i broga-ed myself

Image
broga hill, 20th January 2011. somewhere in the middle of jungle 1 hour from subang, there are hundreds of people rushing their way 4am to climb the broga hill. i was tricked into this adventure, not knowing anything about the broga hill. it was a trekking site and for your info, i'm not friends with jungle let alone trekking. different kind of adventure and experience to climb your way up to the top. one way to burn off your calories and exercise your mental strength. most of the time i wanted to give up, but it was the talk i had with my brain that kept me going. otherwise, i would have given up and waited somewhere in the jungle happily with my cigarettes. apart from the torturous journey i had, the view and company was awesome. the transition from night to day was weird but great. everyone should try and experience it once in their life time. glad to say that i've done that and i will never ever climb broga hill again. sekian, terima kasih.

january twothousandeleven: past 21 days has been awesome! despite the crazy workload i have, other parts of my life is starting to get better. favourite cousin is happily pregnant and i can't wait for her to deliver. breakfast with mum, dad, sister and brother at our usual roti canai hangout. weekly outing with the girls, wondermilkers, newly weds has been adventurous. tried out new places to chill. plan b, bangsar for dinner. the pesto was alright. i can do better. hahaha! g3 chocolate dessert is crazy! the best in town. nirwana, yong tau foo, and pappa rich the usual routine. nothing has changed, not even my appetite for banana leaf, wantan and white coffee. new addition this year would be the weekly visit to gold chilli. it has been there since forever but i don't think i've been there as often as i did these past few weeks. the boys i went to Penang with, my mum call them "the bodyguards". they seem to be addicted to gold chilli. catching up for dinner with my

wlm balance?

food i've been eating for the past week i love coffee! work-life-marriage balance? i wonder how my mom managed to work, have a life with her friends and be married for 27 years? from my (probably biased) observation, women are either: 1. successful in their career but no life and not married 2. successful in their career but have a life and divorced 3. successful in their career but have a life and single 4. not that successful in their career, have a life and happily married i am neither in those category. but in the next 5 years, where will i be? lately, colleagues have been coming up to me to share their domestic issues which i'll lend my fat shoulder to them all they want is someone to just listen of course i have no position to give advise given my status as someone who is single and hopeless in relationship partly because i gave up in understanding how opposite sex works i can barely understand myself, let alone to understand a totally opposite human being my point is, mo

testing testing! mic check 12 12 oppss! teehee.. using my new toy to blog. so just ignore me for a bit.. blogging with tab is no fun. anyway, its been 11 days since new year and i have not crafted my new year's resolution. not that i care or obsessed in achieving my goals but i just feel it is somehow a personal achievement if i get to strikethrough my resolution for this year. i figured out my new year's resolution while i was driving to work. some of the things i look forward to in two thousand eleven: 1. get myself closer to God. afterall, everything happens is written. i am grateful of what that was given from Him. the least i can do is obey Him. 2. of course, travel around the world. will start off with neighbouring country, then to places i've always wanted to go but never had the time or money. 3. open my boxy and paranoid mind be more friendly and helpful to other people 4. work-life balance. blurgh! i know i know. i've been working hard like a mad dog. i know i

twenty eleven

i'm taking a break from what i call work. been running around for the past 8 hours and now i can finally pause, but i have no idea what to write. oh, happy new year everyone! celebrated my twenty eleven in Penang. random road trip with bunch of random people from my cyberlife. the last time i hang out with them was probably in 2005 or 2006. after i finished my degree, we all went separate ways. occasionally catch up and meet up for dinner or coffee. then we would do our own thing for few months, then meet up again. so, a week before new year's eve we went out for dinner then randomly mentioned that we should hang out for new year's eve didn't know they were referring to hanging out in Penang. planned everything probably 3 days before new year's eve, and Friday we hit the road. that was how we came about celebrating twenty eleven in Penang. Penang was nice, as usual. food was okay, could have done better. disappointed cos i didn't get to eat nasi kandar beratur
