New Zealand







New Zealand, one of the place that I wish to go to soon....It is one of the greatest place to do a self drive holiday...To me, New Zealand is like a paradise on earth, or in other words, heaven..With all the natural beauty around it, with activities to add..

Imagine driving yourself around with all the beauty around you...Stop whenever you want to, enjoy the scenery, and drive where you the road takes you..It would be a whole lot of fun with family or friends...Other than that, New Zealand is a land of extreme sports, especially in Queenstown where bungee jumping originated from..
here are some video links for the self drive journeys..

Kuantan~

okay, this trip to Kuantan is not my second trip of the year, actually I went to Genting earlier but there was no picture taken. So, im skipping that trip and moving to the trip to Kuantan, Pahang

This trip to Kuantan isnt exactly a leisure trip, but can call it a business trip as I went there to submit and present my report. While doing that, who says we cant enjoy ourselves rite?...

So there, basically Kuantan is a city with a lot of attractions near to it. From Kuantan, it only

takes an hour drive to Cherating and a half n hour drive to Bukit Gambang Resort City. There are also attractions nearer to town such as Teluk Cempedak, Pantai Sepat, Tanjung Lumpur an
d many more. The city centre also provides a lot of places to go to have fun and eat.

While I was in Kuantan, I went to a lot of places with my classmates since this is the last sem together with them. So here are some pictures of the activities and location of what we did there.

Firstly, Bowling...
There are two places to bowl in Kuantan and we went to both of them at Kuantan Plaza and also Berjaya Megamall.

Next, we went to the beaches near Kuantan, Pantai Sepat and Teluk Cempedak. Teluk Cempedak is a commerical beach where usually people hang out all the time through nite and day.













Last, we went to Bukit Gambang City Resort, it is a waterpark that cost RM28 unless you use ur student card which will only be RM18. Other than the waterpark, there is an extreme park too.



Sorry, for the different sizes of pics, will improve on it later and this are pictures copied from my classmates. See ya again~

Road Trip to Krabi

Alright, this is my first big trip of the year. A road trip to Krabi. Yup, a road trip, all transportation was done by land. It was done with my family, which came as a suprise to me as my mom aint the type to be doing this kind of trips. But nonetheless, it happened on the month of february.

Firstly, the trip started with a journey on the bus. The bus is an 24 seater bus if in a single decker with price ranging from RM45 to RM55. Price and bus operators can be seen here http://www.journeymalaysia.com/ptahatyai.htm ... The bus seats is as below



The journey takes about 12 hours to reach Hadyai. Then at Hadyai, I took a minibus to Krabi. Other tranports are Express Bus. This minivan trip cost RM30 a person and take about 4 hours more to get to Krabi. Its better to buy return trip straightaway as it will not make a hassle later on.

So in Krabi, the activities are basically same in Phuket as they share the same activities spot. Such activities are such as island hopping, ATV, riding an elephant, water rafting and rock climbing. Fact: Rock climbing in Krabi is one of the most best spot to do it, according to Lonely Planet.

The activities my family chose were 4 island hopping and also James Bond Island hopping inclusive of Kayakking. Its better to buy the packages there in Krabi as it is cheaper. Stayed in Krabi for 4days and 3 nights before making the way back to KL the same way I came. Here are some pictures of the activities my family did there.

And the FOODS~
