I was so excited as I never had enough of Japan.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Usually when husband invites me for trip, I would not be interested unless the trip comes with a purpose or it's a place of my interest. So, if the trip could evoke my interest, I would be the one plan for the whole itinerary.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There was no exception for this time too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I planned for itinerary, normally I would made sure every detail was set including what time to take what train and how much time to spend in each place. This time, I decided to follow the heart. I just prepared a few options, and asked husband to choose his preference first thing in the morning on each of our traveling day. I felt total freedom and I really enjoyed the trip. No pressure, not stressful on thinking of needed to chase after time and train.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I learned to surrender.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I learned that we can only try our best. As a droplet in the Ocean, we can only follow the flow and learn not to let situation affect our emotion. Keep our inner calmness and thing will fall into place.</div>

I like the saying:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"<i>I am on a road with no destination, I'm just driving with hope that I'll find a place that I like and I'll stay there. I'm not lost, I'm on my way.</i>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are all travelers of life. Why rush? Why only focus on destination? There is no real destination. There are just experiences and learning.</div>

This wall has witnesses the change of time. If you zoom-in to the explanation, you will understand how precious the wall is. But what I am thinking is that, if reincarnation did exist, and if I still have my past life's memories, and if I was the owner of this castle, how would I feel to see that I can no longer stay inside here? How would I feel that people do not remember me? How would I feel that I could not enjoy my own possession anymore?</div>

During Chinese New Year, instead of making those traditional cookies like "kuih-kapit", green pea cookies, pineapple tarts ... etc, I made Sugee Cake as Chinese New Year "cookies" to give people.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After presenting the Sugee Cake to various people, only I learned that not many "new-age" people know how to appreciate this cake.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I presented it to a 20-ish young man, he asked me why was the cake so crunchy and not moist like the usual cake that he has been eating.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I presented it to another female friend, she didn't know what is "Sugee" cake. Her boyfriend is an Italian and good in cooking. He bit just one mouth, and he could tell it's "Sugee". From there he told me about how to judge a good Sugee Cake. I was so excited and happy that finally someone could tell me more about "Sugee" cake.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It has another name called "Semolina Butter Cake". It should be crunchy, because one of the ingredients is almond. You will be biting the almond with the aromatic butter and Sugee smell spreading in your mouth... Woah, heaven! And it should be bake without using any flour, just "sugee" powder.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That was exactly how I baked it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course many other people love my Sugee Cake, especially children. It is appetizing to me and one will really get addicted to it after a few bites.</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So far I knew two persons who are really crazy over Sugee Cake. One of them is my cousin-in-law..... She never expected me to bake her Sugee Cake for Chinese New Year this year. She ordered one from somebody else by paying RM300!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another friend loves Sugee Cake very much and he used to eat the cake baked by his mother. Now that his mother has gone and he really missed the cake. He ordered the cake from somebody else too, and he threw away the whole cake after one bit. Until he tasted my Sugee Cake, he raised his thumb and said my Sugee Cake was the right and yummy one... (hehe... self-shiok for a while).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I must thank my mother-in-law for sharing her secret recipe with me, otherwise, I won't be able to retain the original recipe and bake such a yummy cake.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, what I am trying to say is, the traditional good quality cakes are fading away...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
People started to eat fancy cakes: cake with lots of cream, baked by using flour, by using different fruits, and different chemical ingredients. It is good as we need to evolve all the time...... But good values should be retained too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My knowledgeable hubby told me that during the 70's, Sugee Cake was being used as wedding cake. People would bake two to three tiers of Sugee Cake for the cake-cutting ceremony. After that it was being replaced with fruit cake... and now, it was just a dummy cake on the stage for "show" purpose.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My hubby told me about another traditional cake, which one can hardly see in the market - Zebra Cake:</div>
<div>

It looks like marble cake, but they are two different types of cake, different way of baking too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Personally I love Carrot Cake and Tiramisu Cake (only Su-Chan version and not any other version). After knowing my husband, I fell in love with Sugee Cake. I went to attend baking class to improve my baking skills. There are so many subtle skills which you can never find in any cook book.</div>

I joined the baking class taught by a young lady, who really share all the skills with the students. I was happy with the class and learned a few types of cake, including moist chocolate cake, carrot cake, green tea cake ... and the most shocking one is red velvet cake.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Why I was shocked? Because it is just a colouring cake!! I was so disappointed... I first tasted it in my friend's Chinese New Year open house, and since then I had been admiring the cake... and now, it is just a cake that one putting red dye to the batter to me.</div>

