Tabur, Tabur..

So I went to Bukit Tabur. Being set smack in between construction works and the like and nature in its raw beauty, it was a sight to behold.

Go for it! With plenty of exercise in store, good company and nature all around you, what could be better?

Just a few pictures to whet your appetite (:

The better quality pics are from Ivan. Me only use mobile la.


Having breakfast. Yeah.

Ivan with his D80.



The boys taking a breather.

Seriously, you would not want to take this plunge. A sheer drop. Nice shoes there eh? You should see it now. With mud on it and some parts peeling off ):





One of the few cliffs we had to cross. So you get the idea la. hahah.

Took this at one of the summits. Its amazing to find such a delicate thing of beauty in the mist of sand and grub.



Apparently the festivities were held up here as well.






Sean and his sexy leg(s).


Cheh...


Sorry ah, last picture not clear. Scaled it down A LOT.

Seriously, go for it guys. It's worth the trip.

And I just found out Jamiroquai is coming to the circuit! Aww man! Should I go for it? Someone pleeease convince me to go!

Here We Go...YES!

Hi there everyone. So I am back in Uni for my 4th semester. Another 2 to go before I graduate. As they say, time do flies at a breakneck pace.

For first week, only lectures were on and that gave me plenty of time for tennis. Sometimes as much as two sessions a day. There's just something about the court that ropes you to it. Oh, and I've heard that Tioman's a duty free zone.

So back to the daily grind? Two sides to this I guess. Either you slog through it and treat it as an formality or you do what Captain Mike did.

Ben: Morning, Captain. Can you take us out?

Capt Mike: Do you know what day it is?

Ben: Sunday.

Capt Mike: You know what that means? It means that I was very drunk last night.

Ben: You're drunk every night.

Capt Mike: Is that a girl?

Ben: A close friend. I want to show her the river.

Capt Mike: I'm not supposed to go joy-ridin' with civilians. I could lose my license.

Capt Mike: What are you waiting for?

Now that's the spirit lads! Grab life by the balls with your head fixed forward like a steel shaft implanted in the very core of your neck.

That's how I'm gonna face it. You only live once. Better to experience it than to sit back on your fat ass swinging your feet daintily. Pretending you know it all where in your case it all comes based on head knowledge. I am NOT going to miss out on what life has to offer. The transparent beauty of life where in most cases are hidden in nooks and corners, requiring you to go the distance to get it.
