Wow… 2012!
(love it, sounds so Jetsons)
Sorry if it took us quite a while to post our year end entry. We were too drunk to touch our computers. LOL
So here is our rundown of the highlights of the year that was.

I know this one came in a bit late, 1 year to be exact. We just found the missing clips somewhere under mounds of rubbish. And as I was watching them one after another (and the fact that I am bored to the bone). I decided to give my new video editor a shot.
Please excuse the voiceover audio as I used the built-in microphone.

When you go to Malacca via interstate bus, you would definitely be hawked by taxi drivers in the terminal offering to take you to your destination in the tune of MYR 14, FLAT RATE!
We crossed the border from Singapore for a short trip out of the big Sin city, it was raining the whole day and the luxury of time routing off the wet road for a cheaper transportation alternative was out of the question (Flip’n Creed # 3 violation). So we opened the nearest and the first cab door …

We woke up that morning on a dreamy mood. Mood brought about by the fact that we were finally reunited after 6 months of separation, longest since we first met each other. Last night’s stint was exhausting as it was glorifying, like an angry make up sex on post annulment reconciliation. I’m talking about beer overload.
We thought of hitting the road to Malacca only for one night. That means the day will just be short and the quickie trip were meant only to escape the ridiculously marked up Singapore sin …

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place.  ~Lance Armstrong
 As I approached Panar Laban, my feet gave in and I fell a few steps before I reached the door.I did not resist the fall. I sat down for minutes thinking it was a well deserved rest. Finally, I picked myself up and dragged my painful body inside the hut to sleep. 45 minutes later, Ron arrived and we started to …

When we arrived teleported from Singapore to KL. We were several hours ahead of schedule. I mean waaaaaay ahead of schedule. We were welcomed with a silent treatment, because it was like 3:30 in the morning. We booked a room at the Equator hostel a week before the trip. It’s the same hostel where we stayed exactly 2 years ago. I like its homey ambiance, unassuming aura, clean facilities and friendly hosts. However, when we arrived, it seemed like everyone’s in deep slumber, we waited outside the gate for an …

This entry makes me frustrated. Yeah, frustrated. First, Ron and I returned to Bukit Bintang from Batu Caves and the blasted heat of the sun-baked my skin five pigmentations higher than my normal. Thana led us into this side street where we had the most amazing lunch. Amazing because it was a south Indian Meal and was NOT all spicy, and I like the fact that it is authentic (we were the only tourists inside. I am at times blind, but I noticed everyone, and I mean everyone, was Indian). …

I generally thought there was nothing other than the Petronas Towers in Malaysia that could quite catch my attention. It was sparkly and all, but when Ron told me there was this huge Hindu statue in the country, I just had to see it. It also helped that it was shiny and golden, and I am a girl and I like them shiny things…
As soon as we finished our hearty breakfast; Ron, Thana and I went on our way to go to the Batu Caves. We walked a long deal …

(Please excuse the photos, we used point and shoot cameras here)
I’ve been to Malaysia twice, first was in march of 2007 as a side trip of my 9 day Singapore stint. I traveled 870 kilometers from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur just to see one thing–the Petronas towers. Who wouldn’t want to see something as majestic as the structure once tagged as the tallest in the world? The world’s spotlights all focused on it when it opened in 1998. KL became popular overnight, a must visit destination among tourists and backpackers …

Backpacking entails a lot of adventure. It’s a very cliché opening and I’m regretting the seconds that pass as I go to the next sentence, but there’s no other way to put it. Going to places, sampling food and immersing ourselves in different cultures have made us rich in terms of experience. Meeting people on the other hand has contributed greatly in our understanding of human diversity and the growth of our souls.
It was 4:00 am in Jalan Imbi and the hostel we placed our reservation in was still closed. …
