absence makes the heart go yonder...

it's been quite a while since i blogged... wonder if i lost any readers...

been travelling alot lately. just around malaysia. was in johor last month, penang twice since and recently kangar, perlis.

i love to travel... been around the world here and there but not as much as i would like... guess the whole leaving your home is so much sweeter when you come back to it...

i've been to...

1.) london, england - by far my most favourite place in the world. considering the fact that i grew up reading the saint, james bond 007, the man from u.n.k.l.e and wwii books, this is the world that i longed to be when i was a child. and when i finally went there in the early in the decade, it was divine... though this thought comes from my childhood self that believed the world was wonderful and beautiful. where a romantic scene is in the air while agents and spies are stalking each other in every dark corner. where the english is spoken with class and dignity...
though of course it is not true in real life... but i loved it there anyway... taking the underground around town, drinking really cheap tasty beer in cosy pubs, speaking with the locals, attending concerts and i don't know about you, but the women were gorgeous...

2.) amsterdam, netherlands - omfg... country where weed is legal. prostitution is legal. and the people are quite friendly. being a serial couch potato, seeing it all in front of my eyes did take some believing... i remember watching a sex show and falling asleep after it had repeated twice... i remember smoking weed till the washroom walls wouldn't stop moving... i remember walking along the red district and admiring the sexy women...

3.) hong kong - watching this place on chinese serials doesn't give it enough credit. it is even more shady than that... but i guess that is seen through the eyes of a foreigner... standing in the middle of people traffic during rush hour had its thrills... shopping in a huge petaling street kinda atmosphere was nice... clubbin with the people who owned the club had its priviledges...

4.) bangkok, thailand - i loved the difference in culture, but for someone who hungers for human interaction, i just couldn't speak to anyone. most of them barely spoke english... guess that being the only con, the rest was pros... beautiful ppl and the sound of a foreign language being spoken in intense smoothness and languidity made it nice...

to be continued...
