I think I have a new favourite spot in Atauro Island ❤️ Or maybe that spot favours me? 😀 One can be wishful and fantasize! Recall my previous post, in which I wrote about my baby whaleshark encounter on the last day of 2016, and how this occurred on our house reef. Well, exactly two weeks … Continue reading
I had a momentary lapse towards selfishness yesterday, and the Ocean wasted no time in whacking me back into humility and appreciation. We were out on a snorkel & dive day trip to Atauro Island, and I was excited. It was the final day of the year, and I had one dive student to finish off … Continue reading
Raj had arranged for a driver and a local guide to take us around Kathmandu, so after breakfast we jumped into the car and went on our way to tour some famous sites within the valley. I say valley, and not city, because I learnt today that what everyone refers to as “Kathmandu” is actually … Continue reading
I know it’s been over a month since I returned home from Nepal, my apologies for the delay but lo and behold I’m finally getting around to putting these posts up! Thing is, upon returning home I discovered that my laptop (which I didn’t bring along with me on my travels) had decided to go … Continue reading
They say one should never prematurely reveal the ending of a story, lest your readers lose interest and not read your writings that lead up to said ending. Nevertheless, it will take me a while to get all of my experiences and stories from the last 15 days of trekking properly compiled, written, and edited … Continue reading
Back-dated post #2 Tuesday, 30 Oct 2012, 22:18hrs (Nepal time) Namaste! It’s been a nice long day and I’m just about ready for bed. However I am still feeling a tad full from our dinner (at a Thai restaurant we found along the alleys of Thamel near our hotel), so I figured I’ll sit up … Continue reading
Okay, as promised here’s my back-dated post #1. I’ll put a date and time stamp on all my posts which I draft offline whilst I’m trekking, as we don’t always have internet connection 🙂 Tuesday, 30 Oct 2012, 13:56hrs (Malaysia time) I’m writing this as I am cruising along some 9,000-10,000 metres above sea level, … Continue reading
Namaste! (“Greetings” or “blessings upon you” in Nepali) I am in Nepal! Barely did I have time to update on Pulau Weh, and now I’m on another trip again. Was home for only 2 days after the diving trip, which gave me just enough time to unpack my island-life clothes, and then start over with packing … Continue reading
I am horrible!! After all that talk about not wanting to be half-assed with my blog-writing, I have managed to shamefully leave my blog untouched for 7 months – almost exactly to the day!!! WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?! *hangs head in shame* …… *lifts up head and is engulfed in virtual cobwebs* Oh dear. Where … Continue reading
I was catching up with some messages that my friends sent me over the past couple of days, and one of the conversations brought my memory back to almost a year ago when I took part in the Angkor Wat International Half Marathon 2010. The Angkor Wat International Half Marathon (AWIHM) is an annual national event … Continue reading
