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........
