No one says that it is easy maintaining a travelogue. Writing diligently. Not unless one has the passion. Or there lies beneath the undertakings, some objectives. At last, that inspirations and needs are slowly returning to me. But first I must also caution myself that, no matter how strong the will is, and the good intention - Very soon, the days will fly. Without even realizing it, there would be build up of back log. Then the cycle repeats itself. The hassle of having to retrieve the pictures. Just to find that whatever pictures on hand do not connect to illustrate the days happenings. Let me try. As you quickly could see, this period my interest have shifted once more. Recalling the past. First- there were waterfalls . Then - travels through Thailand. Followed by Rest Houses hunting. And now - birding activities. All about birds. Another observation - For the first time, you get to see the Quad -the Four of Us. Aptly nick-named Gang Of Four. Again, Why four? Suppose it is the seating in the car. Or convenient to fill up a table for meals.

Into 2006 - Here I come |
| The new year 2006 spring
off with a flying start. I started to revive an outstanding hobby.
Making birds' Call. A hobby with narrow interest. Sometimes I myself
get bored. Mainly, most birds call are identical. Single syllable
differing in pitch. Picked up from some distance away and most
environmental not exactly dead silence, the boisterous
background noise almost dampened the softer call.
Remembering the experiences from my page on 1999, this year's outing will be centered around small and places not too far away. Birds home you may call them |
