Turning Point 转折点

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-...

Just woke up from a 3-hour nap after taking cold & flu tablets. I felt it coming that's why I drank lots of water and orange juice the past few days. But a day out to the city and a walk under the scorching sun defeated my immune system (plus I have been so lazy that I have not exercise for a long time :() The long walk. It's around 800m (I am just guessing). Not a big deal compare to the 2-3km I had when I was in UK. BUT, not this weather. Left work early, headed to the pharmacy to buy flu tablets. The price difference between drowsy and non-drowsy pills is quite significant. RM 28 for non-drowsy and RM 4.50 for drowsy. RM 4.50 that's it. Afterall, I know I will sleep through the afternoon.  The mess I created in a few hours time.  Feeling much better after the nap and gonna start clearing my pending tasks. That's life, it goes on :| Blame the flu for making me sentimental at this moment -_-. The greatest wealth is health.  ~Virgil

I have to admit procrastination is my biggest enemy. My to do list is so long that I've lost track of the beginning of the list ~_~. I am supposed to work out my wish list, get pictures printed and create my own so-called wish board but as usual I am procrastinating, since weeks ago. This is more like a vision board but almost the same thing la. You get the idea? Pic grabbed from google image. Even blogging about this took me more than an hour. In between, I was on the bed, in the toilet, brushed my teeth, played my phone... I am continuing this after a 5 minutes phone call (ya, procrastinating again :|). Oh, another half an hour gone, typing this after my shower. I know you feel like whacking me when you read this. I'm doing this to show you how far a procrastinator can go. By the way, that's not the main objective of this entry. I'm typing craps here just to remind myself I still have tons to do. To create a blog post out of nowhere and to let you know I...

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.....
