No, this post has nothing to do with Finn and Jake, besides the fact that their picture is gloriously posted below.
This post however, has more to do with my past weekend, amidst the heavy rain and glum. The adventure began on Saturday morning, where for my work training, I was sent, together with my colleague, to an indoor rock climbing centre in Wangsa Maju called Mad Monkeyz. It's a pretty small shop lot, but packed to the brim with walls you can climb on. After six hours there, I am now a certified Level One Sport Climber, and am allowed to belay for top-rope climbers.
The walls there are only about 4m high, but don't let it's short stature fool you into thinking that it is easy! Compensating for what they lack in height, they excel in challenge, both mentally and physically. There are many excruciating paths you can choose to traverse across the walls, and even ceilings! Definitely a fun place to visit if you're looking for both a mental and physical challenge.
Scaling walls is a hungry business, and so for dinner, I was at the Overseas Restaurant to celebrate the 50th birthday anniversary* of a dear family friend. 50 years and she doesn't look much different from when I first met her about 20 years ago. One thing I really admired was that at the dinner, her father made good use of the opportunity to share the gospel with the guests. Very, very brave of him!
*I say birthday anniversary because you technically have only one birthday. No prizes for guessing when that was. The ones you celebrate every year, would then naturally be your birthday anniversaries.
**Farshid, if you're reading this, no worries. The fish were not killed, but allowed to recuperate, then were subsequently returned into the pond.
