Broga Hill aka 茅草山

Broga Hill is located in Semenyih, 5 minutes drive from the University of Nottingham. You may refer to the University of Nottingham map in order to get to Broga Hill.

On Saturday 21st November 2009, we (people of 14) woke up early feeling enthusiastic to hike Broga Hill. We departed at 4.15 a.m. (after waiting for 30 mins for a pair of couple, didnt turn up at last) from our office at Damansara Uptown and reached Broga Hill at 5 a.m. Broga Hill is fondly called as Bukit Lalang (direct translation: Weed Hill) - as the hill is covered with weeds resembling an African Savannah. The hill is about 350 meter in height. No trees are found up there due to the hard ground - with rocks. The peak of the hill guarantees a scenic view of the Broga valley and a glimpse of Semenyih.

We parked our car by the roadside of the oil palm estate. The place must be quite popular as there were already few cars when we reached.

It's an easy hike- took us less than an hour to reach to the peak. The trail is beautiful with rhythmically swaying weeds. At some crossings, there are ropes to help you trek - the trail is slippery in the morning due to the mist - so, we had to be careful as not to fall off. At the first peak, we took a break to enjoy the cool morning breeze - absolutely refreshing and calming - a good place to de-stress - and the greenery is truly a feast to the eye. It's good to start off early - to enjoy the morning breeze and avoid the scorching afternoon sun.

We descended at about 8 a.m. using the same route. The trail of the 3rd peak was actually quite steep and slippery due to the sandy soils. So we actually semi-slided down since it’s easier to slide.

Directions from K.L: Follow the signboard to Sg. Besi - Kajang - Semenyih. Once you reach Semenyih, make a left turn about 2 km away from the town centre - heading towards Nottingham University Malaysia campus. Continue from the University's main road till you come across a Rabbit Farm on your right. Park at the opening of the palm oil plantation. When we reached the palm oil plantation, we were baffled at the number of cars parked at the roadside - we didn't expect to see that many people . On a hindsight, it's good to see families with children waking up early for hiking - a healthy and active lifestyle.

Wedding Dress by Tae Yang

Why?? Why do I have to cry still even if I already know what's going to happen? Taeyang... Poor Baebe... The story was good although it's predictable but it was still good. The other guy keeps on appearing every time YB is with the girl he likes while they're having so much fun, even on the day where's going to confess/propose. Ahh. The pain that you've been holding for so long, even at the end, you haven't let it go.

Translation
Some say it’s not over ‘till it’s over
Guess this is really over now
There’s something I gotta say before I let you go
Listen

When you have a fight with him
Sometimes you cry
And feel sad and blue
I become hopeful
My heart aches secretly
Then just a hint of your smile
Can make feel fine again
To keep you from figuring out how I feel about you
Coz then we would drift apart
I hold my breath, bite my lips
Oh, please leave him and come to me

Baby, please don’t take his hand
Coz you should be my lady
I’ve been waiting for you for so long
Please look at me now

When the music starts
You will vow to spend
The rest of your life with him
How I prayed every night
This day would never come

The wedding dress you’re wearing
It’s not me (next to you)
Oh, the wedding dress you’re wearing, oh, no

You never knew how I felt about you
And I hated you so
Sometimes I wished you would be unhappy

Now I have no more tears left to cry
When I’m by myself I talk to you like you’re here
I’ve felt so restless every night
Maybe I’ve known all along this would happen
I close my eyes and dream an endless dream
Please leave him and come to me

Baby, don’t take his hand when he comes to you
Coz you should be my lady
I’ve been waiting for you for so long
Look at me now

When the music starts
You will vow to spend
The rest of your life with him
How I prayed every night
This day would never come

The wedding dress you’re wearing
It’s not me (next to you)
Oh, the wedding dress you’re wearing, oh, no

Please be happy with him
So that I can forget you
Please forget how miserable I looked
It’s going to be unbearably hard for me
For a long while to come

Witch Amusement / Witch Yoo Hee / A Witch in Love

I finished another great drama this week. Hmm, i would give a A+ for this drama, I like this drama.

English Title: Witch Amusement / Witch Yoo Hee / A Witch in Love
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Episodes: 16
Broadcast network: SBS
Broadcast period: 2007-Mar-21 to 2007-May-10

Theme Song: Oon myung eh jang nan by MC Jinri (feat. HaHa)
Insert Song: If by Jun Hye Bin



Synopsis:

Ma Yoo-hee is the executive of an advertising company. She would never be caught dead wearing make-up and only ever wears black. Her hairstyle and glasses are severe, her only enjoyment in life appears to be the times when she's criticizing everything and anyone. All of her employees and co-workers fear her and she is constantly talked about when shes not around. Her stern and harsh nature has earned her the nickname 'witch' When it comes to romance she is hopeless. No matter how many blind dates she has, not one has ever led to a second. The reason for this is her negativity and her inability to loosen up and express herself. She however is completely oblivious of her faults and cannot comprehend why she is so bad when it comes to love.

Choi Mu-ryong is an aspiring chef with a passion for French cuisine. He has an innate ability when it comes to taste and perfection. Every piece of food and every plate he prepares must be perfect. However this tends to get him into a lot of trouble as when working in a kitchen every moment counts and there is not possibly enough time to take so much care in preparation and decoration of meals. His criticism of a head chefs cooking causes him to lose his job. His parents have never really approved of his aspirations and dreams to be a famous chef and insist he return to medical school. He decides to enroll back into medical school but changes his mind at the last minute and decides not to.

