Jangkar waterfall

Jangkar waterfall, is the first waterfall that I actually went to to have a picnic and swim at. And I must say, what an experience it was! So smart of me to pick the largest waterfall in Southern Sarawak (according to The Star 2010) lol. Came back with cuts and bruises and muscle pains all over.




The road to the place was a freakishly long and rocky one! About 2 hours plus from Kuching city? And you really need good directions.


The hike was torturing. It was raining, the terrain was tough, there were lots of parts where we needed a hand, and once, a back to step on, to get through. We stepped into water, mud and rocks of all colors BAREFOOT! But all that was so worth it, when you get to see such beauty. Takes your breath away :)


There were two paths up the mountain. One was the watery path, and one was the jungle track. We picked the watery path to climb. And boy, was that not only torturing, but pretty dangerous too. Most of our injuries were from the slippery rocks and the current of the rapid flowing waters. 


The guys had to hold hands to form a snake to support each one of us at some steep climbs. Damn hard. Managed to take pics at some of the hard parts


I never knew I could ever climb a rock like this!



After like, a really really long hike, we finally got there...


It was.. WOW


The guy just jumped in :O


Spot the man!


Our crazy friend Jon had to try that too lol. Have a hilarious video of his jump that I'll update soon.




Breathtaking


The water was FREEZING cold. This was the first waterfall.


We decided to go all the way up to where the water starts flowing down.. Hence, we reached, the second waterfall! It was scary.


*gulp*


There was another shallower pool at the 2nd level. It was really beautiful. Like, heaven on earth lol.



"Baby pool" Which we girls love hehe. But down there is so :S


The guys were the first to go in deeper to find the 2nd level waterfall.



True natural mineral water. Had a few sips. Fawesome!



Blurry is what you get the first time you look down hahaha. Friend wanted to take this pic and post it up saying, "30 minutes before I GG" wtf


You can spot a few of our friends who are still down at the 1st waterfall on the lower right. *legs soften*


See how strong the current was T_T so hard to get through the water, twisted my ankle slightly when I slipped at the rocks with the water rushing at my feet. Climbing rocks is the better way of getting up than walking through the water.



And there we are, the 2nd waterfall. Which was even more beautiful, only shorter. heart heart! The tour guide showed us that we are able to go behind the waterfall, there's a small cave at the back. But the current was too strong so only Jon made it behind. I didn't even dare to try. Haha.. doubt my swimming skills.

The trip was amazing. There are altogether 7 waterfalls but we were to tired and only made it to 2. However, the adventure didn't stop there. 

On the way back, our dear friend, whose Danger is his middle name, had to do a stunt lol. Which got us into this mess:


LMAO.

When we finally got out of it, we only had 2 bars of fuel left, almost 2 hours of road to cover, and empty stomachs since 9am. HAHA. Got to Lundu to pump fuel, got an ice cream, and drove on a pitch black road for 80+ kilometers to Kuching.


Very eventful indeed.  I wouldn't mind to go on another trip like this, but maybe not the same waterfall anymore haha. It was amazing but torturing at the same time. But as always, thinking back, it's always another awesome experience.

Oh yeah, must credit my iPhone 4 for taking all the pictures above. Not bad for a 5 mega pixel camera phone. Had it in a waterproof casing which i was so lucky I brought! If not, my phone would never have survived the trip! So won't these awesome pictures. If you're interested in the iPhone waterproof casing, you may leave a comment as I have supplies, haha. Available for Blackberries and other digital cameras too. Wow, advertisement opportunity haha.

Anyway, till next time. Chaos

Haulz

It's been a while since I talked about shopping, because it's been a long time since I shopped, because of  Daph's Ultimate Saving Plan (DUSP). The plan was an upcoming success but then the Malaysian Mega Sale had to come along. :S

However, after much debate and rationalizing, the DUSP committee (consisting of Daph's brain cells, conscious and boyfriend), decided that it's okay to do a little bit of shopping while there are sales for future economical benefits. >_<.

Then again, didn't do much shopping lar teehee. Only bought like a surf short, jeans shorts, an MNG basic blouse and an Esprit tank top. See, so little, so practical, so 'comforting', and am gonna save some of them for Chinese New Year anyway *comforts self*.


