1 week break

On hols for a week.. and its zipping by VERY fast!!
arghh.. the day seems to fly by without me doing much.. which is quite sad

There are lots on my to-do list for this week.. and one of them is holding everything back cos it's the highest on the priority. Thats to finish up my report/literature review for my previous internship at Gundagai. I have to finish this before I move on to the other stuff.. and it's taking me a while!! Yeah, and I'm suppose to be writing up the assignment right now!
Ok, I better start on it now..I want!!

Gundagai and piccie update!

It’s my 2nd week here in Gundagai! I do have net connection, but only when I’m at the office. No phone line in my motel room. Oh well, at least the connection at the office is pretty fast. And I do spend some time slacking in the office! Was even searching for online games to play and spend my time, haha.. Hmm I better use this time I have in the office to write up some of my assignments and to post up an update!

Am driving back to Sydney for the long Easter weekend! Well, driving down to Melbourne was an option as well, but I decided that Sydney would be better. Thanks ah pork for the comment on the previous post! Well, Gundagai’s not too bad.. very small rural town with nice views of the hills and such. The Murrumbidgee river (which is good for fishing) runs through the town. Well, I would love to take up fishing one day.. just gotta find the gear, initiative and maybe some kaki as well.
Here’s a pic of the motel I’m staying at..

Okay okay.. Now some pics and info of the places I went to in Malaysia.
Went to the Sungai Sedim forest reserve which had the longest treetop walk in the world.. yeah world! It's nearly 1 km in length if I'm not mistaken. Some piccies :



I had to show this expression at this sign.. That's the highest we were above the ground I think..


Next, was the Bukit Hijau forest reserve! Went there specially just to sit under the amazing waterfall! Highly recommended !
Also took a trip up to Langkawi for a couple of days. Really regret that I didn’t take a pic of the beach at Tanjung Rhu, which I personally felt was the best beach in Langkawi! It's like one of the beaches that you see in the island holiday brochures. We saw some funny patterns on the beach at Pantai Kok:

An upclose look :
So cool right?? These holes are made by tiny little crabs on the beach.. and the balls of sands must be the sand that they dug out.. Oh I just googled about these sand balls. A source mentioned that the crabs will take sand into their mouths, suck out the nutrients, and spit out the tiny balls you see here. Very cool indeed.. and these holes with their surrounding sand balls were scattered all over a major part of the beach.


Lastly, I took Wenqi for a fireflies cruise in Nibong Tebal. It took me a while to find Mr Heng’s contact number on the net. Hmm.. wonder if I will get into trouble if I post up his number here.. Just to be safe… I better not.. But if you need his contact, do drop me a message!
I heard that the fireflies activity here is not as good as the one in Kuala Selangor.. but it’s good enough for me! Plus it’s much nearer to Penang as well. Personally, I felt that it was an unforgettable experience. Catching the fireflies and watching them glow inside your palms definitely contributes to this!


Man I miss Penang.. missing the atmosphere, family, friends , tiuking sessions (gang-fights), food, cheap stuff..

Alrightey folks.. thats about it from me for now! Hope you enjoy the pics!
