My fav Killers song at the moment, love the lyrics...
The Killers - Bling
When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
How do you know that you're right?
I awoke on the roadside,
In the land of the free ride,
And I can't pull it any longer,
The sun is beating down my neck
So I ran with the devil
Left a trail of excuses,
Like a stone on the water,
The elements decide my fate,
Watch it go..."bling".
When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
Don't tell me that it's over,
Stand up,
Poor and tired,
But more than this
How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus,
But I'm pushing on for that horizon,
I'm pushing on,
Now I've got the blowing wind against my face
So you sling rocks at the rip tide,
Am I wrong or am I right?
I hit the bottom with a "huh!"
Quite strange,
I get my glory in the desert rain,
Watch it go..."bling".
When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
And I'll tell you when it's over,
Shut up,
Poor and tired,
But more than this
How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad...
Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it,
Out of the fire,
Higher and higher. (x2)
Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it out,
Whoa-oh-oh Higher and higher...
It ain't hard to hold,
When it shines like gold,
You'll remember me.

Endau Rompin
Went for this short weekend trip in April. I think the plan was to go climb KK at first, but accommodation was fully booked, hence we went to Endau Rompin instead. Memorable because I had my first encounter with leeches. Read a lot horror stories about leeches before going for the trip, and nearly backed out last minute because Endau Rompin is known to have a lot of leeches.
The first leech we encountered - on a boat.
The hike on the first day was tedious, and we were all physically unprepared for it. To make matters worse, we had to keep a lookout for the bloodsuckers - there were really a lot of them. We had to stop every 10 min to check our shoes and flick them off. Gross.
On the first night we (the girls) could not help whining non-stop and we wanted to skip the hike to Upeh Culing waters the next day. Luckily we did not, because the hike was easier (no upslope) and we had a fun time sliding down the rocks at Upeh Culing.

Boracay
Went to Boracay in March, and it's the best beach I have ever been. Ok I haven't been to that many beaches.. but still, it's really beautiful.
The sand is very white, fine and soft - you don't need a beach mat! The sand is more comfortable! And the waters is crystal clear..
However the diving wasn't fantastic - the visibility wasn't good surprisingly, think maybe the timing was bad. Heard from the locals that Boracay is actually not as nice as before, and there are many more islands in Philippines that are more unspoiled and beautiful than Boracay. I hope I can check out these islands next time!

Time flies.. we're now approaching the end of 2009! Inspired by healthiliciouslyme, I decide to recap my 2009 as well.
While in certain aspects, my 2009 was less than ideal - I never knew I could complain and whine non-stop! However, to think on the bright side, I'm very thankful that I have some listening ears to turn to.
1/1/2009 - I had a little test of friendship on the last day of 2008, luckily no hard feelings was brought over to 2009. Spent the countdown in a movie theatre. Little did I know that my first movie in 2009 would predict my highlight of the year.
Did a fair bit of travel this year, will recap them in the next few posts :)