Last Saturday I went around to look for "purple" cake from various well-known cake shops, but couldn't get any. And if I were to order a custom-made version, I could only collect it on Wednesday... But I need the cake on Monday, for a terminally-ill patient's birthday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the end I baked it together with my husband, and decorated the cake with our own style.</div>

You must be laughing at our decoration now, I myself find the design was so amateur too ... Well, we are on our way to improve our cake decoration skills... wait for us!</div>
<div>
<br />
The patient loved the cake very much and had a really happy birthday celebration... This has motivated me so much until I have decided to sponsor and personally bake birthday cake for Hospis Malaysia's patients, cause I really enjoy doing it and find it meditative...</div>

I found another old recipe from my mother-in-law's recipe book.... Have you heard of KEK NASIB BAIK?!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

I was laughing away with the name and I am going to bake and see how lucky is the cake... haha!<br />

My professor asked us to do a survey about a person. This person could be someone living in any country, having any religion, and practising any culture. She gave my group the research on a female who was living in Istanbul, Turkey. This girl came from a middle-upper class Orthodox Jewish family and the father was a jewelry businessman. We have to do a research on this person's country, religion, culture, lifestyle and any other details we wanted to add in from the day she was born until she passed away at the age of 80. Of course this person is just a fiction, but the facts about her culture, religion, lifestyle and country had to be non-fiction. The fun part was, we had to present to the class about this person in a "SCRAPBOOK" format!<br />

At first I only glanced through my seniors' work to get some ideas on how to do the layout. Later on, because of we needed to buy some materials like ribbons or symbols to decorate our pages, I went to Craft Heaven in 1Utama, and saw a scrapbook sample there. I was so amazed that scrapbook could be done in such a detail way!<br />

After my assignment was over, my mind still stuck to the idea of making "scrapbook"... And then the fever of making it kept attacking me. So, I planned to make my very own personal scrapbook for my husband as his birthday "card" ... Instead of an ordinary birthday card, I wanted to make something special for his special birthday. I compiled all the photos we took in 2013, and I'm going to make a scrapbook of what we did in 2013 to present to him ...<br />

I have so much ideas on how to decorate the pages, but to learn more, I "Google" and "Youtube" a lot on how to improve the design of a scrapbook, and got more shocked to know that it was a norm to the westerners to make scrapbook since young! Many of the westerners even have a "scrapbook room" in their house, just for them to make scrapbook!! They also have specialized stores just to sell scrapbook materials... Alamak, I'm so out-dated la!!<br />
<br />
I have done two pages so far for my husband's "birthday-card" project, but still not very sure how to design the pages and find my pages quite bare as compared to the scrapbook sample on "Google" ... I hope I can improve my art-sense from doing this and improve my design to a better one... Well, I think it's "ok" that my designs are bare now, at least I started doing it and I believe practise make perfect. I find it a good therapy to focus my mind too. Maybe I could go into meditation while doing the art one day... haha! I will post my finished work here when I'm done, and hopefully it is nice enough to show to the world...<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
One of the thing amazed me was the memory of body cells. Thanks to my "Practitional Clinical Hypnotherapy" lecturer, I came to an understanding that body cells do keep memory of every incident that is meaningful to us. And all these memories are working at the unconscious level, affecting our conscious behaviours all the time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.massageprofessionals.com/forum/topics/body-cells-carry-emotional" target="_blank">Here's</a> an interesting article tells more about the memory of body cells.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I wanted to share, or make it as a record of my life journey here was my bodywork experience yesterday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
I have a friend who does bodywork for people, that will trigger and unleash the memory of body cells, and thus achieve a therapeutic effect.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you "Google" about bodywork, you will find lots of website explaining about what is bodywork. I think to the westerner, bodywork is equivalent to "massage". In the definition found on Google, bodywork has many types, including yoga, Reiki, QiGong, and all sorts of massage technique.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm not sure whether there is a specific name to the bodywork that my friend offers. Let's just use the term "bodywork" for the specific meaning here, which is, a massage technique that can unleashes and dissolves the memory of body cells.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I decided to go for bodywork is because of I have been having the same nightmare throughout the years. I wanted to release the memory and turn it to a positive one.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was an amazing and beautiful experience. Of course different person will have different experience. One of my friend tried the bodywork and she cried when certain part of the body was being pressed. She flashed back lots of memory of a certain incident when she felt the pain on that part of the body. She cried, and therefore the negative emotion was released.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<o:p></o:p></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As for me, I didn't cry or have any memory flashback. Instead, I gained lots of insights on matters about life. I felt so light and like a new born baby after the massage, with zero negative emotion. The emotion that fills up my body cells is "happiness". I realized I could be a happy person easily. I don't need to hold on to any negative emotion.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am glad that I knew someone who can do this type of bodywork. Thank you, Joyce! Really appreciate your effort.</div>

