Mel and I are really looking forward to this one, particularly it’s the last one before our big day in May in KK. The trip will hopefully sort out all the wedding preparations, with some pre-wedding photos taken by Alvin Ting, our pre-nupt inquiry at Sacred Heart plus a night out with...
A Gallivanting Break to Kuching
posted by Gallivanter
Thanks to one Kenny Sia, both Mel and I went to Kuching last weekend to witness the official launch of Kuching’s largest fitness center, Level-Up Fitness. I also took the opportunity to contact a few bloggers, actually just 3 – Cyril, Willie and Seth. I just could not recall the...

posted by Gallivanter
[ad] If you can see me now, I’m grinning from ear to ear that would put the Joker to shame. Wenger’s visit to Malaysia wasn’t publicized much, and thanks to my colleague, who spotted a lilliputian section of the back page of the NST newspaper last week, I called my Arsenal...
Weekend Gallivanting @ KL Bird Park
posted by Gallivanter
[ad] I learned 4 things last Saturday at the KL Bird Park. 1) Parrots can cycle! 2) Storks can fly so bloody high (yup, I didn’t know! Duh!). 3) Eagles are scared of bald people (explained later). 4) My colleague Victor is paranoid about pelicans! Half-way through the bird show, the...

Kota Kinabalu Pine Resort With Mel’s Family
posted by Gallivanter
I reserved us a night at the KK Pine Resort, courtesy of Berjaya. In addition to our one night stay @ Promenade on the day of the SBG08, this place, some 2.5 hours away from KK, was a resort to repress, in terms of facilities. But, the morning view of Mount Kinabalu more than made up for...
Cambodia Gallivanted
posted by Gallivanter
It’s been 3 weeks since my Cambodia trip with Mel. It took me so long to blog about this because I was not overawed with Angkor Wat. Sure, it’s beautiful, but after 4 hours, you hear yourself say, “And then what?”. It’s all temples, temples and temples, perfect...

Langkawi
posted by Gallivanter
Just what I needed, a holiday to cap off my years of service with my company. The dates simply fell into place as I bought my tickets some 2 months ago. I didn’t know that it’ll coincide with my final day with the company. So that was an icing on the cake. I gallivanted to...
