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.

PS: Check out this blog post by Xiaxue. Love her unreserved way of talking/blogging =) It may get her in trouble sometimes but it's why we enjoy reading her blog too XD

Solo Travel is WAY overrated.

Across the Internet, you see people gush on and on about the wonders of solo travel. Don't believe me? Here are the many examples: 1. From a travel website. A truly liberating experience:  Solo travel is one of most liberating experiences on the planet - you’ve got no responsibilities to anybody but yourself, you can do what you want and leave when you like, and the buzz you get from the sense of freedom is immense. 2, A quote within a nice photo: (PS: I did travel alone and it was way lonelier than I expected) 3. Another quote: Inspired by this, I planned a solo trip to Cambodia. Initially, I was even more ambitious and planned a SEA solo trip- Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and maybe even the Philippines. Obviously, that didn't turn out as plan and I settled with Cambodia only. That was the best decision I made with regards to my trip planning. I am so grateful I didn't have to go through the horror of travelling ALONE. Haha ok ...

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...

Reminiscing brought me back here.

I was wondering what happened to few years back and remember the fact that I actually had multiple blogs back in the days. I actually still have a few blogs running but they are all privatised (For my eyes only) and this is the only true blog I have. I actually still have a semi-active Tumblr account, Twitter and (gasp) Instagram which are updated almost daily and let's not forget Facebook. Other than my 8 hour daily sleep, you will definitely find me on Facebook. Like I was saying, I was reminiscing about back in the days and checked back in this blog. And it made it sad I didn't keep it updated. Hindsight is witch. It is always telling me things I should have done and THIS (blogging) is also one of the things I should have been more active in. Actively blogging would have helped me record down what I did on a daily or weekly basis. In fact, it would have helped me in my book writing about my 5 years in dental school. I'm pretty serious here. During my final year, I to...
