The first thing that I wanted when I started working was to get a credit card. That would mean financial independence. Don’t ask me why, but somehow I had that thinking.

As most of you already aware of, I am now quite into the rock climbing sport. Remember when I purchased my Rock Pillars Stream back in May (wait a minute, it’s only about 2 months back)? The same shop and rock climbing gym is going to move out of Summit. Apparently due to the fact the rent is expensive. Rumours have it that they are going to KL Tower where the rent is subsidized by the Sports Ministry. Because of that they were having a clearance sale so that they don’t have to move all their stock. I couldn’t resist myself and get a few items

The biggest purchase of the harness. The Ocun Mescal ~ The Ocun brand is also from Czech Republic; the same with my shoes.

After I got the harness, then I thought to myself. It wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t have the carabiner and belay device. So this is where the dilemma was. At first I thought, just settle for the cheapest pair and that’s it but after long consideration, I went for something I deemed respectable.

The Lucky HMS  Screwgate

Along with this, instead of the usual figure 8 belay device,

I topped up (almost double the price, but what the heck) and upgraded it to the Black Diamond ATC (Air Traffic Controller). Mine is in gold though.They ran out of colours. It was after all a clearance sale.

Finally when I thought I could have stopped, but there was one more last thing to get… The chalk bag. Since this fellow was just going for RM18, I thought ‘What the heck, go for it!’ Mine didn’t have the waist strap though. You have to purchase that separately.

So after all these, Athena’s a very very poor gal.Have to makan roti again

It has been a while since Alex travelled which was good for me. I like it when he’s around. Won’t any wife eh?

Anyway, Alex’s off for the week and I am back to my parents’ place. Lucky for me really. Alex isn’t much of a durian person and now being in the height of the durian season, I can have a durian feast together with my parents EVERYDAY!!! Ok lah, not everyday.

Plus, it is haze season again. Seriously, while we blame our Indonesian neighbour for causing us to breathe in the smog and all, our own backyard i.e Dengkil is burning as well. My house is so near to Dengkil. Our cars are covered with a thin film of the ashes although we have just washed it about 2 days ago. The air quality is really bad. We can hardly see 10km away. I really do hope that our government would really do something about this. It has been more than 10 years and we are still fighting the haze…sigh!

I am so excited! Yesterday my first purchase on EBAY arrived. Although EBAY have been around for the longest time, I am a late bloomer to this online bidding thing. Last time my housemates used to buy using lelong.com.my but I never really bid for anything. Just let them know what I want and tumpang their account.

Without me going on and on here, let’s look at the purchase shall we?

The merchandise was an collection of Bamboo Hooks ~ a total of 9 hooks all together. I just put the yarn and scissors in the background to improve the picture. After all I am using this along with the two items no?

The largest hook in the lot was the 10mm hook ~ US 15. This is an extremely huge hook. Looks like a mini drumstick really. But since it is made out of bamboo, it is amazingly light.

The smallest is a 4mm hook ~ US 6. Some of my aluminum hook is this size. The aluminum is smoother to work with at the moment but the bamboo just feel to nice to touch!

Just so that you can imagine how big these hooks are, this is me holding the US15 hook with my left hand. Feels like holding those permanent marker pens!

I just can’t wait to start all my projects with these hooks!!!

In Malaysia, there have been lots of development going on in terms of education sector. Along with development in the education sector, the finance sector seems to be churning out more and more products to cater for this growing market.
