We just played with Google Earth, the application that integrate with GPS data. The problem is we haven't got the USB cable connector for e-Trex garmin GPS receiver. So Mark created this connector with 9pin to 4 teeth into GPS. We used GPSUtility 4.15.5 freeware. GPSU not allowed us to save file, so we input manually into Google Earth. The result was not too bad.

Those picture above taken from trekking in Mt Semeru Java. We held the data but simply didn't work it out how to store it. Oh yes a good news is Google put altitude information on mountains or POI.

We can create path based on log data but we haven't purchase the Google Earth Plus (US$30). So in meantime we just delighted what we've done.

The lake in the Chinese Garden magically change into pre-historic lantern lake with dinosaurus and a volcano, completed with sound effect. Wow !!!!

Mark always got problems with stairs. I keep remind him "watch your step, please..." *with ugly and demanding look*. The last accident was in a bus stop opposite Dhoby Ghaut two days ago. He run over the bus with two hands full of shopping bag contains bottles of beer. He fell over just next two girls in the seating area. Uppsss...they just amazed to see an ang moh (=white man) flying...

This picture taken from Little India when we had fish head curry. We walked through Serangoon Rd packed with street vendor, and other services....so anyone need manicure ???

It's difficult to convince people how delicious the fish heads are. People think fish head is all bones but Asian's loves eat something that takes effort, not just a piece of meat. So the art is : you have to work hard before getting what you want. Believe me it was rewarding ! Aparently fish head is one of Singapore national dishes. So you better try it.

Thanks for Mr Douglas's maid who recommended the Gayatri restaurant.
