Cool Runnings!

People that I know usually equate Jamaica with Bob Marley and reggae. (this reminds me of Haha from Running Man if you watch Running Man. The guy is a big fan of reggae and Bob Marley LOL) Though things have changed now that we have Usain Bolt. Back to my story. Last night I watched this movie on Astro Disney XD channel,  "Cool Runnings". I thought it was an entirely fictional movie, only to learn that it is based on true story. Gotta say I enjoy the movie, I remember laughing almost every few minutes man. The jokes and you know how the Jamaicans speak "Yaa maaan!" No offense I really think that their accent is cool.

Cool Runnings. Of course, the movie was made to be more dramatic and funny. Source IMDB

The 1988 Jamaican bobsled team in Calgary, Canada. Source  Jamaica Bobsleigh Team.

All jokes aside, I could feel that the movie is trying to bring this message to all of us "Do not give up on your dreams-if they are not stupid". These guys were so determined to represent their country in Olympic games, they even went as far as doing the unthinkable at those time in their country - to take part in Winter Olympic. When I was watching the movie I thought Jamaica is the first tropical country to ever compete in Winter Olympic, turned out it was Philippines some time in 1972. But I guess back then in 1988 to see 4 black athletes, competing in bobsled event-that was not something you would think of back then I reckon. They did well that year but crashed out early, but the sportsmanship shown by the athletes in the movie was something all athletes should emulate.

Before I go to sleep tonight, I need to finish watching The 5 Year Engagement pulak. My favourite actor Jason Segel is in it so must be funny. LOL XP

Have a great night everyone! And a great day tomorrow!  =)

Kembali

Sepanjang tahun 2018 langsung takde satu post. Wow! That's a new record set by yours truly. Banyak benda boleh berlaku dalam masa satu tahun. Dan banyak benda juga yang dah berlaku dalam jangka masa tu. Summary nye, perubahan kerjaya , tahun melawat Indonesia , dan new bundle of joy  (<----Ini emoji smiley, aku buat post ni pakai Blogger app) Kenapa kali ni tergerak nak blog balik? Sebenarnya, dari tahun 2017 tu aku nak meneruskan kelangsungan hidup blog ni..cuma, banyak alasan aku bagi dan jadilah apa yang dah terjadi sekarang blog yang dah lebih setahun tak di-update. Bersawang, dah jadi sarang angkut-angkut dah. Inilah sarang angkut-angkut. Blog kali ni more to syok sendiri mungkin, sebab aku rasa aku dah takde pembaca yang mengikuti perkembangan blog ni. Silap-silap, blog aku dah kena removed daripada list pembaca-pembaca lama aku. Mungkin kalau takde pressure untuk blog, aku akan lebih rajin ke sini. Siapa tahu?

Reconnect: My Journey Back to Blogging

 Hello, fellow travel enthusiasts and friends of Malaysian adventures! It's been an incredible journey, one that saw me take an unexpected hiatus from blogging for more than three years. Life happened (more like COVID happened) —responsibilities, changes, and personal growth—but one thing remained constant: my love for exploring the beauty and diversity of Malaysia. With power to put Dillan on my back, comes great responsibility! Today, I'm excited to announce my return to the world of  blogging. It's a bit like revisiting an old friend and reminiscing about unforgettable experiences. As I dust off my keyboard and sift through the memories of past travels, I can't wait to reconnect with all of you and share new adventures. Reflecting on the Past During my hiatus, I took the time to recharge, reflect, and embark on new journeys, both physically and emotionally. I've explored different aspects of life, including my passion for raising awareness about autism, delved de...

So, What's To Love In Balakong Jaya?

To be honest, nothing. Hahaha, but it has become a place I'm familiar with. Almost 9 months living here. Anyway, I'm gonna answer the questions asked by Guest on my shoutbox. Woot~ There is a RapidKL bus to Ligno Biotech. If you look at the map below, there is a T-Junction (which is no longer a T-Junction because a two-ways road has been built headed to the industrial park) where the bus always stops. The bus number is T417 and you can board it from KTM Serdang which is nearer to Ligno Biotech and also LRT Sungai Besi (which is a bit further).  'A' is Ligno Biotech. There is only one way to reach there which is via the T-Junction. If you turn right you will be going to the shoplots and also Taman Perindustrian Balakong Jaya 1. So, this is Seri Jati Apartment. And Taman...I don't know what's the name of this housing area. It's just located opposite Seri Jati Apartment. The front shoplots. Got market, groceries, MyMydin, Kelantanese restaurant, c...
