And it's HONG KONG AGAIN!! haha.. 2014!!

This would be my 5th Trip! and it seems like i'm visiting HK every 2 years! LAst trip was in 2012, and the previous, 2010..haha.. I think I have covered all the major tourist spots! But why HK again? WEll.. it's a family trip, or more precisely, it's my brother's preferred destination. Kind of an encouragement for him to finish his BMT spell!

Anyway, after knowing he has an off period in Jan 2014, we decided on HK, and got the air tickets. SQ having a promo, and it's only $331 per pax all in price, which is super cheap! Got the tickets, and now, thinking of where to visit this time round, and to decide on the hotels. Hotels in HK is really expensive. Friend suggested apartments, which i'm seriusly considering. Perhaps, it would make the trip a little different from the usual by staying at these real apartments, hk style!

Looking at a few vacation rentals recommended by trip advisors, and they seems great, and cheap.. can get a reasonable 2 bedroom unit with living room and kitchen at only around SG$150 or even less! seems like a good deal. got to study more though..to decide this time round, where we are going to stay.. HK isle or Kowloon area!

Hmm... where to go?? Lamma Isle, Cheng Chau, Sai Kung, .... ?? hmmm.....

Next Trip : Korea! 2013

Finally! After talking about it for YEARS, i'm finally going to Korea! SOmehow Korea seems to be a place where many people have gone, but I'm just not one of them. Few years back, realise that one of my friend(ex-coll) also had not been to Korea and wanted to go, and we decided, let's do this trip together!

Things happened, and it's only 2-3 years later, we finally , finally had the chance to take this trip together. Was considering F&E or Package. After much consideration, we finally decided to do it via tour package. Afterall, money aside, it's our first time travelling together, and perhaps, from this trip we can understand each other better, and well, our next trip then be a F&E Trip.

Going via Hong Thai, which is suppose to be good for Korea trip. It will be an autumn trip, a 8 day trip to Jeju and Seoul, and well also covering the theme parks! Looking forward!! :)

Forgotten Blog of 2012

Oopps. i totally forgotten about this travel blog of mine again!! haha
Anyway, in terms of travelling, it's been an interesting year for me last year! besides the usual Malaysia, went HK with my family in APril and then to Hanoi/Halong bay in July and ended off spectaculary with a visit to INDIA!!!

I never imagine that one day i would visit India ever! I must admit i'm not the very adventurous kind of person, and though i do wanted to visit the "exoctic" countries, i'm pretty apprehensive about those places. Being brought up in a very safe singapore, with everything at our fingertips, we are very spoilt and this kind of made me more apprehensive of certain countries. ANyway, after attending serveral dharma classes, my mum and I somehow were on the same wavelength and the thought of doing a Buddhist Primilage appealed to us. And we did went! Visited the 4 major sites of Buddha's birth place, enlightened place, place of his first sermon and the place where he passed on to nirvana. It's really an eye opener trip filled with lot's of unexpected happenings, and it did make me appreciate our governemnt and the the safety we have more. Not to take so much for granted.

It's really a memorable trip, and if given the chance i would want to make the trip again!

July was a visit to Vietnam. My 2nd trip to the country but my very first to halong bay and hanoi! Halong Bay is really a sight to behold. Beautiful scenery every single moment. Stayed aboard the junk for a night, and got the luxury treatment! LOved every single minute of it! and at Hanoi, we stayed 2 nights at the most luxury hotel -Sofitel in town (thanks to my accord membership). it's amazing. but even when we shifted to another boutique hotel (which is much cheaper) the services and rooms were great! really value for money.

Well more or less completed my 2012 updates. hopefully for 2013, i will be more updated with the details of my travels memoris!! hahaha
