Happy Birthday little princess

Its my cousins little pricess birthday. Wishes her lots of luck and happiness. I wish i had many birthday as she does but i can't recall anything having my birthday even when i'm at 3 year old..none. The party was great plus lots of food was served. Satays, sweet curry, fried chicken, chocolate cakes, wines, fried noodles and lots of mouth watering cuisines on the table...i tell you these people knows how to cook which is why i never missed their party. I just lost a few pounds and another pounds just refill back into my body. This week i have to do more intense ride to get rid of my weight and prepare for another invitation party, lol.

Opps! Its Mooncake festival dinner today!

Was surpise that today was Mooncake festival and everyone was in the rushed to get back home to celebrate the occasion. My sister already made a plan ahead for taking the whole family and her fiance for dinner at hotel. Its been quite a while we haven't had dine outside our home at night. Lots of dummy growling dishes was served including 4 seasons cuisine, steam bass fished, sweet mixed veges, bbq duck, toated chicken dumplings, tasty chicken soup, rices, sweet seasoned cutted jelly fish and some dessert. Was a great dinner for this week especially with family. Being absent minded to know whats happening inside the calendar was my obvious personal traits. Sometimes i do forget my own birthday.

Mind over body, mind over the weather

"Yes i can control the weather!, Yes i can control the weather!,...now move! sshuuuu shuuuuu!! sshuuuu shuuuuu!! sshuuuu shuuuuu!!, don't come back unless i said so". Duh! the gloomy cloud returns again signaling early arrival of rain. Raining seasons has return to spoil my outdoors plans. Dang!

Nights of double plate

As usually everday we enjoy cycling after a day stuck in the office. After 3 hours swivelling every corner of the district we settle down in late evening for a nice warm dinner in the open air cafe. we had Salad chicken rice for dinner. I went two round of plate to keep me happy. Surprisingly Miri city have variety of different shape and sizes of Salad Chiken rice cuisine. Unlike Kuching City where all Salad Chicken rice looks constantly same in design and decoration (but they are all crispy), Miri have comes with different styling, flavour and sometimes if unlucky you might feel like you're eating bubbly plastics on some 'cheapy' restaurant...caution. However today i'm quite happy with their dishes, chicken meat are very tender, easy to much, salads mayonaise are properly decorated like strings and rices are fried mix with nicely cut springy eggs and minced veges! yum! yum!..Which is why i went two rounds for it. Bruppp!!

Moonless ride!

Evening looks gloomy but that doesn't stop us enjoying our evening mountain bike ride into urban city. The wind blew strong, after few miles we stroll with our bike around the city we decided to have a break near by cosy restaurant and have our dinner outside in the open. Cold wind and sounds of bustling busy people around us provide cheering scene and feel like we're on tour in foreign places. BBQ lamb chop rice, Wantan soup, fried black pepper beef kolo me and carbonate drinks keep us full for the day. The rain drizzle so we decided to stick around chatting about our good old time taking our past adventure on bikes.

Never sleeps during the day; old man used to say.

Due to global weather changes the rains seems to pour almost everyday especially during the daylight from noon till evening. Its very annoying since it does that every Sunday cause that's when my outdoor schedules are. Putting myself behind computer work my project all day every weekend can be tiring, i always ended up in a "screen saver" sleeping all day begin to feel tired to stare in front of LCD too long. It hits me bad starting from 2.00pm till 8.00pm dozing me into deep dreamy state. 100% i will encounter creepy and thrilling dream during the day when the sun still up. Like anyday such as today the dream will always be an adventure roaming inside old abandoned buildings searching for something that doesn't seems to add to my purpose yet walking through my dreams is almost more like walking through game titles like "Silent Hill" or "Bio Hazard" except those zombie and scary physical creature are replaced by roaming ghosts savaging whats left by humanity. In those dream i seems to hide behinds undisclosed placed where those things unable to spot me or us around. At the end always ended up in a chase scene and let me to physically awake from slumber before dinner. My old man always used warn me not to sleep during he day, but i can't help myself since the breezy drizzle of the rain can be very much encouraging to put me into sleep mode. There's a reason or fact why our old man advice can be true to why we should be sleeping at that time, sometimes they say "unwanted things" stays at home during the day to shelter away from sunlight and seek to occupy a person who remain in deep trance by disturbing our dreamy activity. Who knows whats might happen if we continue to dream on without awaken for longer hours.

BBQ ride all evening

We kick of at 3pm with long ride via main road towards Sungai Rait before enter the dusty rocky off-road longing trails which took almost an hour plus another 45 minutes a blast into the jungle trails behind Taman Tunku and exit towards Esplanade at full speed cause we can smelll mouth watering BBQ waiting for us at the finish line which we arrived at 5.15pm. We grab ourself some BBQ meat, salads, veges, fishes, carbonate drinks and at the end few bottles of beers. We gather around for chats and some laughs about funny stories, plus some heavy beers few get too carried away and got doze behind the pickup. We spend our happy hours till almost hit 10pm and then we packed for home before we got to much intoxicated with foods and beers. At night it was hot, my body felt so heavy and hot because my tummy all full. What a day. Bbrrrrppppp!!!.....ahhhhhh!!!

Up and down we go.

Another episode going and down, up and down, up and down again. Just like any Sunday on mountain bikes.

Friends happy hour

Its great to hang around with your buddies after work. Today is special day for my biking buddies, another got his new bike setup and another just got his first car, a cool leisure wagon car and we are really happy to share his happiness with us. Like every old boys we hangout at the bike shop talk lots of stuff and having great times with left overs of cold beer in our hands, we knew stranded at home isn't fun at all so being out there is thrilling. Later we hit the local Restaurant for a free dinner treat courtesy of our friends as appreciation for getting a new car and best time to get around spending happy hours and lots to talk about on this lovely late friday evening. Thanks to William and Eugene i don't have to spent much for my dinner. Thanks bud.

Mind boggling ride.

Last Sunday was a bit mind boggling, despite having going up and down and swirling around dusty and muddy path venture in a new trails, were very much low on fuel after running for hours. Unlike our previous ride this one comes to a dead stop where no ones knows where we are actually going. Were are on top of the work looking high into blue horizon searching for an exit. 1 hour before dark we continue crept through murky dead forest....no joy. At 6.45pm we manage to find our way out by climbing over dense bushy trails leading to the edge of the highest clif where we have to climb down to nearest logging trails which we have to danggling our self going down the steep ravine aided with the help of few riders hand to keep us hagging down slowly toward the ground. 10 minutes before Sunday handful of rider manage to move on to pass by 5 final hill climb before escaping the dark forest. At 7.00pm its totally dark. Since i forgot to bring by portable headlight i have to chase our leading rider Richard who's on his HID light as my only hope of light source. Dangerously we travel at staggering speed blindly on rough and unpredictable trails guided only by narrow spot of lights. 5 minutes before reaching the destination we arrive at local tarmac road which leads to our finishing point where we park our car. Sign of relieve we sped happily for home.
