Turning Point 转折点

Penang Accompanied Bin to Penang for his 3D2N work trip last week. My initial plan was to meet up with some friends but since we stayed in Batu Ferringhi, it's quite far from mainland Penang. Furthermore, it's a trip with his boss, so we better be good (joking joking🤣), we actually had free and easy time but we were tied up with work, ended up spending some time working in the hotel room (on the computer, not what you think it is, I know what you are thinking) .  Stopped by the Floating Mosque (Masjid Terapung) on the way to botanical garden. Visited Penang botanical garden and saw many interesting trees and plants. It's a relaxing and cooling place, will definitely pay another visit. One of the reasons we are here - to check out the cannon ball tree. Can you guess the name of this tree? Leave me a comment, coffee or tea on me if you get it right😏 (hint: a type of food) Visited this high rating (on Google) café called Wheelers for breakfast. Coffee and breakfast are sur...

A song that depicts my current life so accurately. I wrote about Being Twenty Something  7 years ago and how time flies without you even realizing...I am already in my 30s T_T! If I could, I would have told the 20-something-me, stop worrying and enjoy your life! If you are still in your 20s, I strongly advise you to: 1. Travel more 2. Forget about those crappy relationships 3. Enjoy being single 4. Play hard but work harder too 5. Treat your family well 6. Save and invest ASAP 7. Buy yourself a property 8. Spend time with true friends 9. Get involved in volunteering work 10. Most importantly, have an open mind, go for your dreams and have no fear. I am sharing the above from the bottom of my heart, lol. I wouldn't say I have regrets but I think I could have done more and better in my 20s :) Your 20’s are your ‘selfish’ years. It’s a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time, and all the aspects of you. Tinker with ...

Headed to the sea with Crabbies on Valentine's Day and spent a great weekend on the island. Hence, haven't been able to blog much, I did try but the cheap alcohol and chocolates stopped me from doing so :X Plus, I've been going to bed late every night and I felt worn out :S Age really does matter. We wanted to do a luxury trip but crabbies being the smart consumers we ended up staying in a budget accommodation. However, we did manage to go for sailing and afternoon tea set :D The affordable seafood dinner, kopitiam chicken rice & mamak stall roti are nice too with the companion of crabbies :p Sunset @ Gunung Raya Gunung Raya Tower, highest viewing point @ Langkawi Sunset @ Gunung Raya Went sailing with the crabbies Sailing @ Kilim Geopark Afternoon Tea @ The Danna (no, we didn't stay in Danna. The cheapest room rate is USD350 per night -__-) Our tea set The beautiful washroom @ The Danna. 5 stars zhau hei 5 stars even toilet ...

I am thankful that I can still sit here (albeit uncomfortably :p) to tell you this story. Pardon my poor English though :) On the 26th of October, the Hari Haji weekend, both me and the bf headed to Kota Bharu for our weekend trip. Didn't manage to do much on 26th itself as most of the shops and tourist attractions were closed due to Haji celebration.   We left Kota Bharu for Ipoh the next day around 11am+. While we were traveling on Jalan Kuala Kerai, we passed by a junction with heavy traffic. Out of a sudden, a car rushed out from the side without giving any signals. We lost control and banged into the 2 cars from the opposite direction. I couldn't remember what happened next because I lost conscious. The next thing I know, I was sprawled out on the road. I can feel the pain on my back, tears flowing down my cheek, surrounded by crowd, a kind lady holding umbrella to shield me from the sun and I kept asking "what happened?".  Ambulance came and I was ad...

I mentioned in Part 1 , it's taboo to continue blogging about Sagada trip because I was typing the post in hungry ghost month at night time, I was going to blog about the Hanging Coffins. And I am scared of ghost -_-! I find it pantang, so I didn't take any pictures while we were there. All photos (almost) stolen from my travel partner's Facebook :D We have to walk pass the cemetery.  To see the hanging coffins After a night spent in Sagada, we took a bus to Banaue. On the way to Banaue Once we arrived in Banaue, we hired a jeepney to bring us to Batad. But no road leads to Batad village, hence the jeepney dropped us at the Batad junction. Recalling this, I feel like crying. It's a 30-minute walk up to reach the Saddle under scorching sun. It was my fault that I didn't check the itinerary with my travel mate. Hence no sunblock applied, with no hats and a heavy backpack, we walk towards the Saddle. The jeepney driver filling petrol.  The 30-...

Too lazy  busy to blog recently :D. A quick update with photos of my trip to Koh Samui. We traveled on motorbike from KL -> Hatyai -> Koh Samui -> Butterworth and back to KL again. All within 5 days and 4 nights. It was tiring and my butt was numbed at the end of the trip. Nevertheless, it's an awesome trip! One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching.

After we arrived at Clark International airport, we headed to Dau bus terminal and took a bus to Baguio. Baguio. We only spent one night here, it's a stopover to Sagada.  My 1st dinner in Philippines Our accommodation in Baguio. Looks old school & vintage?  Most importantly it's clean and affordable, budget travelers we are o_0 Low brew - San Miguel. I make it a habit to try the local beer whenever I travel to a new country.   Bought these from a roadside stall for RM 1.50 only. The cheapest I've ever had. Breakfast at the hotel - tosilog. Taste like char siew but sweeter, not too bad. Bus to Sagada. Our 2nd bus ride in Philippines. We had so many that I lost count. I think we spent more than 24 hours on bus rides.  Interior of the bus. Old school feel ~ Postcards in a restaurant/kedai runcit in Sagada. Where we had lunch, more like a kedai runcit? My purple fried rice :) Church in Sagada We walk.....