Mu-ryong discusses everything with his best friend and ends up going on a blind date to pretend to be someone else who backed out at the last minute. He declines at first since he already has a girlfriend, but his friend offers him money, and warns him however that the woman he will be meeting is rather different.

The woman he meets is Yoo-hee, and while under normal circumstances she would be rude, brash and boring, she tries to be nice and happy in an attempt to succeed on the date. However, her pretending is not very convincing and Mu-ryong figures that it would be a matter of time before she loses it. The date ends when Mu-ryong falls asleep for a moment, resulting in Yoo-hee throwing a glass of water at his face and calling him rude. He retorts back to her also, telling her to take care of her appearance the next time she goes on a blind date. The two then leave on bad terms.

While delivering food from his father's Chinese restaurant, Mu-ryong becomes involved in an car accident, coincidentally with Yoo-hee. They exchange insurance information and Yoo-hee learns that he lied to her on their date, realizing that his name is different, he is a year younger than her, and that he met her only as a favor to a friend.

Yoo-hee demands the money for the damage to her car to be paid within a week. However, Mu-ryong doesn't have any money, and yet Yoo-hee is unwilling to compromise with him. He decides to use his school tuition, which was given to him by his parents, to pay for her car. However, he loses the money after being mugged on the way to pay her.

Mu-ryong tells Yoo-hee he doesn't have the money but is willing to work it off, no matter how long it takes or what he must do for her to pay her back. Yoo-hee decides that Mu-ryong could repay her by working as her house keeper, since she continuously looses her previous keepers.

Meanwhile, Mu-ryong's girlfriend Seung-mi, who works at her father's restaurant, is expecting a new head chef: Johnny Kruger, a world renowned chef, who also happens to be Mu-ryong's idol and an acquaintance of Yoo-hee as well.

Beethoven Virus - 貝多芬病毒

Another cool drama to introduce here in my blog. I give a 100% credit to the lead actor Kim Myung Min for his superb acting in the Beethoven Virus.

Beethoven Virus (베토벤 바이러스) is a 2008 MBC TV drama in Korea. It was screened Monday to Friday nights on 8tv. This show drew attention for being the first drama to depict the lives of classical musicians and orchestra in Korea.

Synopsis
Kang Gun Woo is a world renowned orchestra maestro who is a perfectionist in his work. He is not an easy person to work with and is fear by all his players. By chance, he comes across Du Ru Mi, a violinist, and a young cop who has the same name as his and discovers that even without formal training, the young Kang is a music genius. The three soon get tangled in a love triangle.

Main Characters
Kang Gun-woo / Kang Ma-Eh (Maestro Kang)

Portrayed by Kim Myung Min, Kang Gun-woo is an orchestra conductor who's a single forty year old man that lives with a dog named Thoven. He is very talented and famous for his excellent skills in music. Counductor Kang feels that classical music is for the nobility and to play the noble classics, the talent of players should be brilliant. Because he believes in this, he insults many musicians who do not match his perfection in music.
He is notorious for his aggressiveness and sharp tongue. His nickname is ‘orchestra killer’. His personality is mostly written in his face when he encounters trouble and he smirks to show he isn't weak. He is scared of his emotions and it is explained in the drama when many people come up to him to tell him that he is an upright rude man. His personality depends on his emotions because he's alone and too scared for his emotions and cannot bear to tell the truth. The reason that he has spent most of his time overseas is because he had once refused to perform in front of a large audience, including the president.In a word, he is an elitist.

Du Ru-mi

Portrayed by Lee Ji-ah, Du Ru-mi is the concert mistress of the project orchestra. Despite her delicate appearance, she is actually hot-tempered, up-and-down, and optimistic about everything.Her headache and tinnitus are the symptom of Ménière's disease, which will cause hearing loss. Now, she has a resolute goal to perform on stage.

Kang Gun-woo

Portrayed by Jang Geun-suk, Kang Gun-woo is a traffic officer with a strong sense of justice. To help a pregnant woman get to the hospital, he moves a car by crashing it into another car, which causes him to be suspended from his position.Even though he cannot read music, he has a natural talent for playing the trumpet and for music itself. The project orchestra that he joins through Ru-mi’s recommendation gives him an opportunity to open his eyes and ears to music and conducting.

Nescafe 3 in 1

Nescafe 3 in 1 CAN DAMAGE YOUR KIDNEY AND HEART

Try to avoid Nescafe cause its can damage your kidney & heart.
The reason is due to Nescafe 3 in 1 using non dairy creamer.(chemical creamer)

Sharing is caring.

Dear Friends,

I strongly agree on these issues because it happened to one of myfriends in HSS Integrated Consultant. He is now under dialysistreatment for every 3 days Now its been already 9 years he is sufferingwith this kidney problem. The doctor said, the main cause is:

1. Breakfast with Nescafe
2. 10am break with Nescafe
3. Lunch with Nescafe ais
4. Afternoon break also with Nescafe.
5. Night supper with Nescafe.

So, hope for best for those who still love Nescafe.
