The Conquest of Broga Hill

Broga hill is located in Semenyih Selangor.

"Broga is unique in that it sits right on the border of both the states of Negri Sembilan and Selangor.Broga takes its name from the River Broga which runs through the area. The name Broga is believed to be derived from Buragas, a mythical beast that lives in the forest.The majority of those residing in Broga town are the Chinese. There is also a significant Orang Asli population whose village is located just outside Broga." - excerpts from Wikipedia.

well, get all the info you wnat ont he webs plus some gorgeous photos scattered all over the images webs. Now. Our trip.

Me and Adam begun our journey at 5.00am. The official convoy met up at Sunway toll heading towards Puchong at 5.30am. It was Sat, Feb 26th.2011.

We officially reached the foot of Broga Hill at around 6.45am. Well, i really forgot about the timing. We immediately started hiking after parking the car sesuka hati and paid RM2.00 per entrance. Keep the ticket as upon exiting the "park" some ah-so will peep into your car trying to find the ticket!!! aiyaa..

I had only a bun and Nescafe for breakfast.Big mistake. If it's not for Adam, i would have quuitted and happily waiting for them at the spot where we began. It was....a...very, very, very looooooooooong journey for me. I was gasping for air and holind on for dear life...that's ta bit too much isn't it..heheh..well, it was tiring due to my lack of stamina..

The hike took about 30-45mins and there will be people who walk (or crawl) very2 slowly, people who's taking a break in midlle of the trail and people who loves to see other people breathing heavily while the mouth is wide open..

The climb to the 1st lookout point.

On route to 2nd peak


Necessary chick. Unnecessary Grafitti.

The peak, is another story. The hill boasts of few lookout points and for me, there are 3 peaks to conquer (err..sound like Mt Everest, anyone?)..The toughest one will be the peak, the last Broga Hill peak and the beginning of the trail to Mt Tok Wan. We need to steer the rope and climb some slippery huge blocks of stones.

Sliding points..for the darevedils.

But..above all, the view is superb. Though me miss the sunrise it was suprising to see small kids climbing the hill on their 2nd, 3rd, 4th times! malu seyy..

so, my pointers are:

1. Pack light. Bring cikedis or roti or energy bar ONLY for that matter. Something to eat and replenishing energy while enjoying the view.

2. Drinks - bring your own OR buy from he stalls at the foot of the hill. Air kelapa, 100+, whatever nots. 2 bad they don;t have Nescafe.

3. Stamina:

45 mins BEFORE you begin, have at least 3 bananas - it contains potassium, a great source of energy. This tip is from a Marathon runner. hmmmpp...

4. wear comfortable shoes and attire. I lost my dear Mr Adi..cannot selamatkan already sebab i lost the other tapak..somewhere in Broga hill..sigh..

Hence, it's a trip that can be enjoyed by everyone. Take it slow. or Climb fast. Your choice.

But if you intends to catch the sunrise, you know what you have to do.

Happy Birthday Lin!!!!!

I've managed to find time and patience to do Lin's page. Totally original w/o referring any past work. yay for me. Happy Belated birthday lin. May u have a blessed journey and happy life. Aminnnnn.

My morning was painted with images of Nafisah changing her car tyre. You go girl!!! She sure has impressed many. Sempat lagik aku tangkap pix. miahahaha..w/o failure, i've also noticed the surroundings of Jalan Pengacara U1/48 which is serene and not traffic-jammed in the morning. Nice view. come 8.30 am, you cant even find a decent parking spot. The nearest one is just around the corner, technically speaking. at the corner there. Sometimes, the MBSA will come and ..dont know what they do. We do see summons being issued like, long time ago. But, we have no choice either. This is an industrial area and parking space is very2 limited.

As of last night, i have waged another war with Adam, my 7 year old son. His exam marks are, well, dissapointing. However, i did spare some of the punishments for him considering that he's only 7 years old and his life just "begun". I have to keep my words that if his marks is not satisfactory, only mommy can play PS2 or it will be put where he cant find it. The school holiday is 1-1/2 month (7 weeks) and my plan goes like this:

Week 1 & 2 : PS2 will be hidden (mommy also cannot play to avoid son being heartbroken). No outing, no waterfall, no C4/Giants trip, no swimming, no Cinema trip.

Week 3 & 4: PS2 remains hidden. (mommy can play) Swimming, Cinema, Picnic trips allowed. Plus Crash course in English (1 questionnaire for 1-2 days).

