I don't know what title to put...
Life has been going pretty okay so far. Everyday wake up, work, eat, work, go home, online, sleep. The same routine goes on and on. I would say I'm performing okay in pastry. Making breads, churning ice creams, making chocolate macaroons, some cakes, crepes and bavarois. Fuh, not easy but I'm learning day by day. Learn and learn and learn. Mistakes do happen, and what I need to learn is how to alter towards perfection (quote someone), well, nothing is perfect but at least it's going that way.
Aunt called in the midnight 3 days ago saying both her kids were admitted to the hospital suspecting influenza A. They were kept in the ICU. Blood sample were taken but results only will be out the next day. My god, terrified. The youngest one is not even 1 year old. Cried the whole night wondering what will happen. Read the newspaper about kids died due to h1n1. Argh, that's shitty! Dreaded the hours until evening and aunt smsed to say result was negative. Thank the lord. Quote someone, negative doesn't always mean something bad :) But they weren't allowed to leave the hospital just yet. Went and visit them on the 3rd day. The elder one is getting much better, already without the drip and jumping around. She said she likes the hospital bed =_=" cuz can use the remote to control up and down, front and back. The baby's lung is not too good. Kept crying when she sees the doctor or nurse. Aunt sms-ed me saying just after I left the doctor came and insert a 6-inch tube into her nose down her throat to suck out the phlegm. Oh my god, I couldn't imagine if I were there to see it.
Parents are away for 10 days for holiday in China with grandma and relatives. I seriously respect working mothers who can still maintain the house so clean and tidy, what's more including washing and ironing clothes. Respect.
Money not enough. Everything around me is seductive. Lomo, fish eye, slr lens, iphone, new laptop, nike, lumix zr3, chef's knife, and I need new pants!
I need a holiday. And now, I need some sleep. Tired. Night.

040410 Broga Hill + Klang Bak Kut Teh
04 April 2010
A desire arises in the mind. One will never be satisfied until its desire has been fulfilled. It's been some time since I heard and read about Broga Hill. Just a half hour drive there yet I've never heard of it until now.
Broga Hill, also known as Bukit Lalang （茅草山）[yes, the hilltops are filled with weeds], is located at Kampung Broga in Semenyih. Very near to Kajang and Seremban. And it's just a stone throw away from the expansive University of Nottingham.
Woke up at 4am+ to reach there in time for sunrise. Got lost in the way although I had directions with me. It rained on the way, so some part of our sporty spirit has been dampened thinking it will be cloudy and sunrise cannot be seen.
Reached at 6am+. The sky was still pitch black but many cars were already parked at the roadside of the way leading to the hill. You can either park at the roadside in front of the rabbit farm or inside the palm oil estate opposite the rabbit farm where u have to pay RM2.00. Walk through the palm oil estate and off you go up up and away!
The road up was ok, not to say very steep or muddy. With the place being so overrated, the steps have already been 'laid out' for you, but there are still certain challenging parts though.
It took us about 30 minutes to reach the first peak. Fuhh! It's been quite awhile since I did outdoors, luckily my stamina is still okay. By the time we reach halfway, the sky was already starting to get bright, hmm, kinda disappointed. Reach at 6am would be perfect.
There are a total of 4 peaks, according to the signboard it's 1.7km, but it was wayyyyyyyy more than 1.7km definitely! There were a lot of people up on the hilltop already when we reached, mostly avid photographers carrying all sorts brand of SLRs, we even saw two kids with their family who is so semangat-ed and keep saying 'majulah ke depan! jangan maju ke belakang!' Lol!
Well, although the sunrise was not the sunrise I expect it to be, it was nice to hike a bit and feel thenot-so fresh air breeze, and one will only be satisfied when there's good company to it :) Thanks peeps (YSS, YSY, YYR, CSY - how come all got Y one kekeke!)
Going down is tougher than going up. You need to be very careful, one slip and you'll end up being a squashed swiss roll. Kekeke. And you need to be careful cuz some 'monkeys' might bang into you when they 'drift' down the hill. And you still will end up being a squashed swiss roll.
Things to bring if you go for sunrise: Torchlight - a must (if you forgot, there's a stall selling it there), mosquito repellent (you can apply before you go), water, towel (if you have short fringe like me that irritates you at the forehead it helps a lot!), camera. And try not to wear black.
Directions to Broga Hill: Head towards Puchong, you will pass IOI Mall, Tesco on your right, follow Putrajaya/Kajang signboard. Pass RM1.60 toll, you will come to a fork where putrajaya/cyberjaya go straight and Kajang (exit 6A) turn left. So you follow the Kajang way (exit 6A). Go all the way straight. You will pass by exit 5, exit 4 and so on. Just go straight (follow Semenyih signboard). Then you will pass two RM1.00 toll. After the second RM1.00 toll, keep left at Jalan Semenyih.
Turn right at the traffic light. You will be on some small road similar to truck roads. You might be thinking you're already heading to Seremban or something but yes you're on the right track don't worry. After some while you will pass by Restoran 69 on your left. Then a Maybank on a row of shops on your right, and then a Petronas on your right (at the Petronas also got Maybank ATM). Turn left at the traffic light where you see the Petronas. Go all the way straight, you will be in total darkness if you go before sunrise. After quite some while, you will see University of Nottingham on your left, can't miss it. Go straight still, and you will see cars parked at the roadside. You will notice a rabbit farm on your right and on your left is the palm oil estate where the Broga Hill path is located. Warm up and let's go! :)
After that, we adjourned for breakfast! Another mission accomplished! Klang bak kut teh for breakfast! Woo hoo! From one end to another end. I slept in the car :p We went to Yap Eng Bak Kut Teh at Taman Sentosa, Klang. Soup BKT, Dry BKT, Otak Otak, yum! Although it's cooked the dry way but the meat is still so tender!
All squeeky clean! Typical chinese-lang, we all love to drink soup.
The bill came up to RM74 for 5 of us.
Directions for Yap Eng Bak Kut Teh: Using the Kesas highway, go towards Klang direction. Exit at the Kampung Jawa/Kampung Bukit Kemuning exit (turn right at the traffic light), go straight until you come to a roundabout and turn left (9 o'clock), go straight for about 1km I think then you will see Yap Eng BKT on your right (red signboard), just U-turn at the nearest junction and ta daa!

