Lightning Bolt

Rec'd sms from tomatoman and was fascinated to watch Usain Bolt crack the 100m dash with a time of 9:58 secs leaving behind the other runners.. this time he really ran all the way with Tyson Gay trying to catch him...

Bolt had a good start and the rest its history.....watch in youtube to see him run...

Mt KK & Mulu Pinnacles Cost

Sept 1st onwards the cost at Mulu park have increased therefore going to the Pinnacles, caving and Mulu Peak, additional 10 - 20% have to factor in, further details visit mulupark website.

Yeasterday I rec'd the price list for next year for Mt KK , the cost will be abt 30% more, if u take the basic package 3D/2N via mesilau done by SanctuaryLodges(Sutera Harbour) its RM850, exclude transport, climbing fees, porters, guide fees, insurance and certificate.

The dormitories rate went up by 45% ie RM100 to RM145, so if u keen to go next year .. instead of just climb Mt KK do also the via Ferrata , pay slighthly higher and enjoy both activities...

look like have to explore to China and Indo China mountains next year....
