Life, Travel, GRACE

He's Buddy. Came all the way from the US for a summer holiday exposure. He likes coffee. He's experimenting the teh tarik. Now, anyone of you did this before? Not me.

Painting is in progress. Construction of the front part (swimming pool) is almost finished.

The success rate of reaching the Kinabalu peak was 4/6. I was not one of them. Probably I didn't put my most effort to do it as I've done it before. Or perhaps I was not well during that day. Indeed I had a bit of mild breathing difficulty, but it wasn't that bad. That could spoil the whole mood I guess. Congratulation to the team.

Think this year I've read quite a number of books. Some audio books and some printed copies. A friend of mine recommended Catch -22 . Claimed to be twentieth century best literary work. The irony is, the book was published in the 60s and it only gets the heat recently. Still deciding whether to buy the copy or just download the audio book (while thinking I have a list of books yet to be finished though). While people are rushing for the Harry Potter, why not try to read The Chronicles of Narnia . After all it's inspired from the bible (and I have yet to finish the compilation). One of the series in the chronicles, The Magician's Nephew , brings you to the creation of the world. Kind of analogous to Genesis 1.

Sunday dinner again. More dishes this time.... Pork knuckle, "four happiness", "lake garden" (mixed vege and corn soup). Even our US friends were impressed.

CIMB Malaysian Squash Open was held in The Curve last week. Initially planned to go there on Sunday but changed mind last minute. Went there on Saturday and lucky enough to watch the women final event between Nicol and Bailey. I had seen her played with Atkinson 2 years ago. She played well. This time she's a champion.
