SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT


....A fabulous start to a fantabulous weekend....


"Let's do something crazy."

That alone should have triggered alarm signals like mad but believe it or not, my first thought was "At last.....'do something' and 'crazy' in the same sentence!"

Haven't come across that for ages!


(As if driving all the way across the border for sushi wasn't 'crazy' enough)

"Let's climb Canada Hill."

Ok....how hard could that be?


Well, let's just say I haven't sweat that much since I left the gym and could have gotten stuck in the middle of the jungle after sunset (although I have a feeling that it was intentionally staged to 'build character')

So who in their rightful mind would want to hike in the dark?

Me!!!!

If you want to know how I performed, ask Taiko Tan (although I do feel he won't like that moniker, let's see how he responds, if he gets to read this of course).

And here's proof of my getting down and dirty.




There goes my RM200 Nike trainers. They've served me well.

But I wasn't bothered.


And what's the best way to reward oneself after such tyranny? (Well, track is quite easy to be frank).

An Italian dinner and some good ol-skool Nirvana!

Everytime I go up to the Petroleum Museum at the grand old lady, I always see people in their walking/ trekking attire. I sometimes wonder if the walk/climb is challenging. One thing for sure, the sunset view from the top is inspiring.

Are you in Miri for good or just stationed there temporarily?

Hey Kiddo,

That was just a sneaky peeky on what real madness will be - sleep with one eye open, gripping your pillow tight.

hey agus! :)

how are things there? good to hear from you. i'll be stationed here for a year, initially. not sure what'll happen beyond that. i don't know what you'll consider a challenging climb but it's not exactly a walk in the park either ;)