Broga Hill posting postpone 1st :p
060410
Today was grandpa's 1st year 'anniversary'. Took leave for this. Dad and I went for Cheng Beng for dad's side in the morning. Then went back to grandma's place for prayers in the afternoon. Surprisingly I didn't cry during the prayers, I'm amazed myself too. Grandma cried, for a couple of reasons. She's been a strong person throughout this whole year, guess she just can't hold on at that moment.
Didn't have much to do throughout the evening so my cousin and I went for a movie at MV. "Clash of the Titans". Nice. The casts were all so good looking and pretty. Gemma Arterton is hot! I like her. Even Medusa is pretty :p Then had dinner at grandma's again at night, everyone came. Dinner ended quite early, stayed for awhile and then we went home. All I can say is, things will never be the same again.
Couldn't sleep the night before, so sat up and wrote a letter for grandpa. Wonder if he's enjoying sightseeing around the world. Wonder if he's looking upon us from up above.
Someone said I have to learn to let go, then I won't be so down. Hmm, I guess I choose not to let go, because no matter it's a happy or sad memory, it means a lot to me. Precious ones. Be it just a meal at mamak or my 21st birthday celebration or whatsoever. Perhaps one day I will lose my memory, wouldn't remember a darn thing, or my friends and family. Gosh, that's scary, but doesn't mean it won't happen. Hmm, I need a ton of jokes to keep the emo-ness away.
-人生就是这样，往往会感到伤悲-
-it's not the same without you-

女生
对很多男生来说，女生只能用‘复杂’两个字来形容。
过度敏感，不够信任，爱耍脾气，野蛮，任性，不懂她们在想什么等等的。
对，我不否认的确有些女生是酱的，我也不明白这点。
可是我觉得男生也有同样的态度啊。
女生一直渴望的都是有安全感，有被爱护的感觉，
男生可以不懂女生在想什么，女生也一样啊。
男生天生自我中心很强，当男生脸色不好，问他们什么事时，却一句话都不说。
男生也很犹豫的，一时对你好，无端端就冷淡了。
也许男生和女生的爱情观不一样吧，所以要求的也很自然的有差别。
得到的也许不是所要求的。
要求的可能永远得不到。
真不明白你在想什么，可以告诉我吗？
～你是好人，也是个坏人～
