Going Places...

A 'Sweet November' even more sweeter for me!! from ma birthday 7-Eleven to another 'Sweetest November' to come soon. For fellow muslims Awal Muharam is just round the corner while for fellow Roman Catholic Advent is coming up in 2 weeks time, and oh ya!! not to forget cute blogger gathering in the lines up too and soon after that Christmas is approaching yeahhhhhhhhhh.....then A New Year to celebrate. 

A year of a Rabbit soon to an end!! and for ya'll to know am a year of a Rabbit!! This year has been  a  nice year for me from the start even though last August am involved with a car accident  but  there is still a blessing attached. God is good all the time and he listened ma prayer and grant me a wish which is one of ma resolution list in 2011 and of cos a year2 before!! Thank you lord for granting it and am grateful for the blessing!!

One of ma wish was going traveling to be honest. I've been longing to travel a very very long time but because of tight $$$ to other few commitments its hard for me to work out a plan on it. Traveling is one of the things i like to do the most. There is this feeling that you couldn't describe whenever you go to travel, I don't know about other people but i feel freedom!! I like to see people the other side of the world that i never been. I love to see and experience how they live, how their everyday life, culture, food, places... yeah you know every details of it to observe and somehow you  realized how much you learn something from it and  sometimes you can relate with your everyday life and cud say how grateful you are for what you have and live in..  besides going for shopping..shopping...shopping...hehehe....

The ugly truth about ma chronology of traveling is there's a lot of places that i wish to go. If can once a year go traveling tapi apa kan daya!!. That's why i love TLC channel so much because i can't go but i still can watch hahaha...but you know its different if you have a chance to be there and just watch at TV. By the way, back to chronology of ma traveling (promise don't laugh at me k) the truth is i only been to KL once!! in ma whole life long time ago can't remember when, i think before year 2000.  The most memorable traveling i ever went outside of Malaysia for the very 1st time in ma whole life is in  year 2005 to Bangkok, Thailand together with ma good friend Angeline and few more friends. And this Thailand trip is the one made my eyes open and eager and fond to travel more and more outside of Malaysia but am not in the position to do so!! Back in 2009 i went to Sarawak for the very 1st time with another 2 friends by road trip which our journey consist travel to Brunei, Miri, Sri Aman (for the tidal bore festival), Kuching (for the Rainforest festival), Sibu and Bintulu!! Then that's it a long rest!! hehehehe even my heart scream out loud to travel but i have to bury it. I  just know the time will come but don't know when!!

Then year 2011 approaching, a year of a rabbit...and this particular year have been nice to me!! Haleluyah!!! Blessing from up above after a long wait and for ya'll info its an extra effort to make all this happens. Once ma car installment came to an end for 7years i started ma traveling fund. I have to sacrifice ma shopping habit, less eat outside instead bring 'tapau' from home everyday to work, if i must buy i buy something what i really need not what i want!! and a few things to sacrifice but its worth to do it and in the end its all paid off. One book has help me to VISUALIZE what i want and ACHIEVE ma GOAL!!

Opening year 2011, 7th - 9th Jan 2011 ma 2nd trip to Kuching, Sarawak since 2009 for a friend wedding and a short break. What a bliss!! even within Malaysia. We are lucky to have nice friends in Kuching who willingly to bring and accompany us jalan2 while our stay. Am not going to story about ma break here cos a lot to story if i want too so just take a peek of the pic saja lah kio....We spent 3D2N at Kuching for the wedding at church, wedding reception at the Hotel, taking a brisk walk at Kuching waterfront, hunt for food at Hui Sing and a few food places that famous among the locals and  to some attractions for sight seeing and of cos a little bit of shopping hehehehe....

Venturing Serikin : )

One of the attraction is Serikin. If one day any of you visit Kuching make sure put Serikin on your visit list okey, For ya'll info Serikin is a small village located near border of Sarawak & Indonesia (Kalimantan).  Its 80km away from Kuching city about 1½ drive if am not mistaken. This place famous for their week-end market to local tourist from Malaya and Sarawak. Numerous items ranging from Batik, Indonesian sarong, Curtains, Handbags, Shoes, Handicrafts, Fish, Birds, Turtle eggs, Herbal products & Jamu, Exotic meat  and you name it all macam2 ada and the price make sure you bargain a good price for your choices of item. Its cheap and most of its selling items came from Indon!! and if you are too tired walking at the long stretch market you too can enjoy services such as reflexology or traditional massage. Oh! and one more thing,  if you plan to visit Serikin don't over make-up or wearing something thick i tell you its a damn hot place when it almost reach noon cos of its proximity to the Equator!! Santut pun buli basah woh!!

I thought after Sarawak i have to wait long but no, 2th - 7th April 2011 another good news came up. I have another group of bff's approaching me for a trip. Me, Pame, Cora & Rona we are schoolmate, classmate till we 3 further study at that time was called ITM and now Uitm, except for Rona she's the one venture to working world before us while us still studying back then and we still in contact until today. Actually before this i ever voice out to them how i wish we 4 can go travel together but none of its happening cause you know Cora & Pame is already married not easy to plan time while me & Rona still single. But this year, its happening!! And this is what i am waiting for travel outside of Malaysia and with ma best friend and with Pame's part of family and Cora's  hubby too. Thank you once again lord!! A trip to Jakarta-Bandung for 6D5N and the best part we got to celebrate Pame's birthday in Jakarta. What a life, love, fun & laughter we had!! It was indeed a joyous moment for all of us!!
