Chiang Mai - a short trip

Flew to Chiang Mai for a short weekend break. From Kuching we departed and continued on with a flight from KLIA2 (delayed until 4pm).






As usual, go crazy on the delicious Thai foods. Reasonable prices despite weak Malaysian Ringgit(RM7.45 to 100baht).

The Chronicle :Sungai Padas (White Water Rafting)

Image
My second trip to Kota Kinabalu this year and this time around I'm killing two birds with one stone. I booked another trip to the Padas River in Sabah for White Water Rafting and joined a 10KM Marathon. As usual, my partner in crime would have to be Melisa. She persuaded me to join the marathon and in return I coaxed her into agreeing for a white water rafting adventure down the rapids. White Water Rafting (3 May 2014) We woke up early in the morning (5 a.m.) and headed straight to a 24-hour convenience store for a quick breakfast. The shuttle van came shortly after that. There were approximately 8-9 people in the van and our driver cum our guide; Ash drove us down to Beaufort town. It was an hour and thirty minutes drive to Beaufort. The trip would require us to take a train to the rural part of Beaufort for the starting point of the water rafting. It was a very small train (there were only three short coaches) and some of the passengers had to sit on the floor while some

Stiff Neck and Pillow

Image
So I woke up and felt a sharp pain behind my neck. It was quite mild when I just woke up but it worsen by the hours. Technically, I was driving in a very static mode. I had to move my upper torso just look at the side mirror before making any exit or making any turns! I am pretty people think that I am weird that day. Stopped by a supermarket and bought a medicinal plaster for my neck. It is called Tokusen Strong.A medicinal plaster that you paste on your body.... We call it "koyok" at home :) It is soothing and it has a warm feeling. It also has a strong spicy smell. Some people dislike the smell but I quite like it for the record! It reminds me of old Chinese medicines...as Chinese traditional remedies are quite strong and effective. It made me sleepy too! So, I had to work the whole day with my stiff neck. Went out for lunch with my stiff neck too and took shower later in the evening with my stiff neck. Apparently, we the Bidayuhs have a very o

Why I deactivated my FB

There are a few solid reasons that drove me to this path of having my FB deactivated: #1 It Is an Addiction I somehow came to a simple conclusion that I might be addicted to FB. I actually sense that revelation 2 years ago but I was in a denial state. I told myself countless times that it is normal to check/ go into my FB account like everyday. I reasoned to myself by saying that checking FB is as important as checking my office emails. However, I ended up hogging and stalking people's pages most of the time. Somehow, I come to term that it is unhealthy and quite disturbing. I don't want FB to control my life and make myself a public nuisance. #2 It Is a Silly Distraction I discovered that my FB has becoming my number 1 priority whenever I am at thedesk. My office emails and heaps of works came later. I always say this to myself; 5 mins of FB wouldn't hurt but truth is...I ended up wasting almost 45 mins of my daily life and wandering aimlessly about..in and out
