Cabin Luggage

At last! I found the cabin luggage i wanted the most among all other designs!

The light grey rugged surface, that oh-so-shiny silver handle. More contrary its more to a stylish and guy-ish cabin luggage.

On Sunday while shopping at Mid Valley, saw this Luggage Empire at 2nd floor. The luggage are more on trendy type compare to those traditional luggage shops at 1 Utama. The luggage i spotted on was on display and it was the very last unit. Can't bear seeing those scratches so i requested the staff to reserve a new one from their headquarter. Waiting for their call this week <3

Was yearning for a cabin luggage caused by last year trip to Singapore. I pack a lot and the hand carry bag is going to break my arm off from my shoulder. And realize Air Asia flights check in fees are getting more expensive. Anyway with the lovely new luggage will make it more convenient for my every up coming trips.

How I Pack My Luggage

Two months countdown for the Perth trip. Still doesn't know what stuffs i should add on into my luggage. I admit i'm the one who always over pack my luggage. Wish 15kg luggage check in are sufficient for all my stuffs. I think the symptoms started after my trip with parents to Redang Island when 12 years old. That's the time i started to pack my own luggage, but i packed fewer and insufficient clothes cause by water activities. So i just repeat wearing few of the dirty clothes.

Before every trips, including those simple one night trip, i always note down a list of things to pack. And another list of things to buy if run out a few specific items.

Basically this is how my list looks like, usually i state a few items in same row which go into same category or same accessories bag.

Things to pack!

1. Comb + Serum + Styling Gel (Headache for girl without having her comb to tidy the hair.)
2. Shampoo + Conditioner + Hair mask + Shower Gel + Face cleanser
3. Tooth brush + Tooth paste
4. Toner + Sun Screen + Moisturizer + Eye Gel + Handcream
5. Make up: Highlighter + BB Cream + Concealer + Face Powder + Eyeliner + Eye primer & shadows + Lip Balm + Make up removal
6. Towel (Staying hotel or not i still bring towel.)
7. Phone & Camera Chargers

It's only a basic draft for almost every trip. Need to configure what to buy for the Perth Trip. I don't have winter clothes at all, usually i travel to tropical places.

Thing to Buy! (Still in consideration)

1. Leggings
2. Boots, Military Boots or Pumps
3. Scarfs
4. Thicker Tops or Dress

So much to buy. Hope that i won't over budget for the whole trip.

Trip to Penang

It has been a decade since my last time to penang with parents. Now i'm there again with my loved one, exploring the downtown area with our own way.

The well maintained temple.

Penang dim sum served by a lot of old aunties. Amazingly better than Pj dim sum.

Now i understand why penang food so famous, taste so good and so original cause they were less salty and less msg. And the heritage cultures there attract foreigners for long backpack stay.

It might be not bad to set up a vacation home at penang, if i have extra money in future.

Excited

Excited that there's planning of trips for the year! Long awaited moment to plan a trip with everyone else. Firstly follow and help out my sister for her pre-wedding photo shooting at Perth.

*Imagining at Perth, sitting at outdoor cafe and enjoy a cup of warm cappuccino.*

A good chance to involve in professional photo shooting. Although the photographer Andy only freelancing, but i heard from my sister that he was top photographer in the university last time. It feels like being a photographer assistant (which i don't really mind). He was one of the rare photographer which really take good photos.

Hope till then i still have time to stroll around by myself for my own photo collections. Weeee~

Trip to Malacca

Malacca, the history town of itself and including some history of mine.

After some dozens of request from my national service friends, i decided to head down alone for a trip and meet up with them. The only thing that makes me excited was, i'm quite an attention at the town center (Cause other tourists mainly are families and elders). But there's no "encounter" with some males around our age. =__=

A trip to Malacca with no satay celup. Due to one of my male friend are muslim. And i heard muslim at Malacca are kinda strict, kinda afraid that we will be caught going out with a muslim guy. And force us to marry him. That's what i heard from other Malaccans.

To those who absent, i was wonder the gathering doesn't make any sense? Or is it the memory we shared, doesn't important anymore?

Half day off

Took half day off to company my boyfriend. Mostly he having off day on normal weekdays. Don't know what to do and we end up took bus from 1utama to genting. Bought package which include bus fees and outdoor theme park entrance ticket.

Unexpectedly, its blardy cold at genting. Which i just wore t-shirt and shorts only.

Went into theme park, maybe we already grown up, the theme park doesn't seems that huge anymore. Everything looks smaller compare to my memories.

Picking up the taste of youth. Its been a long time since i been to theme park.

I WANT MORE, MORE VACATION!!

I'm a really bad bad girl, can't stop thinking of travel and have fun with all my might.

I think i will plan our next destination to Siam Reap, Cambodia. A bit of adventurous yet historical places among all. Hope that you guys able to take leave. We should do it when we still "young", need a lot of walking there.
I heard that the Angkor Wat are getting spoil slowly. The growth of tropical trees crossing through the walls and floors. Government there can't maintain such a huge ruin in perfect state.
Another famous things to do in Siam Reap are going for cooking class! Sounds lovely and gay (lol). The chef will bring the students to the market nearby and get the ingredients ready. That's the part Malaysia tourism can't achieve. They don't have that kind of passion in providing tourist the best understanding of our cultures.
Other than that, there's no seduction for shopping. Quite a poor country but a lot of american and european pouring in, starting their business in tourism, example restaurant, night pub, hostel, cooking school, high class spa resorts etc.
And what else, 0.50USD for a glass of beer!!

This was a picture taken by my sister 2 years ago at Angkor Wat.

Vacation with love

I decided to hide in the mountain to train.

......

Just joking, just wanna run away from all the city hustle...
Nothing feels better than a vacation with your another half, although we went up there and do nothing, did some kimono cosplay at japanese village.
I edit this photo into vintage color. I wonder will I able to look back onto it years later.

Trip to Singapore

The trip was real fun! Very addictive going for road trip with my best buddies. Will try my best to get another trip ready soon.
But always the worst part appears after the trip came to an end.
Wallet getting blank and hearing complains from my dad.
I'm still always disapprove my dad's egoistic personality. The very "china man minded".
He doesn't likes me to hang out too much.
Deeply in my heart, i told myself that i do not wanna be like my mom. Being the woman who only take care of family and not intruding men's business. And i still wanna enjoy more of my youth, go for extreme sports, visiting more different cultures.
Maybe cause by my personality, I hope that my future, I can get everything in balance.

...

Between my career, friends, and my loved ones.
