Broga Hill



Finally, the plan from last year finally come true.

On the 15 Oct, Kam Hing and his house mates, Marcus, Alec , Jackie and his girlfriend, his girlfriend's pharmacy friends and me decided to conquer Broga Hill aka Bukit Lalang in Semenyih. It is a nice place for those who likes adventure. That's me of course. Lolx

We plan to depart on 5.00am, 4.30am have to wake up and prepare and it seems the ladies are always be the latecomers. We depart from our campus's research center at 5.30am to Broga. The entrance to the Broga Hill is very dark and I barely see my hand, we need torch light during the entire journey. It is quite dangerous since the road is quite dangerous and slippery. With the guide of our professional Broga Hill climber, Kam Hing (this is his seven-th time to Broga Hill), we manage to reach the first peak. The wind blows and we feel refreshed after the sweaty hardship we have gone through. So cool nia. So we all took a lot of pictures there, some cam whoring, some emo-ing, and we all waiting for the sun rise. The mighty sun rise slowly and the view is indescribable.

The saddest part is we have to go down after 7.30am since we the mechanical engineering students have class on 9.00am. If time is allowable, we might go to the other two peaks too. There's still always have the chance to go up there again. ^.^
So we went to Broga town to have our breakfast, rush back for shower and school.










Oh Shit?~ (definitely not written by me)






Gonna climb again next time, now they say gt 4 peaks!

Honoring Elders Day

4th Oct, today my temple held an special occasion: Honoring Elders Day. This is the occasion where a lot of elderly came to the temple to have a lunch while we the youths will perform programs to astonish the elderly. It's nice to see them happy and reflect what will happen to us when we grows old.

The Chinese people are known for their filial piety. But in these modern times when parents have only one or two children , the burden of supporting their aged parents lies squarely and heavily on them. It can be a very heavy burden as the children may not be able to give them a good life in return. The children of today have too many debts and many are living below the poverty levels or could not afford to take care of their aged parents who require more medical care and attentions. Some of those who could afford it , send them to those privately run senior citizens home.Some after paying a few months, simply abandoned them there. Those homes are caught in a fix. What if when we grows old, will our children do the same thing to us?

This remind me a story about "Wooden Bowl":

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and a four-year old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass often milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. "We must do something about grandfather," said the son. I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor. So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. Sometimes when the family glanced in grandfather's direction, he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence.

One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, "What are you making?" Just as sweetly, the boy responded, "Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up." The four-year-old smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.

For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled. Children are remarkably perceptive. Their eyes ever observe, their ears ever listen, and their minds ever process the messages they absorb. If they see us patiently provide a happy home atmosphere for family members, they will imitate that attitude for the rest of their lives. The wise parent realizes that every day that building blocks are being laid for the child's future.

Let us all be wise builders and role models. Take care of yourself, ... and those you love, ... today, and everyday!

Happy Moon Cake Festival 1

3th Oct, is kinda busy day for me. I had to go to my dad's company to do data entry so I did contribute to the company since I'm a little director of the company. After that I had to go Deng Bi An temple to eat lunch and fetch my little sister to school for her robotic class...why I don't have 1 of these activities in my childhood?? lol...was late for half an hour due to massive traffic jam from Jalan Ampang to MRR2.

After that, my dad bring me to Subang to test the second hand 1996 Iswara, which soon will be mine. Kinda satisfied with it since the car only sold for RM5.5k. It's cheap and need some touch-up to make it nicer. Of course need to change the radio player since in this era we wouldn't be using cassette player right?!
Today Doris held a birthday party in her house in Pandan Indah. I don't know why, but the traffic still jam all the way from Ukay to Pandan Indah..hmm..maybe the Chinese start to visit their family to celebrate Mid Autumn. I used around one and half hour to reach the bday girl's party. The food was nice and have a lot of chit chat with my friends. It's fun to hang out with friends and 'blow water'.

Well..this year is the 1st year where I didn't celebrate Mid Autumn Festival with my family. I used to play candles and lanterns with my cousins, eat moon cakes, riddles, drink Chinese tea. Since both my little brothers went to CTTB (in USA) to study, the house seems quite a lot. Well..at least my mum will bring my little sister to aunty's house for celebration.

It might be too late to put up this post and wishes, but I sincerely wish my readers a Happy Moon Cake aka mid autumn festival!!!!!