C: "He should have listen to my advice! Next time I don't want to bother about him anymore!"<br />
(Can't one has their own decision, even though the person seek for your opinion, he can choose not to listen, right? And the opinion giver shouldn't feel often right?)<br />
<br />
And all the guessing are towards the negative thought.<br />
<br />
We should observe one's intention, and not only see his action...<br />
<br />
Let's make the world a POSITIVE place ... Only if we are positive towards our thought, we can make positive miracle happen on us.<br />

Trial exam was just around the corner, and he was still taking his sweet time without starting his revision yet.<br />
<br />
I asked him to try one session of hypnotherapy with me, so that he could get rid of his "procrastination". You know what he answered? "I do not want to be hypnotised, because it would not be 'me' anymore. I will be programmed to be hardworking. I want to be myself."<br />
<br />
Haha... I asked him back: "Which part of you is really originally from yourself?"<br />

<br />
So many external factors that moulded us since we were small. Parents told us what to do. Kindergarten teachers taught us how to talk. Primary teachers fed us with lots of information. Secondary school teachers fixed our brain to be more and more logical in thinking. Tertiary education made us even better in reasoning.<br />
<br />
Which part of you is really originally from yourself?<br />
<br />
It's just different environmental factors, spiritual influences, and karma ripening that moulded us until who we are today.<br />
<br />
We have all the seeds in our mind. Which one will grow well in the end; which one grow half-way and overkill; which one still need to be watered ... All has it's own karma.<br />
<br />
But it doesn't means that we are just waiting to be controlled by our "fate", or all external factors.<br />
<br />
If only we can be conscious of all our doing. We will be able to change our fate.MiChihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02362650237411873478noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17878705.post-27325836811834859712013-05-18T01:44:00.000+08:002013-05-18T01:52:16.884+08:00BaggageWe all carry baggages...<br />

How would you explain to an ant the 3rd dimension?<br />
<br />
We can see 3-dimensional, but is that all? What if there are more dimensions but we are deceived by our vision. Just like how ants are deceived by their vision?<br />
<br />
How we can wake up from this illusion world and see the truth?MiChihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02362650237411873478noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17878705.post-53390394913276276542013-04-24T10:18:00.001+08:002013-04-24T10:18:29.889+08:00Make my dayIt's good to be back to blogging again...<br />

It's Mount JiuHua (九华山)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was such a tough assignment for me to plan this trip. First of all, I didn't know how to access to JiuHua town, didn't know what bus to take from which city, didn't know how long it take to travel to the town from the nearest city, and didn't know how to travel around the town even if I manage to get there.</div>

<br />
I could only relied on internet, but the information on the net is really limited. I tried to search in both Chinese website and English website, but to no avail. I have a few options:<br />
1. Take train from Shanghai to JiuHua town (I was not sure whether there<br />
is any train between these two points).<br />
2. Take train from Shanghai to HuangShan, then take bus to JiuHua town.<br />
3. Take train To Nanjing, then from Nanjing take bus to JiuHua town.<br />
4. Take train to HeFei (合肥), then take bus to JiuHua town.<br />
<br />

<br />
I managed to get slight idea and decided to take train to Nanjing. There, I had another disaster. I didn't know where is the bus station, I was not sure whether there were still tickets to go to JiuHua town same day as I reached Nanjing. When I came out from Nanjing train station, I totally lost direction and not sure to walk to east, or west... I didn't even know which direction was east, which was west!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Finally I got to JiuHua town! But there were more puzzles for me to fix! Where was the hotel? Should I take bus, taxi, or "tok-tok" to the hotel? How far was it from the bus station? There were so many illegal agents trying to grab us! How much is the entrance ticket to Mount JiuHua? How should I buy the bus ticket and entrance ticket? And when I get to the mountain foot, which peak should I start from?<br />
<br />
Totally not know where to begin with.<br />
<br />
I am summarizing my experience here and hope this post can give those who wished to make a pilgrimage to Mount JiuHua a helping hand (I heard that there will be flight or even high speed train to go to JiuHua town from Shanghai soon).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I took a flight to Shanghai (I should have landed in Nanjing and take a bus from there straight), and from Shanghai, I took a train to Nanjing (high speed train, took 1.5 hours to reach).<br />
<br />
When I came out from Nanjing train station, I was not sure which direction to go. Of course the only way was to ask, but the people there will ask you to walk to east, or west, or south, or north... They don't use "left" or "right"!! How would I know the direction?!! Now I know, that, when we come out from Nanjing train station, just turn right and walk straight all the way, for about 15 minutes (you will walk pass 2 McD, and 2 KFC), then Nanjing Bus Station is on your left (there is a big sign!).<br />
<br />
Before I reached the bus station, I bought the ticket from one small both (luckily, else if ticket finished, I might have to stay a night in Nanjing!). The bus trip took 4 hours to reach JiuHua bus station.<br />
<br />

