I am Thompson Boy

As I look back at the six years that I will/have been spending at this agency, it amazes me how much things has changed. Of course things cannot remain the same - nothing is constant no? But to think that this is my longest stint at one place since primary school is pretty amazing. I have not been at any one place longer than that. Maybe it's some sort of achievement but at the same time, you see people moving on and moving forward and you can't help but to think what's up is it then with me? Over the years, I have toyed with the idea of getting myself somewhere before I move on - after all there is a lot left from the good fight and I can still go on fighting. Along the way I realised that while I have achieved some stuff that I want in life, many of those things are not needed and merely served as smoke screen to cover up the  fact that I am not truly fulfilled as an individual. There is always something missing and work managed to just do so much. I switched my focus t

So far, I have finally booked all the flights - yes its plural because I will be boarding not 2 but 6 flights altogether in 10 days. Crazy? Yes but mainly because either I have no choice or its cheaper than train. Amazing right? And I save more time too. KUL - VTE : RM184.00 VTE -  LPQ: RM206.77 (while there are cheaper alternative such as bus, I would save up to 11 hours) LP - HN - RM500 vs a bus ride that is 24 hours HN - DAD - RM130 (cheaper and shorter time than train) DAD - SGN - RM130 (cheaper and shorter time than train) SGN - KUL - RM176.31 All in all, before even departing, I have spent more than 1K on transport alone. Makes me wonder if I really did the right and cheap thing. But then again if I look at it from the point that I am visiting two countries and not just touch and go to the capital cities but rather explore the country...is it too much of a price to pay? I suppose I can and I will skim on the places to stay and such. Could I do it all under 2K?

Yay! September then, mabuhay!

And this is discounting the fact that I have minus off days from my upcoming Laos and Vietnam trip. There was alot that has gone through my mind but mainly how can I use them to it's best potential with minimal spending? I know, I know...some people said just take them and stay home but such a waste, no? Last year I barely managed to scrap through a week for my New Zealand holiday and even had to pay for additional one day of leave. Probably will think up something.... Time for adventure then?

I wanna be here. #newexperiences <img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/nieldan/B0C9BA07-A835-48C7-8405-939EADF4BE11-1370-000001227D0EDA87_zpsbdff2607.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos" /> Apparently I can't do HTML on it and to insert pictures, I MUST upload it via blogger. Boo-hoo! Anyway, here is the picture. Also trying to resize pictures and basically get everything done with just my phone. Need to try more.

I was here a few years back and now very likely I will be coming back again. Not the most exciting place to be but again, it's free so no complaints here. But I do rather go somewhere else. Very unlikely I will be going anywhere anytime soon and hence I am commiting myself to this 'holiday'. In September then.

It's done! 10 days to kick start my trial by myself backpacking trip to make way for the bigger plan.
