I love the greens in Ulu Langat

I woke up on Sunday morning with nothing in plan for the weekend. The only agenda for the day, is to complete my analysis and 16 different pie charts of assignment.

Hell!!

Thats really a lot of "pies" in a day
16 pie chart!

Anyway, mom made my Sunday evening a good one. She made a plan to her friend's orchard in Ulu Langat. Being her obedient daughter and ever-ready driver.I drove mommy and her friend up to Ulu Langat town where we meet up with the owner of the orchard, Uncle Soon.


With no way a Kenari car can go thru mud and hills.
We took a 4-WD into the orchard.
The road is real bumpy... Bump you backside up and down

Breath-taking scenery makes all pie a worthy pies...
I'm willing to stay here forever...

Ehm.. i mean for the sem-break....kekek

Meet Mr. Rambutan.



Mr. Jack.






If you notice the amount of newspaper in the background, its all Mr. Jackfruit.

A tree could easily bear more than 20 mini-Jack and there's hundreds of such tree.

Its a huge orchard which walking from one end to another takes more than 30mins.

This stacks of Mr. Jack cost RM400. Its usually sold to "goreng pisang" stalls.





Besides the uncountable number of trees in the orchard. There's a pond of fishes. And when i said fishes, its really lotsa lotsa fishes. Uncle Soon rare them and fish them during his past-time with friends. Its such a WHOA!!!thing telling people, I fish at my own pond!! I mean, how many of us own such a fish pond in KL?? not man-made ponds




Our harvest got hook!




I love this pix. Guess who's holding the camera??
Its my mom!! Not a bad camera-woman who only operate the camera like once in a year!!




Mom looking so afraid of the fish =D

Cheerio pix...




Fish feeding with chicken intestines.

Four fishes a day makes a happy =)

Other than just plucking fruits and fishing in this orchard. We catch birds!!! Beautiful birds that you can rarely see nowhere in KL city!! Life in orchard is so wonderful!!

~

Peaceful and serene.
Chirping of the birds are just so soothing.............

Isn't it beautiful??

My Dream Book =D

Two weeks back i heard an ad from the radio. Its bout a guy who cycled all the way back from Los Angeles, California to Malaysia. At the beginning, i thought its just any other random ad from the radio but it wasn't, at least to me. There maybe some variation in the words but the content goes the same like this :

" Everyone wants to do something extraordinary, but the thought of doing it often lasted for a moment of time and the next thing before you know, you might have just forgotten the dreams that you have thought of"

This sentence really rings a bell in me, I'm sure everyone have some or at least one extraordinary thing (dream) that each of us want to achieve in life. I'm not sure how many you have, but i know i have quite a number of it. Dreams that I've been pondering. Dreams that i would want to achieve in my life. Dreams that i want to put into reality besides pondering. And one that i have, is to further my studies in UK in June 2009.

In my definition, dreams are something that we could place no where but in our memories. Dreams are something that make us no regret in the end of our life. Dreams are something that makes us smile when we recall them at old age. Dreams are something which we can tell others, "I've done it!!"

Some dreams maybe cheap. Some dreams are expensive. No matter what dreams it is, one thing for certain it always comes with a cost, be it in terms of monetary, physically or mentally. Probably, these cost are the essential recipe to make a dream worth achieving and drive us feeling proud in doing it.

I truly believe the most crucial element in achieving our dreams is the 1st step of it. And today, I've decided to start something new. My 1st step closer to my dreams. That is to start:
MY DREAM BOOK!



This would be a book that record all my dreams that i want to put into reality.
A book that would make me work hard and know why.




This is a birthday gift from Precious Moments. I used to write my thoughts in this book which most of it are bitter ones. But for now onwards, its still will be my thoughts that I'm going to write in, but this time it will be my thoughts of achieving dreams.



To the bin it goes for the bad memories.


Why keep the bad when there's plenty of good ones awaiting for me =)

Crystal Mosque, Kuala Terengganu

Terengganu, known as the historical state of Islam.

Quite a number of mosque can be found in this state.

Thus, visiting Terengganu and not visiting a mosque is not a visit to Terengganu =p



The Crystal Mosque.




Chandelier, hanging in the middle of the hall.




All ladies smile at the entrance.

In order to enter the most for non-Muslim.
One has to "tutup aurat" (no-body-exposure)
No worries for entrance fee and rental of clothing, its all F.O.C



Admiring the art of architecture???

Although the mosque is named as Crystal Mosque, the glasses doesn't seems to be made of crystal. Its more of tinted glass i guess. Correct me if im wrong?






Snaps in the mosque.











Apparently, this is how the mosque looks at night.
Unfortunately, I did not manage to view it, as i were to catch a bus back to KL.
