I must be crazy liao

Today is a busy day for me, I bought 3 types of ticket.
1.  Aeroline bus ticket from Penang to Kuala Lumpur 1 June 2011
2.  Kenya Airways ticket from Kuala Lumpur to Nairobi from 26 November 2011 to 14 December 2011
3.  Air Asia ticket from Kuala Lumpur to Bali from 2 June 2012 to 8 June 2012.
Am I crazy?  I bought 1 year later air ticket, all my holidays are fully utilize.  Today I keep on checking the internet to get all these ticket and luckily Ching is free in the afternoon and manage to grab a lowest price ticket to Bali.  Although is not 10 cents ( I don't believe Air Asia have 10 cents ticket to other country), we still work hard to get that ticket.  The joy for snatching the ticket is unbelievable.

To me the most happy moment for grabbing cheap air ticket was last year 22 February 2010 midnight, we bought Malaysian Airline ticket from Kuala Lumpur to Buenos Aires for only RM 4313, cheaper than normal RM 2600 per person, save us lots of money.

Its fun to grab cheap ticket, hope that all the airline will do this annually.

Sipadan, I am coming

  This photo I took in Mataking Kecil on 16 June 2010

In 2 weeks time, I will go to Semporna and surrounding island to visit my friend-Turtle and have my favourite seafood in Thien Wang Seafood Restaurant. This will be my 4th time to Sabah.  I love Penang,  I love Sabah too especially the beautiful Celebes Sea. Hope that all my Celebes Sea friends (turtle, fish and corals) still remember me.

My first blog


King Penguin at St Andrew Bay, South Georgia at 29 November 2010

Antarctica is a paradise.  I want to make a blog long time ago, I keep on giving excuses too busy.  When I saw my fellow friends in Ocean Nova blog, I told myself, it is time to share my travel experience.
