i haven't been to Melaka for a very long time. in fact.. i can't remember when was the last time i was in Melaka. So when Nadia invited me to lepak at her place, I couldn't say no :) 18th February Friday afternoon, I called Nadia to ask for directions to her place. Yeah right! As if I can find it on my own! :P She told me to meet her up at the toll exit at around 5:30 pm. So after lunch I

Diving with Mr. Yummy :) (23-28 March 2011)

2011-04-04T10:52:00.000-07:00

before we go further i have to warn you that you might puke after reading some of the things written here. it's a rembes trip.. so don't say i didn't warn you :P ok.. i have to be honest, the reason why I made another trip to Mabul not two weeks after I came back from Mabul was because of a man who we shall call mr. yummy. OMG he's like the hottest guy I've laid my fingers eyes on... in terms of

Mabul: Third time's a charm (6 March 2011 - 10 March 2011)

2011-04-02T12:16:00.000-07:00

First there were twelve. Then there were five. Lucky for me, Big John didn't mind. hehe... we're heading back to Big John. this year we did not do Sipadan. Instead I took the chance to explore one of the islands in Tun Sakaran Marine Park, Sibuan Island. I've heard nothing but great things about the newly opened island, so this year I decided we should give it a visit. The island has been

Bali ... never been written..

2011-03-25T21:33:00.000-07:00

Bali was one of those places that I know I love as soon as my feet touched the ground. It's a beautiful island, the people were nice. I went to Bali a couple of years ago and realized that I never quite wrote anything about my trip. It's been a long time now so I won't bother recreate the events. But one thing that stuck out from the trip was the supir (driver) that Normi and I hired during our

2011-03-20T02:27:00.000-07:00

yes...i did... i went to penang :) then again, the main reason for the trip was to attend a friend's wedding at jerai, kedah. but.. penang is a better place to hang out than aloq staq kan? hehehe :P so i contacted another friend who lives in nibong tebal, who's also invited to the wedding. and i got myself a tourist guide. or so i thought :P so the plan was on. went there five days. we'll

Big & Nasty in Redang.. (15-17 May 2010)

2010-05-25T22:16:00.000-07:00

it's been months.. mm make it years since i last dived in Redang. So when my business partners told me to do a survey at Redang on our latest project, I happily obliged. Despite the fact that I just returned from Mabul not two weeks ago. I then advertised on Facebook so I could cut the cost. Plus.. going to an island is no fun without any girlfriends kan? those beach boys... mm... ;) Jas was

Dive Trip: Lando Repeated (29 April - 3 May 2010)

2010-05-05T08:26:00.000-07:00

(caution: this entry is a very gedik entry. don't say i didn't warn you ok?) 29 April 2010 i didn't get enough of lando so i made another trip to billabong scuba on labor day weekend. plus johnny announced that he was leaving Billabong to manage his own dive center in Puerto Galera. So what's better than a goodbye dive trip? hehe :) view from the diver's lounge.. it was a hush hush trip ..

dangdut diving in mabul with Billabong Scuba (25-30 March 2010)

2010-03-31T05:42:00.000-07:00

it's time for our second annual trip to Mabul... and this time we brought our sugar daddy and toy boys along. haha.. kidding. we missed a few from last trip because 1) comot was pregnant with her first baby, 2) eadie is currently posted overseas. but we had newcomers which made our second trip more or less a horny one. lenn came this year with a mission.. to get her OWD license..finally. haha..

I heart Saigon (4-7 Feb 2010)

2010-02-08T23:15:00.000-08:00

normi and i went to saigon and we had such a great time there. saigon is actually ho chi minh city and it's situated in the southern part of vietnam. it's not in china, it's in vietnam. hehe :) i knew it's gonna be a great trip the minute i saw the pilot and the stewards. haha.. normi and i were seated at the back of the plane. we literally got the last seat on the airplane. as soon as we got to

Makawidey Dive Resort - now known as Lembeh Scuba.

2009-09-15T21:06:00.000-07:00

It truly felt amazing thinking that in matter of hours I would be diving in Lembeh Straits. Just google dive Lembeh, and you’ll find countless websites calling it a critters’ heaven. There are quite a number of dive centers that offer Lembeh dive packages. I decided to try Makawidey Dive Resort, a fairly new dive center right in the heart of Lembeh straits.“Selamat Datang! Welcome!” blurted Nazir

Trip Kasih Sayang to Mabul.. (5th - 10th March 2009)

2009-03-29T20:05:00.000-07:00

i went to dive at mabul/kapalai/sipadan/semporna for 6 days 5 nights with 7 looneys (i swear they must have come from hospital bahagia) with BIG JOHN SCUBA... and it was AMAZING! this trip was named the Kasih Sayang trip for a reason. we had so much love for the place.. and each other.. plus.. i made duyong95 pick me up at putrajaya the day before and i only had kasih sayang to pay her back..but

I went to Redang Island with jon... (7-9 june 2008)

2008-06-10T22:15:00.000-07:00

i just came back to work from a weekend with Comot at Redang Island when my colleagues broke the news.. the company gave us an off record leave to replace the Agung's birthday on Saturday. yeay!!! and so off i went to fill in the forms and thought real hard.. of where to go.. Tioman or Redang.. hmm..... after 2 hours listing down the pros and cons of both islands, i still couldn't choose one, so

Comot's first time in Redang (26-28 April 2008)

2008-04-28T03:02:00.000-07:00

i was on a roll.. as soon as I got back from Bangkok, i took an extended leave to go to Redang. Comot has never been to Redang. Me? a few times too often.. that someone actually thought I have a boyfriend in Redang. no.. i just love the clear blue waters and the white sandy beach in redang. as soon as i reached home (it didn't help that my AA flight from Bangkok was delayed for 4 freaking hours!)

2008-04-25T19:48:00.000-07:00

man.. bangkok can seriously bend u la.. seriously can damage ur bank accounts! but it was a beautiful city, a lot to see and 4d3n is certainly not enough to visit them all.. we arrived really late on the 22nd april (tuesday). reached the hotel at about 7:30 pm (local). the inn saladaeng was really hard to find. we found the hotel on the internet. it's a new hotel. and it's about 3 minutes walk
