Everest Base Camp Postponed

My dream of going for a trek at the Himalayas is being postponed.

 (photo taken from here)

No more going for my trek in October. It is postponed till next year April.

Meanwhile, I seriously needs a holiday! Anyone wants to go for a holiday between May-July?

P.S: I seriously need to start to train for my 10km. It has been too long since I last jogged.

Tioman Trip Day 1 - Super backdated post

I went to Tioman with Juat and her friend Fizah on 7 - 9 May 2010. We had to meet at beach road at 6am. I was actually quite tired because I only slept at 3+am and woke up at 5+am. I was helping SOMEONE with his "mindmaps". But well, I'm not grumbling about it. (I think) he is quite appreciative about it, while I'm smsing him..... he asked me "go sleep in your bus".. but also because I mentioned something to him... lolx.


Anyway, it was a nice trip. It's my 4th leisure trip overseas. 1st was back in Taiwan in 2005 with all gals group. 2nd was the trip to BKK with SY. And 3rd was the last min trip to Kluang with juat. And 4th was this trip. I so needed another trip overseas now.....

Following were the fun, joy and food... ....

This is me, while waiting for the bus to start driving.....

Finally there is a stop for breakfast. The stopover coffee shop:

And I spotted a cat .... small and weak....

And how can I miss drinking some coffee? Coffee with coffee powder in the packet:

And the scene outside is quite nice that Juat suggested that I took a photo with it as the background:

Soon after that, we left for the jetty. The bus first dropped of some passengers at one of the jetty and followed by us at the Tanjung Gemuk Jetty, which Gemuk actually means FAT in Malay.Laughs.

Out through the windows, on the way to Tioman, I spotted this boat. It just reminded me of SY aka Alvin:

The M'sia Coast Guard/Navy

Finally we were reaching....... 

Reached.... .....

 Nice Corals

Nice view from the jetty

We went to check-in upon reaching the place. After which, we went for some brunch as we were all very hungry.

Ice-Kachang with milo powder

Ramly burger

Initially wanted to try the pattaya rice that Alvin suggested, but couldn't find. So, just go to settle for the burger.

After eating, Juat and Fizah brought me for a trial snorkeling experience at the nearby beach and I put on my bikini for the first time!! I looked not bad in it! But think I'm not going to post them here.

Maybe just the ones with my life jacket on.....

Me, with the gears on

Me, with Fizah

Can you see how hot was the sun?

After the trial session, I became more water confident. Soon, the sun was setting..... 

And it was time for wash-up and dinner... ...

It was a 5 dishes Chinese dinner and let the photos do the talking:

This was us, taken before we consumed our dinner:

Me, with the food!

A nice cup of coffee to end our dinner

The dinner was so full that we decided to take a walk to the jetty... ...

P.S: That's all for day 1 at the moment. Day 2 and 3 will be post up soon. And you can go to my facebook to look at more photos if you are interested.

Wutravel

I've just been asked to add in a ad in my blog!

I feel so honoured to be selected to include the ad from wutravel in my blog although my visitor count is really so low.

Thanks.

Do click on it to see if there is any suitable hotels for you when you decides to go overseas. =)

I did try to see if the search at the website was good enough. Apparently it was not bad.... it serves as a platform which links you to other hotel booking websites and you can make a comparison there and choose the best and cheaper ones. =)

Help me and help yourself! =P

Day 2: Bangkok

12^th December 2008

We went for breakfast in the morning..... then we went to take a look at one of the swimming pools. Apparently, it was only 1.2m..... so shallow for Alvin.....


After that, we went to Si Lom to walk to Chinatown... ...

The railway station

Outside the railway station

And we got lost walking to Chinatown. Well, we just try to walk and walk. Until we don't know where we were and Alvin asked me to choose a road, and surprisingly, it was the right one and there we were:

Chinatown!!!

And we bought some stuff from this famous shop that sells pork floss etc..... I guess equivalent to our Mei Zhen Xiang etc bah.....

Then Alvin asked where I wanted to go after that. I was thinking of going to see the temple of the dawn. So we tried walking... .... and walking.... and we came to a pier. Apparently, we couldn't get a ticket at that pier. We need to buy it from the start, at one of the piers. But I managed to capture some photos at the pier:






Hmm.... Alvin was looking at the map to see where we were:


Then Alvin was saying that the Temple of the Dawn was too far away already. We will take hours for us to get there by foot. Maybe we could go back there any of these days, which I didn't tell him that I wanted to go back, so in the end, we didn't go back also.

Next, we saw this Giant Swing, which is supposingly a tourist attraction. But I don't know why it was called a Giant Swing.


After that, we decided to settle for KFC for lunch as we don't know where were we and we were all hungry.

After that, we went to the Golden Mount, another tourist attraction.

After that, we headed back to our hotel and rest and bathe before we went out for our movie -

The day the earth stood still.

I'm pretty amazed with the cinema theater at Siam Paragon. They were so much better than Singapore's one. Firstly, all the seats are slope downwards that no one will block you from the screen even if they were very tall. Next, the seats armrest can be put up, which made it a good place for couples to watch movies together. The movie was not too bad.

The trailer was as follows:



Anyway, I was very happy that Alvin passed his exams!!! =P


GREAT!! I always know that you can make it!!! =)
