Grateful, anxious and excited about going to Chiangmai for a kayaking expedition; it was most improbable that I would doze off on the Tiger Airways flight even though I was tired and it had been quite a day. Pressing my compact digital camera against the cockpit window, I captured these images with thoughts of the mystery, fun and adventure that await our discovery despite the uncertainty as I peered out into the distance of the evening sky.
Life is an adventure awaiting our discovery and it need not have to be on the waters; but I prefer it there! So see you on the waters.
And God is watching us … from a distance.

This is one of those posts that I had written and then saved as a ‘Draft’ for some reason or the other instead of being posted.
Looking back, it ain’t half-bad; so I decided to post it now! Makes for an easy weekend reading … Let me know what you think. That was written in Oct last year. Wow! Time does flies!
Have a pleasant weekend!
So how was the expedition??? I should go back & read, I guess!
Those are beautiful pictures, unker!!! I love to watch the sky when I’m in the plane especially during the sunrise or sunset… It gives a calm feeling inside my heart… it shows how great the God is…
So you are not only kayaking in your country but also in other countries, that’s cool
Have you been kayaking in pulau Jawa?
Yesterday, on the National Geography, it was about Borneo.. they said that there’re a lot of crocodile (not a real crocodile, because the snout is very long and narrow), then flying lizard, snake that can jump from tree to tree… gosh… I think this is pretty scary… hmmm, I better think twice before I decided to visit Borneo in my coming trip….
hey, did you see Justine C. is looking for somebody to take her paddling in Singapore? Robin should run out and buy 2 sea kayaks quickly!
too bad it’s not Malaysia, then you could take her out, how cool would that be?
Nice picture..
like u and Selba, I enjoy looking out from the window pane inside the flight..
yeah, I “did” something different this weekend.. took several pictures of watersports and sailboats etc
bonnie - BIG WOW! Justine C in Spore!!
I hope Huey and JP are reading this and set Tuesday free!
Robin can’t quite tell one end of the kayak from the other … but if only he knew who she is; I’m sure he’ll go out and buy 2 sea kayaks on the double!
Besides bonnie, *ahem*, she’s one lady I would definitely want to kayak with! That would be beyond cool!
If only she ‘ll make a detour and head further south here …
selba - (to me) its always a magical experience peering out through the aircraft window and lookin at this big wonderful world and d possibilities n wonders that lay infront of us!
chen - that’s great! goin’ to blog it?
yeah, I blog about it already.. (mainly pictures.. lazy to write stuffs… )
The watersports thingy is still on today..
Can see it from my window (next to my computer)
I’ll go down there and join in the sailing if i were you! Sailin is really great fun!
Thks. i’d just read your blog. Nice change from lookin at food!
Well, Robin should go out and buy ONE two person kayak and let Justine C take command (sometimes it’s better with the woman in control - ahem!).
FH2O, your pictures make me want to go flying. I had an instructor on Maui, about 25 years ago(!), who would stop the lesson and turn the plane to the west so we could watch the sunset. I never complained, even though I was paying.
panda - good advice; are u listening robin?
i wouldn’t agitate my instructor either when he’s flying! but who can resist/refuse a good sunset either? not me!
