【思考。Think】知识和帮人。Knowledge & Help

今天忽然有个领悟。一开始懂知识是为了了解自己更多，为了了解世界更多。现在才知道，懂更多的知识，也是为了在必须之时帮助到更多的人。
All the while, I red to understand myself more and also to understand this world better. Now I realize that to gain more knowledge is also to help people in need whenever it is necessary.

[Garden] Taman Saujana Hijau @ Putrajaya

Our plan to cycle in KL city during Sunday morning had to be postponed because of work, but we had free time on Monday. Then, we found this public garden located within Presint 11 of Putrajaya which is apparently famous for cycling as well. So, on Monday, we set off to this garden.

This garden is surprisingly beautiful and well-maintained. It is "hanging" on a hill, like a garden in the sky. Since it is on the hill, the views are spectacular with Puchong city view, Serdang city view, Putrajaya view and the residency views surround this hill. The experience is quite like standing on the Mount Eden at Auckland, New Zealand looking at the surrounding cities. [NOTE: Stay tune for update on Mount Eden @ Auckland]

It felt like we were in New Zealand when we were in this garden. The walking, jogging or cycling path is in perfect conditions, smooth and clear of weeds. There are pine trees, cypress trees, beautiful flowers and other attractive plants planted along the path. Each plants is labelled to educate the visitors about who they are, it is very educational. Pines and cypresses, those could be few reasons why we felt like in New Zealand.

Aside from walking, cycling and jogging, visitors can also do some simple hike with readily made wooden staircases. Starting from the bottom of the hill, with some walking distance and then to the top of the hill. Then, enjoy the city views at the top of the hill as well as the European garden. 

There are simple seats available in few spots with beautiful plants as background for visitors to enjoy the views and the breeze. There are also special rest stops with fresh flowers/plants as decoration. Couples can come here for nice memory photos or even for wedding photos.

There are three themed garden here. Europe, English and Oriental. People can choose to come here for a leisure picnic with one of those as their choice. It would be a different experience in this unique garden. People will definitely love it. Totally envy people who lives nearby who get to enjoy this garden as often as they want.

[Food Diary] Polo Bun @ Old Town White Coffee

The best Polo Bun I ever eaten was from Old Town White Coffee. However, it is not easy to find a good one from any Old Town White Coffee. Recently, I finally found it in Jalan Kuching branch after Aman Suria branch closed.

The bun is heated to a acceptable temperature by human mouth. It is cut into half and there is a thick slide of butter sandwiched in between the halves. Best time to eat is when it is served before the butter melted. The bite is started with soft feel of the Polo Bun and ended with hard feel toward the middle of the bun. It is like eating an ice-cream. The sweetness followed with butter mixing with the bun. Perfect!

[Tea Appreciation] Normann Copenhagen Rooibos Tea @ Kopenhagen Cafe

After visiting sister, it was too late for a lunch and it was too early for a dinner. So, we decided to stop by a cafe to grab some snacks and a cup of tea as usual.

Name : Rooibus Tea
Brand : Normann Copenhagen

Feeling : When it was served, there was a strong aroma which I was pretty sure that it was vanilla. When I gave it a sip, there was a flavor that was similar to vanilla. I remembered rooibos don't have strong aroma and flavor as this tea, it should be near-tasteless but with mild soothing tea taste. So, I searched for the description of this rooibos tea by Normann Copenhagen. Boom! There is vanilla in it! Amazing! Again, vanilla is used to provide stronger aroma and flavor to the tea.


This is how Normann Copenhagen describes this tea:
This tea has a sweet vanilla kind of flavor with a hint of rhubarb. The tea contains a minimum amount of tannic acid and caffeine and is full of beneficial antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

[Travel things] Philosopher's Walk of Kyoto City

According to Japan-Guide.com, Philosopher's Walk gets its name due to Nishida Kitaro, one of Japan's most famous philosophers, who was said to practice meditation while walking this route on his daily commute to Kyoto University. Refer to link below for more information.

It was slightly earlier than Sakura season when we traveled this walk. The Walk was with a row of nearly 100% flower-less and leave-less trees. He randomly saying below sentences for the random nonsense.

'I am thinking about what is the meaning of life. It is about the journey, but not the destination. Destination is death and it is inevitable.'

Although it is just random rumours, but it is full of wisdom for me. It is very true. Life is started on one's birth time and ended on one's death time, the duration in between will be what we call life.

It was so coincidentally that I came across similar topics in a mandarin TEDx talk around the time. She, a 8-year-experience doctor, illustrated life with a marathon journey. When we are tired on the run, we rest but we won't stop. After the rest, we will continue running till the end as the end is our destination. She shared that luckily life has an end that make life more motivating.
