To begin the new year of 2010, we headed to Bukit Tinggi, Malaysia, where we’re looking for something different. Well, it’s not the 1st time we were there, but my wife just love the beef steak there, so we decided to have a quick vacation to Colmar Tropicale. Well, it’s just an hour drive from Shah Alam, so should not be a problem.
Being in the plane almost 70% of my time, this song always thump into my ears, and I’ve to admit it, it’s one of the best song ever created to promote Malaysia as a tourist destination. Love the voice of the singer too..
Congrats to her for creatively composed such a lovely song!

Well, just came back from Bali, again, on company trip. Mmm…Bali, a place most people wish to be, at least once. I have to agree, it is a place to be, as there’re so many thing to see, too many things to do… (sound like a TV commercial…hehe..)
It’s actually mainly for our customer to get together, discussing among themselves about issues and updating themselves, while having fun! Of course, we have to know how to get ourselves around…! I had a chance to just relax myself, strolling down the beach and watch a ‘Kecak Dance’ (fire dance), among things you should see if you come to Bali! It’s also a great place to take photos, watching the sunrise and sunset by the beach… Not to mentioned the hospitality of the Balinese people!
I’m here in Kota Kinabalu now, on vacation, together with my wife and kid. A part of it is basically I want to visit my in laws, who is Sabahan himself. His wife is goin to deliver a baby anytime now, so if we are lucky, we’ll be around when the baby come into the world… 
As usual, here’s the pics from the visit! Pics from Kota Kinabalu 20-25 Dec 2008
The following is the military’s quick survival reference when soldiers find themselves behind enemy lines. But these same skills are highly relevant for civilian survival in the wilderness.
The team travelling light, bringing only the essentials (swim gear, F/A,ammo, Echo-echo kit, and first aid kit for the down teammate) in order not to compromise the ability to move and react swiftly
This is the videos of my 1st experience shooting the AK47 and M16 with live ammunition, when I was in Saigon, Vietnam in Nov 2008. Sadly the videos was a short one as most pics were captured on a camera. Nevertheless it was an awesome experience and I will definitely do it again if I have a chance!
Here’s the complete pics of my adventure in Saigon, Vietnam. (Note: It will be VERY slow the 1st time you view it, but it will be perfectly fast after a while, as Windows save the cache in, even after you open it many weeks later…You might require ‘flashplayer’ to play this, which you can download from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=DXLUJ)
I’m back in Vietnam, this time on business trip for a few days. It’s been a year since the last time I was here, where we climbed the Fansipan Mountain. More, I’m here in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh city), not in Hanoi as before, which looks to me a lot different and ‘modern’ as compared to the capital city of Hanoi. Well, this probably due to ‘foreign influence’ particularly American and French, who has been in many years invading NAM politically until the vietnam war ended in 1976.
Vietnam had also progressively improve themselves economically, due to the fact that they have changed their economic policy towards capitalism, even the country are still being ruled by one single communist party. Seems that this concept has been well accepted by the citizens based on my own discussion with few of them, due to the fact that those who work harder will gain more… My personal worry is that this also means that those who are not fast enough, will be left behind as shown in many countries who has the same economic policy…there’s always pro and con I would say….
Hi,
Again, I’m back in Manila, one of my favorite city. This time it’s just a short trip and will have a meeting with few customers before goin’ back home. Nothing fancy to talk about, just a few meeting and at the point of writing this, I haven’t been to anywhere yet. Probably I will walk around and look for something interesting later, well, AIRSOFT! of course…
This time I’m staying in Peninsula Hotel, Manila, one of the premier hotel here in Manila. It is located on the corner of Ayala Avenue and Makati Avenue in in the central business district of Makati City, in Metro Manila. It is located also in Barangay Urdaneta. This hotel is part of The Peninsula Hotels chain based in Hong Kong and is the first hotel of that chain outside of the Chinese territory. The Peninsula asserted itself as the “Jewel in the Capital’s Crown”.
Jalbum is considered as one of the best album viewer tool available and I love it so much. it’s free and unbelievably awesome! Now we have more n more volunteer expert who continusly comeup with brilliant skin choices, this is getting more and more fun!
Just look at what’s I’ve compiled for the recent Kelantan trips I had…My Kelantan Trip May 2008
I’m back in Jakarta for a week, as it’s been quite some times since the last time I was here. Nothing much changes though, except that now I’ve changes the hotel, this time to Hotel Mulia, located in Senayan area, known as a prominent business centre.. Nice hotel though as I guess it’s rated as a 5 star.. The only drawback is maybe the choice of eating places is not a walking distance like Mahakam, as you need to take a cab to get to e.g. Senayan City for a nice dinner. Overall it’s a nice place to stay, and offer a lot of entertainments for those who are seeking for one..
More of what happens the whole, later…
I was back in Manila after 2 years. Well, it feel good to be back, esp when the 1st 2 trips I had before was a short one, not much time to move around. Not this time, I had slotted a few short visit and with a friend who company me, it was fun!
A bit about Manila:
The City of Manila (Filipino: Lungsod ng Maynila), or simply Manila, is the capital of the Philippines and one of the cities that make up the greater metropolitan area of Metro Manila. Manila is the center of government in the country and one of the central hubs of a thriving metropolitan area home to over 14 million people. It is located on the shores of Manila Bay just west of the geographical center of Metro Manila, also known as the National Capital Region (NCR), which lies on an isthmus between Manila Bay and Laguna de Bay in southern Luzon. The city is one of 17 cities and municipalities which form the metropolitan area.
Again, I’m back in Tokyo. This probably the last trip I make for 2007 and it’s colder in Tokyo now, approx 6C during the day. It’s a short trip, lasting for 3 days only. I’m planning to go back to my favorite place, but only when the time permits, of course.
here’re the photos taken during this trip! Japan Trip
Hi there,
Sorry for not updating the blog for quite sometimes. Well, I’ve been away for a seminar in Cairns, to be precise, Port Douglas. It was my first time there, so everything is pretty new to me.
I always start my story of the place I went with some background information, as to ensure that I added an info to my own knowledge everytime I went to some places, so here it is…
About Port Douglas Australia
The charming village of Port Douglas is located 60km north of Cairns International Airport, in Tropical North Queensland Australia. The drive north from Cairns on the Captain Cook Highway has fantastic coastal scenery.
Hi,
I’m back in Jakarta, a metropolitan city, after quite a while.. The last time I was here was 9 months ago. Honestly, I love to be back here, probably because the journey just take 2 hours from KLIA to Sukarno-Hatta airport. I had a smooth entering process yesterday, well, unlike the previous trip where I had a small hiccups. Another reason is, it does feel at home, as Malaysian and Indonesion are alike, well, as a matter a fact, most Malaysians were from Indonesia anyway, so we are like brothers… 
This time I’m with friends, so it’s more fun. We had dinner together, more about that later…
Here’s something about Indonesia…
Visitors,
Here’s another shop I went when I was in Yokohama. It’s small shop, but it’s one of the best! I meant, the amount of collection it have there is unbelieveable!
Just look here and see for yourself!!!!
