Kilimanjaro Song
Found this Kilimanjaro song. One that the porters sing to the group on the way down the mountain.
It is so cheerful and a wonderful conclusion to a great climb.
Kilimanjaro. Highest point on the continent of Africa. 5895m.

Quink
Welcome to our latest addition to our family, Quink. Ironically named after the famous Parker range of fountain pen coloured inks. He is our third and latest member of the Schnauzer brood. Fran and I must be Schnauzer crazy. We would not have gotten any other breed of dog.
Some facts first... he is 8 weeks old, Miniature Schnauzer and beautifully white. Picked him up from the pet shop at Bukit Panjang Plaza on 4 Nov 06. His birthday being listed as 21 August 06.
He is a definitely a contrast to the colour of our other dogs. Shy initially, over the past 2 days, he has shed all inhibitions and has been running around the whole place, biting any soft toy he can find and nipping at Nelle and Socks whenever he can. He is a curious little puppy but has shown signs of being an intelligent little fellow.

Four Star Kayaking ****
I have officially signed up for the 4 star kayaking award course to be conducted in Jan 07. This will be held in Ramunia, Johor during the monsoon season. This 4 star award is the standard adopted by the Singapore Canoe Federation and is based largely on the British Canoe Union (BCU) standards.
Having come a long way through the various kayaking awards, the 4 star is divided into two categories, sea and river. This course covers the sea and open water component, where advanced skills are taught to the paddler to evaluate and tackle more difficult sea conditions. This is a precious opportunity to be exposed to difficult waves and seas, This will definitely stand me in good stead as I continue to acquire and refine skills that will enable me to go further and safer.
Look at the course syllabus under the following link:

Just as an end to this entry, I share with you all the picture shown above of incredible wave conditions. If this is what the skills can enable me to do... awesome!
