Valentine Date With Mother Nature

My plans for tomorrow are set, sharpen machete, charged up talkies and clean ropes all set and good to go for valentine's day.
Yes I know I may sound like the killer date in a B grade horror movie checking and preparing his equipment, however I'm no killer and it's a good thing for most of my friends I guess.
My date with mother nature will be in Bentong this time near Genting, at a waterfall call Lata Perting aka Hammer Falls, I've been there once before and have been wanting to go back there for a very long time, very beautiful place to spend time with mother nature.
For this trip I'll be carrying almost 10Kg load to toughen up and hopefully build some strength for my trip to Endau Rompin that's coming early March.

Have A Great Day

Writing In Chinese

Linus requested that I write something in Chinese for him for a picture he wanted to take so I tried what I could do, took me quite some time to do it thou.
I was able to write much faster when I'm younger, was studying in a Chinese school during my primary school days. However it took me more then an hour to write 5 lines now, forgotten how to write many character now. I'm actually considering practicing writing in Chinese again.

Have a Nice Day

The birth of the tarantulas

Had a drink last night with a couple of friends after feeling pathetic for a day, sometimes it does cheer me up to see them, as long as they don't start puffing smoke into anybody's face. Not that I hate them or anything but I just don't see the point of smoking. So anyway, after a drink I got back straight away and was about to go to bed till I found something unusual with one of my tarantula tank.

The egg sac of my curly hair tarantula's egg sac has hatched and there are spiderings all over the substrate of it's tank. I was actually expecting it to hatch but I never got myself to prepare the substrate and containers that I needed to separate them all. I dug out all my old containers and steal some from the kitchen but it didn't look enough so I called up the frog to see if he has any plastic containers. Fortunately for me he's got a whole bunch of film canisters that I could use.


Coexing the tarantula in to the canister is quite a challenge, and to pack the first few is actuallly quite fun or exciting but eventually it becames repetitive and tiring. The entire packing process took hours of packing substrate in the canister, then a spider ling for each canister, and making the ventilation holes. Had to be very careful with making the ventilation holes because the tarantula could escape if the holes are too big.
Good thing is that Linus did help me with the tarantulas or else I'll be spending even more time packing them.


In the end we manage to finish the canisters but there still are some more spider lings that are not packed yet. Had to wait for the sun to rise and the shops' door to be open for additional containers.
After taking care of the left overs, I start counting the number of spiderling packed. In all there are 248 of them, and 50% of them has gone to the owner of the male tarantula.

That pathetic feeling

Had mold bread this morning and I didn't know until my mom mention about it during dinner, I usually notice these kinda thing but I guess age had caught up to me.
Ran 2 rounds at the park in the evening, well... it's more like walk now, I did manage to jog half the trail but had to walk as I was unable to catch my breath, I'm getting a little bit older.
Stopped by the chinning bar to do some pull up, I used to be able to do 3 sets of 10, 8 and 6. For my first set today I only managed 4, then 3. That's way pathetic... need to do something about this now.

I hope you don't feel the way I do now
