Countdown to Peru - My Hiking Shoes

Selamat Hari Raya Adilfitri! Maaf, Zahir dan Batin.
Today is the 1st raya day to the muslim people and we have two days public holidays.

Six more days I will be leaving to Peru and I have yet to pack my luggage. :D

We are given a 'to bring' list for our packing. The most important thing is getting a pair of hiking shoes (an advise from those people who went last year). After did some researched on famous brand for hiking shoes as such The North Face, Columbia, Timberland. At last, I have decided this pair  ------>

With 30% discount, the shoes still need about RM400+. Not cheap though.

The 2nd Sunday

As I told before every 2nd Sunday of the month is my favourite day, 'recharged' day, fruitful day to me. It is once a month ACIM day, a gathering with a group of like-minded people.
The seminar is having at Bangunan Getah Asli, for those who have no idea where it is, it is right opposite KLCC.
The first keyword today is easy life no personal grow. OK.. it simply meant when we are too comfy into our comfort zone and not make any progress in it, then there is no added value in our life. We live life by constantly adding value in our life. By increasing value, it comes well reward also.
Like rice grain - the more value we are, the more humble we will be. In Malaysia, there is also a saying from the Malay community that 'Ikut resmi padi - semakin tunduk, semakin berisi"

The 2nd keyword is if you attached to something, caused you pain. Attachment caused pain and suffering because it's all about i, me, my. That's why we need to look beyond i, me, my, nothing is permanent.

If you cannot hear the voice of God, it is because you are not listening. This statement is derived from ACIM  book. If we substitute God = Love, then do we notice love is everywhere, because god is everywhere. So, be specific what we want in our life, what so ever we choose to create, we can have it, because God is good, god is no duality. Do something with goal in mind.!

The voice of Ego is LACK. 

See, these theories I may know already, however sometimes unconsciously being distracted by drama in life. ACIM day is a day to 'fine-tune' my 'engine', helping me to walk smoothly in daily life.

A wonderful day with Sis

Today is Selangor public holiday, my youngest sister said she would like to buy me lunch and brought me to Klang for bak kut teh. Haha.. universe is really great ah, I just thought of bak kut teh and wanted to have it one day, my sis already offered to buy me bak kut teh..

We stopped at the shop named "Fong Jiao" . Sis generously asked me to order the food I feel like to eat and my first choice is of cause go for the bak kut teh, and she added on a plate of fried vegetable and lala.

Superb food, I loveeeeeee the bak kut teh soup.

After lunch, we went to look see a soho unit in Subang. There are two agents so happen stationed there 'waiting' for potential buyers. The agent, Sean brought us to level 16 which is the highest floor. In short, the unit looks ok, but it might needs to do some renovation work. (which brand new unit doesn't right?) /wahaha

Then my enthusiastic sis wanted to show me a condo project in OUG which according to her is a good unit to consider but.. ...... yes but the area is congested with nearby buildings construction.  (I guess that are happening in all klang valley which so called prime location lar, new property projects mushrooming here and there).
However we ended up couldn't find the condo mentioned and took a route out from Bandar Kinrara headed back to LDP.

Along LDP there is another construction going on under Mah Sing group, my kind sis suggested to drop by and have a look. This projects are mixed development come with offices, retail shops, shopping mall and service apartments. Again, the service apartments come with  few layout options, the smallest unit with 1 room already sold out, and there are units for 2 rooms, 3 rooms, 3+1 rooms and 4 rooms. As usual, the showroom has fantastic interior design to attract buyers. /:p

Then we went around to look at the town-house at Tropicana and Sunway Park Ville, which one is more attracted to us? Of cause is the one which looks exclusive and surrounded by nice greenish view.

That's all my great time spent together with sis. Thank you , thank you....

Peacock Mandala

There was a Saturday afternoon when I drove home from One Utama shopping mall, my mind appeared a peacock, and the picture was very clear in my mind eyes.

At first I thought it was only for a temporary, the following days, peacock image kept appearing in mind. /sweat

Since I just bought a new art block, so might as well I draw it out as cover page of my mandala book and did a little research what are peacocks generally symbolise.

• Peacock represents immortality.
• In Buddhism, peacock symbolised wisdom.
• The peacock feathers represent renewal & 'the all seeing eye of God'
• Native American believed peacock a symbol of dignity, wholeness, and beauty.
• Peacock has the power of resurrection.
• It associated with goddess Lakshmi whi represents benevolence, patience, kindness, compassion, and good fortune.
• A guardian of royalty to Persian & Babylonia.
• Peacock eats poisonous with no ill effects, so it's symbolised they have the ability to thrive in the face of suffering.

The mandala was drawn on Feb'2012. /:D

Yellow Fever Jab

To have a yellow fever certificate is a must for us who visiting Peru / Bolivia. The certificate is one of the documents  in the 'must do' list sending out by the organiser.
Only a few hospitals in klang valley are authorised to give out yellow vaccine jab and one of the hospitals which has provided the service is TTMC at KLCC. I've called up the hospital intend to make an appointment and the receptionist said walk-in will do. OK! since they opened on Saturday till 6pm, I have decided to visit them today (Sat).
I reached TTMC quite early about 10am, surprisingly the hospital is quite a lot of patients. I have to wait about 45 minutes for my turns to see the doc. A very friendly and soft-spoken Dr.Azlina consult me, then give me the jab later. Initially I felt nervous when look and the needle, but doc made is nicely and not pain at all... (^.^)
Finally, everything is done and it costs me RM340.00 (not cheap though). I got the certificate too of coz.
Oh ya.. doc said the vaccine can last for 10 years!
/hmm with the charges, I shall fully utilised it.

p/s: I read in The Borneo Post that vaccine jab needed for who are visiting certain countries and the authorised hospital in klang valley have the jab services. Here is the link:

Missing in Action

Right... I admit I am missing for awhile.. there were too much to cope in the past 2 months until I 'purposely' forgotten to update my blog. Haha..

I've taken a long leaves to Egypt. Yes yes.. and now I am preparing for my next trip to Peru.. hurray..

The exact departure date will be on 25 August. Fast? yes.. time flies isn't it?

There are so much things to prepare because I heard a friend who had been there before already "warned" me that 'Fp, you need to use your soul to climb instead of using your physical body!!' 

Wow it sounds eerie soul walking.. hm.. how? gliding? 

Well well, It's too late to hold back now as full payments made, hotels booked, cloths and shoes bought, all necessary documents prepared and I have doctor appointment  to do yellow vaccine on this Saturday. 

So go with the flow lar...
