Berjaya Hills (Bukit Tinggi)

On our way back to PJ, we stopped by Berjaya Hills for a while. My 1.3L Avanza is capable to climb uphill, but not without hard engine roar and lowest gear ;)

We didn’t plan the trip, we hit the Japanese Village first, then Botanical Garden, then rabbit park, then Colmar Tropicale — and running dry on water.

The correct sequence should be going to Colmar Tropicale first (park the car there), then take the shuttle bus to Japanese Village and Botanical Garden, come back to Colmar Tropicale and exit to the rabbit park.

If you want to save some money, bring food and water there – we sat at one of the restaurants for a while, looked at the menu (price tag to be precise), and quickly moved. If you really want to save money, go there in the morning, exit to the rabbit park at noon, and try to sell your tickets half the price to the visitors there that is planning to go up the hill – the tickets are valid for a day pass.

If you have bored with Genting, this is one of the alternatives near by.
It is better than Bukit Fraser – at least you don’t have to climb that high, but be prepared to pay RM 16 for adult, RM 8 for kid above 4 yo.

Oh, maid is FOC.

Typical Chinese new year

Typical dinner at my old house.

Typical school scene: my girl and nephew Andrew

Typical pee: my son pee at his own pant, so he has been forced to walk home without pant.

Another boring skatch

First one is here. This one was sketched on Apple Preview, on a PDF file.
Again, I was answering a lengthly phone call while performing the sketch.

Three major outages in half a day

There are 3 major network outages at CyberJaya today, primary TMNet infrastructure.
The 3rd one last for a full hour. That’s quite unusual.

As our business is based around the net, such interruption, specially in the Monday morning is rather damaging to our ears — people cannot write email to us, so they use the phone.

Sometime I curious how Malaysian going to withstand natural disaster (which they have failed miserably in Johor flood) and keep the network up? We have floods at Johor, but there isn’t any flood water or earthquake in CyberJaya.

What does that mean? Maybe our people IS the disaster? Pathetic…
