Durian

A large spiky fruit often weighing up to three kilograms.
When the fruit begins to ripen it falls daily and almost hourly.
Taking a blow from a falling durian from the top of a
30 meter-tall tree is not fun & definitely not something
that we wish for while on the trail.

CS & a fresh fallen durian right on the trail.
Another good reason for wearing a helmet :)

Recycling is fun

Time flies.

It's been a year since my little buddy got his first tricycle.
Today, Wien is ready for the next stage. That's right, a bicycle.
From training wheels sourcing to bolts tightening,
it's really fun to get Wien to work on a hand-me-down bicycle.
What a perfect way to introduce kids to recycling as something
that is 'fun' to do rather than something they 'have' to do.

A smile that make our day

Priceless family moment with o' O' the Mini Pinscher

Golden hour that last forever

Finally...the air is fresh again after yesterdays rain.

A beautiful day like this don't come everyday.
What are you waiting for? Grab the camera,
get on your bike and get out there.

Right: A golden moment seized.

Fire in Sumatera...Haze in Penang

Obviously...pollution is a global issue.
Can we still afford to turn a blind eye to this?

Missus pushing on the final section before reaching the peak.
Visibility reported to be at between 4 & 5 kilometers on that day.

A typical Dam view at the peak on a clear day.

More trees to combat climate change

Bucida Molineti
also known as Dwarf Geometry Tree/Spiny Black Olive.

One of our favorite plants just planted in our garden. They're simply beautiful & we can't get enough of it.

"Cool shade anyone??

A wonderful Kawanbike weekend

Saturday, 6 June 09
A stroll in the city park (Youth Park) with my 2 little Kawanbike


Sunday, 7 June 09
With technical singletrack, awesome scenery & very less traffic,

this is one of the best XC trail for busy young father like me.

Mind our own business

Sunday, May 31 2009. Polling day for Penanti by-election.
Instead of voting, 3 busybodies biked up to Bukit Langkap &
left a small gesture of Kawanbike at the peak.

Memoir of a "Kampung boy"

One of the most memorable scenes that greeted me during a ride to Penaga was
that of charming kampung boys, green padi fields and rustic kampung houses.
While some may take the setting for granted, to city slickers such as myself,
it reawakened a time when air was fresh, space was in abundance
and everything was right with the world.

Red Sunday

Somewhere between Penang & Kedah state border.
It's been almost 9 years since i did my solo exploration ride in this area.
Today, i came here with kawanbike (CS & O2). Our plan today is simple,
roam as far as possible & come back in one piece.

When the going gets tough,

A good reason to have new tyres

Road trip to Koh Samui

Traveling with children can be a wonderful experience.

With a little planning, imagination and a lot of patience,
we drove all the way from Penang (Malaysia) to this beautiful Samui island.

Homemade Pizza

...from a few random ingredients in my fridge.
Yummi..

Small Gestures of Kawanbike

It’s the little things we do, day in and day out. It doesn’t have to take a lot of our time.
It doesn’t have to take any of our money. Simple. Small. Love in action.

Iwen is now rolling over!

Witnessing baby Iwen rolling over for the first time is
just excited as witnessing baby Wien did 2 years ago.
Way to go!!!

Bukit Gambir Sunday

Cool morning breeze + unobstructed Penang Hill
view at the peak. What more can we ask for?

New Bike Jinx

How could this be possible??
We had flat tyre 2 days in a row on
Mr.O2's new bike break in ride.

Tanjung Bungah Beach

Sunday afternoon’s picnic at the beach. It was hot and very windy, alternating sun, shade then storm.

Iwen doing what he does best...
Zzz..zZz...

Sweet Child O' Mine

Taking the road less traveled

Arguably, the best way to enjoy biking is with a group on the road
less traveled, and there's no better group than your own family!

Burglar

This happen to my in-law's house. This guy broke into the home office & took away lots of cash & valuables even when there are people in the house.

Boy o boy...

Iwen

Here at last!
Proudly introducing my new little Kawanbike "Iwen".
Iwen was born (20 December) just a day after Wien celebrating his 2nd birthday.

Baby Bump!

New little kawanbike in the making...

Monkey Beach, here we come again, 4 - 5 July 2008

Bluish sky.
Palm tree breeze.
Full of ants.
We Don't care.

Pans are hot.
Beers are cold.
Spaghetti for lunch.
Rice for dinner.

Swimming's fun.
Until sunset.
Caught a crab.
Some shellfish too .

Candle at night.
Stars are bright.
Sleeping out is great.
We're all right.

BraVo!!! Penang - New Unesco World Heritage Site

LOVE LANE, PENANG
This lane leads into the heart of Georgetown and is filled with incense sticks from roadside shrines, children going to and from school and men drinking in the cafes or repairing bikes.




















The oldest temple in Penang
The Kuan Yin Temple, situated on Pitt Street (now Jalan Mesjid Kapitan Keling) was constructed in the early 1800s by Chinese migrants, on land given by the East India Company.

In the foreground, is a trishaw, an eco-friendly mode of transportation that are fast gaining popularity among tourist.
