Says it all I suppose. Bitter Gourd. Either, you love bitter gourd or you don't. Of course, there's no two ways about it. However, trust me, believe me, when age comes popping in front of us or we decide to put put age behind us, we will somehow embrace bitter gourd. We will. And why it is so? Well, for a fact, we have digested the fact that, anything bitter is the healthy, bullet truth to health is wealth (Pachai Sundakkai Kulambu/Fresh Turkey Berry Curry). After all. The biggest fear as we grow older. I don't know about you, for me personally, nothing is more important than keeping my health so, so, so close to my body, mind and soul. Bitter gourd. As you know or don't, already classified as the health is wealth unique vegetable-fruit, and bitter gourd, you must believe me, can be converted to various types of dishes. Whether you prefer all the bitterness, as bitter as bitter gourd can be, or you prefer to remove some of the bitterness by soaking sliced bitter gourd in salt water prior to cooking.

South India - Kodaikanal (Nava K Explored)
Kodaikanal! The high up altitude. Yea. High up. Up there. 2,000 meters above sea level, also, a city in the hill of Dindigul district and obviously, sure, Kodaikanal as a nature grandeur. Of course. Of course. Me and nature? Nava K the nature loving and hailing person, though, lemme admit, no, nature walking or nature hiking is not my interest. Pretty much. Nevertheless, I am sincerely with any one of you who are into admiring nature and coming with it sightseeing. Henceforth, the moment we departed from Coimbatore (South India - Mysore/Coimbatore), I was already geared up for embracing nature in Kodaikanal. After all, throughout the years, much I have read and digested about Kodaikanal in the virtual world and should I also must mention all those Kodaikanal sharing on social media? No need right?

South India - Bangalore/Bengaluru (Nava K Explored)
Finally! Oh My God! Must be the blessings showered upon me from afar, from the gods in South India. After years of faulty failures to planning and literally coaxing my other half-half for years as well. Hah! In the end, I gave a damn to every damn thing aside. Let alone this man I have been married to for donkeys years who wouldn't move his butt in accompanying me for a trip to South India. His reason. Mmmm! Plain simple and nothing new. Work commitment. Nevermind I told myself and instead of still keeping my fingers crossed, hoping things will change on my home front, I gave up. I went ahead by joining a tour. Tour of 8 people and mind you, except for knowing one person, the one who organised this tour, the rest unknown. Like it mattered to me anyway? Like you are friends needy for travelling and me, already crowned as a solo-traveller.

Sekinchan (Selangor) 1 Day Trip - Part 2
What else (Sekinchan Part 1)? What else must or should be considered as part and parcel of our sightseeing in Sekinchan? Okay. Lemme start. Ah Ma House, which by the way, wasn't like a major thing for us, thereafter, we heading to Paddy Processing Factory & Gallery. Just a short drive by the way. Within a distance of 3 or most to most 4 minutes. Anyway, Sekinchan, for your information, is a small town and most, in fact, all the sightseeing spots are located within a short distance. Plus, let me tell you ahead that sightseeing in Sekinchan can be completed within, a day or even lesser. Unless, of course, you want to remain in Sekinchan for another day or two? For reasons best known to you? Go ahead. Your time, you decide.

33 Blue Room - Section 51a, Zone Perindustrian PJCT (Petaling Jaya)
33 Blue Room. In an area I pass by every now and then. In fact, quite often actually and trust me, not in my slightest moment I knew, neither have I noticed 33 Blue Room. Not until on this particular Wednesday for friendship bonding with my two friends who have prior reserved a table. Oh yes please. Reserve your table. Unless otherwise. You don't mind waiting in line and parking, may be somewhat troubling if you want to park right in front, but if your legs are willing, sure, park along the road side. 33 Blue Room. Wah! Honest to goodness, the moment I walked in. An ultimate admirable ambiance. As though I am in a magic haven. My-my! After all, its been sometime since I have dined in such a restaurant. Me and my quiet life? Of course, when the need warrants for, especially, for meaningful, sincere, down to earth, and not those, crappy, fake, social media showing needy friendship, you can count on me.

Sekinchan (Selangor) 1 Day Trip - Part 1
Sekinchan. I was told that
Sekinchan located in Sabak Bernam, Selangor is a must do. Yes. Must do (Cameron Highlands Pahang). Do or
die kinda, I shouldn't miss out on exploring Sekinchan (Alor Setar Revisited). Told by who by the way?
Well. Those who have already, obviously explored Sekinchan and Sekinchan,
obviously too, for your information, already profoundly known in the virtual
world (Frasers Hill Pahang). What else was I told about Sekinchan? I was told that the primarily or
central attraction in Sekinchan must be none other than the paddy fields. Paddy
fields, especially when they are at their green-green or full blown yellow
lush. Also, just before or right before harvesting. Honestly, to tell you the
truth, I have been planning for a trip to Sekinchan for almost a year, but been put on hold due to the weather. Weather either unbearably burn-baby-burn
hot or rainy season lashing merciless. Finally, somehow, taking into
considering that weather can be tolerated, though still the hot season, me
tripping to Sekinchan and prior to arriving in Sekinchan, we stopping by in
Restoran Suang Le River (Tanjung Karang, Kuala Selangor) for lunch.
