    man..i've just spent a good 1.5 hours reading all ur adventures and as an avid cyclist as well, must i say, u guys were great and inspiring!!

    never agreed more on ur comment saying how our people don realize that there is so much beauty in our own backyard!

    I have now put "Pedalling Malaysia" as one new entry into the "Things To Do Before I Die List" and when it happens, hopefully next yr, i will have you guys to thank for this.

    Cheers, take care and ride safe!!

    Hi Mak & Sanz,

    I stumbled upon your "Backyard Explorations" article in The Star paper dated 23rd May 2009.

    It was a great article! I was blown away with your biking adventure with Mark around Malaysia. The sitting and leaning Buddha really amazes me. I really wanna explore these places!!!

    I like the way you penned your article. It was honest, interesting and fun from the first up to the last paragraph. I LOVE the part about discovering the hidden Buddha's Statue.

    I'm no cyclist. The last time I ride a bicycle was few weeks ago exploring Taman Pertanian Malaysia, Bukit Cahaya.

    I have to agree with you that there are plenty of amazing places in Malaysia.

    Thank you for sharing your pain and joy during the entire trip.

    Best Wishes,
    mylo

    Hi Mylo,

    Many thanks for the wonderful comments! I am truly amazed at how our story managed to touch some people's lives :o)

    Yes, Malaysia is a beautiful place to discover and hopefully, more Malaysians will be doing the "cuti cuti Malaysia" more often!!

    Warm regards
    Sanz

    Wow, such awesome and spirited adventure. You sure can put a lot of healthy and macho males out there to shame. Wish that I could live out my dreams too, one day.

    Anyway congrats my friend and keep up the iron spirit

    One of these days, I hope to traverse the whole of north and south islands of New Zealand be it cycling or in a campervan with my whole chain gang including you. That'll be cool right? Imagine, a fat woman cycling and maybe halfway see her struggling by the roadside. What a beautiful scene that'll be.

    We shall wait for that day shall we not.