Love the surf shorts because it's so 2 in 1. It's simple black and white short on the outside but the upper band can be flipped to make it low cut and get this awesome zebra design  on the waist. heart. 


Always wanted a pair of jeans shorts and I finally found the perfect one with the right color and right bottom fold! You don't know how long I've been looking for this! So worth it :p Anyway, I find shorts very worth it because I wear them all the time. And they don't betray you as fast as long jeans do. I mean, when you just gain that coughtinybitofcough weight, long jeans suddenly get so tight it's uncomfortable to wear them! (Not that I gained anything. /looks away)

Bought all that Roxy because one, it's my favorite store in Spring, two, discounts start from 20%-50% now! And boyfie has the member card so that's like an additional 10%! AND, for every RM100 purchase you get a RM10 voucher! So, all in all, so worth it to go shop there now! 

Enjoy your mega sales shopping people! tata

Favorite iPhone themes

A friend recently asked me how I got my iPhone to get all pretty in pink inside. I'm no expert but I can share this with ya'll. 

First you jailbreak it, here's the link of info from Redmonpie on how to jailbreak iPhone 3G and onwards using ios4, 4.0.1 using jailbreakme (Star). Very useful and detailed instructions and this is like the easiest and quickest jailbreak I ever used! yum!

Next, to get them awesome themes, download Cydia, get WinterBoard (which is some theme organizer thing). After that, get those pretty themes from Cydia and activate them with WinterBoard! So easy! First thing I did when I got my iPhone last year haha.

However, with os4, my previous "Pretty Pink Theme" isn't as pretty as when it was on 3.1.2.. Don't know why :( and the lockscreen & wallpaper still uses the theme's lockscreeen and wallpaper eventhough I set to use m y own wallpaper :( So, everything's just slightly less pretty. >_<. No  more cute flower signal bar and pink EVERYTHING.

Well, atleast, some things like the Springboard and icons could still stay pretty.


This is my favorite Hello Kitty theme! It's named "hello kitty geance" from ModMyi in Cydia.



This cool more sophisticated white theme is named "White" from ZodTTD& MacCiti. "White Chocolate" and  "White Calculator" is pretty cool too. You could check out the screenshots in Cydia. Oh the little pink icons are from my favorite of favorite themes "Pretty Pink Theme", still use it cos it's still one of the most complete themes ever! But use it as a background now because the Hello kitty and White theme are lighter and sweeter :D.


This one is so cute, downloaded it right after I played Little Big Planet... The theme is called, "Little Big Planet" haha. 


That's one thing I love about the jailbreak-able iPhone... The inside can be pretty as the outside :D

About iOs4, I love it! I love how the folders save so much space and pages. Only, the multi-task thing is a bit of a hassle, having to close the apps whenever I don't need them, cause they don't auto-close. Oh, and, is os4 supposed to come with iBooks? I don't have it! sob.

Which makes me feel like reading my Twilight app, lol, which makes my eyes tired, which makes me wanna sleep now, good night. hehe.

Heart Sales!!

Helloooo! Here's a short post on some shopping goodies! :p

Walked around Spring quite a few times this week and stumbled upon several good deals :D

We all know the end of season sales had been going on for sometime now but I didn't expect Charles and Keith to be on sale too! Until the day before yesterday when I was walking around Spring with Aggy and Elaine that I felt the urge to show Elaine the pair of heels I wanted so bad for months now from Charles and Keith which costed RM165 smthn D:

But to my surprise! All the shoes were on sale. And my heels were 70% off! omfg-joy-to-the-world-heaven-fell-upon-me. Howeverrr the pair I wanted was out of size! /dark-clouds-shadowed. Butttt, there was a slightly similar pair, which had a more blunter tip than the one that I originally wanted... The design is a slightly similar due to the Oxford ties on the top, so, BUY!!! RM47+ only. Such a good buy, so happy with myself and the patience I had for months now wtf

Nah my heels: 


:D For casual and formal. Oh the feeling of getting new shoes, so delightful, self fulfilling, dream come true and everything, So happy. muahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaaa >_<.

