gunung Pulai once more together with the group. I actually went to Pulai twice while I am still living. 

We went to the same spot where the big stone locates and took a picture with the similar position and pose as two weeks ago. We did something more that time. We even brought a watermelon and had our small picnic gathering with watermelon only. 

Watermelon was heavy. It wasn't easy to carry it all the way up. It was like putting an extra of 5 KG of weight in the bag and carried. It was YongHui who carried it. Good one bro!

We missed the waterfall in our last visit. There is a waterfall at Gunung Pulai. It was rather crowded that day with people BBQ and having fun in the water. I am fine with crowd. Please do not throw trash everywhere after we leave the place. Usually what crowd left over is trash all over the places. That's the very basic and fundamental every single soul should know and behave as one. Keep the place clean at all time and at all cost!

I was disappointed to see plastic bags, plastic bottles and wasted food around. I would assume those people would at least clean it up when they are leaving!

That's about it for my second Gunung Pulai trip while I am alive. The next real deal is coming next Wednesday - Mt. Kota Kinabalu!

17th March, 2019 - 2

We continued driving towards the destination with our stomach filled. There's a entrance fee of RM 3. We arrived approximately 9 AM and it was already pretty much crowd already. I happened to overhear an uncle said he had come since 7 AM.

 You may simply park the vehicle anywhere by the road side so long as it doesn't block the way of other motorists. My friends went a little bit serious here. They had bags stuffed with items just to create weight to it. It helps to simulate the actual Mount Kota Kinabalu climb next month.

While as for me. I had nothing on and I wore a simple kampung "Adidas" rubber shoes. Obviously it is not the authentic Adidas. That's how people called the shoes - kampung Adidas.

I don't require a pair of expensive hiking shoes. I most probably would only use it once! RM 6 rubber shoes is good to go.

And we began the hiking. I am unsure how is the terrain in Mount Kota Kinabalu. For Gunung Pulai it does come to some points where you'd experience really challenging terrain. That is where you really get to feel the stress and strain in the legs, thigh and knees!

Hu! Imagine Mount Kota Kinabalu...

Golden rule here is don't rush. One step at a time. Enjoy the journey. Enjoy the mother nature. Enjoy the creation from the Creator. I saw really big rotan. It grows all the way from the top of the tree to the bottom.

I saw snake! I saw scorpion!

Why rush. We ain't gonna live long.

 Before I die, I saw a wild scorpion. Not in the zoo. In the wild.

That's part of the Mount Kota Kinabalu expedition team. There are total of 14 of us going for the climb. Know what. I am going to hike Gunung Pulai again on the 30th March, 2019!

This time would gonna be a little special. We are going to have a light picnic at some point of the top of the mountain. Plus, we are going to visit the waterfall in our next visit!

By the way, coming down the hill is quite a nightmare and I injured three toes.

17th March, 2019 - 1

We were told to wake up at 6 AM and started car engine departing from our place by 7 AM. It was early for five of us!

We passed by Senai on the way heading to Gunung Pulai and decided to have a light breakfast in Senai first. We came to 利利兴咖啡店 at Kampung Baru Senai, 81400 Senai, Johor.

Personally, I find the wantan noodle was pretty delicious!

I would like and I am supposed to document down about my trip to Gunung Pulai last Sunday (March 17th, 2019) but it is 5:20 AM now. I need to catch some sleep.

Feeling meh.

Anyway. Before I die.. I managed to conquered Gunung Pulai.

My current study loan (PTPTN) has converted to Ujrah according to my parents. They actually converted for my behalf. There are two types of payment schemes for study loan: Conventional 3% and Ujrah 1%. I'll skip the technical part here.

I did a Google search about the difference of both and realized there are many people with mixed feeling for both. Majority I came about advised not to convert from the conventional 3% to Ujrah 1%.

After paying for close to 10 years only I started to dig information about the difference of those two payment option schemes.

I have already converted to Ujrah 1%. If you're under Ujrah 1%, it is not worthwhile to pay in one shot. To put it simple, Conventional 3% is like having a mortgage loan and Ujrah 1% is the hire purchase/car loan concept where you are servicing the loan in a fixed amount basis (interest included) until the loan is cleared.
