April 23 Ulu Ulu Temburong 14 April 2009One year later, I am back.
Again with Mark Weng and his assistant Ally.
Back to the Ulu Ulu National Resort for a day trip, to challenge my fear of height.
This time, i said to myself, at least stop in the middle of the track and enjoy the view a bit.
Like last year,
 Ulu ulu resort is currently under construction. Upon arrival, whatever nature one might enjoy is being replaced by ugly sights of crane and piling sounds. Don't matter, objective is not to stay overnight at the resort anyway.
 After some beverages and registering in, we are all set to go. Unlike last year, which we hike all the way from the resort, through the suspension bridge to the canopy walk, there is a detour ala shortcut this time round. I heard from our longboat driver that the suspension bridge is currently being "serviced?" and that's the reason we were being transported via short cut much closer to the canopy walk.
Short walk of maybe 10min and there we are.
We were there first, before the rest of the tour group. I was still collecting my breath and my pschy for the task but Mark was eager to up the canopy already.
Damn, okay Mark went first, followed by Ally with me at the tail end.
After around 2 flights of stairs, Ally decided to pull out. Great, heaping more pressures. My legs are crumbling below me and now i have to match the speed of Mark.
Why does the whole structure have to be like moving side to side, can't they just be still!
Nevertheless, long story short, I climbed up, walk across and came down the canopy, wihtout really breaking strides.
I FAILED yet again. This is the consolation pic i took with a teenage girl in front of me, who managed to catch up with me. I guess i was that slow and careful.
As evident from the photo, i wasn't really paying attention to anything else but to get down to GROUND LEVEL. I reckon i wasn't so bad, there were a couple of macho guy who didn't do the climb.
 Had our lunch then. I recall having the same dishes last year. Hmmm....my legs are still "lembut".
This year something different did occur tho, the guide brought us to a small waterfall for a swim.
It is located along the river and have to walk into the forest to find it.
Its like a hidden treasure thingy. Shoes are now wet but clean from mud.
Can't wait to go home. Maybe same time next year, i shall learn to stop and admire treetops and forest.
February 23 Miri Trip 21 to 22 Feb 2009Exactly one year of not writing blog. Always say i would document down my oversea trip since i have a short memory.
This is a short trip, just across the border.
No photos as i have no camera. Seems like i have got out of habit of taking pictures. Maybe less blogging thats why.

January 18 I am NILIts been a month since i touched down in Brunei
I will try to update this blog as frequently as possible and so my oversea friends will know what the heck is going on here in Brunei and with my life.
Anyway, i will share an incidence during my birthday dinner which is truly horribly comical. I am not even sure if this will happen anywhere else.
30th, after a hard day work at our company warehouse clearance sale, my family organised a birthday dinner for me at I-lotus.
The food was good and suprisingly my dear mum even got me a birthday cake.
However, more SHOCKINGly, the cake was addressed to "NIL". Well, wouldn't you think i will know if my name is Nil?
Who the heck is Nil? Don't believe me, look at pic below.
Well, the funny story is this.
When my mum ordered the cake, she did not want to put down any messages.
So, the kind lady at the cake shop put down NIL to messages to be included in the cake.
Suprise, suprise, must be some sort mega miscomm, the chef put the NIL in the cake anyway.
Come on, logically who is called NIL? wouldn't you at least verified?
I don't know whether this kind of comical mishaps only happen here.
Looking at it positively, i will remember this birthday for a while and the cake was super.
p.s. Nil, is god trying send me a message? How how ironic. What are you trying to tell me? I am Nil?
December 17 Singapore Dec 07A summary of my most recent trip to Singapore.
I have visited Singapore lots of time but usually it's only for transit purposes with maximum stay of maybe 2 nights. This was the first time i felt like a tourist with friends and my sister showing me around.
Monday 10th Dec
Tuesday 11th Dec
Wednesday 12th Dec
Thursday 13th Dec
Friday 14th Dec
Overall, a good few days with little rest, good food, good alcohol and most of all good companies.
As for the shoppings, I actually didn't buy anything except for some CDs. Interesting.
Maybe, it wasn't that time of the year for me to shop.