Week 5-7: ps2 allowed with friends. All trips allowed. Plus various questionnaires from various subjects.

God help me!!!

My version of Neuschwanstein Castle

Finally done...tadaaaaaaaaaaaaa............

...stuff!!! hence the title, this is gonna be a jumble of everything i have in my genius head at the moment... The event above was Hashim's birthday @ Aug 24th 08 @ Sek 6, SA. The food was nice and the majlis was brief and simple. Hilarious tho. For some people, befriending "soft people" or popularly known as pondan @ mak nyah is simply a sin. For a start, when a guy is soft in both the way he speaks and acts, it does not mean that he is ah kua @ pondan @ transsexual. Maybe he was simply born with it and there's nothing he can do to change it. No doubt that some of them (now becoming popular) has become full-time ah kua but it does not apply to the majority. I do concur that friends may shape who we become and hence may lead one to become whoever we may not intended to be. well, for the above bunch of people, i don't really take the idea that they're pondan!! some of them simply act like it because: 1. well, people will still they are becoz they're soft!! 2. to impress their friends. i know few of them who are happily married, left their drag show days behind, and are expecting a child!! But, they remain who they are, soft spoken, minus the make-up. Now, who are we, really, to judge these people? I strongly say that being a bisexual, transsexual (with the exception of Khunsa - dual gender) and even lesbian are against Islam and infact, every religion in the world (citation needed). but, to befriend them is not a sin. In my case, the forged friendship with some of this species has open up my eyes to the world, add colours to my life and definitely add varieties to my vocab!! Anyway, Sofiya was wearing the new dress daddy bought. I was and am impressed by his choice in under 5 minutes!! he could really express-shop!! on another subject ~ i have completed both world's wonders 1 & 2 and the above are my latest addition.

From aug

right: Sears tower, Chicago. easy. i've used the stapler for easy imagination of the height and width of the miniatures.

The tower has 108 stories as counted by standard methods, though the building owners count the main roof as 109 and the mechanical penthouse roof as 110. The distance to the roof is 1,454 feet (443 m), measured from the east entrance. Sears Tower was the world's tallest building from 1974 to 1998. - wikipedia.

left: Minato Mirai 21 , Yokohama , Japan. From the info on the packaging box of the puzzle, it is written hat it boasts the fastest elevator in the world, 45mph. wow!!!

Next, is non other than the Great wall of China, Beijing. since this is only a miniature, it is very2 mini and small. This time, i use the staples' box as comparison. very2 easy.

series of stone and earthen fortifications in China, built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 6th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire from Xiongnu attacks during the rule of successive dynasties. Several walls, referred to as the Great Wall of China, were built since the 5th century BC. The most famous is the wall built between 220–200 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang; little of it remains; it was much farther north than the current wall, which was built during the Ming Dynasty.^[2] The Great Wall stretches over approximately 6,400 km (4,000 miles)^[3] from Shanhaiguan in the east to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia, but stretches to over 6,700 km (4,160 miles) in total - wikipedia.

Mini Golden Gate bridge of San Fransisco. very2 easy. again, i se the staples' box instead of the stapler itself as comparison.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay onto the Pacific Ocean. As part of both U.S. Route 101 and State Route 1, it connects the city of San Francisco on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County. The Golden Gate Bridge had the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed in 1937 and has become an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco and California - wikipedia.

From aug

This is Gyeonghoeru Pavilion of Gyongbokkung Palace of Seoul. Level of difficulty: medium-more-towards-easy.


It is gazetted as (national treasure number 224), which stands in an artificial lotus lake, resting on 48 granite pillars. The pavilion is depicted on the 10,000 won Korean banknotes. Clearly, the manufacturer of the puzzle has made a mistake by stating that this is the Gyeongbok Palace (경복궁, Gyeongbokgung) (said to be the largest wooden architecture in Korea).

The bluish Eiffel Tower is a bonus i guessn a bigger size of the same miniature is already featured in Box 1 and in my earlier post.However, the small tower is waaayyyy harder to put together compared to the bigger one. Of course, the pieces are smaller and triangle foundation is especially a pain in the wutever.

From aug

my whole collections consists of Box No 1 (5 miniatures), Box No 2 (8 miniatures) and White House (single).

