ah… the dallas trip. that’s my maiden visit to the land of opportunity and i’m one hundred percent sure it wouldn’t be my last. i loved almost everything about the place! the people! the stores! the buildings! the tv channels! the weather! and best of all, the food! [...]

hey people, i would be in america from tomorrow onwards. so, no more blogging when i’m there! i probably wouldn’t have any free time for leisure stuff like sightseeing and photo-taking as this is a business trip. damn! i’ve been waiting to say that phrase for ages! it sounds so… grown up.
many thanks to my [...]

last day in bali. i have never felt sadder! this is one trip that i have thoroughly enjoyed. it has turned out way better than i anticipated. over here at contiki resort bali, the people couldn’t be nicer [...]

day 2 starts off with breakfast by the pool.

last day for sightseeing. i had the alarm clock ring at 8am, and i got barely two hours of sleep behind me! made my way to the pier to take a ferry to lantau [...]

i woke up feeling hung over from the previous night, at 1pm! i was utterly shocked when i saw the time on the clock; i was sure it wasn’t working. and then i realised i had a headache. if my phone hadn’t rang, i wouldn’t even have woken up. by then, half the day was [...]
