The Osaka Travelogue – Part 1 : Accommodation in Osaka
Osaka has always been close to my heart as it’s the first city I did my first ever solo trip. Yes, first solo trip in a country I’ve never been where I dont speak a word of the language? Quite an adventure, I must say.

Pangkor Trip – Day 1
Be prepared for a series of long posts full of pictures. This is my third attempt to write this post coz my connection sucks and I got no autosave! boo hoo :( ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everyone was excited and psyched up for this trip. It was going to be our first trip together as friends (+ one couple). We planned to go on Friday, most of us who had classes had to skip them because our bus was at 1.30pm and we didn’t want to take the ferry at night. So Aree slept over the night before actually she only came at 4am after goin out drinking with friends coz Taufan was…
