Ken & Esther to climb Everest...

As most of you know that I keep track of the happenings on the great Mt.Everest every peak season out of my huge passion for the mountain, I've got a special reason to do so this year. My good friends and Mt.Chola expedition mates Kenneth Koh and Esther Tan are all set to begin their two months long expedition to Everest this spring season. Both of them are climbing from North side (Tibet) and when they finish that successfully they would become the first Singaporeans to do so from North side.

With Ken & Esther during send off dinner
To say a few words about them, Kenneth is an adventurer, freelance writer, photographer and an ex-pilot from a reputed airlines in Singapore while Esther, who works in Singapore Navy, is also an adventurer, athlete and one of the top finishers of her grade in the recently held Aviva Iron Man 70.3. Looking at their hard works, trainings and determination, I'm sure they deserve all the good wishes on their attempt.

Good luck both Ken & Esther.

Orchard Road included in marathon

Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore (SCMS) 2010 has included new landmarks in their routes for this year's marathon event in December. It is first time ever that these routes are included in any marathon in Singapore. Full marathoners get to run through the famous Orchard Road admiring the beautiful Christmas lights decorations on the street while half marathoners get privilege of running through recently opened Universal Studio theme park via Sentosa Bridge. The 10kms runners too have a reason to cheer as they'll be running through the newly opened beautiful Helix Bridge.

SCMS 2010. Way to go!!

Happy New Year 2010

Happy New Year 2010 to one and all!!

This year's new year celebration was spent at Marina Bay fireworks show near Esplande. It was an abrupt decision as my initial plan was to go to Krishna Mandir and greet new year there with bhajans, chants, etc. There was even another last minute thought of going to Sentosa Siloso beach party. Finally ended up seeing the fireworks. I know Lord Krishna will still bless me. We were already late to the spot and could not get the perfect location for those perfect shots. However the pics are still good for eyes :)
