greetings from MORDOR

ahem. this is my mother on Mt. Kinabalu. the two slackers in the background had their legs fail on them before they managed to catch up with her.


here is another proud shot of yet more slackers who didn't wake up early enough. see my mother laugh at them. laugh, mother, laugh.


and finally, this is the End of The World, where the Corpse Flower Blooms. also, makes Pretty Cool Pictures.

All those marathon runs and walks that your mother did must have made the climb easy. who took the pics? any of you kids climbed the mountain with her?

silin: us children stayed at home where it was safe and warm :D pix were taken by her friend. it took them 3-4 hours from base camp to peak, so they missed the sunrise. shame.

alice nojey: i think there's a chair on wheels connected to that rope in the last picture. you sit in it and tug the rope so the bells ring on the other end and whoever's on the top will pull you up. sez me :D
