i _ _ _ _ running, but i bought an expensive pair of shoes - the supposed "right arch" for my over-turn-out feet. so i diligently bring them out for jogs every weekend.

i _ _ _ _ the sight of passing trains every time i jog by that corner, reminding me that life is but a routine, doing the right thing at the right time. nothing more nothing less.

i _ _ _ _ that awkward sound made by soccer players when they kick the ball. see, the jogger's path is in between 2 fields. whenever the ball goes over to the other side, i'm paranoid that the ball will hit me.

i _ _ _ _ people walking their dogs in the opposite direction of me. every time i see a JRT nearing, i lose focus. even when they pass me by, i turn to take a second look. once a wired-haired JRT turned back the exact same moment i did, we repeated that gesture twice. although i knew it wasn't you.

i _ _ _ _ children who park their tricycles and spill their toys along the jogger's path. why doesn't their parents do anything about it? i don't go running into the field or obstruct the goal post so why can't they be more considerate?

today i want to start _ _ _ _ ing the things i _ _ _ _.

Kuching - Semenggoh Wildlife Centre

Orang Utan Rehabilitation

Feeding Times
Morning: 9.00 am to 10.00am
Afternoon: 3.00 pm to 3.30 pm

I love how the orang utans are free to roam. They are trained as "semi-wildlife" - they don't attack humans (unless people get too near) and they are not trapped in an exclosure.

Kuching - what a sight!



The window view revealed the beautiful curves between the mountain, the sea and the river... S P L E N D I D !





As the car made its way out of the airport, I was so thrilled to see the lamp posts along the way - they looked like birds in flight! With the mountains in the background, I felt close to mother nature again - a feeling that I felt so strongly when I was in Colorado.




The girls were dozing off in the car and all of a sudden, I caught sight of the reflection on the lake. Joey's friend, Dick, was really nice to make an introduction and a detour into the secluded compound. This is the Sarawak State Library (a.k.a Pustaka Negeri) - tucked mysteriously among the trees and sitting majestically on the lake. Dick pulled the car by the road side and I totally forgot about how tired the girls might be and how much the mosquitoes wanted to suck my blood, I was so blown away. Especially with the full moon in sight. I began to visualise how going to the library could be like a walk in the park. I love lakes. I want to come back again.

One fine day at work, Irene exclaimed "Shall we go Hong Kong?!!" She decided that we should have our annual "department outing" - somewhere. To me, anywhere is good! That very night, her text msg said "Bring your passport, we are going to Macau!" haa i DID bring my passport the very next day! Every week of december seems so impossible and january seems so far away. We wanted something to look forward to, soon. What about november? Joey is going back home. Shall we? Shall we? Shall we??
