  • Oh hai, Malaysia!

    So many things to write about, but I’m too pooped and I have to be up in less than 8 hours so here’s a short post in bullet points: Laksa!

  • Travel Expenses: Malaysia

    Unlike previous post-trip accounting posts, I’ve consolidated all legs of my Malaysian trip into one spreadsheet. Admittedly, I started getting lazy listing down every expense (which is going to be hell when I start working on the Singapore leg). For a six-day trip, it still came down to a pretty decent amount, specially since I…

  • Day 24: The White Butterfly

    Half the bus was in the ditch, and the other was up in the air. Lucky for is, it was the rear that was in the ditch. All around me, people were crying and talking, and I was just sitting there, clutching the seat in front of me, thinking about what just happened.

  • Day 23: Leaving Paradise

    I slept pretty well in my room, but I felt rather down when I woke up. There were just too many things going through my head. I got up to go to the beach, sat under the shade and watched the waves lapping gently on the shore. Beach must haves: a sarong, happy music, a…

  • Day 22: Finding Paradise

    I woke up early once more, since I need to catch that 7:30 ferry from Kuala Besut to the Perhentians. My window overlooks the Watercolours office in Kuala Besut, and I was pleased to see that they were already open at 7 in the morning. I packed up my bags once more and headed down…

  • Day 21: Long long way to go…

    I’ve no idea how to write this entry. This day was a mixture of highs and lows, with the low being my current accommodation. I arrived in Kuala Besut past 6pm, missing the last ferry out to the islands. I’ve no choice but to stay overnight in the town, and I went and booked the…

  • Day 20: Adventures with GPS and Penang’s ever changing one-way streets

    I slept late, yet again, but this time it wasn’t because of Voice. Ferdz told me that I’m using up a lot of CPU resources for the site so I upgraded Justwandering to WordPress 2.8. I also upgraded the plugins, but in the middle of it all, one of the plugins borked my site. I…

  • Day 19: Finally stepping foot in Penang

    Shortly after writing day 18’s entry, I shut down my laptop and settled down to read. I bought L’femme Adventure by Jessica Maxwell, a travel book that has been in my book case for nearly a year, but never gotten around to reading it. I figured now’s a great time to read about the adventures…
