     Bismillah.



    Kisah cinta antara aku dan motor agak berliku. Aku mula ambil lesen motor selepas SPM, sekaligus dengan lesen kereta. (btw lesen kereta aku manual okey heh). Selesai dapat lesen L, macam biasa, kita akan start belajar litar (02) dan jalan raya (03). Aku datang kelas motor 02 untuk dua hari je, lepas tu aku give up dan berhenti belajar.

    Punca aku berhenti ialah kerana aku jatuh motor sampai berdarah lutut T^T. Gila betul. Maklumlah aku memang tak pernah belajar motor sebelum ni. Tahu membonceng kat belakang je. Motor kat institut memandu tu dah berapa banyak dah aku patahkan side mirror haha.

    Somehow, dapatkan lesen motor ni memang ada dalam life bucketlist aku. Ni semua gara-gara aku tengok mak aku bawak skuter macam best je pergi mana-mana. Yelah, kalau kereta kena hadap jem. Bawak skuter boleh lalu shortcut, dan tak susah cari parking.

    Sebab yang lain ialah aku rasa pandai motor ni merupakan salah satu essential basic skills. Contoh kau bayangkan, kalau ada emergency nak kena hantar anak klinik, kereta masuk bengkel, waktu tu tengah peak hour ke pebenda, then motor la solusi terbaik. Tak gitu?

    Okey kita sambung cerita.

    So tahun lepas aku start daftar balik lesen motor, tapi bukan kat kampung aku sebab aku dah masuk universiti. Aku daftar di institut memandu berdekatan dengan kampus aku. Aku hadir untuk ceramah motor, buat ujian bertulis dan yadayada dapatlah lesen L (once again). Lepas tu aku kena booking tarikh untuk hadir kelas 02. 

    On the day yang aku sepatutnya hadir kelas motor, aku TERLAJAK TIDUR. Kelas pukul 8.15, aku bangun pukul 8. Macam gila aku kejutkan member aku suruh hantarkan. Sampai je kat sana dalam pukul 8.30, akak kat kaunter tu dah tak terima. Dia cakap aku lambat datang, dah tutup register dah. Aku geram betul part ni tapi memang salah aku so takleh buat apa.

    Selepas dari hari tu, aku keep putting off untuk booking kelas. Sampailah habis sem, kemudian masuk sem baru tak ada progress langsung (masa ni macam tak teringat langsung kat kelas motor), kemudian sem baru lagi sekali barulah aku nak sambung balik. Sebab awal tahun 2024 dah kena pergi intern, so aku fikir lagi bagus kalau pergi kerja dengan motor.

    Tapi tak sempat booking kerana aku selalu procrastinate. Sebelum habis sem, aku call ayah aku minta dia daftarkan aku kat institut memandu yang aku pernah pergi tu. Ayah aku kerja kat situ btw, so senang jela proses.

    First day aku belajar, aku jatuh kat bulatan. Seluar koyak, lutut berdarah. Memang trauma wei haha. Balik tu aku senyap je sampailah mak aku tanya "okey tak tadi?" Tak cakap banyak, berjurai air mata jantan aku keluar. Tanjat mak aku sebab aku ni mana pernah nangis. Kitonyo tough girl okeyyy. 

    Hari ketiga aku belajar, aku jatuh lagi. Kena kat lutut yang sama tapi kalini jatuh kat bahagian titi. Yang mana pernah belajar moto tahulah titi dia halus macam liang lahad. Mak aih belum baik lagi luka lama dah berdarah kembali. Punyala dalam luka tu nak dijadikan cerita aku terpaksa solat duduk 3 hari sebab takleh sujud. Hambikkk ko nak sangat belajar motor kann padan muka.

    Tapi aku cekalkan hati do. Aku teruskan pergi belajar motor macam biasa. Lama-lama tu aku dah pandai dah bawak motor. Titi 7 saat pun aku boleh buat.

