Life in krabi
Life in krabi has been great but tiring. The days are always packed And the islands are so beautiful. The shoot had been tiring. 2 full days of early mornings for make up and travelling and changing on the move. Had my virgin try on horse riding, went to the national park for waterfall, rubber plantations to feed mosquitoes, some caves and deserted hut where i had ants crawling all over. Also spent some time like idiots running, jumping around and getting wet and dirty while soaking in the sunset. On the second day, we went island hopping and I caught a fish for my pictures. Actually I caught about…

20 days after my vacation, i have ONE conclusion. the postcards that i posted from cape point = lost. been waiting for them to show up for the longest time, and they didn’t. *sigh* it must have been the stamps. or maybe its that red box that didnt say “postbox”. Grr.. am upset. very upset.

[26 Sep 2009] Day 1 in South Africa.
This had to be one of the most tiring day of my life. Having worked a full day at work, heading to the airport at 11pm and jetting off at 2am in the morning, 10 hours of flight time, and I started my day at 7am on a Saturday morning in South Africa. My day didn’t end till 1am (SA time) or 7am (Singapore time – Sunday). My first impression? This place looks pretty much like the U.S, say 10 years ago? I landed with my uncle and we pretty much took our own sweet time exploring the airport, getting a prepaid phone line and data packs, and hunted around…

The journey to Africa
11 days, 6 flights, 5 different airports and 8 passport stamps later, here I am back in Singapore. and gone through a long day at that. touched down this morning at about 5.30am, did some duty free shopping and headed home at 6+. Unpacked, bathed and headed for work. so imagine surviving the past 36hrs with just less than 2 hours sleep on board the plane. Here’s the rough gist of where I went: Singapore > Johannesburg > land transfer to Nelsprit/Kruger National Park > Johannesburg > Zimbabwe > land transfer to Zambia > Johannesburg > Cape Town > Singapore quite a bit of travelling for a 11 days trip…

sleepy..
the sun just set at where i am, but it’s way past midnight now in singapore. had a tiring and adventurous day, but would love more of such stuff if i had the moolah and the luxury of time. holidaying sure makes time pass really fast. it’s like… what?! i have been away for 8 days already? where did all that time slip to? i know i should be soaking up more in the sunset, the waterfalls, enjoying the hotel room, snuggling myself up in the comfortable beds or out ‘hunting’ the animals and take more pictures. instead, here i sit in front of the terminal and read up on…

sitting around in the sun
the sun is finally out. have been experiencing many days of cold weather which is a tad unusual at this time of the year. oh wells. not complaining since all i have packed in my bags are shorts, slippers, tank tops and bikinis. i wanted to go for the white river rafting, but am not game to do it alone with a whole bunch of strangers. decided to go for the jet setting instead so that my uncles can join me. aunt and uncle just had shoulder surgery and is really not up to the rafting activity. contemplating on the helicopter ride, but uncle think it’s too expensive. so here…

day 3, melbourne trip
day 3 was a touristy day. aunt and me joined tours for the entire day, since it was the only day that we could join the tours. at 7am in the morning, we started out day waiting out in the hotel lobby for the bus to pick up us. We had melbourne city tour in the morning, and philip island tours in the afternoon. The melbourne city tour was the one i sorta regretted doing, because it meant that i won’t have any shopping time left for the trip. and guess what?! i bumped into fiona on swanston street! all the while, i was trying to meet her for dinner…

melbourne trip, day 2
i finally am sitting myself down and disciplining myself to blog about the melbourne before it doesn’t happen at all, like what happened to HK & macau earlier this year. i think too much travelling is resulting in my lack of enthusiasm. hee. day 2 in melbourne was relatively simple. i waited for my aunt to arrive at the hotel around noon, so i stayed in the hotel surfing the net. lunch was at the famous lygon street. so many people told me to go dine there! on the way walking to lygon, i was busy soaking in the sights of melbourne city. that’s my school (RMIT) with campuses all…
