Saigon Tour 2011

Nothing beats a good hot shower and followed by a glass of hot milo after a long and tough ride.



Alhamdulillah...

We cycled more than 120km on this second day of the tour.

After a good lunch - well meals for lunches and dinners so far have been marvelous, we pushed for Ke Ga. A seaside destination about 35km from our lunch stop.

We thought we could reached there in slightly above 2 hours but it took more than 3 and a half hours. When we the junction to route 712 leading to Ke Ga it was about 4pm. The signage said 15km to go.

Doc Olmo suggested for us to proceed; myself and Zul followed suit. We thought we could reach the hotel early and have more time for ourselves. But the headwind was slowing us down again.

As you cut through the headwind you could even hear the sound of the whirlwind buzzing in your ears. The road condition was quite rough and bumpy also slowed us down.

At one point we passed by a school where the school session was just ended. We were practically swarmed by the excited and curious kids. Some even tried to race with us.

That was before we stopped and took some pictures of the natural salt harvesting activities (err, not sure if harvesting is the correct word to describe the activities).






You could see the 'mountain' of the salt by the roadside.

We will be staying here tonite.

Kisah Ibu dan Anak

Abg Akmal : "Ibu, Ibu kena beli ni" sambil menuding ke arah iklan U-zap dalam TV. Ibu : "Kenapa? Ibu dah gemuk ke" Abg Akmal : "Ye lah, Abang rasa Ibu dah gemuk!!". Ibu : "Eishhh, kurang asam punya budak". **************** Anak (jantan) Ku, May be when you are old enough, I will have to pull you aside and give you my fatherly advice - that remark that you just said to your Ibu, don't ever say it again in front of any woman. It could start a world war! ***************** End of filler post. More serious note will come later when I have more time to breathe.

Mental Blogging

I have to apologize the very few kind visitors who may have hopped in and found no new updates. Sorry lah ya. It's not that I was totally out of the blogsphere. I still blogged.....but only in my head. Just like the case when you are making mental notes of what you want to do, I was doing mental blogging almost every day since my last entry in early March. Most of the time, I compose my entry while I was driving to office or when I was taking shower at home. Sometimes I managed to compose one or two paragraphs or may be just one or two sentences. The only difference was instead of typing and post the entries at blogger, I posted the 'entries' in my head. So when there were so many entries were left to accumulate in my head, it may have affected the running of the cpu in my head a bit. May be it got me carried away a bit. Being in the state of blogging but yet not blogging kind of feeling. Until yesterday. Yes I was caught in the traffic jam so bad that I decided to blog via
