A snail which fights back! Here's a snail which has a shell that can blunt claws of crabs which try to crack it open; The wonders of Nature! The more I read about snail shells, the more I'm amazed by how Nature can generate such structures in direct response to day-to-day problems. Human engineering is peanuts compared to the intricate natural designs manifested on supposedly "simple lifeforms". We are only as big as what we see ourselves to be. Bigger, may just only be smaller.

Super tired week... So happy it's the weekend! Until seeing that it's coming to end... It's as though I'm living for the weekends... No, I am living for the weekends! Only to see myself sometimes too tired to fully exploit my weekends... Shits it's Monday again...


A pair of Golden Orb Web Spiders, with the tiny red male, as compared to the huge female! Spotted on a busy track near Henderson Waves bridge... I feel like I'm the little insignificant red guy, treading on the sticky web of politics & relations, with huge omnipotent giants ready to swallow me whole at any one time... Or am I just being spider-ish? Hope it's just me, blurred me...

A very busy caterpillar who thinks he's a choo-choo-train! Spotted on the railings on Mt Faber...

A pretty caterpillar also travelling on the railing, who also thinks he's a choo-choo-train! Life as simple as it gets; eat-sleep-grow... Nice haha!!

Good weather times are coming back! It all signifies cheery sunshine, good biking times, good outdoors times and less chances of having to go to work on wet mornings on jammed-packed, rain-slowed public transport! Yay!! Cheers to the weather!!

The beautiful riverside view in Kuching, totally exudes the peace and calm of the place... I love the place. Totally unlike our messy, hectic island.
*Click on the pic to view it, so nice I love it!! =)*

When can this blur turtle ever get his Subaru?

It's yet another year past and gone. What have I achieved this past year? While... I've graduated finally, and I got myself a job. I have a stable income. I broke my back, and will never need to worry about IPPT ever again. I picked up DSLR photography, and still enjoying it. I still don't have the free cash to splurge on my bikes. Life has been an exhausting juggle between work, play, family, friends, and sleep, with no signs of abating. Plans and hopes for the next year? We'll see.


The flower of the night, the almost-last-flower-of-2009. And it was a resplendent example to cap the end of 2009. Not to say it smelled so especially sweet.


The first example to flower pointing towards my home too. Hoping that the sweet fragrance and exemplary beauty will spotlight new and better times ahead on my family and loved ones. Cheers.


The New Year's Day fireworks. Home sweet home. So sweet, the ants, roaches and flies on it are getting ever so all over our increasingly-xenophobic nerves.


Nonetheless, all hopes that in the new year will end up as sparkling and beautiful as these fireworks, as they fade away awaiting the next barrage of fireworks to display their glory... life's a non-stop fireworks show isn't it? Cheers to 2010!
