Trip 05-06: Day 3 - Highland

We were able to rent a car. It was my sis' landlord's car. It was a small car - comparable with Kancil. This was the not-so-common Daihatsu Charade with auto transmission and low cc (I guess should be 1.1L or lesser).

We started our journey to Kundasang about 8am. The journey is uphill all the way and the distance was about 80km. Thanks to the underpowered car, it took us about an hour and half to reach there.

We visited the town of Kundasang where there offered a splendid mountain view. With a little endurance of the car, we managed to stop by Desa farm. It was a cow farm with greenery scene not common in Malaysia. I suppose our Fernleaf's commersial ad was done here. Had it not having cloudy day, we would have Kinabalu mountain as backdrop. Good place for photography.

We stopped over in Ranau for lunch before proceeded to hot spring. Instead of soaking in the tub, SY and I went for canopy walk and waterfall. It was a time for work out though.

We went back to KK around 4pm. This time it required shorter time to reach the destination as it was all descending way.

Dinner was in Damai. There were 2 rows of shops having tables in the walk way. Much like SS2 environment. In this place I had the best roasted chicken wing in town.

Trip 01-06.....rough itinerary

Category: Travel OK, time is catching up. I have about 3 weeks left before the trip. Have drafted out initial itinerary: 6 May - Fly to BKK and transit to Udon Thani. From Udon Thani, go to Nong Khai and cross over Laos border. Immigration office opens until 10pm. Hope to reach Vientiane before midnite. 7 May - Excursion around Vientiane. 8 May - Travel to Vang Vieng. Not really want to spend 11 hours on the bus to get to Luang Prabang. Have a pit stop will be nicer. 9 May - Continue to Luang Prabang. 10 May - Excursion around Luang Prabang. 11 May - Slow boat to Pak Beng. Mandatory pit stop due to slowliness of the boat. 12 May - Slow boat to Huoy Xai. I guess have to over night here (immigration office might be closed at time of arrival). 13 May - Cross over to Thailand. Might not stay in Chiang Rai. Proceed to Chiang Mai. 14 May -Back to Malaysia.

Dangers Men Face #1 - A Dangerous Journey

As we live our life in this fallen world, we are exposed to all sort of "dangers". Danger brings different meaning and experience to each individual. But the danger which we fear the most are the ones we do not see until it is too late. No doubt satan brings good disguise until the victim slowly entrapped into sweet temptation. Each one of us have dreams. Our dreams somehow change along the course of life. Most of the members felt that perspective and dream change as we follow Christ. Dangers come in whether we know it or not. If we are not aware, dangers will destroy our dreams. The members believe the prominent danger that Christians are facing is danger of dream. Christians tend dare not to have big dream (big dream for spiritual work). This could be due to biblical values which have molded the perspective of each Christians. Martin Luther did have a big dream. There are five dangers to be explored: danger of loss, danger of sin, danger of freezing, danger of witdrawal and...

Was bought at a price

So He was crucified on that day, two thousand years ago. Three days later He was risen. And because of this, we were bought at a price (1 Cor 6:20). This should reminds us not to waste our life or do something nonsense. Lately was quite indulged in cyber world until the TV and dvd player become insignificant (ever since signed up the home internet). So let's re-adjust the priority. Have some time to clear the clutter around. Not to forget to snap some work with the new toy. Happy Easter Sunday
