Windex Waters

Oh, KK wasn't only about the mountain. We took a boat out to the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park and Tim found his Windex waters........ It was great!!! Saw tons snorkelling and we are coming back to dive next year!!!












Nicolas teaching his brother how to fish with a pail and satay stick!!







Steph trying to cat-nap the island cat.
In case you didn't know, our cat, Ellsworth, was cat-napped about a month ago. Poor kids miss him terribly. Let's pray that the evil malaysian thieves have sold him off to a nice kind family with and he is being showered with love, affection and treated like a prince!!!






Our own little surfer dude..... MAT









Sunset.... (This has nothing to do with Windex waters but I am too lazy to do another post!!!)







Don't worry, it's not your eyesight. This is a pretty bad pix. Steph wanted to take a photo of his God-parents.........
Dinner with the Sims and Teongs at the Ocean Seafood Restaurant facing the South China Sea, with the view of the sunset above.



Almost Up Mt KK

ALMOST UP MT KK




7KM mark, just before Nic decided that he was moving no more ..............

OK, we did not make it to the top......... BUT, we were very very close!!!!



At the start of the climb before being tamed by the mountain. ( As someone so rightly said "You go up roaring like a Lion, but you come down a pussy-cat.")



I know it is no Everest, but climbing South East Asia's tallest mountain was not an easy feat. No training and preparations whatsoever was probably not the way to go, but hey, we tried and will be much more prepared when we attack the mountain again next year!!!


Tim & Mat roared up the mountain and left the rest of us behind..... Nic gripping his chest and taking intermittent puffs of steriod boosters (ventolin), steph fighting with his porter and refusing to sit in his carrier, Glendel freezing from the cold and poor little me struggling with all my excess fat and wishing I had been working out more. sigh.

Nic with his super-puff





Steph making his porter's life HELL








Mat on the top of the world


Cliff hanger (Or Tim's very good photo composition??)


Nic running up the mountain (2nd wind before he refuses to budge)
