Good Bye Big Blue Building

If you ask what is Section 14 landmark, the most common answer you will get is it is, somewhere the big blue building is located. Well by the end of this year, there will not be any more big blue building to be a landmark. Sadly there are going to bring down the whole building to build some other building. The reason they are doing so is there are going to control the traffic so that it won't cause the jam over there.

I am a pure PJ boy, i grew up in this neighborhood and i always go to the Jaya building to hang around since i am a little boy. Once the building is going to be demolished, i am surely going to be missing this building and not forgetting all the convenience that the building provides. From simply hanging out at Starbucks for a cup of coffee(Once in a lifetime only), place to play snooker, last minute shopping for some cheap cloths, and as a student i am surely going to miss Popular in Jaya.

So before they bring down the building, i just take some pictures all to remember "The Great Big Blue Building" of Jaya.

Landmark that had been for years: This is taken right outside the building.

The entrance of the building.

A real great place to have expensive coffee and to use wi-fi.

The best place to buy the cheapest and nicest cloths in Section 14 area.

The prefect place to shop for stationary and buy magazine.

Psalms Oasis: This shop is great is you want to buy anything for your Christian Friends.

The picture of the Old Jaya and the current Jaya(I am too sure will they be any Jaya anymore after this.)

The spiral staircairs.

The only place where you can see the busy traffic of Section 14.

Most of the shop over here had already start shifting out to other buildings such as the opposite Jaya 33, 3 2 Square and the just opened Jaya One. So i guess here is where i end my post for now, hope you guys enjoy the pictures.

The Beauty Of Pongal

Last Friday my school have a Pongal celebration organized by the Hindu and Tamil society. Pongal is being celebrated by Indians as it represents the end of Harvest Festival. Here i joined the event and i have taken some photograph using my friend 's camera. On that day there is few interesting activities that happen and i manage to capture most of the events. Below are the pictures that i have taken.

The Indians celebrated Pongal by boiling rice with milk, topped with brown sugar with cashew nuts in a pot. So what they do is they make their own fire and let the rice to boil.

As we can see, there is many students who took part in this event.

Boiling the rice alone is easy but maintaining the fire in order to cook the fire maybe some tough work.

Once the rice is cooked, the moment the rice overflowed from the pot, they must shout "Pongal" as it is a custom of this festival which means a new year blessed with good tiding.

After that we bring the pot filled with rice and putting all the rice that is cooked and lay it down on the banana leaf.

Look at all the rice that that they all cooked on that day.

Another Indian Food that we have was Vadai.

Besides the rice cooking event we have another activities that is eating the sugar-cane constest. The rules are simple, who ever finish bitting of the sugar-cane with their teeth the fastest wins.

And our champion of the day goes to......

This picture will wrap up my post for this event, i Hope you guys enjoy the pics and thanks for reading.

Welcome To The Koh's Family


Here i welcome you all to Koh Family Restaurant. This is located at the newest food heaven that is available, which is Bandar Puteri, Puchong. What is the good part of this area? The food is good, plenty of parking spaces, and most of the restaurant is clean. It is so happen i entered this restaurant because i had been craving for Chinese food that time.

Take a look at the interior of the restaurant. As you all can see it quite simple as in there is no fancy table and chairs around. They decorated their shop with some Chinese material stuff such as Chinese Calligraphy Art, pictures and paintings. This place is not air conditioned but it is pretty cooling inside.

Next i ordered what i wanted and the menu i picked was all simple dishes. The ordering part can be a real test because the lady that entertained me was speaking Mandrin to me. Luckily i manage to use whatever knowledge i know in Mandrin and i successfully ordered my meal. Hopefully she really understand what i told her.

My mom and dad drinks; From the left: "Fruity Cincau" and "Tropical Sour Plum"
"Fruity Cincau" is like any ordinary Cincau drinks you can find but the put some Nata De Coco in it to give it a fruity taste. The sour plum drinks is just taste fine to me and there is nothing special about it.

What happen when Apple meets with sour plum? We get my drink our here. If you can figure what drink i am drinking it is pretty obvious. "Apple Sour Plum". The sweetness of apple juice and the taste of sour plum. What can i say? It is simply just refreshing.

As for the food we just ordered 3 simple dishes, consisting of fish dishes, a "taofu" dish and a vegetable.


Our first dish, the "Fried Brinjal with Salted Fish". This dish is really good and it is not easy to be cook at home also. Once my mom tried to experiment on her dishes and she deep fried the brinjal. Her brinjal does not turn out that well as it absorb all the oil and become really soggy. In this dish, the brinjal is not soggy and it is pretty dry. Wonder how they do it?


This is "Thai Style Fried Bean Curd". This this is the killer. The Thai sauce is opens up your appetite and makes you eat more. The Bean Curd is fried like the "Taofu Bakar" we can find at any hawker store, crispy and crunchy.


Lastly our last dish, " Kerabu Promphet Fish". I normally dislike eating fish but this time i got to make a exception. This fish is delicious. The fish is really crispy and it goes well with the "Kerabu" . It may be a little spicy because it have some cili-padi in it but it is okay if you be careful and not to eat the cili-padi.

Overall all the dishes and the drinks sum up to a total less then RM 70, which makes it affordable. Here are the details of the restaurant.
