*picture is copycat from David :p

I decide to make year 2009 compact calendar Malaysian edition… Compact calendar is David Seah creation that really help me a lot during my university life, but too bad David is in the US and I’m in Malaysia and I don’t celebrate president’s day,

Back then, I decided to make Compact Calendar 2008 - Malaysian Edition … which help some people I guess…

And next year..

I present to you….

Compact Calendar 2009 Malaysian Edition - Public Holiday Edition (PDF)

Compact Calendar 2009 Malaysian Edition - Public Holiday Edition + School Holidays (PDF)

Compact Calendar 2009 Malaysian Edition (.xls) * Both version included.

Slight different from the 08 version. The holiday name is put on another table. Can be print out for your reference.

All the holiday should be correct…

Since we have our different state in Malaysia, some of the holiday may not apply to all people. For better flexibility I would suggest you to download the Excel version (xls) and key in the holiday inside the Holiday Lookup Table. Use this format dd/mm/yyyy followed by the holiday name on the other column. You will know once you open the xls file.

Suggested usage

Use line to connect your activity and appointment to the dates…. Be creative!

P/S: Leave a thank you comment if you like it.. Because it keep me going…

Epic ride!

While half of you enjoying your soft drink beer eating Dafa dried fish, munching some sweet chocolate cake, biting into those tender roasted pork, slurping those nice fried noodle and licking those chicken wing bones… I was cursing all over… sweating myself and getting myself a nice tan…

I went on an epic ride… hills and hills appear before me…

My target is Semenggoh Wildlife centre and I live somewhere in Desa Ilmu… the weather is couldn’t be any better. The cloud cast a shadow on earth… the previous night, it was raining and its cool. not to mention I’m wearing one of those quick drying shirt..

Started from home around 8.40am, initially planing to leave home by 7am… woke up by the call from gf and she insist meh to wake up… which was turned down and I proceed to sleep till 8… :p

Had a quick breakfast, readjust my handlebar and filled two bottles with water and load up my bags with a rain coat (just in case it rain), tools, bike pump and some food (free nuts from MAS) hehe…

Do lil bit of warm up… and start my journey. Fully motivated…

Lost my motivation 1/4 through the routes as I encounter my first hill, dang.. shift to low gear and climb it slowly… so slow..

Got my motivation back as I roll down the hill and reaching the traffic light junction.. batu 13? I also don’t know.

Check2 on GPS… Semenggoh is half way there.. roll on… and encounter another hill.. dang… and another… and another..
Stop by a waste management park.. almost mistaken it as another ‘taman’.. LOL..

Heard a loud sound.. continous hammering.. autobots?

Apply sunblock as the sun is peeking through the clouds.. which was proved insignificant in the previous paragraph .. and continue on with the journey… the road is clear… xmas.. everyone is drunk. Saw a few dogs, they are such a nice bunch.. smilling back at me as I pass them… I might get motivated if they gave me a nice little friendly woof…

Find out the loud hammering noise.. It’s the Sarawak Clinkers plant.. (tempat batu-batu besar di hentam oleh tukul jadi kecil) and lead me to a junction. Double check with the GPS and turn right to proceed to Semenggoh wildlife… pass by a Jail… don’t really interested to stay there so proceed to pass it quickly… the road get more interesting.. more corner and small hills. Motivated back…

Reached another junction and casually took the left turn.. after a few meters.. It feel strange la… check GPS.. wrong route pulak… heading towards Borneo Heights.. It might become a super epic ride.. make a U-turn.. and head to the Semenggoh wildlife… pass by the Sarawak Seed something… then climb a hill… and stop by here…

Sarawak Biodiversity stuff… (or maybe this is another HQ for Pinehearst take note on the helix logo) It was closed… if not can menyibuk and ask the guard something about the place.. After camwhoring for the basikal.. proceed to a long downhill and reached my destination… The Semenggoh Wildlife Centre…

Talked to the abang tiket.. He told me the feeding time is 9am and 3pm everyday. But there is no guarantee you will see the orang utan as they are moody according to him. And the actual place is 1.3km away from the entrance. He told me that I can cycle in… Hehehe… I say not today, as I only pass by.. report my safety to my control centre in KK and proceed to head home.. which 20km+ away.. Low motivation already le…

Low motivation all the way…. Took the batu 7 – Unimas road… very2 low motivation already.. This particular road is very boring…… Long hill climb but no descent…. Kaki sakit already… Saw few motorist passing me with crates of beer… -_- . saw few motorist stopping by to call their friend to double check the route.. hehe… sesat lah tu..

A dude say hello to me.. Maybe he thought I’m some cycling tourist passing his kampong.. haha.. Bythe time I enter the road to Desa Ilmu.. almost give up… took a shortcut through the back lane back to the house..

Reached home and can’t barely walked… open the gate and straight away sit down.. Cool down, cook rice and fried it.. Report to control centre in KK.

*Now I know why people get those expensive backpack/hydration pack for cycling.. Normal bag just make your back sweat and there is no chance of it drying as there is no air flow…

*Padded shorts would make the ride a lil bit more confortable.. hehe…

P/s: Langkau.. want to join me next time?

P/s: And that is why I dont paint the kitchen… plus I’m lazy.

rear seatbelt…

been wearing it since 2004.

Some of you maybe have read about kenny complaining about him taking the plane like a bus… to KL..

Well… In my case… should I complain if I fly all over Sarawak almost every week for the past 5 month?

Writing this post from Starbucks access point (Wifi for you who dont get the drift) in Miri airport after a one day training session in Miri. It is in my best interest to keep my job a secret in this blog. Some of you might know what I do for a living now, better keep it to yourself lah..

Check list…

Bought myself a cheap bicycle last few month.

Bought a 32 inch LCD tv.

Planning to get a Dahon Roo D7 for my gf, so that she can join me for ride if she come to Kuching in the future. (still waiting for you to come)

Start blogging?

stop spacing my paragraph like

this