<br />
From JiuHua bus station, I still need to buy another bus ticket to enter JiuHua area (and need to buy entrance ticket). If you reach JiuHua bus station late, you may miss the bus that can bring you to the area and need to stay in any hotel outside the area (like me). My hotel was only about 2 km from the bus station, so I took a "tok-tok" to my hotel. Next day I went back to JiuHua bus station to chart a bus to JiuHua area.<br />
<br />
Once I enter JiuHua area, I got to walk to another parking area to chart another bus to the foot of one of the peak and take cable car from a station called Feng-Huang Song (凤凰松).<br />
<br />
There are 99 peaks and 90 temples in the whole JiuHua area, so which one should I start from? I decided to visit those temples that are related to Ksitigharba Bodhisattva (Di Zang Wang Bodhisattva) as my time was limited. There are 4 main temples which Ksitigharba Bodhisattva was there before:<br />
1. 古讲经台<br />
First temple that you will see if you take the cable car from Feng-Huang Song.<br />
This temple was where Ksitigharba Bodhisattva chanted a sutra until leaving<br />
deep foot print on the floor.<br />
2. 天台寺<br />
After the first temple, if you look up, you will see this temple at the peak<br />
of the mountain.<br />
This temple is the highest temple above one of the peak in the whole<br />
Mount JiuHua.<br />
3. 肉身宝殿<br />
This temple near the JiuHua area (old town), you can put this as<br />
last temple to visit after you have descent from the peak,<br />
but NEVER miss it.<br />
Why you should not miss it? Because this is where they keep Ksitigharba<br />
Bodhisattva's body!<br />
The body was not rot even after He has gone to nirvana for 3 years!<br />
4. 古藏经楼<br />
If you walk all the way down from the first temple (and not take cable car),<br />
you will pass by this temple.<br />
This temple is where lots of sutras are kept.<br />
<br />
It really worth the trip there as I gained so much insight and awakening from this trip. I will post up more photos about this mountain in my next post.MiChihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02362650237411873478noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17878705.post-71326816031803756602013-01-31T15:14:00.001+08:002013-01-31T15:16:52.943+08:00Déjà vuI first heard about this word was from "The Matrix".<br />

Keanu Reeves was running up a staircase trying to escape from the enemies, and he saw a cat at the corner of the stairs again and again when he ran higher and higher up the stairs. He mumbled: "<b style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.1875px;">Déjà vu</b>!" ... Ya, that's where I learnt it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you google about this word, you will know that it is describing a situation whereby you have a strong sensation that the particular event or experience you are currently experiencing had been experienced in the past.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For example, this morning you went for breakfast. When you reached the particular coffee shop, you walked to a hawker and told the hawker something about yourself... And "deng~~!!!", you realised the whole picture was like happened before! But that was something new that you are telling the hawker!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Agree?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I always have this kind of experience, as if I dreamed about it before... Or it happened to me before...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another phenomenon is that, we keep our thinking pattern the same at all time...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For example, when I write my blog or diary, many times I tend to repeat the same topic and the same content that I have written before again and again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is this really experienced brain surgeon found out that, every one has their own thinking pattern, no one has the same; and.... whether you are at your baby time, or as old as 90 years old, your thinking pattern never change!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Does that explain why we keep thinking the same way? Why we keep giving the same answer to the particular question? Why we keep doing things the same way? Why we maintain as stubborn as when we were young? Deja Vu?</div>

We are living in an illusion world. Therefore, every information we get are repeat information ...Break your thinking pattern, break the "<b style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.1875px;">Déjà vu</b>"... Who knows, you have new discovery!?</div>

