Batu Caves

Had been thinking to visit Batu Caves donkey years ago, especially on Thaipusam but was always lazy. Decided to "exercise" at Batu Caves yesterday on the spur of the moment. So after breakfast, we headed to Batu Caves to challenge the steep flight of 272 steps!

Still smiling before climbing

The staircases are steep but the 272 steps are fairly shorter compared to a small hill.

We reached the cave at the top easily.

Batu Caves contains a lot of precious metal like limestone.

Like this picture quite much
as it is hard to capture a clear pic in dimmed surrounding.

Monkeys there grab whatever food in
visitors' hands.

We stayed there for around an hour as Alvin was attracted by the monkeys there. @@

We then made our way to National Zoo!

I think this is absolutely a great start for both of us to get rid of the sedentary lifestyle, and once again to make ourselves young and as fit as fiddle.

Filial Duty

While we are in the midst of pursuing our dreams, we always take people around us for granted, especially our parents. Like borrowing money from parents to get our first house, first car, first wife/husband, child, etc for tonnes of so-called reasons.

Every year around Chinese New Year, there will be advertisement from Petronas on filial duty. We are moved. Should we be sad because we know we are doing not well enough? Or should we be happy as we still have humanity heart to understand the the scene?

Sometimes I tend to pursue my dreams blindly until I stress up myself and people around me. While I still can blog this, I feel I should be grateful and glad as at least, I do halt and think again if I should still be doing so.

Take the time to play this game from Petronas to see how we are treating our parents. :)

Carrot and Stick

Updated... Updated...

I believe I am someone who buys the carrot-and-stick principle. So to make sure I can really reduce my weight to 52kg by July, I need to buy myself a bathroom scale tomorrow!

p/s: I will post how much I weight now and let you all drop jaw and break into laughter to laugh at how FAT I am. I think only in that way I can reduce weight!

Don't know why I am so heavy...
It was 57kg when I was back in Penang few days ago!

My dear brother's carrot-stick is really motivating! I must slim down!!!

Ex-ante and Ex-post

Don't know why I like CNY eve more than CNY, I like the busyness of preparation, the expectation to embrace the coming of new year.

However, don't know why I don't like days before vacation, but enjoy vacation so much.

A meal we cannot miss..

Happy New Year everyone!

Embarrassing Scene

World class airline does commit embarrassing mistake too. This was taken when the plane was taking off.

Vacation

I hope for a vacation. I kind of like our KLIA as it is far from my house. It gives me a feeling I can throw my troubles behind whenever I leave Malaysia. I think this is emotion turbulence. *Grin*

Work and Exam

"Outsource" a consultant from US based in HK to be my strategist in the coming big two exams. Get some very independent and useful view from him. Now I understand why consultants are so valuable. Hope everything will go smoothly. How I wish SOA allow us to take the two exams in one sitting. I really wish to gun both the papers down.

Started asking head hunters to match my profile with the suitable companies and job. Plan to work in Singapore. Will I make it? Should I leave after such a short period in Malaysia?
