lone traveller









I went to Kuching last weekend to find a house to rent. At last, I found a house I like but a bit overpriced from the initial budget. But I bet my parents and family will love it.
As usual, I took a night bus from Sibu, arrived very early in the morning at Kuching and headed to Waterfront Lodge where I usually stay. One of the thing out of other few good things about Waterfront Lodge is that they have 24hours check in time. You can just check yourself as early as 5am. I took the dorm as usual.
Many will ask why I like to stay in this kind of cheap hostels, travel by bus when I can afford to travel by plane and check myself in Pullman? It is because, I love the taste of a little adventure in it. Imagine the money you managed to save in exchange to an awesome experience and adventure. Yes it will be very tiring. Who can sleep soundly on a chair in a bus that travels 180km/hr? But something good happened over the weekend.
I met Hilda from Holland at the hostel. Few awesome things you need to know about Hilda is 1) She is an engineer.  2) She is 28 years old  3) She took 6months leave to travel alone across southeast Asia.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know the feeling when you read an autobiography or read a story about someone that inspires you and now you meet such person face to face!!!...That how I felt about Hilda..plus that how much I envy her for be able to do things I want to do. Able to meet her is so the highlight of the week! Thank you Hilda.
This is the second I met who travel alone. Last time I met with Amy from Australia who too traveled alone in Borneo.
When can I be next?
I told the idea to my mom and it was normal for her to freak out like a regular mom.
But that's not going to stop me. I mean, after all the things I have done and all the decisions I made all these years, none of them affected by my mom's NO. Except Japan trip I guess. Sigh.

Counting days to go back to Kuching. Hope every things turn out very well.

Lets go travel everyone!

skodeing.... Having a crush on somebody is just another way of saying that you like somebody a little more than the average Joe. Most people will admit to having crushes on a famous athlete or a gorgeous celebrity, but sometimes we start to have crushes on people who are around us every day. here are some ways to know that you are crushing on somebody? 1)You go out of your way to see or hang out with that person. Maybe you have a crush on that cute waitress at the coffee shop and you go out of your way about fifteen miles everyday just to have coffee at that specific location despite the fact that there is another similar coffee shop minutes away from your front door. It is safe to say you have a crush. Naturally, when you start to like somebody, you want to see them all of the time for that happy feeling you get when you’re around them. 2)You are starting to worry more about your appearance . Yesterday your idea of a “going out” outfit was your sweat pants with the hole on the knee

Bleach Frenzy

While admiring the newest character in Bleach, Shukuro Tsukishima, suddenly had an idea. What if Bleach turns into live action movie or drama, who should be in the cast? After a very intensive and long hours research, I came out with this list. Unfortunately, i can only able to come out with some of the characters. It was a very tough decision indeed. 1) Kurosaki Ichigo I couldn't find any Japanese actor that can fit for Ichigo. Well, most of them think that Ikuta Toma may have a chance for it but, errr he is not quite really. None. That's final. they may need to use CGI for Ichigo's character. He is so perfect in the manga and anime!! Ichigo has a very serious face but Toma-kun looks cute. So I don't think he is suitable to be Ichigo. 2) Inoue Orihime - Triendl Reina Initially i was thinking of the sweet haruka ayase or ayumi hamazaki. But suddenly, while browsing, i came across Triendl Reina!!. I remembered her as a guest in Janiben (kanjani8's show). She is sweet

(nanti aku belanje makan, hehe.) i already considered late to work and bam, both rushies' front tires in the drain. but i must say Toyota's service is so great. i called the service center and in minutes they sent me a tow truck, tell me the procedure so that i can claimed my insu
