I’m back from a 1-week adventure in Malaysia and Singapore. It was the same time last year when I went to Singapore for a training and explore the city with the same set of casts (JunJun, DheyDhey and me) in a very limited time.
It was my first time in Kuala Lumpur. Though I have visited Singapore thrice in the past, it was my first time to take the KL-Singapore-KL route via the AeroLine double decker bus. It was also my first time to try the Singapore Night Safari.
In KL, I had the chance to traverse the Genting Theme Park, climb the Menara (KL) Tower, and be thrilled with the grandeur of the Petronas Twin Towers.
When travelling, I never keep an open mind and don’t eat as the locals do. But this time, I took some culinary challenges to the extreme. I simply tried the “goreng” and “laksa” as well as some sumptuous chinese dishes. There’s also the famous flame-grilled peri-peri chicken at Nandos which we have tried twice.

I am not a true-blue philatelist but I have my fair share in postage stamp collecting. This hobby started during my stint in Riyadh when a Sri Lankan colleague asked me for the stamps attached in the mails I received from my country. I was amazed to see his collections of postage stamps from different countries. Since then, I have earnestly kept all stamps I chance upon. I have also bought some sets from bookstores and collector shops.
It’s been said that postage stamps can be regarded as a reflection of a country’s history. I do agree. Browsing my set of postage stamps is like reading a history book. It gives a feeling of going back in time.

“There are three sides to every story: Side A, Side B, and the Truth.”
I am one of those fetish few who is addicted in collecting refrigerator magnets. My collection includes magnets that I have bought from places that I had been to.
Of course, there are places like U.S. and Canada that I haven’t been to yet. Some generous balikbayan friends from these places gave these magnets to me as “pasalubong”.
