This blog is dedicated to all the places I have been on my push bike as well as other interesting places I have visited using the conventional mode of transport. Do visit this site occasionally as I will update after every Sunday Morning Ride.
Didn't managed to jump on my bike this morning but was in Juizhaigou, China doing hiking out in the sticks, 4000m above sea level. It snowed on us as well so it was like freezing cold. Don't worry my balls are still there. The scenery was beautiful beyond words. I shall not even try to express the beauty of it all as mere words will not do it justice. I urge you all to experience what I have experienced by visiting Juizhaigou at least once in a life time.

It was so beautiful that my sore feet and sprained leg from my bicycle accident was all but forgotten. After the hike, reality kicked in and we were scurrying off to find a good massage to relief the agonizing pain.
Kampung Stapok (at home lah) - Sun 28th September 2008
I was left for dead, left to tend to my own bloody miseries. The Sunday Morning Ride (SMR) team was out on their second Sunday ride without me. Last weekend they did a Tondong round trip and more recently they did a Puncak Borneo trip passing through Mambong. All 43km of it and so I heard from the many ravings and pedestal framing at the office after their trip. Sitting here, I am drowned with sorrow, feeling melancholy and dejected for not being there. I vow to come back with a greater vengeance. My two weeks incarceration is up guys. I can walk again… and who says Jesus died long ago. I recall my eldest daughter telling my son, “If you go blind ah, no one can help you. It is not like way back then, they have Jesus”. I was in tears. So folks, see you this coming Sunday. I am back! Not 100% but can do lah…
On this day Sun 28th September, Mark made a name for himself. After 13km he made a turn and headed back without completing the ride. He shall thus be named, “The Turn-Around King”. Anyone who wants to challenge him for the title, (is easy) will just have to make a u-turn less than 13km into the ride. Again, on behalf of all the members of SMR, I would like to congratulate Mark for his rather daring feat. Mark, this time I think you seriously need to consider getting the ultimate “Giant” composite bike.
The XtC Alliance is a lightweight chassis packing real heavyweight performance. Pure efficiency andthe most supple, controlled ride Giant’s engineers can coax out of composite and aluminum alike. It’sgo-fast technology, stripped to its trail-pounding essence.
So what did I do this Sunday morning? I did a bit of domestic as well as spiritual rejuvenation. It’s my youngest daughter, Amelia’s Baptism.
Yes, I renounced Satan again for the third time in 6 yrs (other than during Easter) and inherited another god-wife, err… I mean god-mother. Well actually, if the person is my daughter’s god-mother, won’t she be my god-wife? So meaning to say, I have in total, 2 god-wives and a god-husband who happens to be my sister’s husband. Okay… let’s drop the subject, getting revolting.
