2012 in a wrap..

Today marks the end of 2012...

12 days after the supposed end of the world prediction by the Mayans.
If this is just a prank by ancient Mayans, it is the most successful prank and probably the oldest lie ever on humanity. The ancestors of the Mayans must be smiling wide..
Anyway, I came across a few articles that says existing Mayan believes that it marks only the end of 4th generation of the Mayans. It is  the westerners who misinterpret them and I don't know how it spreads out to the rest of the world.

My self in the other hand, doesn't believe this crap..

I manage to get myself a second bike.. Kawasaki Versys 650 in October 2012.

I also managed to get sponsor from the company that I am currently employed; ALSTOM, for my attempt (and 55 other swimmers) to create a new Malaysian record of swimming 56km around Tioman Island sometime in April 2013.

My last activity last year; i re-painted my MHR helmet from the original tribal design to matte black!
