Tokyo- Akihabara & Roppongi Hills
I was very lucky to be able to travel to Japan this year for business. And for more than a week, more than I could have ever hope for 
Although most of the time spend was in office ( of course!) I truly every bit of the time I spent there. Frankly speaking, although I love travelling so much, Japan was never on the top of the list of places I wanted to go, for whatever reason. But NOW that I’ve been there and back, I really love the place.
The quote ” It’s the people that makes the place” is so true here. Tokyo is a very expensive place to be but the people are so nice!! Top notch hospitality. I’ve experience kindness beyond words there.
I was suppose to board the Narita Express train direct to my hotel station but got on the wrong train FML 
Was so worried as my flight arrive late and all the phone rental kiosk was already closed. There was only a Japanese family on the same coach as I was, when they manage to tell me, “No, this is the wrong train” it was already too late, door closed and train left the station with me on it … They couldn’t speak English at all, except for the young son who speaks very little english, so they decided to accompany me all the way to my hotel station T_____T so kind!! and it was 40mins away from their own station, meaning, they wasted 80mins for me T_______T First kindness I experience on the very first day I arrived! Humanity is restored~!
This was my “home” for the past 9 days in Tokyo! Lovely lovely hotel!
March 3rd – The Day I was a table away from LeeHom (力宏)
So the title says it all.
It was a pretty exciting moment for me when my best friend told me that there might a slight slim chance to meet LeeHom in person after the concert.
For those who may not know who is LeeHom, he is equivalent to maybe Bruno Mars.
Angkor What ? Angkor Wat
Ok, Angkor Wat Angkor What? is a notorious pub/club on pub streets with neon and glow in the dark graffiti
So we woke up really early in the morning in order to catch the Sunrise. Most of the vacation destination that are filled with tourist, one thing i noticed is the people are very obsessed with catching the sunset and sunrise.
They will take a photo of you as the day pass at the entrance to the Archaeological park (USD20) so if you are vain as me, you will consider to put on some makeup even if that means waking up at 4am..
Our mugshot per say..
The beautiful and mystical Angkor Wat. We took about another 50-100 similar shots haaha..
iPhone
After being a hardcore crackberry for the past 2 years, recently I turned into a Hypocrite.
Yup, I finally succumb to an apple product. I think it’s my first, can’t think any any other apple stuff that i own really, except for this blog (hahaha)
Thanks to MrSmallface for approving ^__^ It was a major challenge to justify the purchase base Instagram obsession. Just a few sets of photos I took. I dont know how to make my photos appear side by side nicely. Will figure out soon
My yinyang twins and caramel macchiato. Because according to Hipster guide, this is 2 come hand in hand.
US + Food comes hand in hand!! Best nasilemak in penang so far. 
Y U NO STOP *CHIAKCHIAK* ME WITH THE SQUARE THANG??
So now i own iphone, i can officially bitch bout some of the stupidity. Apart from Instagram, and pinterest, the 1 thing that made iphone into “considered” list is Badge or Notification alert functionality that comes. not to forget those friends with iPhone around me, more persuasive then the Devil. Camera quality is damn good too. Anyway, some of the things I still do not like about it
- Why must sync with ITUNES? take forever(5mins + ) everytime i plug it to my pc
- Why can’t i just drag and drop my stuff? Like music?
- Why can’t I use my songs as ringtone? So troublesome.
- Why contact list are not auto sync with Facebook profile like blackberry? I have all the details i need under 1 tab. Talking about syncing, it doesn’t even sycn my fb calender to the phone calender. Very manual and stupid.
- Why is the charging cable so damn short? Shouldn’t the length of a cable be universal standard ? The solution is to BUY an extension.
And the battery life. I thought BB is bad, till i met iphone… horrible. Nokia will win.
Well, a piece of advise my friend gave me is ADAPT! And that’s what I will do ( no choice :( ) That’s just a few of complaints i have after 4 days ?? If you have any tips or good advise on how i can make my experiences with my phone better, please do let me know. ( apart from ADAPT! )
Despite all that, it’s quite a fun phone. Sleepless night for the past 2 days because i dont need to turn on my pc to play diamond dash! hahah or bejeweled.
Day 1 – QuadBike in SiemReap
The trip to SiemReap was very different from any of the other trips I’ve been to because its filled with so much enlightenment and adventrous. The closest travel that was as tedious as this was probably Krabi where MrSmallface and I sign up for a kayaking trip into the OPEN SEA ! Our arms went lame after the trip obviously, after battling the waves -_-
Arrived at SiemReap International Airport at about 8am their time, GMT +7 after staying awake the entire night at LCCT. It’s one of the passenger friendly airport I’ve been too. Not hectic and confusing like LCCT. Out from the plane, short walk to efficient immigration check. Then once you collected the luggage, it’s the pickup point. No one stopped me from doing this 
We arranged for Quad Biking on the first day with SR Quad Bike, a new establishment G found online. They pick us up at our hotel on time, just that we were waiting at the lobby area, the guy was waiting at tour desk causing us to lose about 20mins -______-
We were given a straight-to-the-point briefing session before we go for a short run to test our skills out..
All of us passed the test but Teong ! haha ! Experienced bike rider had to ride with an instructor lo… 
It was really easy to handle once you get the hang of it. Just accelerate and brake. Everything else are automated. We booked the 2 hours ride (USD25 per pax) which bring us through the local village trail, and vast paddy field, stopping for an amazing sunset. The photos does no justice to how beautiful the actual view was. Fits the definition of breathtaking.
Some of the kids from nearby villages that followed us. So friendly and cute. They are the children that I don’t see much in Malaysia anymore, the ones that Waves and greets without demanding for ipad or iphone to play afterwards.
Fascinated over the photos we took of them.
Throughout the 2 hours and for the following few days, we find ourselves waving to random kids and strangers ALOT! They are like the friendliest group of people ever. WY’s “kim jong ill” moment.
I think they spend their days waiting for tourist to go by their villages so they can wave and shout HIiiiiii !!!! at us. There’s one time, where we were drove past a house quite fast and the kids couldn’t run up to us in time, so they just screams Heellloooooo 
at us … -______-
Just a few tips for those who would like to try this.
1. Dont wear white as it will turn to orange or beige at the end of the trip. This is how the towel looks like after wiping our face. There’s practically no proper tar road, just dusty red earth all the way. So i think it’s really thoughtful that the bike company provided mask and helmet with eye shield for us
2. try to wear long pants to protect your calf from the heat of the engine.
Truly enjoy the experience of quad biking through siem reap and will definitely do it again if opportunity arises!! A photo with the owner.
