My kind of adventure!

To those who does not know me, I am actually a very active outdoor person. Ever since the school days, I always out in the sun or rainy days and if ever our local climate produces the snow, you bet I will be out there to play too. I was the King Scout back in the year 1987. I go everywhere and even camped at the foot of Mount Kinabalu, Sabah, the highest mountain in South East Asia to those who does not know, which the camp ground was crazily cold and we were not allowed to open fire in the night. I even gone underwater in the Mulu Caves, Miri, Sarawak. Just awesome experience.
Now, going through all this outdoor activities you definitely need the know how. What I mean is the thing you take along with you. For us scouts, we can bring our rambo knife as long as it within the one foot long. The most useful tool other than the knife, is none other than the compass to show direction. But even without that compass, we can still find the North location by looking at the stars. Other than you should know how to swim and stay afloat like 10 minutes in the water, be able to climb the rope 30 meters vertically without anyone help, survived 3 nights sleeping in your camp in the jungle with only 3 matches allowed, The King Scout must know how to find the Orion Stars in the night. By reading at this stars at night time, you will be able to locate your destination by comparing with the North direction pointed by the head of the Orion Stars.
For me, other than those two, one thing I can’t live without is the sunglasses. Actually I have a slight eye problem being in the sun. I just have to have Wiley X sunglasses. It is the best protection for my eyes especially for outdoor activist like I used to be. With its compact design, I can be assured that no wind, debris or water can enter my eyes. It is practical and comfortable. I use it everywhere. Except at night. If you ever into motocross, the offroad style, this sunglasses is a must!
There, my three most important gadgets when going for my chosen adventure other than the foods you dying for.

You were a King Scout before? No wonder you are so active in sports. For me, I can go anywhere without my glasses whether it’s day or night, especially my tinted glasses and sunglasses. They dust particles of the air can sometimes made my eyes swollen for a day or two.
