Adelaide-Part 2

Work sponsored trip almost 2 weeks ago. Because it's almost 1 o'clock and I have stupidly made an appointment for 9 am on a Saturday morning, I will be going to sleep soon and am not in the mood to write too much.

Briefly, the whole lab went to Adelaide sometime during the Olympics period to check out the Supervisor's new place. Here are some photos I took of Adelaide city itself. Didn't do much, except slept and watch the Olympics- hooray for the Olympics!!

Here is a photo taken outside the Art Gallery of South Australia:



The State Library, with the jet-trail (whatever you call it?)


State Library


A view of the North Terrace, where the Library, Museum and Art Gallery are all situated. I love this photo because it captures the brilliance of Australian sky. Incredibly blue (I now know why we, as kids, were told to always colour the sky blue during art classes, even though in KL, it's always cloudy- and hence the sky's always a smoggy gray)


St. Peter's Cathedral


OK, sleepy time.

Kinabalu Park, Part Deux

Mount Kinabalu was beautiful. On the first day at the National Park, we stayed at a hostel 500 m away. Once we dropped our bags and organized ourselves (or rather Jamil organized us) at the Park, we set out for hikes at the base of the Park. There were a few trails that ranged from a few hundred meters to approximately 2 km. It was quite amazing at how quiet it was- as in, we hiked for close to 4 hours and did not meet a single soul along the way. My favourite trail was the Bundu Tuhan trail. Not very long and a fairly steep hike, we reached the lookout and was rewarded with a beautiful view of the Kinabalu ranges. Although the view may not have been the best that we had during this trip, but because the spot was so isolated and quiet, I felt as if it's my own little patch on a hill. After spending some time admiring the view and contemplating life as one does when on a hill, we made our way down and back to the hostel, right before the heavens decided to pour down on us.

I'm a dork, I am!!

Hahaha.. I just discovered my old photos. Taken in Cherating with Gordie, SK, and Ping- 2004, July. I was...26! I love these photos. We drove overnight to Cherating, stayed up whole night to watch the sunrise and waited for the turtles to nest.... while having beer of course. And up to silly antics as usual.. This was the good ol' days before PhD, babies, girlfriends and boyfriends- when we could all still stay up late, and climb coconut trees. And no matter how hard I try- I just could not look not-dorky. I love you guys!
