Whirlwind adventure

So... 16 days of whirlwind adventure just went by like that. Enjoyed myself thoroughly.... didnt think i would survive the trip, esp since i almost died of exhaustion in Taiwan. But truth be told, this is one of the best trips EVER.

I've conquered world wonders in the wee hours of the morning, having the whole Angkor Wat to the 3 of us....

discovering soon-to-be world wonders in Vietnam @ Ha Long Bay...

seen amazing sights in Indonesia... geographical features that would make nature lovers hyperventilate

volcanoes...
headland and bays...

gorgeous sunsets....
hot springs....

and alien looking trees...

visited killing fields in Cambodia....

crawled through claustrophic tunnels at Cu Chi in Ho Chi Minh

visited National Monuments...

and even circled round one 3 times for no apparent reason. ... seriously testing my patience.

dined in style at Jimbaran... best dinner ever, with crashing waves, spectacular fireworks in the distance and what else.... Bintang beer...

and somewhere in the mountain, overlooking the city of Bandung...

enjoying the simple life on top a junk boat...
watch kids in Siem Reap having fun with with own version of the amusement park...
and take the most primitive of transport...

did things i never thought i had the guts to do...

and even surfing!! That's like totally AWESOME dude....

and a very relaxing day at the hot springs..

ate like we've never eaten before...

PS: we did really eat crickets... wasnt as bad as i thot, but dun think i will ever do it again..

Oon curry... "hao chi ma?" hahaha (private joke)


and tasty roadside food... ahhh martabak manis. how i've missed you so...

But more importantly,

its the people who were on this trip...

that made it so memorable,

so fun, so crazy.... so... aye. choked up.

getting to know old frens...

Dismas u crazy shit.... seriously. i love u to death

and making new ones in a foreign land...

Thanks guys, I really had tonnes of fun. seriously.... no regrets. I would do it again in a heartbeat if i had to.

Back for good

So, after a whirlwind 16 day holiday to Bali, Jarkata, Bandung, Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, i am finally back. Tired, shagged out but immensely happy. There were times where i almost lost it and times where i really did lose it.... with all the darn waiting and getting trapped in small vehicles.... but it was all worth it. Thanks to you, my dear frens! Photos to come in a couple of days i hope.

And i finally got a job as (horror of horrors) an engineer. Damn exciting. Not. Starting work on 1st July.
