Xj- Happy Bday!!!=)

Blue Upon Green

Blue Upon Green
i pause to breathe;
looking ahead, the mud-path,
lined by onlooking trees
and overshadowing bushes,
runs on -
thinning out threadline
into the diminishing distance
where a patch of blue
descends upon
a patch of green
my mind wanders
beyond the wall of blue
upon green
and chances upon
treasures of unseen wonders,
a blue so much bluer
and a green much greener
in between the secrets
of recreating
a maker's dream

First days of 2009

Eve of 09

We celebrate the eve of 09 with steamboat dinner, Giant snacks attack, east coast park countdown, cycling through the night using the park connectors, stopping @ changi village for supper & loyang temple for the first pray, embracing the morning dew, first rays of sunlight, savouring BK breakfast & finally home sweet home. (Refer to XQ's blog for details)

1st day of 09

Home by noon for a quick nap after the overnight cycling. Shagged. Kopi @ Yakun for some catching up. Nap's bday dinner @ The Ship with the gang.

2nd day of 09

Hit back to office for work. White water rafting trip from Fri night to Sun 6am. Yippee finally! I hope it'll be a fun xperience!

Aftermath of rafting:

It was fabulous! Considering the fact that Ipoh had been raining for 3 consecutive days, the current was strong. Due to safety, we had to forgo slim river & headed to kampar river instead. Tip learnt: Stop paddling to ride on the rapids, hold on tight, lean in if you want to prevent falling off your raft @ strong currents!
