You have already seen Main Bazaar, one of the oldest streets in Kuching. Continuing on from Main Bazaar, past the Old Court H…

Mooncakes are my favourite Chinese sweet apart from oni (a concoction of mashed taro/yam with lard and sugar).  They are eaten during the eight lunar month in the lead-up to the Moon Cake Festival (aka Mid-Autumn Festival) ... supposedly secret messages passed in these cakes helped overthrow…

Because of the way Air Asia works it actually saved us like $400 to stay overnight in KL so that we did, plus we thought it would be cool to see the towers, and it was.  I don't have a lot to say about it because weren't there for long enough but I HIGHLY recommend the Trader's Hotel.  It…

Not many people knowing this beach, located on the other end of Morib beach. Great place for camping! Beware of the naughty monkeys.

The weather has gone crazy lately. The temperature is getting higher n higher. The only place to escape this humid n hot weather, Cameron Highlands.

Air Asia may be cheap, but they're service is pretty shocking. My first two flights with Air Asia was Phnom Penh - Kuala Lumpur, then Kuala Lumpur to Penang. The first flight was delayed for 15 minutes, no biggie but my second flight ended up being delayed for 2 hours! I didn't arrive in Penan…
