Gunung Tahan at Last

Tuesday, September 27th, 2005

Quite a while ago… to be honest I think its more like half a year ago, boy, how times fly, I promised you dear readers, a narrative about my adventure to the peak of Gunung Tahan (highest mountain in peninsular Malaysia). I never really got to doing this because I wanted it to be long and detailed, even asked my companions to chip in a a days account or two. But I guess that led to its downfall. It was too long and it took too much effort to write and well to read as well. The whole project was scrapped… until now. I felt that not everyone has the good fortune to climb this mountain, and it will be a total waste if I just left the photos in my hard drive. So without further delay, a photo essay:

0628_120649I have to confess, I am a Star Trek fan. Inner circle of friends would know that I like Star Wars also, but somehow over the years I have grown fonder of Star Trek. Signs of maturity???

Realgalaxymap_2Thanks to John, I know more of Star Trek than I use too. John’s site: John’s Star Trek Universe  helps t o explain some of the things that is usually muttered in the Star Trek Universe, like "bearing 093, mark 320", or "Heading 089". I only wish now is that someone would translate "star date" to our current date system for me…. But anyway, you can find John’s site using the link below:

Talking about Star Trek and Star Wars fans, I have this friend whose called Kenny Fong who is a fan as well. A well rounded person, sophisticated, a bit choosy of girl friends sometimes but girls, if you are reading this, you should get to know this guy… I like to visit his blog because unlike mine it is focused on a wide range of subjects . Sort of like a "Chicken Soup for the Soul" kinda website. Well without further a due…

Changed Title

Monday, September 26th, 2005

Ho ho, I changed my blog name. My blog name is now called Time Capsule: Faith of the Hear. It was previously called Chronicles of Gary…. which to me seems to be a bit too nerdy and egoistic. Sorry, I was pressured to start a blog and I had writer’s blog.

But the good thing is, the name has finally changed and hopefully this blog can live up to its name.

Why is it now called Time Capsule: Faith of the Heart? A time capsule preserves object so that one day people in the future can see them and have fond memories of them. I want to capture some of my life’s precious moment in this blog, I do not want it to be forgotten and I want to share this with all you precious readers out there. It’s also because I am too lazy to write my own diary… ha ha.

But anyway, I have completed 16 posts now and I hope you that you have enjoyed my sick sense of humour and have gained something from this posts. Stay tuned….

Who the heck thinks up this titles! But anyway folks, I would like to tell y’all that it might not be safe to use eraser to clean up your hard disk. I found that my hard disk might have been damaged during the erasing process. So do take care and double check whether the eraser programme is causing your hard disk any harm.
