Long time no see... (or blog???)

Wow, it's been quite a while since my last entry.
Quite a things (a few not so good) has befallen me the past few weeks.

I'll be heading of to explore Mulu (in Sarawak mid of June). I have been training hard for the trip, as I've heard the trails are quite challenging.
So I've been hiking up bukit jambul and swimming laps at PISA to build up my stamina.

But this sudden splurge of physical activities did take its toll on me. First of all, I sprained my ankle quite badly on one of my trips down Bukit Jambul. That put me out of action for a couple of weeks.
And last weekend, I had a fever. Haven't had one for a while, that i forgot how terrible it felt. My body (especially the joints and muscles) were aching; not to mention the headache.

Anyway, that is all over now, thankfully. And I have re-started my training in earnest again. Though i only have 2 more weeks before the trip.

Was planning to hike up Bkt Jambul today. But unfortunately had to make a U-turn and head back as the road leading up the hill was badly jammed. Not sure why. Accident perhaps.

Ended up just toying around with my dumbbells at home.

Hopefully, the remaining two weeks will be good for me.

Reluctant Advertisement Carrier

Just renewed my road tax.

This is how the reverse side looks like....



Notice anything different?

To my surprise and severe annoyance, there is a huge yellow and red AmAssurance logo and advertisement on it.
I did not ask for this... Heck, I did not even buy my car insurance from them.

This is unfair to other insurance providers, not to mention reluctant folks like me. I don't want to carry any advertisement in my car. I am not driving a taxi, for goodness sake. It is a private car!

But like it or not, i have to carry this ugly advertisement for one whole year.

But why is it there in the first place? Can I charge them for carrying this advertisement? Bloody hell... they didn't even sponsor or contribute anything to my road tax or insurance premium.

What do I get in return for advertising for them? A yellow and red eye-sore, that is what.

Strange things happen in the shower..

While showering today, out of nowhere, one particular song suddenly came to my mind... the theme song for Police Cadet!!! Of all things...



If any of you do remember, this was one of the hottest serial dramas when i was a kid. I think everyone from that era would remember this.

I shared this with a close friend, and guess what... the song brought back old childhood memories, and we started to search for dramas from that time.

So, here it goes... How many do you recall?
