SaGa!

During my first hiking at Bukit Saga in Ampang, I was totally exhausted with profuse sweat even before reaching the top hill. When back home, my leg muscles was aching and it took two days to recuperate. But all those pain did not deter me from going there again.

Last week, I went there for the second time with few friends. By the end of almost 90 minutes of perspiration and overcomed the sharp slope and steepness, we feel like a champion. No complain of pain in any part of the body which is a good sign!

After 10 minutes of walking, we decided to hike via this trail (pic above) which is quite steep but it is easy and faster as compared to other trail

Reached the tophill which is a resting and camping area

For those who need to wash up or eat and drink after a tiring hike, this is the spot you should go which is located few meters away down the slope. This little huts was built by few senior man who are friendly and don't mind sharing cooked food prepared by them with hikers.
You can even bring your own fresh food and prepare it there.


There are few small fish ponds within the surrounding. Mostly tilapia fish and you can put your fishing bait in the pond with permission from the rightful owner

BROGA HILL - AH FATT NASI AYAM & MEE

After a fruitful hike, it was almost 12 noon. On our way down, we passed by Ah Fatt Nasi Ayam and Mee located opposite Broga Police Station.

What captured our attention to have our lunch there was the layout of chicken rice stall i.e roasted chicken & duck, char siew and siew yok on 'hangers'.

The seller cum owner is an eldery man and had been operating this family business for 20 years. He highly recommended me to try Hong Kong noodles or wan tan mee evident by the number of customers who were enjoying this plate of noodles.

A plate of chicken rice....fragrant and soft

(fm left to right)....roasted duck, combination of char siew + siew yok and roasted chicken

Dried Hong Kong Noodles/Wan Tan Mee

the noodles was springy and simply dressed in light + dark soya sauce with vegetables.

Meat dumplings/wan tan soup

each mini dumplings/wantan was filled with minced meat and tasty too

This decent lunch came to RM18.80 including three glass of drink.

BROGA HILL - HIKING

It was a public holiday and also school holiday. We thought there will not be many people going up to Broga Hill cos' most family are having vacation in overseas.But we were wrong.

We arrived this lovely hill at almost 8am and paid RM2 to the lady car park attendant. But were shocked to see the whole parking lot fully occupied by cars. After 10 minutes, we managed to find a space to park our vehicle.

A day before, it was raining cats and dogs. Thus, the road was quite wet and slippery at certain hill top. But this did not deter families especially youngsters and school children from braving into this adventurous activity.

Due to the beeline of people coming down from the hill in order to make way for those climbing up, total time taken to reach the peak or 4th level was almost 3 hours.

A handful of photographers were seen busy capturing beautiful scenery with their pro cameras while other were chit chatting and laughing with friends.

look at the beeline ....from the starting point!

fresh air and nice view from the hill top
the peak...even a granny successfully climbed up & down without any help

HOME/DIY FIT BALL EXERCISE

E

XERCISE is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health. It is performed for many different reasons i.e. to strengthen muscles and the cardiovascular system, to loss weight or maintain a healthy weight and etc. But too much exercise can be harmful because our body need at least a day of rest, which is why some health experts say one should exercise every 3 times a week.

For those who love eating good food (including me) at times or most of the time will forgo exercise unless there are warning symptoms appear such as extra layer of spare tyres in the belly, body too heavy and feel tired easily, can't fit into the old pants/dress and etc.

If you don't like going to the gym, you can do it at home (DIY). Get yourself a fit ball (according to your height) and a yoga mat. For instruction on how to practice fit ball exercise, print out a step by step picture http://www.dietandfitnessresources.co.uk/home_gym/info/swiss_ball_exercises.htm
in A3 size paper and pin in your room wall. You may download videos from the internet and play it while doing this exercise.

Wonder why I choose Fit ball Exercise?

Fitball sessions are the ultimate way to improve core strength and the easiest exercise to lose weight especially in stubborn areas such as the abdomen, buttocks and thighs . This exhilarating workout guaranteed to make you shed extra pounds if you consistently do it for at least 30 minutes everyday or on alternative days.

How I know???

I successfully lose 10 kgs after doing fit ball exercise for 3 times a week in a month within half a year. And also coupled with proper healthy diet. The result, a slim body which fits into any attire:-D. Evident by praises from my family and friends.

Benefit

Instead of keeping the fitball in a store room, I used it as a chair as it help to maintain the optimum posture while watching TV or working at your desk.
