Travel is my passion

I love travelling, i start to travel in 2003 -what i mean is holidays! Holiday using my own hard-eraned $$$$. I started travelling for holidays after I joined my ex-company. I remember my first trip was to Langkawi. I won a 3D2N hotel voucher in Langkawi so i make trip down there with my friend. We took a bus there. Not sure whether Air Asia has started their around operations then. It's in March 2003 & it's the first time we travel together. We rented a car to drive the island & the car broke down on the second day. I remember my friend was so scared but i wasn't scared at all. The car even broke down at sloppy area. Huh what a holiday but i enjoyed it very much.

My second holiday is to Bangkok in year 2004. I went with the same friend. I still remember that year - we have the bird flu in the Asean. Nevertheless, I still make the trip to Bangkok. It's an eye opener experience - 1st time going overseas. Didn't know how to bargain. The guide is quite nice & friendly. Still remember went to this "Tiger show" which actually means "Thai Girl Show". It just didn't cross my mind then but our guide really bring us to this "Red Light District" - very rundown type of place. It's an eye opener show - can't describe it. It's a pick-up joint too. We missed the Chatuchak weekend market due to the bird flu disease. It's better not to go then.

No Pictures for my first 2 travles coz i don't have digicam then.

The 3rd holiday is to Beijing in 2005. I went to the MATTA Fair with my sis & saw this very cheap package. So we decided to buy & visit Beijing. It's an 8 day tour & we're travelling with a group of people - about 20plus of us. The first day we arrive, temperature soared to 40degree - it was so hot. And I'm very impressed with the Beijing Underground City. This very cheap package means a lot of shopping stop as the guide earns commisions from there. We bought a lot if things ( maybe we got conned on some of the items ) - anyway it's another experience for me. I fall sick when I came back.

In 2006, I went to Kota Kinabalu - i just love this place. The people there are warm & friendly & the places are interesting. I didn't climb Mt. Kinabalu coz I'm not prepared but i went to many places - Pulau Tiga, Pulau Manukan, white water rafting at Kiulu River, Poring Hotspring, Kundasang, Tip of Borneo, Pesta Keamatan (Harvest Festival) etc. I lost my camera (sob sob) many interesting pics just gone....so sad.. It's my sis camera so i need to fork out $$ to buy another new camera for her. $$ just gone like that.

I will continue on my 2007 journey on my next blog......

Well, every places that I went makes my life more colourful as I experienced more in life - i see more & learn more....& makes me yearn more to travel around the world. The world is so big out there, so many things to see - I don't want to confine myself in Malaysia. Let's go travel........

We are welcoming the year of Tiger.....a lot of ppl saying Tiger Year is not a good year for marriage blah blah blah....But is it really true? Anyway, I'm lLooking forward to see all the nice & beautiful CNY deco at the malls around town. Since last December 2009 till now, I feel like am so busy but dunno wat am busy with? It's like non-stop working or filled with some activities....I need some rest, more rest & more rest.....Working 5 1/2 days/week is tiring, i really wish to have shorter working days - now considering to move on to other job coz i think it's about time to move on coz can't see any future here.....Why waste time? Time never waits for me....I need to chase after them...Okay enough of complaining......It's time to do some shopping for CNY.

Signs of old age

When you are mentally tired & physically exhausted....U sleep straightaway after came back from work.......feel tired all day long & aching body. Scary!

What do you think of a bonus?

Just curious to know your answer? I was given a survey form which includes the question above from my boss....... just wondering what would be your answer....A few of my friends just answer "I DESERVE IT"....How about u? Sometimes, being an employer & being an employee has really conflicting points of view.

My answer - it's a motivating factor. If company is making profits, we should get more BONUS....

Happy New Year 2010

Just like to wish everyone Happy New Year 2010.......May this new year bring you new hope, new achievement & blessed with love, happiness, health & wealth.

Spend my New Year Eve in Langkawi Island with my family....it's great coz we rarely have this opportunity to travel together.

Langkawi is an island in the northern state of Malaysia & it's a duty free shopping paradise... that means you can get cheap liquors & chocolates there. It's really very very cheap there. We bought a lot of chocolates & a few bottles of wine (my family doesn't like to drink).

A lot of tourists ( foreigners & locals) there.....i remember the last few times that I came, there were not many tourists probably due to low season. Langkawi is a good place to visit with family & friends coz there are so many things to do....Eat, Island Hopping, Swim at beaches, Visit some places of attraction etc....
