Broga Hills

After seeing several photos and hearing a handful stories from friends and even on blogs – i finally hiked broga hills!

I must say I was not disappointed! It was generally an easy hike (compared to Bukit Tabur, Melawati), minus the fact that it had drizzled earlier in the day making the path a little slippery. I didn’t really take note of the time we started and ended, but all in all, hiking plus enjoying the scenery and cool fresh air, we took about slightly more than 2 hours?

One of the reasons why the hike took longer than what some of my friends had earlier quoted was because we started our hike at about 745am, at which at that point, there were already throngs of people coming down already. Basically, we experienced congestion at several points of the hike upwards. There were all sorts of people… we saw elderly folks (maybe in their late 50s?), a lady walking her dog (???) and even a little kiddo (probably 3 to 4 years old at most).

Anyway, that activity marks the end of a long and memorable weekend. For now, I’m just gonna get some much needed rest. And don’t even remind me tomorrow’s Monday! LOL!

Cheerio!

Love is…

“Love is like a bed of roses, there are many thorns.
The path to true happiness lies in learning to avoid the thorns,
while enjoying the roses.”

Life is…

FORREST GUMP

Interestingly, I’ve never watched Forrest Gump before…

Instant Noodles

Today was a day of sorts. I was out for breakfast at Coffee Bean Ampang before headed to Guitar Store Cheras to check out a Godin and a few Faridas (sweet!). This was followed by a search for Stevie Wonder’s latest – “Live at Last”. The search for that album took us to Leisure Mall Cheras to Pavillion KL. Sadly, no purchase made as the album was not to be found.

Anyway, I’m actually blogging about instant noodles today. Why? Coz while I was at Coffee Bean Ampang reading one of their free magazines, I came across a very interesting article/advert on Cintan’s latest – Nutri Noodles – 100% steam-cooked and air-dried, low in fat and cholesterol free, has less than 3g of fat, 7.5g of protein (equivalent to one egg), 362.5 mg of calcium (equivalent to eight tablespoons of milk powder) and… you get the point. To be honest, it sounds to healthy to be tasty! HAH! Anyway, I plan to give it a try – I mean, if it really does taste OK – it’d be a good substitute. I guess.

Well, having a late late Korean BBQ Lunch in Pavilion around 4pm, it was no surprise that I opted to have my favourite instant noodles for dinner – Myojo Spicy Noodles! Complete with vegetables and two slices of ham

Balding

Balding tyres are dangerous. I got into a minor accident recently because of it – yet, it took me almost a month to get it changed. Lucky for me, I didn’t have to spend too much to get mine changed – for a 2nd hand tyre in pretty good condition. Hopefully it’ll last me until I get my new car…

Hunger not of the belly kind

And hunger not of the belly kind, that’s banished with bacon and beans,
But the gnawing hunger of lonely men for a home and all that it means;
For a fireside far from the cares that are, four walls and a roof above;
But oh! so cramful of cosy joy, and crowned with a woman’s love.
