Maxis iPhone anyone?

Don't know if it is a good news or bad news. I just got to know that Maxis is launching iPhone in few days later and now is opening for booking. Good news is, finally iPhone has landed MY but the bad news is, Maxis is such a money sucker.

If you have a chance to take a glimpse to their website, you will find the 'special' rate plan for iPhone. I know they are trying to copy the market plan from other countries but when the currency exchanged in MY Ringgit, well in my opinion, it is a bit too far from the normal income group's ability. (At least for me I could not afford, but I am sure a lot of you are more than affordable)

Anyhow, as the overall plan for me still a bit ridiculous. How can you so sure that your phone can sustain for 2 years? Especially with the list that is longer than the rate plan. I doubt.

Yearly Family Vacation

Matta fair is coming soon again. Although it is economy down turn period but I believe many people will not stingy in planning for a Family Vacation for summer holiday. Same goes with my family; we have a tradition where we will try to make it at least one oversea trip per year. So far they have been to (because mostly I couldn’t join) SG, AU, HK, CN, KR and some other places I couldn't remembered.

This year, my Sis is planning to go Japan but due to the very high currency exchange rate the plan has draw back. Second choice, Taiwan. But Taiwan weather is changing drastically these days and we fear that the cold would 'overwhelming' and so we take it as plan B. So what's left? Maybe, I just say maybe I could suggest none Asia countries since all these while we never been out of Asia, it is good to open eyes and see the other side of the world. Yeah I know it will be super expensive. But by looking at the rate of karismahotels.com, somehow it is considerable.

Maybe the very first thing to do is to check out if there is any cheap or promo air fare from Matta fair?!

Broga Hill 3

The second round of the event was to climb waterfall, practically, it was the staircase, not the water. This was a very interesting journey for me, not because of the hike but it was the journey on the way to the waterfall. From this trip, finally I know where Nirvana memorial park is. But this is not the important part, what surprised me the most is along the same road we passed by not 1 but not less than 5 cemeteries

For dont know what reason, I felt super excited and have the urge to bring people tour around here. haha... Anyway, it was a amazing road (high way to hell?) and we spent about an hour just to hang around on a giant rock statued right in front of the shallow pond under the waterfall. Nothing much interesting here. As for the whole journey, here is my findings:

  • I can sleep for less than 2 hours at night and walk/climb around with my eyes open for the next 12 hours.
  • I found Semenyir was a very peaceful place but will be very busy during qing ming.
  • It took less than 30min from Sg Buloh to reach Semenyir silk highway second toll. Normal time: at very least 1 hour wihtout jam, peak: unsure...
  • I can sleep at the time where I normally crawl to back
  • I need to have more stamina trainings before the real KK trip, and that's why I am going Bukit dunno what neary TARC this Saturday.

Broga Hill 2

Yeah I know the title sounds like the horror movie - The hill have eye 2. Besides that, it also reminds the name of my colleague when I was still studying. He called himself as Kenny, with the surname 'Hew'. It was name after 'Kenny Hill', a famous RICH residential area. He told me perhaps he could be rich by naming himself with the 'sounds like' acronym. From that moment I already thought he is very ong gui. No offense to others with the same name and maybe I'm the one who is ong gui because he might have been rich and famous, just that I am not aware of...

Alright craps over. Let's continue the Broga Hill story, else I could not finish. We went up by 6am, the path was dark and we ant barely see the trail and glad that most of us brought torch light. The entire journey took us about 1.5 hours to reach the low peak. It has a flat ground with a very nice view. Although we are wearing T-shirt with sweats but I dont really feel a sense of coldness there. Probably my body is steaming just like an over haul car...

Snap snap snap, spent about an hour or 2 there, we head down back to the land. Regretted that I didnt walk up to the high peak but still, it's a nice walk. We came down by 9.30am and head to breakfast at the nearby char sat. After that, we drove about an hour for second round. Ok gotta stop here and split to part 3. Too long, not nice. KNS right? I know. Hahaa...

50flowers for Wedding

Sometimes I think I could become a wedding planner, especially after I have attended so many weddings (pre-ceremony, morning tea time and wedding dinner). In all my experience, I notice wedding flowers is the key success factor in order to make a successful wedding.

Say for a simple example, the first thing you walk into a wedding, what is the first thing you will be impressed other than the bride? The answer would definitely flowers. See how important it plays a role?

Of course, it's not all flowers suitable for wedding. But FiftyFlowers makes it easier for everyone. FiftyFlowers specializes in wedding flowers, especially for DIY brides, event planners and wedding coordinators. Most importantly, the flowers their distribute are guarantee fresh from flower grower farms. Imagine having a wedding in a rose farm, filling with the wonderful and natural fragrance. I'm sure that's not just a unforgettable wedding for you, but for your guest too.

Broga Hill

Because of the KK trip, I started my so called 'training'. First start with Broga Hill. Why? Thanks to the blogger world, the words spread rapidly and thus my colleagues and I are drawn by it. Not to mentioned the fascinating pictures published on those blog sites.

To make this happens, we woke up at 4am at Sat morning (YES 4AM! normally this is the time i crawl on bed, especially weekend like today) because of rushing for the sunrise. Then, I reached Kajang Silk Highway second toll at 5.15am as colleagues are waiting there. From here, we took around 15min to drive in broga and start the hunt.

Due to we never been there, we have to rely on one of my colleagues' cousin to lead the way. He is good as in he remembered the way. But the worse thing was that he led us all drove up the bumpy yellow mud road til the mid hill and we end up stuck in the middle. First time ever, I have a 4x4 expedition feels in the middle of dawn.

Suffer for half an hour directing the cars up and down, we finally managed to return to the bottom of the hill and park the car. By the time we started the journey, it's 6am. With many other hiker (which i believe they read the blog as well) went up together.

Ok, i wasted too much time here. Let's pause and continue after the paid post... muahaha...

KK Trip

It is impossible and incredible for a lazy chap like me signed up to this package. Back in few years ago, I will laugh at those who passionate about the climb to Mount Kota Kinablu for their stupidity. In my dictionary at that time, i wont understand why those fellas torturing themselves with these rough, tiring and exhausting trip. After all it is better to spend the money to Bali or Bangkok .

However, as age is growing older, my conscious starts telling me my health is in danger. This trip is not to overcome the mountain, but indeed give me an excuse to start staying healthy - by at least exercise. I know if i dont have this excuse, my body will never have a chance to work out.

So, that's how this trip comes about. I am looking forward for it. If i tell you i dont have the dream to climb to the peak. Well I am practically lying. Wish me luck, these may be my last few posts before i die suffocate there. Haha...
