Eat dirt

February 8th, 2010 · 3 Comments · ~ Travel ~

Spent two days in the wilderness recently in Jelebu, Negeri 9. Twas to review Kawasaki’s latest dual-purpose bike, the KLX 150S.
Being a 150, too little power for me. Am into bikes, but not small ones. But this one’s a lil different. When ur off-road, a light bike’s more flexible and maneuverable.

The review’s for The [...]

Pussified drinkers are d opposite - drink like once a month - that also one fucking drink only and they “gotta run”. Run where? To d hospital to get their stomach pumped?
I [...]

Island of non-drinkers?

August 21st, 2009 · 3 Comments · ~ Beer / ale / stout ~, ~ Moonshine! ~, ~ Travel ~

Though they produce their own brew, booze is not a highlight if u travel there. Beer is not easily available, neither are toddy and arrack. A huge difference to d last [...]