From aug

For the singles, i have done White house and in the midst of constructing below Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. 98 pcs in total !!! hope i can be done before Ramadhan is over. There are many more to build, i cant wait. Mimie (anndee) already expressed her willingness to be the next owner should i want to throw these away. hmmm..we'll c how it goes. at the moment, i'm displaying the pieces in my office and we already called the area as Exhibition Hall. I dont think i can put these at home. sofiya just cant wait to chew em and Adam is not interested. nmaybe later...

owhh...how i wish i have the capital to be their distributor.

...malas yg enak..

oh...selamat menyambur ramadhan al-mubarak. jangan membazir (selalunya berlaku) Jangan dok belasah semua bende yg ada kat pasar ramadhan tuh. aku? biasanya aku beli kuih je. itupun, kuih tradisional yg tak/susah nak jumpa masa2 lain. setakat karipap, popia tuh, aku takkan beli la. pastuh, kalau aku malas nak masak, aku beli sumthing for dinner. masa nih la berlaku pembaziran. sebab kdg2 bende yg dibeli untuk dinner tu lah yg takkan dimakan. klu ok lagi, bole makan untuk sahur. So, beringat2 la masa berbelanja.

2-3 hari nih, ahak memenatkan. Keje kat opis mmg takyah citer la. banyak. aku letih sket sebab minggu lepas ramailah plak org order kerepek untuk makan2 katanya. untuk raya, belum lagi. well, 4th Sept aku tutup order kerepek. so, agak2 kat opis tuh, bulan2 posa malas wat keje, aku ada projek nak wat. nak menyiapkan puzzle2 aku tuh. teringin gak nak jadik distibutor tapi takde fulus. Supplier @ Guangdong, China dah contact aku and agree nak bagi harge special + takyah minimum order of 40 cartons as usually applied to other customers. tapi..fulus tak mengizinkan la...tgkla camana...nah..aku dah siapkan Taj Mahal & Sydney Opera House.

Taj Mahal - puzzle version (miniature S)

Today, aku nampak satu iklan kat TV. Iklan perfume Hope & Bravo. Comel gile iklan tuh. first time, i dont resent Mawi and peminat Mawi takkan kena marah minah tuh sebab panggil mawi Neanderthal..haha...sirap...haha..the slang..cute...bravo. nice ad so far.

Not forgetting, last Fri was Murthy's last day in TW. I dont really work with him so i will bid him goodbye as fellow Valvian comrades.



aarrrgghh....rehat jap...

The white house - i made em!!!

Original view:


original view. where? washington laaaaaaaaaa @#@#@#@

going places

I spent a good 5-mornings (1-hour each) construction these magnificio monuments. I've always like puzzles, stuffs that i could assemble like Tamiya cars, and the above. These are made of some kind of Styrofoam and paper. There are 99pcs in total for all the 5 Mini Architecture Series: World Famous 1. No tools required, easy to assemble, educational and great deco items. Many people were saying that my son should be fiddling with these, not me!!! I dont care. I like em!!

The one on the left is Burj Al-Arab, Dubai, UAE. My first monument and i didn't know i had to be gentle...heheh. Anyway, some people mistook it for MENARA TELEKOM, BANGSAR. kahkahkah...It's the world's tallest and ONLY 7 star hotel. There are some emails flying around about Agassi playing Tennison the helipad. how true is it?

The one on the right is, well, what else, Petronas Twin Tower, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Also quite easy but fixing the "top floor" was a bit tricky. It;s the wrld's tallest twin-building.

Level of patience required: 6 out of 10.
Reason: there are some small parts/floors. The holes were non-even also.

Left: Eiffel Tower of Paris, France. It was built for Paris World Exposition held in 1889 to commemerate the 100th anniversary of French Revolution.

Right: Le Torre De Pisa / The Tower of Pisa / The Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy. It's the bell tower of he Cathedral. Construction began in August 1173 and cont (with 2 very2 long interuptions) for about 200 hundred years. The architect is still unknown.

Level of patience required: 2 out of 10.
Reason: Very2 easy to assemble.

This is not the London Bridge. Hokaaayyy!!! It's the Tower Bridge, a neighbour to the former. London Bridge used to have Tower but the modern one don't. It has stood over Thames River since 1894
Level of patience required: 8 out of 10.
Reason: there are some small parts/floors. The holes were non-even also. It's the Mini-MRR2. If u knw what i mean.
I felt i wanted to glue em together.

well, where to get those? I bought the box at a booth in front of KFC Restaurant, Carrefour, Subang Jaya at RM29.90 per box (5 monuments)

Im gonna look for the 2nd series. not even sure if they have it.

Now, where should i display all these?
