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.

Not just that, I have links of the places I've gone, will go even places I don't intend to go. Muahahahhahahahaa.... OK! A lot of folks been asking how I travel cheaply ESPECIALLY on transportation and I believe most of you knows the land part and on how to get about cheaply... BUT FLIGHT...hemm.... lemme share a secret....WELL! Not actually a secret SECRET, I bet most people already knew but for those that don't.... go to below links yah. HEAVEN!


NO WORRIES, They have it by continent hence none of you will ever felt left out :P


Then ofcos the ever so helpful HOP-ON HOP-OFF (HOHO as what Andrea and I always say). I should try the one in KL and compare to overseas :P Wonder how Malaysia will fair…

HALAL! Found this good site, HELPED me a lot so far.

This is abit expensive traveling hobby aside from those WEIRD adventurish stuff I love to do. Hard Rock Cafe shirt & shotglass!!! Sometimes I give it a miss as the cost can be a weeeeee bit expensive like the one in Stockholm! This site I got actually inform you the OPENING, REOPEN, CLOSE DOWN, RELOCATION of most HRC in the world. FANTASTIC! SOOOOO... those traveling, pandai pandai lar huh! Don't worry, I pay back wan...

By the way, I collect magnets as well...hehehheee.... MOST of my FRIENDS has been helpful lar.... ain't complaining so keep 'em coming!

This is the resort of my dream.... when lar I get t go..... sigh....BUT it's OK lar as I am contented with my traveling needs/places (BUT if dapat FREE, BEST lar jugak kan kan kan... hehehheee). OK! OK! OK! Need not necessarily be this Aman i-Khas, as long as any AMAN RESORT will do! HAHAHAHHAAA.... Belanda mintak tanah betul lar (proverb).

That's about it folks... as for the rest... let me dig my slides (YUP! I prepare slides for each trip!)
