okay..baru found time to update. ingatkan nak buat semalam, but ehtah apa pulak i buat eh..oh yes..i was watching my dvds..hehehe. dua hari berturut2 i was watching this japanese anime dvds. best pulak nengok citer ni. anyway, last weekend was a lot of fun. ingatkan next week nak buat a trip like this, but have to wait for another weekend. we were supposed to go camping today but weather forecast said that it will be cold. temp in the low 30s. so postpone next weekend pulak camping kat wilson.

sean took this of sarina using her camera..nampak tak tu smudge.. tu keje dia dua beradik lah tu...dah nak kena beli itu lens cleaner.

anyway, last week we left for moab thursday evening. sean balik keje jer we left. i dah pack all the stuff during the day while waiting for him to come back from work. all was well. alhamdullilah, the weather from ellsworth through denver were sunny and warm. sekali tu kan..bila masuk the mountains jer..alih2 warning sign kat the signboard saying to watch out for icy roads...wahhhhh..it started snowing like crazy. i think from 8.00 pm gitu till 2.am baru sean stopped and we found a hotel that has vacancy.

the landscape arch..this is the arch that sean mati2 nak nengok...

what happenes was..when it started to snow badly, we stopped at one town trying to see if we could find a hotel room. but what we didn;t factor in was it was spring break and that all the family, college kids wuld be out and about as well. and these places that we stopped trying to look for a room, has been booked in advance because of the ski resorts. i had one experience that i didn't really care at one hotel..but i had a good one at a hotel which was like 30 miles away. no doubt there is no vacancy, but this front desk person actually called around to ask if there were any rooms available. such a nice man. anyway, we were lucky to find a room, 40 miles away. that was the only room left. talk about luck all because the person who had reserved the room didn't show up..hehe.

ni kan, sarah and i tengah tunggu sean dengan sarina go up and come down from the double 'o' arch. she said that she nak baring and sun herself and suruh i amik gambar dia..hehehe.. that and pictures of cactus..she is so fixated by the cacti all around us.

anyway, that was an experience..going up and down the mountains in snow and ice. well, the next day we reached moab..very nice place..but too bad it coincided with the jeep safari marathon that they had. the roads were littered with hummers and jeeps and all these big SUVs. talk about breathing in fumes..anyway, again we were lucky..as you can see, we never plan one..haha..takder make any reservations at all. and like in colorado, there was only one room left and that was the king and i said sure no problem. but of course, they jacked the price up too, by about $30 more.

tu dia sean and sarina sampai dulu kat arch ni. sarina dah pergi exploring by herself behind the arch itself.

so our activities over there..for a day and a half..all we did was hike to see all these arches. macam nak rak i bilang you. one time tu kan, we have to clibmb this almost smooth rock lah..so i needed a bit of a pull from sean. i belum ready lagi ada ker dia dah tarik i ..dengan penuh semangat nyer..habis i nyer lutut kena scraped. i terpekik..i said...wait...but dengan sekelip mata i dah ada kat atas batu tu. malam tu kan..habi satu badan seme sakit2..hehe. it was a long climb. mana lutut berdenyut..kena guris..mana tangan i sakit..well my upper arm. i pikir pumya pikir..camana boleh sakit kan..bukan nya i nagkut barang berat2...baring2..baru i teringat. i bilang kat sean, it was because he pulled me too hard. of course lah dia mintak sorry and then, he added that it was good of him to haul me up the rock lah kan..i said ye lah..mmg..but janganlah hauled me up macam guni beras ..kena haul me up dengan lemah lembut nyer...cewahh..hahahahahahhahahahaha. pastu kan dia cakap..tak sangka yang dia kuat ada power tarik i pakai satu tangan jer..hahahahahhaa.

ingatkan nak post gambar ni tuari..but didn't do it. this is my fishball and chicken hor fun..yummmms!..hehe..again, ikut tekak i lah..hahhaa

anyway, it was fun. badan sakit2 takper....sebab it was a load of fun. and of course, this trip was not expensive at all. for a budget traveller..these are the places that you can go for cheaps here..if you drive a fuel efficient car lah..hehe. as usual for more pictures, please go here :)

kepada sesapa yang ada banyak telur ayam ke, itek, ke..ataupun angsa..hehehehehe...kalau dah mati akal camana nak prepare telur..try this recipe. i got this from one tv show kat sini..actually the cook is an australian chinese lady. pakai telur itek lagi sedap dari telur ayam. what you do..goreng telur just to garing kan the bottom. kena pakai banyak minyak sikit lah...then keuarkan..and tabur sikit oyster sauce, salt and white pepper,sliced chillies ( i pakai lada padi) and sliced green onion. can eat just like that jer..atau makan dengan roti or makan dengan nasi with other lauk...this is one of sean nyer favourite dishes :)
