Batu Caves

I admitted that I don’t know many attraction places around town. I always stay in my cocoon. I’m a boring person to make friends with. Just recently I explored a bit and feel sooo good of being outside of my comfort zone. Me and family went to Batu Caves. If you were a tourist planning to visit Kuala Lumpur, make sure you include Batu Caves in your itinerary.     

The main attraction is the 42.7 meters of giant Golden statue of Lord Murugan & 272 steps to the Temple cave.

Batu Caves is a limestone hill that has a series of caves and cave temples. The cave is one of the most popular Hindu Shrine, dedicated to Lord Murugan. It’s the point for thousands of worshipers and tourists especially during Thaipusam.

Batu Caves consist of three main caves which are the Temple cave, Dark cave and Art Gallery cave. We begin our exploration at the Art Gallery cave, there were many statues and paintings about Hinduism displayed in this caves. As for Dark Cave, you can find the amazing stalactite and stalagmite formation here, unfortunately we didn’t make a tour because it was closed for public, climb up the 272 steeps leading us to the Dark cave and Temple Cave. Beware of the mischievous monkeys, they would steal your food or anything that could attract them. They were everywhere along the steeps. It was mesmerizing view of the city skyline from the top. 

This cave reminded me of the popular 80's TV series Airwolf.  

I'll share another attraction places around town on another series. Please stay around.

Happy Valentine day everyone! xoxo

Writers block

Writers block? Or merely lazy? Both can define my position for the past weeks. I have so many things in my head  but I don’t know where to begin or how to begin with. After spending a wonderful holiday at my homeland weeks ago I found it’s hard to get back to my regular routine. I have the urge to write, I came up with drafts that ended up flown to garbage. I admitted that I enjoy reading fellow bloggers page and giggle all the way for hours. Wow! That’s not impressive Susie!

The place I called home

Hello lovelies! How's your day been? Are you done with Christmas Shopping? It's been busier here in Kuala Lumpur, lots of traffic and people rushing and losing their mind for the last minute Christmas shopping. Despite of no snow the Christmas spirit was still very much alive here, dangling of Christmas decorations and Christmas songs were play everywhere. 

I'm relatively plodding at work this week, my interest went down to zilch. In few days time me and my family will be leaving to my homeland Sarawak (Borneo). I'll be totally unplug during the short holiday. I may see you again next year (It's sound so far away). I'll be away to the happiest place...... It's the place i called home, place that close to my heart. It's always hold special kind of feelings whenever we surrounded by our dear and loved one. It's a tradition for my family to get together with extended family to stay in touch, to count blessings over a good foods and lotsa of laugh.... So much to be grateful for, that mean so much to me. 

To my fellow reader, yeah! you! I hope you have a great holiday. Cheers! xoxo.    

Beautiful as happiness

I begin my day by saying gratitude to the almighty for granted me another year to live. I grow another year older today, perhaps wiser than yesterday. I took a moment to reflect on what life has made me become. Has my thinning hair grow in grey? Does my face has wrinkles? Does my bones gone brittle? I don't need to worried about all that. The inner soul is far more important than my physical appearance. Lately I realize that I had neglected to nurture happiness of mine. I smile to little, I have been irrelevant at some point. I felt sorry to my family for bring in the negative vibes.       

I don't know why but i still can't get over Paul Walker's death, I get misty eyes every time I read something on the death of him. He is kind charity man. It's give me a deeper perspective and increase perception on myself. I wanted to use the opportunity of Paul's life to built my own character to do good, be kind and nicer to others within my own capability with out being recognize. I feel that when we makes others happy the spirit will live within our soul especially when we were surrounded by family or loved one. How beautiful was that.

I would embrace life with positive attitude and be grateful for everything. I know for sure that I'll be the happiest person. 

  

Helping others is the spring of happiness

"Doing good and helping others, which comes from a selfless heart and kind thoughts towards others is the happiest thing of all"  

Early of last week the entire globe were shocked over the death of Paul Walker, he was best known for his role in The Fast & Furious movies. Such a tragic accident happened. I admire him ever since the first series of the movie, I’m not a big fan of fast car but there were something about him that keep me glued on the screen the entire movie. Later did I know that he is a huge charity man. It’s broke my heart to read that he died while attending a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide to help victims of Typhoon Haiyan. Ever since his death I read more heart wrenching and dramatic disclosure of his good deeds by his friends, fellow actors and acquaintance.

Few days later another news struck the world again, we lost another noble soul, Nelson Mandela. He has been receiving tributes from across the globe. He is such a great man. I don’t know them in person but I cried over their loss. They leave a legacy that inspired everyone all around the world.  

May you find comfort in loving memories.

Somehow i felt rather odd today, on whim i wrote this post, I absolutely have no idea what to write, one thing i know for sure that i'm the happiest, i had a great day today, I ended it with a blast of karaoke session with my family and niece. How was yours?