    Tibalah hari ujian JPJ. Giliran aku di sesi 1, nombor 11. Gemuruh berdebar cemas semua ada la. 

    Bila turn aku tiba, aku pun buat CITO (cermin sisi, lampu, hon) macam biasa. First halangan, titi. Naik slow.... BAMMMMMMM!!!!!!!! Aku jatuh motor, motor jatuh atas aku!

    Cilakak punya titi. Dahlah sakit satu hal, malu pulak satu hal lagi. Kau bayangkan semuaaaaa orang tengah tengok kau. Haih tak tahu nak letak muka kat mana.

    Cikgu lelaki datang tolong aku angkat motor. Masa ni dah berair dah mata aku haha. Dia suruh aku bawak motor pergi buat jalan raya pulak. Jalan raya okey, lulus. Halangan, gagal. Kena repeat.

    Masa ni sebenarnya aku dah cuak. Flight aku 3 hari selepas tarikh JPJ yang baru. Kalau aku gagal lagi sekali, memang bye bye jela lesen. Aku terfikir jugak untuk reschedule flight tapi maleh ah. 

    Macam biasa, sambung belajar bawak motor. Pagi petang langit cerah gelap mendung semua aku dah lalui. 

    Okey, diringkaskan cerita, Alhamdulillah berjaya jugak aku lulus JPJ dan dapat lesen motor. Bolehlah aku fly dengan senang hati hehe.

    Tu jela yang aku nak cerita. Kbye. Next post will probably be about my wholesome wonderful experience in Japan.

    We hiked the Gunung Alai the other day! Yes you heard (or read, to be precise) it right! 

    One of my wishlists has always been to hike a mountain, not just the small hills. And I finally did it!💗One wishlist crossed!

    There were a total of 18 of us friends so we went there with 4 cars. We started our journey from campus early, some time around 10pm and reached the meeting point at Restoran Kari Kepala Ikan Salim at 1am. I ate two roti canai kosong because one was just not enough to fill my growling stomach. The roti canai was damn good, but the kuah kari is a no-no. 

    Aside from us 18 people, we were joined together with 12 strangers along with 3 malim gunung (that's what they call the hiking guides). I spent RM65 for the permit and the malim fees. 

    After everyone had arrived, we followed the malims to the designated location. Unlike Berekeh, there wasn't a proper parking space here. It was more like the excess space near the village so I was feeling a bit off at that. If yall are wondering, this village isn't Orang Asli village. 

    The hike started at around 2.50 a.m. The earliest group arrived at the peak at 4 a.m. meanwhile me and my gurls and two gentlemen and one malim was the last group to arrive. It was around 6.10 a.m. and the sun had already started to rise :')

    Anyway, we were suuuperrrrr thrilled as there were already many people there. A lot of them built their own pacaks to sleep under, but we don't have that so we just chilled on our rubber mat. The weather was extra colddd and I didn't bring my windbreaker so I was the only one hugging myself to keep me warm :') (Sofea lent me hers later though, what a sweet girl). The boys cooked us instant Maggi. Thank you guys!!

    There a total of 3 checkpoints before finally reaching the peak. Someone built resting benches out of tree trunks at each of the checkpoint, so it was truly nice to be able to take a breathe after all those sweatings. The hiking difficulty level was moderate, I'd say. I definitely think Berekeh was a lot more difficult as it went like: /\ /\ /\ meanwhile Gunung Alai's trail is mostly what we would call "denai" and landai, something like this: __/ --/

    The track was easy and well-identified. Honestly, I think you'd be just fine without a guide. Just be sure to apply for permit at the Jabatan Perhutanan. 

    The view you ask? Oh it was top-tier. A whole different level compared to Berekeh and other hills I've hiked before. Here, you can totally see the whole awan karpet. All the clouds were covering the forests and hills and it was SO FREAKIN PRETTY. Subhanallah.



