Passion Quirks‏

The other side of me.



The kinda silly one that most of my friend beh tahan (can't bare) is my dressing... looked normal right in all my pics?!!?!? YOU SEE.... I MUST look good in pics because the logic is that I won't be spending the same amount of dollars to travel to the same place AGAIN! THUS....I make sure

- The clothes I bring are of all colours, meaning all of the rainbow colour will be in the luggage (you won't caught me in more then 2 black items per trip)
- Different hair style each trip (though I hardly follow this rule these days)
- NO REPEAT of clothes within the last 2 years of my travel unless to the same country over & over again (ie Bali/ Bangkok etc etc), hence all destination are special (DRAMA!)
- 1x JEANS ONLY (I will wear to/from the trip - to lighten the weight, in between? dresses, skirts, shorts, whatever lar...
- STRANGELY am not a toiletries person ie I MEMANG even at home (really) DO NOT use any fancy soup, body wash, shampoo etc, NOR do I use moisturizer, toner or whatever stuff those girls put on their face. I ONLY USE Johnson Baby lotion since like forever (since baby!)
- Make-up ? BASIC. Foundation, Johnson Baby Powder, eye-brow pencil, blusher & lipstick AND I don't touch-up after that (MALAS!). YUP! Low maintenance gurl I am.
- NO BLACK colour luggage nor backpack nor passport holder nor any accessories lor, hard to locate lar if it goes "missing"... so, I play my PSP while waiting for luggage (I can spot it a mile away). Most of my stuff are in apple green (black colour means I need to stand near the belt and keep flipping and checking). FAVOURITE COLOUR = GREEN
- 1x UNIQUE adventure per country (if I can help it lar) ie abseiling, bamboo rafting, microlight, sand boarding, sunflower field, desert hike, cruise, road trip etc etc ZOO as well (I HEART ZOOOOO)
- 3x SD card minimum! I can easily take thousands of pics per trip
- MUST MUST MUST have UNESCO site in each trip, else LILY NO GO! Action nye..
- NOT into shopping! THUS, NO SHOPPING COUNTRY unless you tempt me with some UNESCO site as mandatory visit! Hehehhehee....
- DESPITE all of the above, I still manage to travel LIGHT! But no REAL backpacking trip as I injured my knee.

Enough about my travel-bringings.

In office; my cubicle is like a travel desk, colleagues tend to stop by to ask about travel, map, location, activities etc even to a country I have never been before, so much so that I can't bring home the map I received 2 years for my BIRD DAY. Bird day pressie is fully utilised & optimised by the whole floor of which I think Lisa gotten back her ROI if I were to charged everyone who uses it at RM1 per view, heehehhehe.... (Thanks Lisa, LOVE me map).

Wonders of the World & UNESCO sites are my main aim, will hunt for it at every country and cities I go. Crazy huh! YES! I voted in the New7Wonders campaign. And YES was very upset that Borobudur is not one of it nor was Angkor Wat. Shouldn't the nomination be base on the technology, resources & material being use that is NOT easily available during those period PLUS the age of the wonders.
