Haven been updating my blog regularly since I finished my IA, since most of the time i spend blogging is during office hours on IA.
Anyway, a quick update on wat has happened in my life in the last few weeks
Went to KL on 18 n 19 June with Dad, Mum n shan. Pa n Ma were going there for some health talk (sounds like MLM to me, din bother to find out more) and I made it clear to Dad that I won't be joining him for the talk, so it was shopping n sight seeing for me n shan.
It was on this trip when I realised that sometimes its better to handle your holidays yourself or someone whom u know u can rely on. There was huge timing problems with Dad and his frens. We arrived 2 hours early for our departure bus trip, and arrived another 3 hours early for our return bus trip. All thanks to Dad not getting the proper timing with his frens who organised this trip. I had to waste another 2 hours running around KL just to accomodate to Dad's request.
Otherwise, the trip was pretty fun.
Lessons learnt from KL trip:
- Always do your homework on your destination before you go there. It really HELPS a lot.
- Never let people who dunno a shit about travelling and scheduling to liase for your transport, they will just simply burn your precious time in huge quantities, and they still think they are always correct!
- Never travel along with people who dun have the same mentality on travel as you. Unconsensus during travel is simply a waste of time and
spoils your mood. (those tai-tais really can drive you nuts)
Just came back from Redang a couple of days back. It was pretty ok too. Shan did the searching and booking of the resorts, as well as for the bus transport as well. We saved probably around SGD60 this way. Stayed at 'Redang Bay Resort', which was pretty good, compared to the Pelangi Resort we had stayed at 2 years back. Redang is still as great, just that it is sad to see those needless pollution going on, and the effects of global warming which raised the sea levels. The coastline have receded quite a bit since my last visit. The dives were pretty good. Finally got to see a sea turtle after so many dives!
