The sight that greeted me at the end of the trail was well worth the effort of the hike. So, there I was, at Chilling Falls on Federal Territory Day, 1 Feb, 08; soaking in, (literally), the beautiful scene of a wall of water gushing down the 20 meter cliff. Chilling River is a fish sanctuary under the protection of Jabatan Perikanaan (Fisheries Department). The p...

No, we weren't at the artillery range, nor were we in the line of canon fire. That was our guide yelling at us to crouch low in the raft as we hit the rapids at Sungai Itek (Duck River). Phew!

One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things. - Henry Miller. Sunday, February 11, 2007. Conquering the Mighty Kinabalu. Whose harebrained idea was it to climb Mount Kinabalu? 8221; I muttered while clinging on for dear life on a rope and trying to haul my sorry ass up the steep incline. Darn, it was my choice to tag along. Sigh. why can’t I be content with lazing on the beach and taking a stroll in the park? Lampu ‘tu bergerak! 8221; (Liar, the lamp is a moving target!

That must the thousandth time I've asked that question. The fifth breakdown was the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back. Mr Bus Driver gave up trying to fix it. By then, dusk was upon us and darkness was beginning to shroud the countryside. No knights in shining armour charged to the rescue but the bus driver from...Vigorous nods a...

One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things. - Henry Miller. Monday, June 25, 2007. Pulau Tenggol 18-20th May 2007. Which island did you say you were going?
