Before 2010 close it's chapter, I already planned for my 2011 travel.
Next year I'm going to Medan & Lake Toba in Q1. It's a family trip coz I manage to get cheap package during MATTA Fair. I've been waiting for a family trip coz we seldom travel for holidays...the last one is 2009 year end travel to Langkawi.
Thereafter, I'm going to Mulu Caves in Q2, this trip have been booked earlier when I just came back from Mt. Kinabalu middle of this year. At that time, I'm still very adventurous & I saw the pics of Pinnacles that my sis took when she climbed earlier, I told myself I must go there....Got a few friends who also interested so I booked the flight in June 2010.
Taking advantage of 0 fare promo from Air Asia, recently I have booked flights to Surabaya-Bali-Bandung. This trip is in Q3. It's a round trip from 1 place to another. I've been wanting to go to Bali for many years already...Finally booked a ticket with additional 2 places to visit. WOW!!
There goes all my leave. I think I'm a bad employee coz I've been thinking of holiday plans 1 year in advance but never plan on my work 1 year in advance. Now I even created a group in FB which is called Eat....Play...Love (taking inspiration from the movie Eat...Pray...Love) & I saw this Eat..Play...Love also being used in Air Asia website ( i steal their idea)....hahaha....this is a group who loves to eat & play & loving what they do....More activities to be announced!!!

Meeting with Rafflesia on 5 September 2010
Date: 5 September 2010
It's a Sunday & here is my journey to say hello to the rafflesia flower (biggest flower in the world)
I always thought that Rafflesia only can be found in Sabah (which is located in East Malaysia) but I saw a picture of my boss with rafflesia. And I asked him where is it? He told me somewhere near Gopeng. So I did some research online and then came an opportunity in a form of group tour to see rafflesia organised by My Travel Kaki. I have to pay RM90 to join this tour.
I'm impressed with the effort of the conservation project at Ulu Geroh undertaken by several organisations together with the Orang Asli community there.

So on the morning of 5 Sept, I went to the meet-up point at McDonalds Centre Point Bandar Utama & meet up with the organiser & the rest of the group. Our journey started about 7.30a.m and we reached Gopeng about 9 plus in the morning. We met our guide at the entrance of Gua Tempurung & was transported to the Orang Asli Village in Ulu Geroh by their transport - a small lorry. We reached Ulu Geroh after about 45mins ride. And we are told that we have to trek about 1 hr plus to see the rafflesia flower & we are being warned that there will be lots of leeches along the way. Even the trail we use is called "Pacat Trail". So 9 of us with 4 guides from the Orang Asli Community & Riverbug started our journey to meet the Rafflesia. It's a difficult climb for me coz never exercise regularly before the steep climb but i made it at last.......Pictures say a thousand words....looking at the rafflesia make up the day for me ..... all the tiredness gone...BTW, I survived without any bites from the leeches.
