Travel bug

I know I've always been into travelling.. even when i was broke. I recalled a few years ago someone told me it is because my generation of people were born during some alignment of the moon or some planets that people born during the 1980s were during the time of Mercury or something (the bullshit i can't remember) and were all into travelling. So blame it on the galaxy alignment... 

I wonder if i should change this boring blog of my life to the different travel journey's I've taken. I already share my travels but i was thinking of writing all the beautiful things i see, experience and all that. Perhaps i'll give it a try. 

Note: I'm not the richest girl around and i travel cheap/moderately and most of the time it's to somewhere nearby. We have 4 more months to go till 2012 happens and i have quite a number of places i already have in store... 

 Let's see.. Last 2 weeks ago was Jakarta & Bandung .. Which i will not blog about since i was 99.9% shopping only and didn't take much pictures.

 Coming up next would be Kuantan even though the trip is meant for mainly the Capoeira Batizado for a group there, I'll try to start from there and go around (if time permits me)

Kuantan, Teluk Cempedak Beach - Capoeira event location

After Kuantan in September, the next in schedule would be Janda Baik in Pahang. Some quite resort area filled with nature. This trip would be just 3 girls and it's for catching up and relaxing.. Also because we bought it cheap from Groupon Malaysia. 

Janda Baik - It looks nice.. we booked a whole house not this one i think

 The weekend right after that, Nadja saw this deal and bought also from GroupOn Malaysia a weekend for me and her to relax and at last visit Cameron Highlands. I foresee loads of pictures for this trip.. my mom even laughed at me for not being to Cameron highlands before and she drives there sometimes just for lunch.. Zzzzzz

Smokehouse, Cameron Highlands

 In November, we have Phuket early of the month. Did you know my father's family originated from Phuket? We apparently owned some plantation of some sort which my grandpa gave it away to his brother and moved to Malaysia. So this time around i want to head there for the first time and if there is a chance, to also meet my family there which i don't know who they are or seen them but i do have a phone number.. but i don't speak thai. Hmmm... Gonna be tricky. But either ways, will be loving the beach with Nadja, Urko,my aunt and her partner.

I hope Phuket will be as awesome as i expect it to be.

Oh did i mention, there might be a possibility of Jakarta again in October and Ho Chin Minh in Novemeber. Depending how lucky i am with AIrAsia.com or Fireflyz :) 


Wish me good luck with my blog post on travelling soon.. Perhaps i will go korek some old pictures to blog about past travels again.. :) hehehhe...

Best work / non work day ever...

As the office goes off to Nike SEA office in Singapore, the contract staffs in Nike Malaysia and the Nike golf people are left in for the next 3 days in our Malaysia office. (well i guess the same to the other offices around SEA).


The boss gave all of us contract staffs a day off on Monday to somewhat compensate for us not getting to go to Singapore. Are you kidding me? Already it's a celebration to be at the office with absolute (almost) tranquility... a day off? Awesome! Also asked to go have lunch and watch a movie / theme park fully claimable to the office. 


So i lay down in bed enjoying my happy hours of absolute laziness this morning. At about 9am, my warehouse started calling me asking about this and that for work. I answered and said good night.... they called again.. asking for something else. After awhile, i just got so irritated that i decided to go in to office to "entertain" all the requests. Talk about getting the day off.


But it was still an awesome day so far... Me and Average Joe took an early lunch nearby at Damansara Perdana and decided to do some grocery shopping at Solaris, Mont Kiara. Thanks to an awesome friend, i had Cold Storage shopping vouchers. We ended up buying RM 203.70 and i had to pay RM 3.70. Already a happy women, we drove back to the office to get our work done.

Around 2:30pm, we got bored and decided to go watch a movie..so we did! Now i'm back in the office blogging and working.. Gosh! i wish every workday was like this. I would retire here!!!  If i could! :) 

Fasting...Year 3

For those who do not know, this is my 3rd year fasting in full. Well almost full... I still swear and think naughty...
This year has been easier for me than last... For the days i do not train capoeira that is. 

As i am so used to the environment around me during these fasting month, it really woke me up when i read this post by this mat salleh dudedette which monir told me to read.

Indeed it's true, I get the same comments and remarks by mostly my non Muslim friends. For my muslim friends, they did not find it offending but instead supportive. Some friends even asked me if i was converting to becoming a Muslim (in a judgmental way) and some just laugh and say I will convert soon.


If that is the case, i would have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist & Dudeism since i in some way participated in certain things & events or ceremony. I celebrate X'mas and attended bible studies and donated to churches, I am vegetarian during the 9th month of the lunar calender and I practice free spirited thinking.. Muahahhaha....


I call myself... 1 MALAYSIAN :) So take it... and GO....
