That was the last hike I did for the year. The day before I had gone for another hike which took me through Stages 5 &#038; 6 of the MacLehose Trail. I had convinced Slumbering Girl (who was visiting HK with her mum) to come along with me, but I think I killed her legs that day. I must commend her on her perseverance and give her a big pat on the back despite the hike being a difficult one for her. That said, at least we went up to two of Kowloon&#8217;s nine peaks &#8211; Lion Rock and Beacon Hill (both about 495m above sea level).<br \/>\nI spent a few days in Singapore from 31 Dec &#8211; 3 Jan and it was nice being home for a short while. Managed to catch up with some close friends. As usual, I ate too much over the holiday season and now it&#8217;s time to start buckling down to getting fit again and shedding some unwanted pounds. But right now I&#8217;m down with a nasty cold that has left me knocked out.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s in stall for me in 2010 but let&#8217;s hope it&#8217;s a year full of adventure, family, friends, happiness and food! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scene from the hike at Clear Water Bay Country Park Trail Let&#8217;s start off 2010 with a picture taken from a healthy activity I partook in on Sunday 26 December 2009.
