Garmin Forerunner 255


 

Finally! I've got the Forerunner 255 (present from Wife).

Its an upgrade in almost everything from battery life, specs, data, analysis, training mode, more data, even more analysis. 

Hope it will translate to more improvement in coming races!

Kota Kinabalu Part 3 (Beach & Island)

The third part of the trip is about Beach, Pool and back to the island. The hotel is beautiful and the beach is fine although it is located rather remote from everywhere else.





The final day island and activities are also fun. Sea walking, parachute and snorkling are all excellent experiences.













Kota Kinabalu Part 2 (Kundasang)

The second part of Kota Kinabalu trip is a lot more interesting. After all, we are going to places we have never been before. 


Kinabalu Park, which is where we stayed, is very cold this time of the year. It drop to 16C after Sun down and even drop to as low as 13C around mid night. The weather alone is fun.




Kundasang also known as the little New Zealand. It is without doubt beautiful. The kettle farm is average. whilst the memorial and Lama farm are very common. 






Ranau, the little town 30 minutes away, has many interesting Must-Go spot, including Fish Spa (river wild big fish), Hot Spring (this you should avoid), Canopy Tree Top Walk (not bad) and Rafflesia (must go).

Kota Kinabalu Part 1 (KK City & Island)

Doing a KK City Tour is not new for Sacha and myself, but doing without the two kids for the first time is still fun, particularly during actual Christmas Day. 







Island trip with water activities was supposed to be one of the two main highlight of this 10 days trip. Unfortunately, the weather for this day was terrible. The storm has forced all activities to be cancelled. On the bright side, the boat ride was scary but exciting; and we get to do again in the last day of the trip.










So glad we are back to KK main island after a scary boat ride during the bad weather. 



Year End Family Vacation - Genting

Yes we are back to a familiar vacation spot. Second time this year (or the third time in last 13 months). The kids love it so we are here.




The snow may be fake, but the kids love them nonetheless.