    Gunung Alai, Gerik, Perak
    Distance: 5.5km
    Highest Elevation: 791m

    We took LOTS of pictures, but lemme just kept them in my personal files. Can you see the two mountain peaks in the picture? That is Gunung Kerunai (1000m) and Gunung Kenderong (1123m). 



    After the peak, we went slightly off somewhere to another peak (refer picture above) where the view is clearer.

    And did I mention it rained slightly? >,< Due to that, the slope was more slippery than usual, and muddy. Yup, muddily muddy mud. Especially when we hiked down the mountain. It got me fell on my ass for 2 times. All my clothes were covered in mud that if you look at me, you would wonder 'what the hell did she went into the paddy field?'

    Our shoes ehek :PP

    I washed my shoes immediately when we got back. However, the yellowish stain was still there. Any tips to get rid of the stainn pleaseeeee. Oh my god I loved my previously dusty pink shoes because it was hella pretty and now I'm stuck with this worn-down looking shoes. What a heartbreaking reality :'''



    View: Infinity/10
    Hiking difficulty: 4/10
    Overall experience: PERFECT 100000/10
    Recommended? DEFINITELY YES YES YESS


    All in all, it was an easy hike. Just be careful if it rains as you don't wanna hurt your butt. There is also a waterfall near the place but it was closed as it was dangerous and not safe. Would I go here again? Absolutely! It was worth every penny and cent.

    Maybe it was because I went there with friends, hence the ultra-nice experience. But anyway, hey, if you got extra time, do spend it on a hike to here! Worth all the sweats and fuels, I'd guarantee that 💝

    The first time I've heard about this book was from an interview video of Lee Nadine, a gorgeous Harvard-student-alias-influencer who starred in the infamous Korean dating variety show for single people; Single's Inferno. She captured the viewers' hearts with her graceful and classy attitude, a demeanor befitting her brilliant mind. When asked about her favourite book, she answered it enthusiastically, even saying she had read it four times.

    As she was my idol during that particular time, and also certainly my favourite participant in the show, it was no wonder that I searched the book up on the internet, and quickly added it to my TBR-list.

    I meant to read it sooner. However, there were too much of adulting stuffs going on for me at that moment, thus the priority hereby went to the soon-to-be-due-assignments, group projects and meetings. It was hard for me to actually sit down and have my own 'me time'. I finally had the time to read the book after literally wrestled myself to it.




    Title: When Breath Becomes Air

    Author: Paul Kalanithi

    Genre: Autobiography, Memoir

    Date of Published: 12th January 2016

    Page Count: 256

    Publisher: Random House


    The book started with a prologue; a 30-year-old-something Paul was flipping through his CT scan images, dressed in not his usual white coat, but a patient's gown. As an accomplished final year neurological resident at Stanford, he knew at the first glance of what it was. Six months before, he started experiencing the symptoms: losing weight and ferocious back pain. 

    He continued to tell the story in his point of view. The first part of the story recounts on his glorious days before he discovered he had stage four lung cancer. In the second part, Paul narrates his story and his views on life, as both a doctor and patient. The book ended with an epilogue, written by his beloved wife, Lucy.

    No words could describe how reading this book was literally a life-changing experience. It got me sobbing on my knees, screaming my heart out and undoubtedly left me questioning my life decisions.

    Seriously though, how could a book make you cry THIS MUCH? The only time you would find me not crying would be from that one scene when Paul became a spider man-which was not in this universe-so nope, no no-crying happened. (ugh do u get it?)

    To read this book is to read about a great man who achieved everything in his life, dying with his family by his side, on his journey to face death. It is also equally important to read in this beautifully-written memoir about the resilience and what makes life meaningful enough to go on living. Paul, in writing his story not just as a cancer patient but also how he saw life as before and after the devastating news. Before the news he was always a strong man, doing surgeries for tens of hours and dedicating life to medicine. But what happens after he started to feel those pain? The kind of pain he really knew about (after all, his patients used different words to describe it) but he never actually knew what it felt like. What happens to life after cancer changed his world. It was a long haul, long struggle full of tears and pain and therapy. His story reminds us that in chasing for our dreams, don't forget to look back and walk shoulder-to-shoulder, fingers interlocked with your loved ones, for no one can tell the future.

