Berjaya Hills/ Colmar Tropicale

Visited this place last week. It was a really really last minute trip. And we only ended up here because our driver (aka dad) misunderstood mom's words. She wanted to go Bukit Tinggi, a small hillside village beside the highway on the way back from Kuantan for dinner but dad assumed she wanted to go Berjaya Hills. But it's all good =)

It's been years since we've been here and I have to say, nothing changed. Except for the addition of a Pusat Latihan Perumahan thingy and a mosque en route to the French village looking place (as shown in photo below). Oh and the buildings look kinda dilapidated. There are some renovation work going on. I mean, you can see the equipments required for renovation is there but you don't see the workers. Hmm...

Colmar Tropicale.

Cool weather (Not as cold as Genting though). Fresh but occasionally you smell horse poop. Haha.

Saw this knight armor in the hotel lobby and I couldn't resist taking a photo with it XD Reminds me of Alphonse Elric from Full Metal Alchemist.

Another thing about this trip is my mom keep talking about the swans that live there. She and my dad were commenting how just few years ago there were more swans. Now there are only 2 black swans and 3 white swans left =(

By the way, swans make this very cute noise but I forgot how it sounded like.

Personally, I don't think this place is a nice tourist attraction. It's kinda boring and too quiet if you come with your family. But if someone were to bring me bird watching over then I wouldn't mind =D In my short time there, I already saw few birds I don't see on un-hilly places. Nature =)

Didn't get to visit the Japanese Tea house and other tourist attractions there as it's getting kinda late and I'm cranky from feeling hungry. Haha.

Oh oh one more photo to show you. My brother looks so cute here =D

Oh and please ignore the stupid looking face of mine over there.

How I became a barista and how it's like working as one.

It surprises me that people still don't know what does 'barista' means. Barista is defined as ' a person whose job involves preparing and serving different types of coffee'. I was working as one for 5 months and basically, I make coffee and serve it to customers. It's my longest job to date, providing me something legal to do and earning some pocket money during my wait (still waiting for at time of writing. 9 months and counting.) (I'm putting the word 'legal' in because I'm still feeling a bit bitter about the fact that some of my friends actually took the opportunity to do illegal locum. Hey ho, that's people to you.) After my final professional examination (which was in August 2015), I told myself to enjoy my holidays but as usual, I got bored and restless and found myself a job as a research assistant. But it wasn't a satisfying job because: 1. I have to travel all the way to PJ on weekdays. 2. Get stuck in the jam for a total

SOULed OUT

I'm gonna talk about FOOD again! My favourite blogging topic muahahaha. I have other passions too but there are all pretty... Scientific? Haha they will bore you to death. So yea, food is the best topic to blog about =) Especially here in Malaysia food connects us all. I've only met a person who doesn't enjoy eating (WHY!?). She is weird (You know who you are haha) First, a HUGE cup of coffee to awaken your senses. My daddy always order a kopi O whenever possible. I think he fancies himself as a Kopi O connoisseur haha =3 But I keep my distance from coffee. Coffee makes me jittery and anxious. Even drinking tea makes my heart go on overdrive grr. Mummy has been wanting to visit SOULed OUT since awhile ago but we just didn't get around to visiting the place, until today. SOULed OUT has two branches but we went to the one in Sri Hartamas. Took us quite some time (and a lot of help from iPhone's Maps application) but we manage to find the place. The location

Cool air

Because nothing beats naturally cool weather =) Was up in Cameron Highlands last weekend. And on the way up we realised: My bro has car sickness. That aside, it was a very uneventful trip. My dad thought me something too! Have you ever seen step-like slopes along the roads that are cut out from the mountains? Those are known as... Ba... Err, I forgot. But you know what it is. Apparently according to Malaysian regulations, they must not be more than 6 per slope and each step must not be more than 6 meters high. But that's not the case for most of the slopes. Please, those slopes are SO high you cannot possibly limit the steps to only 6! So, like most Malaysian rules, it can be altered to suit the case. You know, altered. Anyway, engineering is fascinating =) Especially about airports! And my dad loves them too. I suspect I'm very much like my dad. When he loves something he will babble on and on and on about it, usually to a person who will not be listening to him at all. Ki
