STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

Yes  I admit it. I am guilty. I still dig comics after all these years. I started reading comics during my school days and I was still crazy even through out my working years. In fact working life give me even more opportunity to read and explore to other comics title.  In fact my best friend, the late Richard chua was even crazier than me and being a business man he could afford to buy more comics than me. We used to travel regularly almost every week to a novety shop in kuala lumpur that sells comics. So you can understand whenever one of our superheroes make it to the big screen I am excited and looked forward to catch the movie. My only regret was if only my friend were still alive , we would have fun together to catch the movie,just like we did whenever we go through our comics collection. As our collection grew I  realized the need to get organized . That was when I suggested we have them all bound up , just that those journals and magazine, people sent to the bookshops to have them bound. When we first sent our comics , we used go get funny looks, but as kept sending more and more order, the looks changed to that of a welcome look. I guest we were the only one that kept coming back weeks after weeks, whereas the others only comes once a year.
One of the many volumes Comics

While searching for something in my cupboard this morning I saw my lost comics . It's a shame none of my children have any interests in them. My late friend's collection must have been destroyed during his demise and I dare not ask for them as my wife was already complaining my collection was taking up space at home.

I'TS MOMENT LIKE THIS.

My eldest son likes movie a lot and will always 'pester' me to go to a movie with him. I am less enthusiastic than him when it comes to movie. Even if it is a good movie I can wait for the DVD
Maybe it has got to do with age? But since he so sincere and persistence ,I usually give in and end up going to the movie with him. I am glad I did because I do enjoyed his company. It also give us the opportunity to catch up and make up for the time lost during his growing years. I confess, I did not get to do that during those times. I am not offering any excuse here. Just spilling out the truth. I hope none of you will repeat my mistake. Anyway we were at the cinema last night to catch Captain America, which happen to be one of my superhero as well. It was a nice movie and both of us enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. We were early and the show only starts at 8.10pm and so we went to the nearby stall by the road side.He bought  dinner and we ate by the road side. He sometimes surprise me with his acton. He waited till I finish my dinner , collected the empty box to throw it in the rubbish bin. At the cinema hall treat me further to a massage at those massage chair. I'ts moment like this we enjoyed each other's company.
I am excited that one by one my super heroes make it to the big screen. Reading comics and seeing it on the screen are totally two different experience.

Climbing Uphill On Your Way To Health

An interesting article from bernama. Those who likes hiking,hill climbing will like this.


By Kurniawati Kamarudin

KUALA LUMPUR, July 27 (Bernama) -- Bukit Batu Putih, a hill adjacent to Taman Awana in Cheras, is teeming with motley crowd during the weekends as hundreds of people from far and near visit the place not just to relax or soak in the fresh air, but also exercise by going uphill.

Streams of people from all walks of life, young and old, can be seen ascending and descending the hill to sweat it out while enjoying the greenery provided by the jungle covering the hill, something that is increasingly rare in Kuala Lumpur nowadays.

Bukit Batu Putih, with its peak at 1,010-metre from sea level and steep gradient, is ready to put to test anybody's physical endurance.

ROUTE TO THE TOP

As for those who have not been there, there are several routes leading to Bukit Batu Putih, some being Taman Awana (the route used by most people), Taman Mudun, Cheras Hartamas and Taman Melur from Bukit Saga, Ampang.

Many come to the hill daily and some like Uncle Lim, 75, are well known faces of the hill. Other climbers at Bukit Batu eagerly wait for the genial Uncle Lim who almost without fail visits the hill daily.

The classic Mandarin song reverberating along the route winding up the hill, whether it rains or shines, indicates Uncle Lim's presence.

With a cheerful face and a 1.5 metre stick, he starts his way up by 8am as he feels it is the best time to get vitamin D other than enjoying the fresh morning atmosphere.

"I sing aloud while climbing because it is good for the lungs. If I don't sing, I get bored and it takes me longer to reach the peak," shared this senior citizen, who lives in the neighbourhood.

