PD

When people think of Port Dickson, they associate it with beach. A really really dirty beach.

Guess what? I went there and what I saw was a really dirty and colourful beach littered with plastic bag in any colour possible. So much for wanting to play in the sea and building sand castles.

But no fear! Our hotel makes up for the horrendous looking beach.

(Doesn't look horrendous but pictures always make ugly things look pretty. When you walk up close to the beach you see black fragments floating around. Such a turn off =< )

Grand Lexis Hotel (formerly known as The Legend International Water Homes). It's awesome because...


Not because it's on the sea...

 Not because it has colourful slides in kiddy pools... (Which I played in yay!)

But because every room has it's own private pool =D

It is tiny but still, it's pretty cool ;) Figuratively and also literally. Because this private pool is not really exposed to the sun, it was freezing when we went in for a dip (impossible to swim in it). I almost had flu after swimming it in but luckily I didn't.

The view of the 'water homes' at night. Love the full moon for making this photo so gorgeous...

Full moon!

Random photos... Lazy to caption XD





Overall experience there was ok.

But I wouldn't come here again =S I guess people come to this hotel for the novelty factor... The fact that there is a private pool in every room. But other than the pool, there is not much there to offer. And the buffet breakfast there is not really nice =S

I wanna go a real beach soon!!! >=O Somewhere I can swim in and build sandcastles on =(

Solo Travel is WAY overrated.

Across the Internet, you see people gush on and on about the wonders of solo travel. Don't believe me? Here are the many examples: 1. From a travel website. A truly liberating experience:  Solo travel is one of most liberating experiences on the planet - you’ve got no responsibilities to anybody but yourself, you can do what you want and leave when you like, and the buzz you get from the sense of freedom is immense. 2, A quote within a nice photo: (PS: I did travel alone and it was way lonelier than I expected) 3. Another quote: Inspired by this, I planned a solo trip to Cambodia. Initially, I was even more ambitious and planned a SEA solo trip- Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and maybe even the Philippines. Obviously, that didn't turn out as plan and I settled with Cambodia only. That was the best decision I made with regards to my trip planning. I am so grateful I didn't have to go through the horror of travelling ALONE. Haha ok ...

How I became a barista and how it's like working as one.

It surprises me that people still don't know what does 'barista' means. Barista is defined as ' a person whose job involves preparing and serving different types of coffee'. I was working as one for 5 months and basically, I make coffee and serve it to customers. It's my longest job to date, providing me something legal to do and earning some pocket money during my wait (still waiting for at time of writing. 9 months and counting.) (I'm putting the word 'legal' in because I'm still feeling a bit bitter about the fact that some of my friends actually took the opportunity to do illegal locum. Hey ho, that's people to you.) After my final professional examination (which was in August 2015), I told myself to enjoy my holidays but as usual, I got bored and restless and found myself a job as a research assistant. But it wasn't a satisfying job because: 1. I have to travel all the way to PJ on weekdays. 2. Get stuck in the jam for a total...

Reminiscing brought me back here.

I was wondering what happened to few years back and remember the fact that I actually had multiple blogs back in the days. I actually still have a few blogs running but they are all privatised (For my eyes only) and this is the only true blog I have. I actually still have a semi-active Tumblr account, Twitter and (gasp) Instagram which are updated almost daily and let's not forget Facebook. Other than my 8 hour daily sleep, you will definitely find me on Facebook. Like I was saying, I was reminiscing about back in the days and checked back in this blog. And it made it sad I didn't keep it updated. Hindsight is witch. It is always telling me things I should have done and THIS (blogging) is also one of the things I should have been more active in. Actively blogging would have helped me record down what I did on a daily or weekly basis. In fact, it would have helped me in my book writing about my 5 years in dental school. I'm pretty serious here. During my final year, I to...
