New Toy in the House

An eye catching black 2 wheeler had just popped up around mid day along the east coast drive next to the beach on Sunday. Back home browsed thru the magazine and looked for the spec. Next thing on Monday afternoon this cool toy became one of my dark custom collection.

This award winning, 4 times Supersport championship, 4 consecutive years best in class black babe is designated as - Triumph Daytona 675 Triple.

What makes it more unique to me? Daytona is the only production bike in the mid-class market offering 3 cylinders engine, and I found that it is lighter and faster than iL4 but smoother and easier to ride than V2. What a nice try Triumph!!!

British made, for most people it is a con, but I reckon it is a pro. It has soul and characters. Japanese machines are big NO NO for me, but Ducati is everywhere on the street nowaday and losing its uniqueness，and MV Agusta is out of my reach at the moment.

Maintenance consideration? Why should I be worried when it is under full factory warranty for 3 years??

By the way, "God of Speed" Michael Schumacher had choosen Daytona 675 for his Euro Supersport Championship in 2008-9, and I always believe he is more than capable to make the right choice anytime. If he knows what he is doing, no doubt that I am not far behind.

Can't wait to park this British beauty side by side with her American dark custom counterpart - Harley Davidson Nightster XL1200N, to complete the picture.

Now, what is next?? May be a phantom black Ferrari 430SC would fit in the garage well。

What's Love?
Tell me da meaning of true love come on
What's Love?
Cuz I've been looking for true love come on

What's Love?
いっそのこと抱いて抱いて抱いて
きっとまた笑って　泣いてないで
やっぱりほら　寂しいから
明日がくれば　それでバイバイ
“爱してる”なんていらない
本当のことだけ　教えてよ
キミの中にあるリアル
“爱の诗”听かせてよ
so baby hug me hug me hug me
cuz言叶だけだとどこかでempty
气持ち伝わらずに空回り
うすい　言叶より确かなその温もり
so love me love me love me
气持ち先走りbut意味がわからない
ただ　どっかで求める　つながり
谁でも良いわけじゃねぇがさみしいso
Whats love?　目には见えねぇ
风のように　姿かたちもねぇ、なのに
草木は摇れ云流れ
凉しげな风に仆らは愈されて
so　”Whats love?”　”Whats love”?
今はまだわかんなくて良いcuz
何时か自然に知るだろう
その时にyou'll know, this is love
いっそのこと抱いて抱いて抱いて
きっとまた笑って　泣いてないで
やっぱりほら　寂しいから
明日がくれば　それでバイバイ
“爱してる”なんていらない
本当のことだけ　教えてよ
キミの中にあるリアル
“爱の诗”听かせてよ
分からない　分かりたくない
なんで结局こ一なっちゃうんだよ
嘘ばかり　伪りだらけ
もう何も信じられなくなるよ
欲しいものならあげたハズなのに
赖りない“I love you”
これ以上近づけないの?
叫んでしまう“I missing you”
yo　人は皆どこか寂しがりやで
ただただ　谁かに爱されたくて
なのに伤つけて　伤つけられての
缲り返しに　疲れ果てて　マジ
”What's Love ?”　意味忘れて
けど　True Love?　あると信じてぇ
だから　それまでオレは待ち续け
Till the day I can say yo this is love
いっそのこと抱いて抱いて抱いて
きっとまた笑って　泣いてないで
やっぱりほら　寂しいから
明日がくれば　それでバイバイ
“爱してる”なんていらない
本当のことだけ　教えてよ
キミの中にあるリアル
“爱の诗”听かせてよ

Lost Horizon

"The Art of Travel is to Deviate from One's Plan" ......So thats how I started my journey to the Southwestern part of China, where most of the minorities population live.

Friday afternoon, company called me that I have another 14 days leave to burn. Well, nice to hear that, but what am I gonna fill those days then? Pulled out a map and spent 15 mins of thinking, finally pointed my finger to a place where I always want to be and never been there before.

Next morning, which was only 15 hours after I confirmed my leave with company, I was on a flight to Kunming, Yunnan. Nothing much in my head at that moment, no plan, no schedule, just a suitcase and a camera. , and off I went.

Arrived Kunming from Singapore via Haikou, spent a night there. Next day on a flight to Lijiang, where my journey began. Kunming - Lijiang - Shangri-la - Baoshan - Chengdu,  13 days road trip from city to town then to remote area, and from highways to small roads then to mud tracks, a good clean reliable 4X4 served me well throughout the trip.

Temperature ranged from 6 - 30℃, altitude started from 2500m in an old town to 5587m above mean sea level on top of the snowy mountain, driving speed from 120km/h on highway down to <15km/h on a small track in the mountain. All these happened everyday in my road trip, as the locals say "4 seasons in a Mountain", and that means I would experienced 4 seasons while I go thru one mountain.

Driving on a track up and down in the mountain was a lot of fun, with one side up a steep mountain and the other is a cliff where is only 0.5m from your wheels. Every turns would made me feel like driving off the mountain into the valley.

Reaching my destination took me 6 hours of driving from my last stop followed by 2 hours of horse riding and 20 mins walking/climbing thru the mountain, which lead me to an isolated town - Stone Town. Located next to the Jinsha River, away from the outside world. This town is well protected and remote from any commercial influences. Spent 2 nights there resting and thinking will definitely purify and clean our souls.

Beautiful scenic places, nice people, interesting culture and amazing Lama temples are catching my heart as well as opening my eyes. There were too much to say and too much to remember. You gotta be there to expereince and see, then that will be your own memories forever.

The mysterious valley of the Blue Moon, Shangri-la. Hidden from the rest of the world, Shangri-la is a haven of peace and tranquility for the world. The purpose of my trip was end up showing that ideal places to live can and do exist.  They may only be forgotten or lost lands which only need to be found.  May my journey is to help you find your lost horizon.
