Hana's 5th birthday...

"Let you dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions be louder than your words..."

(Hana is a big girl now)

Do what makes you happy

Be with who makes you smile

Laugh as much as you breathe

Love as much as you live...

Thailand: We braced the 1000 corners again and again...

The Thousand Corners again and again...

(05 - 15 September 2014)

Route: KL - Surat Thani - Kanchanaburi - Chiang Mai - Pai - 

Mae Hong Son - Chiang Mai - Suphan Buri - Chumphon - Hatyai - KL

Total distance: 5284 km

The 4x4 gang: Mus/Mun, Hayami/Siti

The Fly & Ride gang: Shawal, Shanaz, Rozlan and Hj Din

For the first time we drove our Ford Ranger for an overland 4x4 Adventure Trip in Thailand. While the rest of our bikers gang opted to fly and ride, we chose to drive instead and be the support vehicle for the bikers in Chiang Mai, Pai and Mae Hong Song.

Alhamdulillah, for the 3rd and 4th time, we safely completed the Thousand Corners of Mae Hong Song, Thailand.

Our 35th Anniversary...

“When we’re flying high tomorrow, it would be because we stood strong today…”

(Victoria Station, PJ)

Tonight we celebrated our 35th Anniversary and Iwan’s birthday at Victoria Station, Petaling Jaya. It was not that crowded but we didn’t manage to get the seats in the cabin.

While the adults ordered our favourit dishes, the three grandchildren played among themselves, shouting and jumping oblivious of the surrounding.

We are blessed to have so many good things in life… Alhamdulillah…

Sighting of two moons...

"People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing." - Dale Carnegie

(Bemban Hot Spring)

Last night we had a good time soaking in the hot water full of minerals at Bemban Hot Spring. We were there with my sisters and in-laws and stayed there till way after midnight hoping to experience the sighting of the two moons.

(Soaking in the hot scalding water)

The news about the two moons were circulating in the sosial media. It is said that at 12.30 am on 27 August 2014 there will be two moons in the sky. This will happen when planet Mars will be as bright as the moon and both Mars and moon could be seen with naked eyes.

Unfortunately last night the sky was full of cloud. We could not sight the two moons. Not even one moon nor a single star.

Is this phenomena real or is it just a hoax....

TTS at Bidara House

"You must have long term goals to keep you from being frustrated by short term failures." - Charles C. Noble

The bikers gang met at Bidara House to discuss the options and routing of our 4-nation ride planned in December this year.

The discussion ended way after 2 a.m. and decision was made by majority consensus.  Although it is still a long way to go, a lot of paper work and preparation need to be done before the trip.

(The simple preparation...)

(Ready to discuss our next trip...)

(The early birds making themselves at home...)

(Serious in discussion)
