Yup… it’s 31st December. I’ve been so lazy in updating the blogs. I have twenty minutes before the clock strikes twelve and Cinderella’s carriage turns to pumpkin again… eh? what has Cinderella got to do with my blog? Geezz…
I have here photos of my cats… simply for updating. Well folks, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Emotions are our feelings…
Robert Plutchik created a wheel of emotions in 1980 which consisted of 8 basic emotions and 8 advanced emotions each composed of 2 basic ones.
| Basic emotion | Basic opposite |
|---|---|
| Advanced emotion | Composed of... | Advanced opposite |
|---|---|---|
| Optimism | Anticipation + Joy | Disappointment |
| Love | Joy + Trust | Remorse |
| Submission | Trust + Fear | Contempt |
| Awe | Fear + Surprise | Aggressiveness |
| Disappointment | Surprise + Sadness | Optimism |
| Remorse | Sadness + Disgust | Love |
| Contempt | Disgust + Anger | Submission |
| Aggressiveness | Anger + Anticipation | Awe |
TOP: happiness, pride
BOTTOM: sadness, distress or anxiety…
(my first few attempts at portraiture, people are anonymous, please respect this. It is up in the name of art.)
Reference:
Interesting tour really.
TOP Right: House fully made of wood. These are the places it can still be seen. Towns are concrete jungles.
TOP Left: Is where they rare birds for the nest. That is one of the many swallow bird nest building in the low lying areas around Jugra. It looks like bird nest farming is catching up in this area.
BOTTOM: The Masjid Al-Muttaqin, Permatang Pasir where I stopped for Asar.
Full of historic spots. Living in the suburban area, all the greens and the water surely was refreshing.
TOP: Before turning for Jugra, this house is one that any badminton fan would want to see. It produced World Champs known as the Sidek family. Banting is where they came from!
BOTTOM: Finally heading for home…
Without referring to a map, I wouldn’t know the towns that I will pass through. Trips like these, I appreciate now because it enlightens me. A weekend spent well.
This is a continuation from our drive down Bukit Jugra. We were hungry since we haven’t had lunch since checking out of the hotel. Famished! So we stopped by the river bank for some ‘Seafood’… fresh seafood. It is also where fishermen parks their boats. Ask me where I am in the map… I seriously do not know! Only that it is along the river of Sungai Langat.
The children who speaks only Chinese, saw me with the camera and came running. As I focused the lens… they darted away… so cute!
Sorry… hungry!
Hardly any cars around, in fact you’d wonder if it’s inhabited at all… giving it the mysterious air. Down the road is Masjid Al-Muttaqin, Permatang Pasir and Bukit Jugra is it’s background. I wanted to go to the hill top… along that we passed Masjid and Chinese Temple indicating the major population as Malays and the Chinese. Maybe it was the time we were there and the weather… you don’t see many people out and about.
It is worth the drive up hill. The panoramic view is breathtaking…
the top of the hill, the view from up there, Sungai Langat and bottom pics are close ups. Imagine rolling down to the foot of the hill… eekkss
if you can zoom in top left, you’d see the port at the horizon. This man was one of three I came across walking up. “Exercise!” God gracious… and this one is bare-footed. It was hot… no camera tricks.
can you see how steep it is? Salute man…
That’s durian trees (top left)… durian orchard! There was a story I found in one of the webs… about a fairy princess known as Puteri Gunung Ledang. She was said to have made Bukit Jugra her home at one point. Read on if you like, just click on the link where her name is.

Next post will be photos by the river….
