It started a good day. We had relatives over for lunch. My wife cooked mee siam. It was excellent. I had no idea she can cook such good mee siam. We had a good time with her family. I volunteered to send her cousin and aunt home. Her cousin was going somewhere else instead of home in Pasir Ris. So we decided to drop her off in Compass Point MRT. Immediately after I dropped her off another vehicle swerved right in front of me. My front right lights were broken.
Sigh! This is a boxing day I will remember. Will need to figure what to do next....

Kota Kinabalu
We went to KK in Sabah with everyone in the office and their family or significant other. There are a total of 17 including 6 kids. We had three days of exploring and trying out different activities. It was an excellent cap to our very successful year for the team. We went to Mt KK national park, Poring hot springs and flea market. I almost completed reading the book Only Paranoid will Survive by Andrew Grove.
The highlight of the trip was the canopy walk. I was expecting a wooden bridge where we can stop to see the life in a tree top. Boy! was I wrong. It was a rope suspension bridge using aluminium ladders and a narrow plank. The side was nylon netting. The bridge sways and wobbles with every step. Looking at the plank to take your next step means looking right down into the forest. Talk about acrophobia! Good thing I read the notice before stepping on the bridge. It says the rope can withstand 10 tons and nylon netting 5 tons. Still while walking and seeing holes in the netting strike fears. I was very proud of all my kids and my wife. They walk right through. I was amazed by the husband of my colleague who has to carry his two sons through the three bridges. He was walk through the bridges three times and twice with a kid on his arm and using the other arm to balance himself.
My youngest son, Lucas was very brave. He was right behind his mother putting his arms around her waist. I am so proud of everyone, my team, their family and my family! This is an adventure.
