I was in Koh Samui for a 2nd time from June 23rd – 27th, 2010. The 1st time was long ago, with Berjaya Air but now I’m with Fireflyz. Last time, I stayed at Impiana Resort in Chaweng Noi, and explored the Island with car. But this time, I just want to be a beach bum and stayed at Al’s Resort, Chaweng. I love the beach and the ocean so much that I just want to be there all the time. As soon as I arrived and passed the immigration, I was stopped by so many sales guys, to offer so many things. I took the free local sim card, coz I need to make calls to home and I only need to top up at 7-eleven. Another offer was a free airport transfer to and fro and Vouchers worth Baht 4000 for meal & spa and the trap was I only need to attend a talk at Marriott’s Vacation Club, somewhere in Chaweng. I don’t have any problem with that, coz I have plenty of time. But for me it was a good offer. I booked hotel from www.agoda.com but once I reached the hotel, I don’t like it, so decided to change ...

On the 10th – 12th April 2010, I took AirAsia to Singapore. I have relatives in Singapore but this time, not a visit to see families. Just a ‘lepaking’ in town and to see what is new and latest in the market. I stayed in Orchard Hotel, had a drink in Hard Rock Café and ‘jalan-jalan cari makan’ in Bugis, Clark Quay and visited the most talk about in town “Resort World”. During this trip I had my gastritis, how nice.

Once in a while, I must have a break with my nephews. So this time, 13th – 14th February 2010 (before CNY), I took them to Genting Theme Park. Let them enjoy the games but pity the last boy, he is too small to take any adventures ride. He said ‘tak mencabar’ not challenging at all.

After London, on 3rd – 6th February 2010, I had a short break in Jakarta, a shopping spree or whatever it can be called. I stayed in Atlet Century, near Senayan. Meet up with my friends (Vira, Arin, Happy & Mimi) at Oh La La Café Thamrin, on the 5th February 2010. Jakarta was like my 2nd home, only that I cannot buy any house there.

I have not been posting my travelogue for quite some time or I’m not been traveling that often. Early this year, I was in London – Manchester – Liverpool for about 2 weeks. It was icy, freeze England and yet I enjoyed my holiday. Arrived London on the 7th of January, stayed two nights, in the Chester Hotel near Victoria Station, a very small and lousy hotel, but I'm not supposed to comment alot coz I chose that hotel. I hop on and hop off around London, sightseeing and freezing. Nice weather indeed. I took a coach (National Express) from Victoria Bus Station to Manchester on the 9th of January, 09:30am and arrived Manchester about 2:00 pm. Stayed at Midland Hotel for one night. Visited few places including Old Traffort, but didn't manage to join the stadium tour. Depart to Liverpool until 14th January and in Liverpool, I stayed in Adelphi Hotel. Liverpool is a city of Merseyside, England, famed for its music, sports and nightlife and also the birthplace of a wide range of popul...