Oh ya, the flats in C&K however does not have such awesome discounts I wonder why. The brown strappy studded flats I got beginning of the year is still above RM100 :(((

Anyway, other stuff


Just tried this out. Nature Republic's Black Head Scavenger Oil Peeling Gel. Yeah, its this oil based gel that you rub on your blackheads every few times a week. it's supposed to slowly dissolve and pull out your skin's impurities. I think it's not too bad, shall wait for the results in a few more weeks, but I was very successful with the pore pack yesterday after using this. :D It's on 20% discount now, good time to try it out cos it's only close to RM40 now :D


2 Lovely nail colors I've been looking for for sometime now. Nature Republic's Pink: FRD 303 and white FWH001. Both shimmering, both very rich colors. The pink is just so beautifully sweet and sassy at the same time, just the pink I've been searching so long for, and the white is perfect for a glossy French Manicure! It is a thick rich shimmering white, like 2 times stronger than the Elianto's one. yum! Best of all, it's 50% of now for both! So I got both of them for only RM15.90. How much more awesome can they get. :D~

And I totally forgot about the Revlon Color Stay review!


All I can say is, I LOVE this foundation. It's rich, it has awesome coverage and it can make skin as er "contoured" T__T as mine look (almost) flawless! Especially in pictures! muahahahaahaa. It also lives up to it's ColorStay name cos it really stays like for a long time. I even wore it to the beach and got into the water and out, it still stayed!! (at least I think it did cos my face didn't look blemished after I got outta the sea water). Yeah, but every normal day, you can expect it to stay till you get off work or till the late evenings.
However, I won't use it everyday because it is quite thick and won't wanna suffocate my skin too much. Still sticking to Blemish Balms aka BB creams. ;)

There, my two cents. Enjoy :D

Pink n white ❤

Love my new nails :D Just because it's light. I really love light colours very much. I wanted to do a whitish design but did pink instead. It's a nearly similar design to the previous dark purple one but these have flowers on instead :D
How I did the whole thing:
1.) Paint 3/4 of my nail in pink. Left 1/4 of the lower triangle blank without nail polish.
2.) Use nail art Silver nail polish and drew 2 lines to smooth out the pink edge.
3.) Dot 5 white dots in a circle. 
4.) When white dots are semi dry, use toothpick to pull lines between the dots, facing inwards. Hence, shape of flower is formed.
5.) Dot middle of flower with silver.
6.) Coat whole nail with a transparentlayer.
The End. :D
Neat and simple.
Just watched a video on using powder to do acrylic nail art. Can't wait to buy some and try to make a flower :D
Nights now. xoxo

Flexbrush nail polish, I think...

Yeah, can't really tell what's the name of it, but it's made in the USA. I got this a few days ago from the nail supplies store beside Pick n Pack. Awesome place, has everything you need for ur perfect nails. 
Anyway, about this nail polish. I first knew about this nail polish in a Youtube video from LOVE4NAILS if I remembered correctly, or it might be from another person I followed.. hmmm, nvm, She is good I tell ya, she comes up with all sortsa awesom nail art designs that I *heart* much!
So, at first I thought this nail polish is only available like, not in Kuching. But, I stumbled accross it in the store and I was so freggin' excited. It was retailed for RM35 but I was given a discount till RM20 :D
So what's so great bout this nail polish? Well, I think it's awesome cos it has a sharp tip brush unlike the regular nail polish, so I think it's meant for designing, like drawing lines or little stuff. And the silver colour is really intense. See:
The silver is really bright and thick and sparkly *love. Really brightens up the entire design.
And I am able to do fine strokes with the brush *thumbs up up up
So, it's awesome. I'm gonna have so much fun with this in the future of my nail painting ^^.
This, is a water-based eye makeup remover, made from deep sea water! ooO! I bought this cos I used to use their cleansing makeup remover thing before, which was cheap and pretty good. The brand is Mandom Beauty I think, from Japan I think >_<. Found in guardians. This eye make up remover too isn't very expensive and can really remove waterproof mascara, including my Majolica Majorca! *satisfied*
That's all fer now, really exhausted. Yay tmr is Saturday! Nights
