About 5 years ago i went White Water Rafting (WWR) in Kuala Kubu Bharu with a bunch of friends. We were very fortunate that it had rained the previous night so we had rapids up to level 4 and 5!!! Our boat capsized and i even got pinned under a 200 pound man but it was one of the best and most thrilling experiences of my life!
So since then i've been just dying to go again. They don't have it anymore at KKB but you can drive up to Slim River although you can only get Level 2 and 3 rapids there. Still i reckon it would be a fun road trip and so i've been (relentlessly) trying to convince the gang to go but they want to go for swimming lessons first...and mind you these are the boys who are suggesting this!
My bro looks perpetually terrified whenever i bring it up cos he is so afraid he'll drown
That's the whole point morons!! That there is a risk of dying....or injuring yourself badly! That's what adds to the thrill!
Anyhoo.....i'm determined not to give up and have been trying to think of some way to entice them....with most men hot chicks would probably work, but with these buggers i'll probably have to promise them a few bottles of Glen or Old Par after the rafting!
Any other suggestions are strongly welcomed of course

Of all things i actually bumped into my Standard 1 (Primary 1) teacher in the hospital! And she still remembered me!!!! So shocking k...i mean that was like 25-freaking-years ago!!!
It reminded me of how lost i was on my 1st day of school....i entered i think a month after everyone so i kinda struggled a bit....hell i didn't even know how to write the date! Lol
And here i am several years later, doing my postgrad and i still don't know how to tell the time (although in my defense those damn 'hands' can be very deceiving)

Being a vegetarian is really not an issue although on those rare occasions i do feel like ploughing thru a whole slab of meat!
It was Edison or Einstein or one of those brainiacs who said something about how we are still savages if we have to kill living things to fulfill our needs.
Well how about if i found a dead cow on the road?? Or a dead chicken? Would that be ok?? I mean technically i didn't kill it and it's just lying there anyway...blocking traffic....so if anything it would be more of a public service on my part
Sometimes i am amazed at my sense of civic consciousness
:p
Oh and I thought this quote was soo funny :
I will not eat anything that walks, runs, skips, hops or crawls. God knows that I've crawled on occasion, and I'm glad that no one ate me. -----Alex Poulos

If you like danger, Saby, you should go on a crocodile hunt. Eating an animal is justified if you gave it a chance to eat you. I bet your arse would make the crocodile's mouth water.
Vegetablism is a strange thing. After all trees and cabbages and whatnot are alive as well. You would not have much energy for that horrid rafting thing if you only ate lettuce...
From Dylan Moran:
i wud understand the need for u to be a vegetarian if u fell down a flight of stairs, broke ur back, and lost the ability to chew solid food.
if we didnt eat animals, we'd be overrun and the Earth wud be theirs.
Dying straight off is alright I guess... but the thought of getting injured in ways that leave you vegetable-like is pretty darn scary. Which is why I might try the tubing thing instead of real WWR ;)
GB : Oh i draw the line at crocodiles Mr Bananas...can't stand the sight of the buggers!
But yes my arse could accomplish that :)
Mutley : Actually i'm the vegetarian who hates vegetable! LOL!!!
Kav : LOL!!!!! Nicely said. Hahahahahahahaha
Terra : Yes i'm tempted to try the tubing as well but if you've never tried WWR you really really should la babes....u would sooo not regret it!
I remember when my biology professor told us, that he doesn't understand vegetarians, because a salad or a cabbage for him is also alive, a living being. How come they can eat some living beings and some others not? :P Anyway, I'm fine either way, it's personal preference, I don't judge people what they eat, unless they're cannibals :P I even once tried to be a vegetarian for 3 months during the Mad cow disease crazy. I started to eat sweets like crazy, haha :P Anyway, I'm rambling.
Saby, don't go into a kayak, fish will eat you when you fall off :P Stick to Mother Earth, for MKL's sakes! Hehe..
Professor Pete Singer says it is ok to eat roadkill

MKL : Actually i don' think i'd have a problem with cannibals...i mean on the condition that the person is already dead la. Then i don't think there's anything wrong with it :)
Oh and it's not a kayak luv....and i doubt they have wishes that are bug enough to eat me in that river...but i'll keep my eyes open...for your sake :)
Nurse : Woo hooo!!!!!!!!!
LOL!!!
I'll be happy to be tat slab of meat :P
Yes white water rafting, skydiving and the like are all about the adrenaline rush. No other reason to do it.
Well i'm a very messy eater so you'll be all over my face *gives Ricardo a lewd wink*
:p
Love it!
I bet you'd love it, you naughty boy!
*spank*
