People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Julia (Russia) A couple of hours into our overnight bus journey from Semporna to Kota Kinabalu, it became obvious that our clapped out bus was not going to make it the distance. After breaking down several times, it eventually gave u…

Monday morning I was up bright and early! It was my first stay at a hostel and knowing that we all had to share two showers; I decided to get mine while everyone still slumbered. There wasn’t a lot of privacy because the room where you had to unclothe and cloth was open to a building next to us, …

I arrived back in KL early sat morning. My friend JD has missed me so much that he came all the way to the airport and waited for me. I woke up at about midday on saturday and wandered over the rd to the bars where i knew i would find my friend Paul and his housemate.We sat in "The green man" for …

I woke up early today because I wanted to be at the Marine Park and begin snorkeling before the sun rises to its scorching heat temperature. I took a quick breakfast, wrapped 2 slices of white bread, stuffed it in my backpack and walked northwards from Gaya Street to the Jesselton Point Ferry Termi…

After a quick 2 hours of sleep, I was awake before my alarm was to go off at 4:30am. By 4:45 I was in a cab and made it to the airport just under two hours before we were due to depart. I wanted to give myself lots of time since Air Asia seems to have pretty strict cut off times for when you're all…

This was a first time for us to go to Langkawi Island by car. Langkawi is an archipelago of islands way up in the north of Malaysia and shares the same vegetation and mountain range as Southern Thailand. On previous trips we had flown, but this time decided to drive the 6 hour journey up becau…

A day for well-deserved retail theraphy at my fave mall, Pavilion KL with my new good friend, bonded over TB - Danila.After shopping we had another well-deserved treat - a bottle of rose wine with tapas at La Bodega, and we were tipsy on Sunday night!Best part was that we got everything on discount…

Here we go! Well my friends, like i told you before. It was 13 years ago I went to Malaysia. Each year I hoped to return, but somehow it was postponed every time. Before my father died, I still wanted to go with him. But it never happend...unfortunately my prayers have never been&nb…

If I could have done last night over I think I would have ended the night slightly different. I didn’t bother setting my alarm on my Ipod cus the hostel had given us an alarm to use so that we didn’t miss our bus at 9am, what a mistake that was. We didn’t wake up till just after 9am so we unf…

“Okay Langkawi!”  Time for a shift of gear.  Ah, but first we need some gears to hand before we can start to shift ‘em!  Langkawi has plenty on offer to see ladies and gents.  It’s possible to escape the tourist mundanities of Cenang beach, “oh yes!”, but you’re go…

It’s (still) a brand new year. A time when a new, infamous list of resolutions come out from under the pile of junk in your desk drawer or written in a  journal to new optimism. The list may be a new one. For some, familiar items from last year (or the years before that) creep in to this ye…

So yet another time I turned around in my own footsteps, as I discovered that i had passed a place on my road which was worth visiting. My plan was to go fro Georgetown and down south to some small island on the west coast(staying away from the east coast where the monsoon is...that sucks..).Then I…
