Rent a flea market stall and sell my 3 bags of wool…
View PostTraveling has always been my first love. One of my dreams is to set foot in all 195 countries (if you consider Taiwan as an independent country) at least once in my lifetime. I strongly believe that experience can only be gained but not told. Reading books, magazines or watching documentaries will never come anywhere close to experiencing it personally. So don’t bother telling me that China, Russia and Mongolia are all neighbours. I really won’t remember it. And don’t…
View PostHello guys, I am back from my trip! I can’t wait to share about my trip but first I need rest. I arrived back in Singapore at 2am on Monday and had to work at 9am. I still need more sleep to recover! :/ Anyway, here’s a little entry about my short day #1 in Hanoi. I hate Tiger Airways. Their prices change everyday, their seats suck, their air stewardesses suck, the additional charges on baggage check in are quite…
View PostTraveling DIY style requires a lot of decision making. Hell, it requires more research than a final year project! I guess life in general does requires a lot of decision making as well, but at home a lot of your daily decisions are already made. You have to wake up at a certain time, showering is pretty much required, you pretty much know what the weather is like so you can dress appropriately, you eat whatever is handy, have a…
View PostI was thinking of going KL next week. I have a week between jobs. Yes, I am changing job! :) I’m mighty excited about my new company. I will be dealing with the online medium as a platform for advertising. How exciting is that!!!? Anyway, I considered my options among flying as a mode of transport. The cheapest is the airline I hate the most – Tiger Airways. $27.50 nett 1 way. I have something on in the morning of the…

View PostHere were some of the many cruises we considered going with. Prices are as published on the site but you should email them to see if its still valid and if you book more tours with them they may also give you a better price. My budget I was looking for is USD80-USD100 for a 3D2N Halong Bay-Catba Island Cruise. The similarities across each of the below are as follows: – 1 night in Holiday View Resort (Catba Island)– 1…
View PostAhoy! Hanoi! I am coming! 01 March to 08 March 2009 – 8D7N It was initially a customised (by me) private group tour but after my dear friends (you know who you are!!) all put me aeroplane leaving me with less than ideal number of people travelling together, it is going to be a free & easy tour. Hanoi, Vietnam’s most interesting city, has a grand total of like 1 million and counting number of travel agents along with their…
