Mt Rinjani


Trekking on Mt Rinjani from 25 Nov to 28 Nov 2005 with Tony & Co. and spent 4 day & 3 nights on the mountain. I should say it is quite a good trek excluding the last 200m climb to the top as it is very sandy up there. For every 2 steps up, you will slide 1 step down. I had spent abt 1 hour plus climbing up the last part.

We were very lucky, really lucky. Going trekking during the monsoon could be the worst trekking to everyone. We are blessed with sunshine and light wind while another 2 groups of frens started their treks on 29 Nov - 01 Dec 2005 and they had experinced 4 days of rain. I was at Gills isle suntanning but my heart was with them as I looked at Mt Rinjani from there. The whole mountain was covered with dark cloud.

Happy New Year 2005!!!!

A new year had come and the past year had been a fast one for me..... Currently in my office, so called working, just finish the countdown with my frens over MSN while my frens are doing their countdown somewhere else.

Let me do a recap of what I have done for this past one year:

For the first months of 2004, I think I have been enjoying and relaxing as I was going to ORD liao. Nothing was being planned out as I tot everything would turn out just fine but I was wrong... The moment that I got my pink IC, I realized that I was unemployed with no income and I need to find a job.

But luckily Sean offered me a part-time job which allowed me to buy some time in searching for a full-time perm job. The job search took for abt 4 months or so and finally landed on my present job. Although it was not goodly paid, need to do 10 hours shift work with no or little meal break, plus no OT pay, I had already worked for 6 month plus liao without taking any MC, leaves and holiday break. Time really flies.

I moved my hse from Jurong West Extension to my present resale flat (3rd one) at Jurong West this year. The move was due to the location was too out of place and most importantly, the previous owner of my old hse killed herself there. It was not made known to me until the move was confirmed and I could feel all my hairs was standing the moment I heard the news. It sounded quite errie and I had lived there since 1999.

Well, that's all folks... Wish that everyone will have a great yr ahead of them.
