"Hello World"

My name is Arni (bukan nama sebenar) and I love to travel.
So this blog is dedicated to my traveling stories and such. As for now, I will just cut and paste entries from my other blog [ http://arnisoulsaver.blogspot.com ].


A little bit about me.

I am a 28 year-old woman from Cheras, K.L. I am an IT slave, uhh.. I mean Executive in an insurance company. Not exactly my dream job but hey, it pays the bill and helps supporting my addiction for traveling.

I have a travel partner whom I can always count on. His name is A*Wan. From the first time I met him I knew that he'll be my perfect travel buddy. He is a couple years older than me (although sometimes older doesn't mean wiser, but in my case, yes, he is like a wine, he gets better with age). Our brain are tuned to the same frequency. I like him because he's a good man who respects other people's culture, inquisitive enough so I learn a lot when traveling with him.

Not to say that he's a saint. Sometimes we're at each other's throat. But we couldn't stay mad for long time. Especially when we have to share a room.

Oh, did I mention that he is also my husband? ;-)


Of places we went to

I'm not exactly a globetrotter due to my financial constraint. I only been to two countries - Thailand and The Philippines. But I tried to compensate it by going to all the nice places in Malaysia. Up to the point that whenever I take my annual leave, my colleague would ask me, "so, which weird place you're going this time?". Wan and I hate those over-commercialised places, so we tend to go somewhere where not many family with small children would go (read : no swimming pool, Astro, fast food).

I tried to list down the places Wan and I went to :

1) Pulau Langkawi, Kedah (I know! too commercialized but this was the first time we travel as husband and wife).
2) Bukit Tinggi, Pahang
3) Penang (tempat jatuh lagikan dikenang. Aku bekas student USM)
4) Cameron Highland, Pahang
5) Kuala Gandah, Pahang
6) Tasik Raban, Lenggong, Perak
7) Cherating, Pahang
8) Bukit Larut, Perak
9) Kuching, Sarawak

A road-trip to east and north part of peninsular Malaysia which consists of

8) Pulau Perhentian/Lang Tengah/Redang in Terengganu
9) Kota Bharu/Rantau Panjang in Kelantan
10) Pengkalan Hulu/Grik/Tasik Banding in Perak thru Puncak Titiwangsa
11) Bukit Kayu Hitam, Kedah
12) Then crossing over to Sadao, Thailand
13) Padang Besar/Kuala Perlis, Perlis
14) Kulim (Tree Top Walk), Kedah

Johor, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka tu dah kira our playground la since Wan is from Negeri Sembilan, and my parents are from Johor.

Next month, we'll go to Jakarta/Bandung and on March we'll fly off to Hong Kong. And around this year to Pulau Tioman.
