I feel blessed living in this part of town where there are hiking trails, just minutes away, that makes you feel like you're out in the bush. Just today, I went for a 11km hike through the Dandenong Ranges with a few good mates from the medical school days. The walk was quite OK, not as arduous as I thought it would be, given that I've not done this sort of activity for quite a while. Let's say, since my pre-wedding days!
Ada, Jess and Grace
Ada is training to conquer Mt. Kinabalu in August, the highest peak in South East Asia. I did this when I was 14, a little less than half the age of what I am now! Geez... has it been that long? Anyways, I have always loved hiking, walking through the woods. I love breaking out in a sweat, feeling the heart thumping, breathing the clean fresh air and the cool wind on my face. It's so refreshing, rejuvenating. And the feeling afterwards, a sense of accomplishment and calm.
The trail started at the base of the 1000 steps at Mt. Dandenong National Park, a replica of the Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea. We went on further up to One Tree Hill, and then to several other trails around the area. It took us about 3 hours for the entire journey, which wasn't too bad. There were some parts which were quite steep, testing our quadriceps and cardiovascular capacity. We saw two somewhat elderly ladies walking up a rather steep slope, which was inspiration to us and pushed us along. Most of the way, it was just a gentle slope.
And of course, there's always a decent meal planned for after all the work is done. We had a Chinese banquet dinner at Crown Palace in Vermont South, a reward for all our hard work. My legs are hurting like monsters, and I'm waddling like I'm 7 months preggers. And right now, I just want to go to bed.

Hi again!
I was looking through some of your other posts and realised that I know your husband and his brother!! I was friends with his brother way back when he was still in high school (must be about 12 yrs ago now) but we lost contact. It's good to see everyone has grown up and you and Gary have two wonderful boys! Say hi to them for me... hopefully they still remember me!
Cheers, April

KadusMama, welcome back! I do check on you every now and then, to get entertained by your little musings, but I'm sometimes a little 'malas' to comment, shame on me! But yes, I am good! The boys are keeping me very very busy.

In my opinion, it is an interesting question, I will take part in discussion. I know, that together we can come to a right answer.
Better late, than never.
It is a pity, that now I can not express - it is compelled to leave. I will be released - I will necessarily express the opinion on this question.
Certainly, it is right
This topic is simply matchless :), it is very interesting to me.