Of course, for the neurologist, they might still busy finding proves for all these differences.<br />
<br />
One of the differences that shaken me for a while is that, conscious mind is a sequence mind.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj43kwitJU_61hwstSWwepnHmZKwGOuYjxXOL7n65dGsG4YfdVTgFk_X4TyQsr-0KUK8GOP4qHg5iTSETi9m3mShaJHmg1Bx73kMhLXD5I3BzMzhiToj25XvNOnRX5DBpkRKy1_1g/s1600/sequence.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="83" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj43kwitJU_61hwstSWwepnHmZKwGOuYjxXOL7n65dGsG4YfdVTgFk_X4TyQsr-0KUK8GOP4qHg5iTSETi9m3mShaJHmg1Bx73kMhLXD5I3BzMzhiToj25XvNOnRX5DBpkRKy1_1g/s400/sequence.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Sequence mind meaning that we know after sunset, then it will be dark night, follow by dawn, bright morning, hot afternoon, relaxing evening, dawn ... and the sequence repeats.<br />
<br />
Or we know the counting of 1 to 10 by sequence...<br />
<br />
We know yesterday has passed and tomorrow is coming after today...<br />
<br />
But, our unconscious mind has no sequence!<br />
<br />
Which is real? sequence, or actually there is no sequence in this world?!<br />
<br />
When we dream at night, we think that our dream is real. Only when we had woken up, we realized it was just a dream...<br />
<br />
Who knows, we think we are in a real human world with all the touchable solid objects around us, but we are still in another level of dream?<br />
<br />
The unconscious mind may have the answer, just that, it was being filtered by our consciousness...<br />
<br />
So, what is real to you?MiChihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02362650237411873478noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17878705.post-55391378211433646182012-12-03T15:45:00.005+08:002012-12-03T15:52:39.563+08:00Funny thoughtWhat is our thought?<br />
<br />
Let's watch this video first:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZyQjr1YL0zg" width="420"></iframe>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I wanted to say after watching this video is that, what is our thought? Which one is our original thought? We are being influenced by the surrounding all the time! What we saw, what we heard, what we tasted, what we smelled, what we touched, and what our sixth sense sensed.... All are affecting the way we think.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Even our past memories, are affecting us too.</div>

<div>

I was so blurred and know nothing about bicycle. I thought, cycling means buy a bike and ride, that's all. Why did they want to check the weight...<br /><br />Only later, my cycling gurus, especially Tony and Vincent, started sharing their cycling knowledge with me, then only I woke up from my innocent dream...<br /><br />Cycling is not that easy!<br /><br />First of all, you must find a bike with the correct size that suit your height. The frame of the bike has to be perfectly matches your body size, especially the top tube.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidNy93zwJF404QJ8vLiN4-FbwxyL_46RkofqxnRMAfjRkiDeLuUHK-nCL3vQ5JcbvuqlkwiW9xDdGNwFTDyeW651WPTNNnxe51x-BsZadsRchlSjW9qW-h75o6Z1UySmlAhjoRHg/s1600/bikeframe.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidNy93zwJF404QJ8vLiN4-FbwxyL_46RkofqxnRMAfjRkiDeLuUHK-nCL3vQ5JcbvuqlkwiW9xDdGNwFTDyeW651WPTNNnxe51x-BsZadsRchlSjW9qW-h75o6Z1UySmlAhjoRHg/s400/bikeframe.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565563827937680178" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">There are so many types of bicycle frame to choose from. Frames made from carbon, aluminium and titanium.... etc<br /><br />Frame that made from carbon is very light. When your bike is light, you can go faster than riding a heavier bike. Every kg count!<br /><br />My first bike weigh 14.5 kg, and it is super heavy for a road bike~~!! Hahah... what a shame...!<br /><br />Most of the cyclists' bike is only 5 - 7 kg.... That's so light!<br /><br />Then we must have good shifter for the gear of the bike...<br /><br />Some good shifter alone can costs more than RM1500 !!!<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvQpCyOOLQDv87QEv9Sd8zo5d4G7yeuYhM0xZHCZMKcpFD8yoTMuy-RudOlzRvrJUkAjwLWaTl2f78pzst5V-x0ALj-jrZmN5RvEjA8WRTcjjBCPAheRC8rG33FNDUkPIyWbBTuQ/s1600/shifter.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvQpCyOOLQDv87QEv9Sd8zo5d4G7yeuYhM0xZHCZMKcpFD8yoTMuy-RudOlzRvrJUkAjwLWaTl2f78pzst5V-x0ALj-jrZmN5RvEjA8WRTcjjBCPAheRC8rG33FNDUkPIyWbBTuQ/s400/shifter.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565563837913597650" border="0" /></a><br />After shifter, you need to have a good bicycle crank...
