Earlier last month Sony released the latest version of the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for the Xperia Z series device with build number 10.5.A.0.230 for Xperia Z, Xperiz ZL, Xperia ZR and Tablet Z. The problem soon came when many Xperia users who upgraded to Android 4.4.2 10.5.A.0.230 build reported to have quick battery drain issues as well overheating due to too much load placed onto the CPU. Personally I have struggled to keep the phone (My Xperia ZR) on throughout the day as the battery drain has been absolutely horrible, by lunch time I am normally left with only 40% battery and the phone tends to heat up in my pocket. Sony has now acknowledged the battery performance issue and notes that they have identified the root cause of the battery issue that is related to latest version of Google Play services 4.4.52.

It was 3am when the alarm went off as I fought the urge to go back to sleep as I had only manage to get a couple of hours of tossing and turning. As pulled myself out of the bed the excitement slowly triggered and a pot of coffee was essential to keeping me awake for the journey.

About 30 minutes later, Raimy my brother arrived to fetch me and we loaded all the gear at the back of his pick-up. We had one stop before we could proceed to Gua Musang which was to fetch my friend Syiaful in Kuala Lumpur. Initially there were supposed to be four climbers, however due to some unforeseen circumstances, it would just be the three of us.

I was going through my old hard drive when I came across these old photos which were taken back in the summer of 2008, in Sweden. Decided to give them a bit of a tune up and post them here. All photos taken using my old Nikon D80 and the stock 18 -135mm lense

Since starting climbing ever so frequently, I decided that the first piece of equipment that I would need would be rock climbing shoes.  After climbing for a few months I was sick of renting from the climbing gym which were not only pricey, but they smelled liked Danish rotten cheese and to top it off had holes in some of them.

Batu Caves is a large limestone outcrop famous for its temple which draws in thousands of Hindu devotees every year. The main attraction is its 272 steps leading up to the main temple which is situated 100 meters above the ground and inside a large cave. However what I came to know only recently is that Batu Caves is also a hot spot for a very different sort of activity. What I’m referring to is rock climbing the limestone and granite walls of the mountain. In total Batu Caves has 8 different crags and a total of 170 routes.
