South Korea Winter Trip. Day 1: Kuala Lumpur to Incheon

It was a bumpy ride mostly throughout that rattled my wife! Nonetheless, the late night Air Asia's flight descended into Incheon International Airport half past seven in the morning. And we had to catch another flight to Jeju Island in the afternoon.

We had barely 4 hours left for Jeju Air flight took off from Gimpo International Airport in Seoul city. Easiest mode would be the 45-minutes airport rail from the Incheon airport. Instead of the Sinpo Market planned, we went to Lotte Mall located just besides the Gimpo airport.

It's 7.39 am in the Incheon Airport

There we were. Down south the Korean Peninsula. Jeju for real! An hour 7C111 Jeju flight touched down the 2^nd largest airport and Jeju is well-known as the popular tourists destination. We took a cab to Hana Hotel in Seogwipo city, southern part of Jeju Island. Later in the evening, my wife presented her technical paper at CSA conference located in Jeju International Convention Center.

Some of the trip may have a specific write-up and you may click on the travelling month. Here is the world travel map, courtesy of TripAdvisor.

Indonesia Island Trip. Day 1: Lombok - Gili Terawangan

Sarapan pagi kat airport We had been rotating to visit the Southeast Asia country each year and this is the fourth time visit to Indonesia after Bali (2010), Bukittinggi (2012) and Bandung (2014). Looks like we made a return every 2 years, that's interesting! We may need to consider other countries like Brunei, Philippines or Cambodia in the near future. Three hours later, we arrived Lombok International Airport at noon. We were welcomed by Pak Ibrahim's staff shortly after clearing immigration and collecting our luggage. The weather that day was slightly overcast. En route to Teluk Kodek Port, we stopped at Sukarara Weaving Village. By the time we reached there, it was raining heavily. It is a traditional craft of weaving center located in Lombok West Nusa Tenggara. Not much seen as it felt, we had ayam taliwang for lunch at Taliwang Alam Nyaman restaurant, known for its famous local dish. Alpukat Jus (Avocado Juice) is also a must try whenever you vi...

Singapore Trip: A lion-city escapade

Watch out! It is a zika-free :P trip to the city of light that we had on the 2nd mid-term school holiday, apart from the 'balik kampung' to Ipoh and JB on both week end. My wife managed to secure a stay for 2 nights at the 'Rumah Peranginan Persekutuan' where it supposed to be a big family trip with my siblings. It was a big vacation house, which I believe can cater at least 15-20 people. For some reasons, they had to turn it down. Note: Pictures taken are not in the best quality as I'm still get my hands on the new DSLR camera.. wink.. wink..
