My 1st Mandarin Blog...(Trip to Indonesia)

想想回去，开了一个部落各帐户到现在还没写过华文的POST。。。 最近看朋友们常常写一些华文POST，自己也心血来潮想用华文写点什么放上来。。。
也不是不会打中文，只是要用南极星软件来打篇文章实在要花多一点时间和心思。

要写些什么呢~~
对了，几天前和老爸驾着他的 ‘牛车’，和古晋的二十几部越野跑车， 跑去隔壁国的山口洋城参与元宵节OFF-ROAD活动。

黄色这部是老爸的越野车，前面都是我们的车队哦!

架着一辆没窗口的车子，就这样一路开着去，半路下起雨来也只能用预先预备好的油纸来遮雨，淋得我们两半湿不透，还真是个瞒湿地有趣。

由于路又不是很好，整个路程简直就是在骑着过山车没什么两样 一路许许多多的村子的大人小孩都出来看看我们整整有二十几部的越野跑车经过。
花了差不多10个漫长的钟头才抵达落脚的地方，坐到屁股都麻了，心想好在不是我在开车，也真是辛苦了老爸子:D

山口洋并没像我们的城市这样‘嚣张’，但人口的集中却是大、又多的怕人，真是叫我们一队人看得虎子大开口般。。。
在这个城镇，全部的华人都在用‘客家话’为他们除了印尼马来语的另一个母语，听到自己的方言如此普遍，超有亲切感的说~

比赛开始前，开幕典礼由两国所参与的四十几部车子还在警察车开路的陪同下到城市的路上游车示威，有种被当成主要人般的快感，哈哈哈。
从二月的25-27号，我们都在举办这项越野活动的海边渡过大部分的时间，从早上到下午除了休息时间都在追着在半山斜坡种种高难度的途径爬着的车子，分分秒秒都在紧绷、刺激又艰险的时间里渡过，也在支持我们那班有参与比赛的队员，弄得大家又累又困。

那几天不但看到这么刺激的活动，还结识了许多从古晋过去诸多的越野车迷，除了我们整队人马还有许多不约而同的朋友们，回到古晋这几天也在路上遇见他们，车子贴着那场比赛用的贴纸。

除了越野赛，我们还欣赏到那里一年一度，非常庞大的一个元宵节游神活动，也吃了大部分的道地美食(都是路边摊子T_T)

山口洋虽然有许多十分吸引人的地点，却没被发展成旅游胜地，所以我们可是渡过了一个非凡的假期，还真希望有机会再次拜访这个被隐藏着，乐趣满满的国度。

举办比赛的海滩，有着一流的风景。

回家路途上的休息站。。。

翻车子在那几天可是家常便饭！！

除了攀爬斜坡，还要爬过大石头，超伤车的比赛。

车子卡住就用铁索(WINCH)拉过。

这就是需要攀爬的斜坡。

照片太太太多了，剩的在这里(按下去)。:D

Swimming & awareness

Swimming is a passion,and I belonged in that group, but it is an acquired taste in the options available under the 'passion' section of lifestyle, as not all agrees its a fun thing to do.

It is considered dangerous by some, as cases of death by/in the water is not uncommon all over the world.

And there are people who claims they can't swim, some of them never bother to learn, while the rest may have reasons of much more complexity.

I would like to share with you on some views of mine, as i usually goes to the swimming pool alone, and i may not be under the supervision of lifeguards when i do so.

It is important that one be of utmost vigilance when they go swimming, be it a pool, river, sea, or any body of water.
The risk that you have to take need to be weighed as incident unfavorable may occurs.

First and foremost, decide and understand how well and how long can you swim, this will really decrease the danger of getting drowned and you can avoid getting into one.

If you can't swim well, do NOT venture into deep waters.
Do NOT play in water that you do not know well of the depth, this is especially notable when swimming out in natural bodies of water.(waterfalls, river, lake, etc)
Stay clear of the deep end of the swimming pool when you go to one, until you're able to swim better.

Many are the people who never bother doing any warm ups before they go into the water, no matter you're going into the water for fun or a serious swim, DO some stretching to your muscles, cramps can be avoided in most case simply by doing this.
You DON'T have to do a complete stretching course like a pro, but a moderate stretch to the exercised part of your body will suffice in helping.

Lastly, a few more things that might help in knowing...
Please DON'T panic and start struggling and throwing your hands and legs around if you're drowning, calm yourself down as the water may not be too deep for you to land your feet on the bottom(that is why it's important to know the depth of the water you're in) and kicked yourself up to the surface to breath, do this...and edge yourself to the side of the water, or somewhere more shallow, call for help if your head can stay above the water longer.
When someone tries to rescue you, DON'T struggle either, in many cases the rescuers are choked and cling by the drowned and both end up not being saved.
Throw a life-ring/something that floats to someone that's drowned instead of jumping into the water to save them, and leave the rescue to a lifeguard or someone with a license in lifesaving to avoid further incidents whenever possible

With all these you may think that swimming is something that's best avoided, but if you would just be a bit more careful, it is not.
Most fun have risk, but being able to handle the commons can help preventing it, don't you think?

I hope I didn't miss out anything important...

Quoting the people...

I've collected some quotes that l liked since awhile back.
some of them, i understand, some of them, well i just don't know what the hell it's about:D

I think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.-Theodore Roosevelt

Reminiscing

:D

the whole lot!

Trying to think back on the little years of ago that we've been spending carefreely...

its actually been exactly 5 years since we graduated from Secondary.

keep taking pictures.

keep it rolling!

Thinking back, the 5 years before graduation from Secondary, and the 5 years after graduation.

take pictures with sepia effect.

Things, sure has taken to all the changes that neither of us could have ever imagined, at least i couldn't have imagine what i would have been doing by now.
Back then, all i do is sleep away during the lessons.

Hm, i sorta regret it that i never 'escape' from school...
figure it would have been fun that way.

drink till drop?

All that has happened in our school days, some of them, have surely been summoned back by our dear friends and haunt us every now and then.

There are dumb stuff, not so dumb stuff, and maybe some smart stuff, all had became memories of the days that passed.

the magical pointing

5 years from there, and another 5 years from now, we still won't be able to foresee as many things as we'd like to, BUT I DO BELIEVE, WE SHOULD DO ANY MANY THING AS WE CAN, eh?

so random...

like the saying, To be or not to be, that is the question...

Good night fools:D

A new page.A new year.

Happy new year 2010.

A new page begins in the time of current civilization, a new year for our Earth...

We make resolutions, welcome in the new year, and send away the old.

In just a brief second, yester-year had became LAST year.
Actually I don't really know what to say about the welcoming thingy, but just wanted to wrote something for the new year.

Let's see, we have nice fireworks, we were basically 'surrounded' by the fireworks in all directions.

There's that full moon up in the sky, which actually occurred twice in 31 December 2009, a blue moon they call it.

New year, that sounds great, a pinch of sentiments maybe, but for something that becomes new every 365 days, there's that long 'wait' for it, a long living to make it comes:D
