Oranges and Calcium

Funny just strolling at the mall, one can end up buying something.  I did not intend to shop anything today. My visit to the mall was just to settle my utility bill at the post office which was inside the mall. As I made my way down the escalator I  passed by some stall which was having some promotion  and one of the stall was promoting vitamin c. The sales girl was offering sample drink of the vitamin and since I was offered it was not polite to turn down the offer. Soon she started talking the benefit of the products and before I  knew it I was at the counter with a pack. Maybe I am just too soft and does not know how to say no.  Anyway I would not say it was a waste of money as I had intended to buy this product after hearing it so often on air. It is call Ca-C 1000 sandoz. It is suppose to be a combination of vitamin c and calcium in a single effervescent tablet, which means we do not have to take two different kind of tablet. Accordingly to the  flyer I received each tablet contains the equivalent of 17 oranges and one glass of milk.  It is so easy to take just drop one tablet into a cup of water and drink it down.  I hate taking tablet and pills so this suite me fine. Since I am at the gym most of the time and the classes I attended are in an enclosed area and without ventilation, one is bound to catch a flu easily in that kind of environment.  It is better to play safe,so I am taking my vitamin c daily to built my resistant. It's no fun having a running nose.

Another Trip to Tabur West.

I Cannot remember when it was that I first  hike at Tabur West,however I had revisited Tabur East just two weeks ago. My account can be found here.  Today , I had another memorable and fun hike at Tabur West.
A friend whom I had met on an earlier hike at Tabur East was suppose to lead a team of keen hikers to the other side of Tabur, but at the last minute she could not make it and have given my telephone number to a friend who was to take over her role. I arrived early this morning, as I always do, at our prearranged meeting place, which was a mamak restaurant nearby. At the agreed time all the hikers turn up plus a few new faces. We quickly introduced ourselves and make our way to our destination. As most of them have never been to this side of the mountain, I volunteer to direct them and they followed  from behind. Within a few minutes  we arrived at a place which looks familiar. As soon as I saw the water pipe along the road, I knew we had arrived at the wrong destination. Apparently I must have input the wrong coordination on my gsp.Luckily another girl had also brought along her gsp  with the correct coordination, we arrived at the entrance leading to Tabur West.
Somehow each time whenever we revisit a place it seems much earlier than the first time .Even the trails which   was very challenging appear to be easy the second time round. Today's  trip consist of 8 persons including me .I found this group of hikers had a very good attitude, they were willing to take up the challenge and do not give up easily.There was one girl who had difficulties going down the slope which was not easy. We try to persuade her to use the option which was another route which was much easier, but she was determind to go by the way everybody else was using. After a couple of attempt she finally succeeded in getting down the difficult slope.We started our climb at around 8.10 am and completed around  11.30am  .I just cannot describe the feeling each time I am at the top of the mountain. I felt so at peace and relaxed. When it was time to go down, I had wanted to go back the same way we came up, but the others  wanted to take the short cut through the plantation .The majority had spoken and so it was. This route was not as steep as the tabur east, so it did not hurt my toes this time. The route save us two hours or so.
Although all of us were tired after the trip, but we really enjoyed ourselves and each other's company. After a drink at a nearby stall, we bid each other farewell and hope to meet again in future  hike.
I was suppose to join another hike at broga later in the evening, but had to called up my friend to pull out as I was really tired and my legs were aching.Reach home around 3.00pm had a quick shower and headed for the reflexlogy shop nearby and what a relief after the session.

old friends and new friends

at peace with nature

ARE YOU A STALKER??

I read with disbelief a fb friend have been stalked by someone again. Accordingly to her, this is the third time ,and all different people. She lamented why she has such misfortune. I was tempted to say because of her beauty, but I did not. Because this lastest one happen to be friend and she did not want to make a big issue out of it or report it. I wonder how do people term a person as a stalker? Does a person who is regulary sending you messages or checking on you be consider as one?  Most stalker are obsessed with the person they stalk and usually after a break up. What if there is no relationship involved. Does that count?  Surely there is a different between showing concern and stalking??  At the most, you friend might think you as a nuisance, but surely do not you qualify you as a stalker.  Can someone throw some light on this??

A MEANS OF COMMUNICATION

I have often wonder how people communicate in the past with their limited facilities, and they seems to manage without much of a problem. A snail mail will take a couple of days to arrive ,if it is a local address, and maybe weeks if it is from overseas. Today, we have emails and  sms which one can sent  message  across the globe at a click of a button. Telephones are so advanced these days.There so many with all kind of functions these days, and yet some do not appeciate it and don't even bother to communicate with their loved ones Surely it is not that difficult to lift up that phone and make a call, or press a few buttons on your cellphone ? Sad indeed. I am never good at waiting, so it is really a torture being told to wait for the call that might not happen at all.  Oh well...
