normally din join him cos' he & his friends seem professional hikers
hiking all the mountains & hills which is not easy

this time he said "in & out" take about 2 to 3 hours...
so i think is not difficult as what he hike before
so take this oppurtunity to try the new place

wow......really nice view....fresh air....adventurous
where some place really dangerous & exciting.....
cos' is rainy seasons...some places are soft....n muddy....
have to be careful..& better wear hiking shoes...
otherwise u may fall down very easily....
i'm not wearing the correct shoe....i wear running shoe....
i really fall down few times....ai......
this hiking really not easy...not as easy as "broga hill, saga hill,ah pek hill"...
not only hiking just by normal walking...but u have to climb by both of your hand...
we din prepare anything...so just climb by empty hair without gloove...
my hands are pain....got some place where you have to hold the rope so tight to climb up to uppper level...
the sunshine....the rock...the bush....the twig.....the dam....genting highland...
wow...unbelievable...we saw "Genting Highland" so obvious.....
& the nice dam view....housing area.....
the "carpet grass"...i named it by myself...cos it really comfortable like carpet...
so green.....cutie....comfortable...
hehheheh.....it do take many efforts lo...
climb up to top....sweating....clothes are dirt with mud....
some more after reach the top....
finally have to follow back the same route to back home....
my hands & legs are hurt...my muscle are pain.....
already pass five days...but can feel that my palm still feel a little pain...
hahhahaha....use too much of effort during climbing i think....
reserve some energy...this sunday morning will go for last marathon of the year 2010.........ganbadei!!!

Beautiful rhythm of yangqin

jiu jiu just bought a new yangqin from Hong Kong(HK)
according to jiu jiu, this yangqin cost about HKD3,000++
that mean about RM1,500++, but if they export yangqin from HK to Malaysia(business)
they will charged about RM3,000++....
so it still consider cheap if compare buying the same yangqin with this quality
jiumu seem very interesting in learning yangqin
she playing few famous chinese songs for me....
two of them which i can remember is "zhuo ying toi" & "dai lui fa"

some useful information from website wikipedia
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yangqin"
the yangqin is a type of hammered dulcimer, it shares many elements of construction with other instruments in the hammered dulcimer family:
-Bridges
-strings
-hammers (made of flexible bamboo, and one end is half covered by rubber)
-cylindrical metal Nuts

Batu Caves

information from >>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batu_Caves

Batu Caves is a limestone hill, which has a series of caves and cave temples, located in Gombak district, 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It takes its name from the Sungai Batu or Batu River, which flows past the hill. Batu Caves is also the name of the nearby village.

The cave is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India, dedicated to Lord Murugan. It is the focal point of Hindu festival of Thaipusam in Malaysia.

Standing at 42.7 meter (140.09 ft) high, the world's tallest statue of Murugan, a Hindu deity, is located outside Batu Caves, near the city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The statue, which cost approximately Rupees 24 million, is made of 1550 cubic metres of concrete, 250 tonnes of steel bars and 300 litres of gold paint brought in from neighboring Thailand.

long long time didn't go to batu caves,
take this opportunity after went for dim sum breakfast
then we go directly to Batu Caves which nearby Kepong
for me...seem take a great effort only can reach the top cave
in my memories when i was just a little gal
take a long time to reach the top
but then this time just take 5 minutes to reach the top
unbelievable ....hehehhehe....maybe that time is a kid...
but now is an adult....
can really see a great view from the top....
i saw some ppls sweating running up & down the staircase
maybe they are training for their upcoming mountainering for Kota Kinabalu
or marathon perhaps....
for just one way up & down did not take so much of effort & sweating....

Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery.

well....this is a my first time going to cinema by myself...
watching movie alone....wow....the feel was just...i can't explain...
i feel so brave ya....something different...something new....something special for myself.....
come accross this trailer before...just wanna to watch it cos' i can feel the similarity of both.....

this year i been travel to China & Macau with my family.....
came accross a lot of new things for me.....different culture between bountry
why i'm choosing China & Macau....
cos' my family are more familiar with the chinese culture, chinese foods & drinks...
rather than others...like Vietnam & Cambodia...
previously i thinking to go Vietnam & Cambodia too...
seem a little bit adventures & budget trip
but i think not suitable for my parents cos' need to walk so long from one distance to anothers & my mum requested not to go sea, lake & mountain....
so the best is to find a place where suit to their needs lo....
going for trip by group have to meet everyone needs & aims....
mutual agreement & cooperation also seem important...
otherwise during trip may found arguement or waiting....
I feel so sweet can go trip along with family members
(except gege & sister in law cos they are abroad)
this is consider the first time also......

Then in the middle of Apr'10, i go to india for praying with friends....
the power of prayer in India(just like wat liz in India in the movie)
the enligtenment i gain day by day there
doing some charity & volunteer works there
praying for a peaceful mind

some really beautiful words along the movie...
"praying with a smile on your face,your mind, your heart & your liver"
"forgive others = forgive yourself"
"we always want to find a balance between ourself, but sometimes you will lost yourself because of something....if it worth, lets just cross all over"
"To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life"
"Losing balance of love, is part of living balance in life..."

While after that is Japan, going there for business purpose
another chance to expose myself to a very high tech,clean & strict rules country
well....for me Japan seem far different from Malaysia
They have convenient transportation...everyone using public transport, mostly by train.....the road are clean & clear...no choas, no jam, no polluted
They have vending machine everywhere....whenever back street or main street or even inside the train station
The standard living is high compare to others....the cheapest also need about 300 yen about RM10.....

For the first time, i have guts to do laser on my both eyes...
no need to wear spec.anymore without hassle.....hehhehehe...

Sometimes you found yourself lost in the middle of the jungle
please don't be afraid....
try some new different things by yourself
sometimes alone never seem to be afraid...
you have to confront yourself.....
treat yourself better...love yourself....forgive yourself...
just like wat liz in the movie