    Some of the excerpts/quotes I figured would you even more intrigued about the book:

    Awal semester haritu aku and the gang were too bored with our single life. Jadi Anas called me up one day and asked if I wanna go hiking. Destinasi yang dipersetujui pada awalnya ialah Gunung Kerunai, salah satu gunung yang memberikan pemandangan sangat indah di atas puncak. Aku setuju ja, sebab tak pernah hike lagi Gunung Kerunai.

    Tapi malangnya plan Kerunai terpaksa cancel sebab nak naik Kerunai perlu menggunakan kenderaan 4x4. Dan tentunya pendakian Kerunai turut memerlukan hiking guide because none of us have experienced hiking there so we don't know the route and also we were worried about our safety issue.

    Jadi destinasi hiking terpaksa ditukar kepada Bukit Berekeh. Walaupun pendakian Bukit Berekeh turut dilakukan pada waktu malam (3 pagi to be more accurate), tapi tak menjadi masalah kerana aku dan Ainul dah pernah mendaki Berekeh sebelum ni. So there is no problem about safety/route etc.

    Jadi bersiap-siaplah kami berempat yang terdiri daripada aku, Ainul, Anas dan Sofea. Kami memulakan perjalanan dari kampus lebih kurang jam 12.30 malam, dan tiba di Orang Asli One Stop Centre (OAOSC) lebih kurang jam 2 pagi. 

    Kat OAOSC tu memang selesa. Ada tempat parking, tandas dan surau. Kebersihan pun memang tiptop. Korang tak perlu risau.

    Selepas ambil wuduk, siapkan kelengkapan dan lain-lain, maka berjalanlah kami berempat dari OAOSC ke titik mula pendakian. Kami akan solat Subuh di atas sana, dan untuk memudahkan, kami akan jaga wuduk.





    Bukit Berekeh

    Panjang: 5.3km
    Bilangan peak: 5
    Purata tempoh masa: 2 jam 15 minit

    Jejak pendakian ialah agak mencabar untuk beginner especially yang tak buat training. Banyak jalan naik/turun bukit dan kawasan curam. 
    Recommended untuk mendaki dalam kumpulan dan ada pendaki lelaki untuk kumpulan perempuan.










    Kami tiba di puncak pada pukul 5 pagi. Terus kitorang hamparkan tikar getah dan berbaring sambil menunggu sunrise. Jangan risau kalau korang berada dalam kumpulan kecil sebab kat atas sana tu nanti akan penuh dengan kumpulan-kumpulan lain. 






    Ni masa nak turun. Matahari dah naik jadi sangatlah cantik kalau nak ambil gambar.





    Nampak tak bukit-bukit kat belakang sana? Itulah yang kitorang daki pada waktu malam. Tak sangka jauh jugak sebenarnya.





    If you are a beginner in hiking, I would suggest to do:
    *brief walk every day a week before
    *do a lot of exercises sebab nanti takut terkehel kaki, tak larat pastu pitam etc

    Kelengkapan yang perlu dibawa:
    Headlamp (PERLU sebab jalan gelap tak nampak pape)
    Air
    Makanan ringan
    Spray for ankle kalau takut terseliuh kaki. Member aku haritu pernah terseliuh kaki. Naya mat nak habiskan pendakian.




    By the way, aku tak suggest group **girls only** sahaja yang naik. Sekurang-kurangnya heret la member lelaki korang atau bayar hiking guide for your safety. Bahaya sebenarnya kalau perempuan je yang naik tapi sebab kitorang berempat memang perangai sekor-sekor macam jantan jadi tak ada hal. Alhamdulillah Tuhan jaga.


    Anyway, rating is 5/5 stars! Definitely recommended for those who want to bathe in the refreshing sunlight and drown in the beauty of nature! Plus it's free hehe
