Hello 2014 Goodbye 2013

Hi, its year end again and I’m here to do some crapping. Every time when a year comes to an end, automatically there will be flashbacks going on in the head. Flashing back all the good and bad times that happened throughout the year. Well, year 2013 has come to an end and just like the previous years, it has been great. Although I would say it might not be as awesome as year 2012. But still it’s a great year that I been through.

It has been more than a year since I last quit my job and has been surviving as a freelance tourist guide. Being a tourist guide indeed is an eye opening experience for me as I’m still learning every now and then about the guiding world. The best part is I’ve met numerous numbers of people from all over the globe and it amazed me each and every time I get to know their culture and listen to their exciting stories. Given myself this one whole year of duration and it’s a never ending learning process. But I guess you just knew it whether something is suitable for you or not. But hell yeah those experiences were priceless. Lol. I think maybe it’s time to figure out what’s up next for the incoming year 2014.

My Vietnamese beauties. 

Year 2013 was also a year of 13th Malaysia's general election day where i got to carry my duty as a fellow Malaysian for the 1st time in my life. Although the results was not as expected but Malaysia has done it's best. I'm glad that Malaysian are still living in harmony and united as a nation despite which parties they belong to.

Because of work I’m now base in KL. I used to hate KualaLumpur as I thought I’m not welcomed here as every time I step in KL, I would start to have massive headache and I just can’t adapt to the hectic life in KL. But now, I think KL and I are cool together. We learnt to accept each other and it seems we’re doing just fine. I’m proudly declare myself as the train taking expert as that is my main mode of transport each time I go anywhere within their reach. Still remembering the first time I took my first LRT ride, I was like a dumbass searching my ways, worrying about the wrong direction I might be taking, and etc. And now, I get to know my way around the capital city of M’sia and I will still keep on venturing and exploring.

This year, indeed it’s not as fruitful as last year.  I didn’t really travel out of the country like I did last year. I did went in to Singapore twice, but that was also because I was there to send off my tourists there and I came right out after my job was done. So it didn't really count. Hopefully someday I would make a trip there and have a look for myself how Singapore looks like for real. Although I didn't manage to go out from the country but still I had an adventurous year domestically. Forget about all the tourism places of interest I brought my tourists to. But I myself had a great fun going to places and did activities I never done before. Went hiking at Broga Hill and Bukit Tabur was fun. Went to Sg.Gabai waterfall with friends was enjoyable. And other interesting places that took place in various locations nationally. haha

Last but not least, my year 2013 wouldn't be great without getting to know her. So grateful that she once appeared in my life and I shall cherish it all the time. So, I take this opportunity to thanked her and may she be well and happy.

So, end of my year end’s crap and I’ll make it simple. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year 2014 and lets bygone be bygones. Be grateful and be happy. We only live once, so make the full use of it. No regrets. See you all again!!!

(2^nd Dec 2013)
So, as I was walking my way to ‘Pasar Seni’ to catch the bus (GO KL) from Chinatown, I can't help myself noticing a long queue at a corner shop nearby. Out of curiosity I went to have a look and there it was, the ‘Home Cook Curry Vegetarian & Non-Vegetarian House’. Since I yet to have my breakfast (although its already near lunch time), I decided to stood in line together with the rest. It’s not so long of a wait before it was my turn to make my orders. And before I could start ordering, the Indian uncle looked at me and said :

uncle : This is your 1^st time here?
me : oh yes… I saw a queue here so I decided to check it out.
uncle : oh.. I know my regulars. This is the 1^st time I see u here too. So, what would u like to have? We have vegetarian, chicken curry, mutton curry...(and he goes on with his menu),
(after I made my order) uncle : enjoy ur food.

Lol, the Indian uncle is surely a friendly one. I had curry mutton with a little of beansprouts and they tasted nice. Although I’ve tried quite a number of good ‘nasi kandar’ around but what this particular curry rice has this homie cooked tasted which is soothing. Here are some pictures to share with you guys.

Till next time for my bloggie. Cheers folks!

I cant tell exactly where the location is, but its somewhere nearby the 'Pasar Seni' LRT station and its located in a corner inside a chinese shop. just opposite the 7/11 though. :) 

although its simple, but the queue tells it all the worthiness. haha 

this is what i had, mutton curry with beensprouts. alot of muttons though. it cost around RM7.00 for the rice and 60 cents for a glass of ice chinese tea.  

Broga Hill Expedition

Hello guys! Its been awhile right since my last post (probably half a year)? This time its not gonna be a long one from me too. Just that I really want to share my experience with you guys about my Broga Hill Expedition.

So, lets begin… it all happened on a fine Sunday early morning. (really early )… 14^th July 2013. After gathering, we finally set our destination to the famous local tourist attraction, the Brogal Hill located in Semenyih. Since its our 1^st time going to such place, we didn’t know the exact location of the place and we have to rely on the GPS to bring us there. Its actually quite easy as there were signboards along the road side once u reached Semenyih. A few more km after University of Nottingham, we were there already.

Cut the story short, we started trekking at 0500 in the morning. It was an easy hike as it doesn’t requires any difficult climbing. We finally made it to the so called ‘top’ at 0630. It was a less than 2 hours hike only. We had a magnificent view from the top and its just so beautiful. There were a lot of other hikers who already reached earlier and hanging around. The weather that day was super fine. Although it drizzling rain a little but most of the time its very windy and refreshing. We stopped and hang around at the top for quite long. Busy with photo taking and cam whoring. Lol.  

So, that is a short brief bout our Broga Hill experience… But for you guys out there who interested to conquer the hill urself… here is some friendly reminder or stuff I would like to share with you all..
1. Torch light / head torch
    if you are going early in the morning, its kinda dark and its safer to have a torch light to torch ur way up to the top. But no worries, if you really forget to bring ur torch light, there will be a lady who sell torch lights for visitors who wanted to hike the hill. (we ourselves bought 2 torch lights for RM10 each).
2. Good comfortable hiking shoe

its important to have a hiking shoe to ensure the comfort of ur feet when u hike up to the hill… if u don’t hv a hiking shoe, a pair of good bottom grip shoe also advisable as the track can be quite slippery. So, safety 1st.

3. Comfortable outfit

Its going to be a relaxing hike, so i would suggest to just wear something comfortable and easy to move around. its not going to be very cold so i would suggest to wear shorts instead of the long track bottom pants.
4. Drinking water / energy drinks
keep urself hydrated throughout the hike. Coz u guys gonna sweat a lot and its important to drink more water or energy drinks to keep you going.
5. Camera
of coz you don’t want to miss out the moment upon reaching to the top or taking pictures along the way. Beautiful scenery and memories together with friends hiking that hill must be captured. As we always said, leave nothing but foot prints, take nothing but pictures…

All the best and have fun folks!! So, here by enjoy some of the pics I took for you guys aite? Lol 

Some scenery pics. Nice view from the top

Here are some more pics .... :)

me standing on a rock. :)

Breakfast on the hill. yum... really hungry upon reaching to the top.

Hi folks!

the rest of the team

For this expedition, i went bought a new pair of hiking shoe. Just to ensure my comfort and safety. 

car park fee is charged if you gonna put ur vehicle in the oil palm plantation. RM2.00... not that bad.. its an income for the local community though.
