Ben Lomond... pt 2-finale

.. wat it is like in a normal day (which is with the rain.. n a wee bit of sun.. thank God for small mercies... )

(there are 31 pics, pls give it time to upload, and all the pics have been shamelessly stolen from my friends.. n there'r not in proper order..)

like i said in d 1st part of Ben Lomond, we were given an excessively long talk about how to be prepared for the trip... n i ended up with all this

i was supposed to stuff all that in one of those bagpack... u would expect me to carry to backpacks up a 3000++ feet mountain would do?!

obvious.. everything wouldnt fit into it.. unless it was Doremon's cute little pouch.. so i ended up wearing half of it n pack d rest in d bagpack.





the traditional group shot before starting the walk





at the foot of the mountain




Smile like a dungu...as if i've already reached d top.. that was only at some 300 feet high i think! i was already half dead by the time i reached that point.. where it was d start of the walk!



acting macho at 350 feet. u'll never see this kind pic in the rest of this post.. cos i didnt have d strength to even smile for a pic, nor did i take any pics after this.





beautiful blue bells all along the way... no no.. not alll along the way.. just at the foot of the mountain





at the foot of the mountain




the islands that u can get to from Loch Lomond... i wish we had gone there instead of on Ben lomond














that's d top of Ben Lomond


n a few of d ppl who made it...



thank God i decided to turn back.. doesnt look like i missed anything much up there...




ahahaha!!! look at my face!! i think this was halfway up to the top... i was dead scared cos i thought i'd trip/slip/be blown away ( almost was... twice!!) ! LOL

a quiz that is at least 75% accurate... in my case

Finally... i come across a survey or quiz thingy that is at least 75% accurate. I've never really been a fan of these things, but i sort of do it anyways cos i think its a good laugh in the end when u read wat a computerized program tells about u. give it a try... it hardly takes more than 5 minutes...n d questions are pretty interesting. http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx the link is called 'get to know urself better'. if u need a computer and a webpage to tell u about urself.. then u seriously need help. i'd rather call this thing as '............' *five minutes later* okay... i dont know wat i'd call it, but i'd definitely not want to call it as 'get to know urself better' anyways, this is wat it said about me.. not all is true, but 75% of it is... Your view on yourself: You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally at

i feel like i've missed a lot all these years.. like i do today

this is a very spontaneous post. i never even thought about things like this before... In my quarter of a century of lifetime... never have i ever felt missing out on something being the only child. but today i do. almost all my friends in malaysia have siblings... infact ALL of them had/have siblings... i was d only one who didnt. most of my friends in india have siblings and it didnt bother me. at that time, i felt having a sibling was not all that important. (even now i dont think its all that important). even when i used to go to India for holidays every year ( all the members from my mum's side of the family was there... now most of them are all around the world.. just like my dad's side of the family), i never really felt like i've been missing out in the sibling thing. all my mum's siblings are very closely attached and the love they have for each other is so obvious even when they are talking about them to ppl not in the family. like, one of my aunt would say.
