At the beach

ooooooo... its empty... everyone still sleepy in da morning ya. In this city everyone pretty lazy getting up early in the morning. I came early to visit my kitty friend before heading to church.

Along the Sunset

Yet another sunny day down the road. I do feel very moody today cycling beside the beach and feel the soft glare on my sunglasses with nice slow mp3 music in my ears play me Venice style "Undine" song into my mind...all relax and cooling. Surprisingly the bird nearby bushes of tree flew slow side by side as i pedal down the lane where tree started to shed its leaves and wind blew as i passed by. Out here i feel more adventurous like a new world is there waiting for me to explore and see wonders of the scenery as it goes sunset to dawn as the sun goes down behind shadowy building glittering with diamonds light. The clouds looks amazingly awesome pink orange as i cycle up the hill for home. By night alone i go enjoy the night life and a great simple meal. The waiters and the cook welcomes and greet me with a smile serving me my favorite dishes. People around me, family, couples and normal people enjoying their night out in colorful feelings cheering the scene. I was enjoying myself, keep my mind blank and when i got home i feel relaxed and quickly doze in slumber with a smile.

Breezy Sunday. Nostalgia returns

Fortunately Sunday daylight looks very fine, weather sunny, blue sky and bright sunlight, the sky so blue and our mountain biking group planing to ride near the local forest beside the beaches. In the afternoon we did couple of our up and down the hills and into the wood and out again back to the car park facing the seashore. The wind blew so nicely and the wave kept pouncing. The sounds so relaxing. The salty sand smell reminds me the good old days when me, my sister and my father used to bring me out for a swim and picnic near the beach. It was very happy moments when i was a kid. Its nice to be out here and sense the presence of the past as i sit facing to the sunset sunk slowly behind the golden wavy sea. I wish i was born young again and be with my active father out into the beach play like there's nothing to worry about.

Adventure returns!

Another great adventure day is here again, Sunday is always a golden holiday for me. The beach, blue sky, green nature and windy breezy wind...umm yeah some coconuts! Well last Sunday me and a group of friends went out riding on out mountain bikes out into the Borneo Forest in the outskirt of Miri City, a few miles away from hustle bustle of busy cities. We started our journey from the beach. Landed at 3.30pm and on the move by 3.50pm toward front end of local beach villages along the seaside. From there we penetrate through into the forest. Thick bushes, narrow trails and cracky soils and roots all are an exciting challenges pounced onto our physical strength. A few miles in the forest i was having a tyre puncture, the whole pack move on leaving me behind and a friend to accompany me while i'm fixing the tyre. A few minutes later me and my buddy on the move through the grassy fields backdropped with beautifully hilly scenery...too bad we have to endure some muddy pot holes. Around us looks like some African savana trails with that trees around us look alike ones. The pack that move ahead of us was not in our sights and way too fasr to reach since they all gone into dark narrow twisty forests. But we manage to zig zag in the jungle since we've been here couples of time without worries of getting lost. We reached a small river where we have to hike up our bike over it, then passes some mangroove of Jackfruits trees..there too many over grown fruit fell down lay wasted and smell very strong too, After zig zagging for few hours both of us manage to reunite wit the rest of the cycling pack at the intersection of a path in the middle of local villages. So we continue to south direction towards hilly area and going down into cracky soily trails which leads to Borneo Lambir National Park.
.......and so we ride and ride and ride and ride and ride......few hours later we turn back after found a dead end where big trees and unpaved trails blocking our route to designated destination. At 6.30pm we turm around and head back home on reverse direction. This time we sprint all the way to the finishing point. Its win win situation to see who reached to the finishing line which is where we parked our cars. I hammered my bike really hard and whipped at 57Km/h speed. Later i ended at 4th place! not bad at all. 30 minutes later the whole rides manage to gather around and pop-up some cold iced isotonic drinks. Its was sunset, we sat around facing the beach scenery looking at sundown turn romantic orange...it was beautiful! After a few chat and laugh we head back home....ahhhhh!!!! time not wasted...i love my life, life well spent enjoying whats surround us.
