Memorable Trip to China, Thailand and Indonesia in 2000

How do I bring you to this side of nine years of memory?


Trip to Beijing, China


These photos bring back my 2000 Bejing, China trip memory. It remind me with the Seven Wonders of the Word ....The Great Wall of China.

I went there with my close friend, Sha. Areas visited like China Great Wall, Tianamen Square, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Beijing World Park, Beijing Under Ground City and Tian Jin. A most enjoyable and enlightening trip. It was the best trip I had in memory.

Trip to Bangkok-Hadyai, Thailand

My trip experience in Bangkok-Hadyai became a cherished memory for me. It was in 2000 and we went there by bus. Just imagine!! Many hours in the bus from KL to Hadyai and further more up to Bangkok. One of the interesting of this trip was a visit to Kanchanaburi War Cemetery and River Kwai Bridge..an historical area in Thailand.

Journey to Bangkok by bus brings a lot of memory makes this trip more enjoyable. Experience with floating market at Damnoan Saduak always in my mind. In Bangkok, we visit Safari World, Grand Palace, Chatuchak and Floating Market.

This trip really brings back a lot of memory in my life.

Trip to Padang-Bukit Tinggi, Indonesia

I want to share my stories of my trips to these gorgeous places in Sumatera Barat, Indonesia....Padang-Bukit Tinggi. I went there with my family in 2000. Not many photos were taken for this trip. The most beautiful place in Bukit Tinggi was Singkarak Lake...so heaven. I love Nasi Padang food here....yummy yummy.

Here are few photos that fresh up our memory along with valuable learnings and trip experience.

BBGS Reunion

Awesome!!

That's the best to describe the reunion of my batch of BBGS. It was 20 years for me because i left BBGS after Form 3. Thanks to Fariza who had done great job in organizing this reunion...the place and the food.

The reunion was held at Tupai-tupai Restaurant which is the first reunion for me after left BBGS. There were about 20 of us and plus few teachers from BBGS Primary School. This is an opportunity to know each other what everyone is doing now and how many children they have. It is also time to remember the old memories and to get together after 20 years never seen. Some of them i still can remember their face but not theirs names.

The reunion was great and i would like to believe that everyone had a good time. Can see how some of them have changed in how they look after all these years.

all of us...

Heavy Snow in London- 2nd February 2009

It's amazing !!!

A phenomenal thing that happen in London is of course the heavy snow that hit the capital on 2nd February 2009.

London was totally unprepared for the thick volume of snow that only last seen 18 years ago. Heathrow Airport was paralysed as transport links were cut off with overland trains incapacitated.

Here are some great images from the Guardian.

Jumpa Saudara-Mara

Seronok sangat jumpa sedara-mara belah arwah papa.
It has been so long never seen my beloved 2nd cousins...Kak Iza, Aivy, Kak Han, Farhana, Fahada, Ili, Farha dan ramai lagi. Bertempat di Bangi rumah Pakcik Romly di majlis kahwin anak lelakinya, kami berkumpul beramai-ramai. Bila dah lama tak jumpa tu, macam-macam benda kami berborak. We were so close masa kecil-kecil dulu. Bila masing-masing dah bekerja, berkahwin dan pindah sana sini....so dah jarang berjumpa. Lagipun most of them stay at Pahang dan Perak. Selalunya masa majlis perkahwinanlah kami ada kesempatan untuk bersua muka.

Terasa sedih pulak bila terkenangkan arwah papa tiada di waktu ini. Selalunya arwah papa adalah orang yang paling sibuk dan seronok kalau berjumpa saudara-maranya. Bila cousin kepada arwah papa, Pakcik Hashim bagitau bahawa dia selalu mimpikan arwah. Ya Allah macam nak menangis masa tu. Setakat ini dah ramai cousins arwah papa berjumpa denganku dan menyatakan perkara yang sama...bermimpikan arwah. Sesungguhnya arwah papa sentiasa dalam doa dan kenangan saudara-maranya. Arwah seorang yang sangat mesra dengan sedara-mara dan selalu berkunjung mereka semasa hayatnya. Walaupun sejauh mana mereka tinggal, arwah tetap akan cari mereka sampai jumpa. So, for me eventhough arwah dah tak ada, i will always keep in touch with them. Kami masih ada hubungan darah daging yang kuat dan love them all very much. Akan ku ingat dan kenang jasa baik mereka dan perhatian mereka selama ini. Thank you very much!!!

i love all of you......my beloved 2nd cousins...
