It was a great morning hike to the waterfall, a very simple and peaceful weekend away from the hectic city. We made it to the top for clearer and cleaner water. That fresh crisp morning air made it worth the uneasy hike we had to go through with slippers. & I'm all prepared for that sore I have to bear the next few days so yeah. (P/s: Bukit Tabur is 10x harder lol what a nightmare.) The rocks are extremely slippery and the water was very, very cold too.

Special thanks to Hong for inviting! It's really a nice experience.

Last night, I bid farewell to my closest cousin sister. We had a simple dinner together with the rest of her siblings. I'd prefer to refer her as my sister because she's like my elder sister who will always be there for me whenever I need her. She's also like a close friend because I shared her almost everything about me, even my dirty lil secrets.

We actually don't meet regularly, maybe once in a month or two. I'm never good at words. Another night I broke down in tears when I found out she literally gave up everything she fought so hard here to go pursue her career in Hong Kong(it's just one flight away I know). My feeling has been very complicated ever since. She was here the past 10 years seeing me grow from a teenager to an adult now.

We used to live together, we hit the clubs, we danced shamelessly in front of each others, we made new friends together(we have lots of mutual friends), we went exploring new country, we hang out and make sure we had the best of times. I'm never left forgotten, she would buzz me once a while when she has plans and selflessly invite me to join.



To someone whom I can always count on, someone whom I can trust, someone whom I respect and someone whom I cherish a lot—you’re not just an ordinary cousin but a sister and close friend. Thank you for seeing me the same way I do, thanks for being patient with me, for being supportive and helpful, for all the encouraging words you’ve ever said to me, thanks for motivating me when I’m at one of the lowest point in life and for being just one call away when I needed you. Hope you are all prepared for your new life and challenges. I mean it when I say I want to talk to you on Skype as often as possible.

All the very best to you my dear! Take very good care & I shall see you in less than 6 months! xx

There's something about the deep blue ocean that draws and fascinates me. One spontaneous trip to our Singapore last weekend—just for the USS free tickets. As usual, it's always happy to spend time together with cuzzie's family. It's the wedding last Dec that got us a lot more closer than before, we spent a lot of time past few months making arrangements for the big day, along with CNY gathering back in Ipoh.

I wanted to utilise the limited time I have to meet up with some friends. Once I touched down in the afternoon, I went over to meet up with ex-classmates from college. The last time I saw them was about 5 years ago. So much to talk about yet we have so lil time. It was a great catchup session. After lunch, we walked over to National Design Centre for some architecture exhibition and took some photos there.



Later in the evening, I met up with Juleun whom I haven't meet since 2009 wtf. We had dinner and walked through all the malls in Orchard area. It's kind of funny to think how things have changed. I can't help thinking about the good old times. I miss the group of us being silly but happy. I miss us skipping classes and making fun of teachers. Am I the only one among us who misses the good old days a lot? Gotta blame the cancer traits inside of me.

It's entirely different at Phi Phi Island compared to Ao Nang. You will still see long tail boats lining up by the seashore, but there's another beach on the other side of island where you will find a lot of tourists sunbathing on the beach, swimming in the sea, playing water sports & etc..



I was dumbstruck upon reaching the said beach at night, it's so packed with tourists and the music blasting from one bar to another on the same row, there's also fire show performances along the beach.. We found ourselves a cosy seat to lay back and relax.. As usual I almost fall asleep even with the loud music and bass system because it gets so breezy after! Oh ya, the drinks are dirt cheap too!





Thank God for the perfect weather and blessings throughout the trip, where I got to try things for the first time and came home safe with a better state of mind. Most importantly, I've never felt so pumped up to be back at work. This motivation better keeps going. x

Here comes the end of my longest 5D4N in Krabi.

I totally got lost track of time. Just love how life is so slow-paced over there, or maybe because my subconscious knew that I'm on vacation? Well, the right mindset always matters.

I spent 2 nights in Ao Nang, Krabi and another 2 nights on Phi Phi Island. I've always love Krabi because it's peaceful and safer(at least to me because this is my 5th time there.) & from Krabi, you can take ferry to any islands nearby or even to Phuket. However, year after year, Krabi has become more touristy now with restaurants & cafes selling overpriced foods—but all of their Thai foods are still yums! Nightlife is not so happening here. My favourite place to hang out at night is Longhorn Saloon @ Centerpoint because there's pool table and liveband performance, or you can stroll around the beach with a bottle of juice or beer, just sit on the benches, enjoy the sea breeze and call it a day.

This reminds me so much about 4 years ago. Same destination, same period different year, same old feeling but different companion. A trip I've been looking forward to, a getaway hoping to clear off my mind from all that dumbshits and distractions and just.. staying away from everyone who knows me.

Everything happened during our journey leave me feeling so unbelievable incredible vegetables. I did some of the things I never thought to have enough guts to do. I really went all-out this time(not the party part, though). Most of all, I can't believe how much fun I was having despite having to carry my heavy backpack & camera gears under the scorching hot weather looking for a hotel to stay.

This trip initially got canceled. I'm glad we made it happen.