Looking hale and hearty, with his t-shirt wet from sweat, he greets anyone whom he meets on the hill and has made a lots of friends.

Uncle Lim's hill climbing routine started 10 years ago when he realised his body was slowly becoming weak due to inactivity after retirement.

"When there was no work, I just ate and slept, and soon my body started becoming weak. So I started climbing the hill to sweat it out. I climb daily, rain or shine, because I feel healthy and sleep well. When I return home, I take a short nap before proceeding with other outines," he said.

Ever since he started hill climbing, Uncle Lim has been in the best of health, except for some fever and common cold. He is free from heart ailments, high blood pressure or even diabetes.

He added that he watches his diet too and advised others to start taking care of their health right from an early stage.

"Many are gluttons and lazy to exercise, that is why they suffer from a host of disorders. Always think of making money, never happy, sooner or later they fall sick and die," said the father of two children.

Uncle Lim, who has six grandchildren, noted that climbing Bukit Batu Putih also helped him overcome loneliness as he meets his old friends there while making new ones.

HILL CLIMBING AND WELLNESS

Hill climbing is a recreational activity that calls for physical and mental strength.

According to Universiti Teknologi Mara's (UiTM) Sports Science and Recreation lecturer Associate Prof Dr Anuar Suun, more people are taking up climbing as it is another wellness lifestyle.

Apart from Bukit Batu Putih, there are many hills within the Klang Valley where this activity is popular - Bukit Gasing, Bukit Saga, Bukit Tabur, Bukit Broga and Bukit Takun.

Dr Anuar pointed out that climbing hills regularly could help in maintaining body weight and keep heart disease at bay. The heart becomes stronger and works optimally through physical exercise.

He said that even those with heart problems, except if it is serious, could climb hills but they should seek their doctor's advice beforehand.

"The same goes for those with high blood pressure, they have to seek the doctor's advice beforehand as climbing activity pushes up the blood pressure and causes extra stress to the heart," he said.

Hill climbing also reduces stress and mood swings, and improved blood flow helps to slow down the aging process.

PERILS OF HILL CLIMBING

Meanwhile, Lt. Muda Shahrul Kamar Mohd Joha, an officer with the Federal Territory Civil Defence Department, said while climbing Bukit Batu Putih is a healthy recreational activity, climbers have to be aware of the perils.

He pointed out that first timers should be careful as there is a risk of getting lost because the hill has 30 Y junctions and those who lose their way may end up deeper in the jungles of Hulu Langat.

However, to help joggers and visitors find their way, numerous markers have been put up along the way, including six checkpoints. Despite this, people get lost.

Even those familiar with the place also go missing, especially when they suffer from sprained ankle or chest pain that immobilises them.

"Often those who get lost are the ones who start late in the evening. Some start late without any preparation like proper shoes and attire and this slows them down, and when darkness sets in they fail to see their way out," observed Shahrul, who took joint search teams in five cases where people went missing on the hill.

EVERYTHING IS OK NOW

For the past few days I just could not post any comments on my blog. I thank all my friends who came to my aid with your suggestions . Tried so many ways still could not figure it out. Given google and tried out all the tips given,still could not get it work. Even thought it might have been the template which I changed and revert back to the original template. Still same result. Finally I tried using another browser. I was using firefox, which is still my favourite browser. What do you know it works! The moment I log into my blog and saw the pencil image I knew it will work. Just to share so that in case any of you guys have the same problem like mine , try a different browser. During the time I was unable to comment I was thinking of switching to another blog service like wordpress.  Apart from Caroline anyone else is using this?  What about other blog service?  Which is better and easier to use? I have been using blogger since I started my blog and so accustom to it, and to change now will means alot of adjustment and getting use to the new site. But sometimes changes are necessary right?

SORRY FRIENDS ,UNABLE TO COMMENTS.

Of late I have not been able to response to comments on blogger. Have tried many times , don't sure what went wrong. will contact brogger and wait for their feedback. So until this is fixed I will not be able to reply to any of your comments. Just to let you know lest you think I become sombong.
By the way anyone has this problem before? How to fix this?
