Genting Trip: Park, Shop, Food and Fogs

10:09 29/9/2012 We overcome our first exhilarating cable car ride (link here) and rewarded by a stunning view of Genting Highlands. Pure bliss for nature lovers upon looking lush green forest of Titiwangsa Mountain range. What surprises us wasn’t the green scenery, but the hotel skyscrapers on top of the hill. Mind you it’s not […]

Go KL City Bus are Free

A big chunk of travelling expense usually goes to transportation. It’s a money burner when you took a wrong bus or train going to your destination.

Temporary Abode: Tune Hotels Hatyai, Thailand

14:30 31/8/2012 The scorching heat of mid noon sun was the warmest welcome  greeted us the moment we set foot in Hatyai. The dry weather might be tolerable but our weary  body and frazzle mind was aptly looking of that cold shower to freshen up. Our brain dictated us to hurry up and locate our […]

Hatyai Trip: 15 Hours Journey to Sawadee Land

21:20 30/8/2012 The aversion of weather daunted us and thrilled, reminding our preoccupied brain that a chance of missing the 15-hour train ride is highly possible. We can’t afford to miss it but the slim chance has unlikely grown. Sky was off for the 9-6 routine and we tried catching up to get a cab […]

Genting Trip: Confession of a first time Cable Car passengers

8:50 29/9/2012 The sun had just show up when we arrived at the Gohtong Jaya base station. A remarkable sign  conspiring our first Genting adventure. After seeing the colorful cable cars decelerating to the platform, we felt a sudden  burst of mixed emotion. Excitement, fear, and curiousness. We’re too excited to hop in on our first gondola lift that will […]
