Nasan ako?

Kasalukuyang nasa byahe sa isang mahabang expressway papuntang Port Dickson, Malaysia na 40kph ata ang takbo. Wala lang magawa. Tamang trip na makalakwatsa over the weekend. Bitbit isang maliit na backpack, passport, at RM125 -- i can do this!!! :)

Essential sakin sa byahe ang tugtog at libro. Dahil sabaw ang utak ko ngayon para maka-grasp ( Read more... )

 Kumati na naman ang paa ko nitong weekend. Nagbook ako kasama ng isang kaibigan ng 2D1N stay sa Heritage Hotel sa Cameron Highlands (CH). Groupon 'to kaya mura lang. 10pm umalis ng Singapore, dumaan sa TUAS kaya naging mas mabilis ang paglabas sa immigration (compared sa Johor Bahru).

Mega borlog lang ako sa bus. Antagal naman kasi ng byahe. Parang ( Read more... )

Stuck some clothes in a sack
I'm slipping out the back door
I literally slipped out of the house as quietly as possible the wee hours in the morning of July 01 with my backpack, passport, and some cash. I'm finally going out of town! Woopee!!
This weekend get-away was planned two months ago when the office announced that a long weekend is expected in ( Read more... )

See, I have finished the entire Penang trip journal for the whole day. Woopee!!!
I admit, I put my heart out in this because tomorrow is yet for a new adventure - wakeboarding in Batam, Indonesia. And it deserves a new post, I guess. =)

Anyway, here's the third installment of this travel-now-pay-later roadtrip that I've been digging to for almost ( Read more... )

This entry sums up everything about the second day trip in Penang - to the beautiful beach, corals, marine life and good people in Langkawi Coral.

Day 2 (August 07, 2010):
Woke up early on the second day in Penang. We left the hotel at around 7:45am to go to Langkawi Coral. We first stopped by the other people who would be joining the tour along the ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is yet another adventure, this time in the waters. ;)

See, I finished this off already instead of concentrating to the Penang post.
These were the behind-the-scenes-10-shot-pictures-in-10-seconds-interval setting on Gee's camera.
We fooled around and did a lot of posts and re-enactment to get this 'photoshoot' possible.
From the afternoon of Day 1, to the night of Day 2, until the waiting for our coach ( Read more... )

It’s a day before the much awaited talk-of-the-town trip. =)
Gee and I have been here and there searching for the underwater camera casing for her Canon G11 but it was a whopping ~$250sgd - an amount we both know we could not afford spending for right now. We tried looking for the Dicapac instead but luck was not on our side and we weren't able to ( Read more... )

Of course, any trip without the preparations and the pre-accounting stuff is a total no-no or at least to me being obsessive compulsive on budget costing. =)

Though we would be splurging on someone else’s money, we still did a lot of tweakings to accommodate all the food, entrance fees, and transpo we’ll be taking there, plus the souvenirs we’ll ( Read more... )
