my country is in trouble...

there is so much to say, nothing said will help... everything is sensitive, sentiments and anger run deep... every issue will bring us back to the racial, political and economical rut we're in... but we just sit back and watch, as the sampan were on springs a leak... sigh... oh, we sigh too and throw our hands in the air and say there's nothing we can do...

i think it's time we get on our knees and start praying real hard...

a month of mountains

well, most of you know i've been hitting the trails quite a bit this month... went herping last night in janda baik for a few hours... must say the jungle there is quite a serene place at night... not so for ledang where giant cicadas cause loads of noise, and little grey birds make sounds that echo through the trees... too bad ledang is closed to hikers for the time being... anyway, what are my blogs without pictures? here are some shots from 1st may ledang trip with the guys...

things about kk

Sorry for not posting for so long... Photobucket has been abit of a pain while uploading... Here are some things i observed about kk...


1. people here are friendlier
2. there are 4wds everywhere
3. they have many mini round-a-bouts
4. lots of people speak hakka
5. this city seems alot safer
6. utensils and sauces are kept in a big plastic container on tables in makan shops
7. there are churches all over
8. public toilets are in every corner (and clean!)
9. sunsets are not necessarily nicer than in kl (only you actually have time to sit and watch)
10. parking tickets are still the system here (creates job opportunities!)

:P
