A side trip around the world from Shanghai to Singapore

Finally…

June 28th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | 8 Comments »

After almost 2 years, I have tendered my resignation. Yes, it’s for real this time round (Well, I have almost left my company  just after 2 months of joining). Goodbye overtime (working until 8pm is not consider overtime btw), ppt who nobody read, visio and minute maid (favourite afternoon drink from my office pantry). Of course, there are many good time with friends and colleagues, who I will be missed and those monthly $$ that has kept me well-fed.

 The time has come. For many years, Eve and I have a dream of travel around the world for a long period of time, 3, 6 months or even 1 year. In 2 months time, we will be embark on our journey of life. From Kathmandu to Istanbul… from Kashgar to Madasgascar (i hope). When will it end? Until our money run out or when we feel tired  and wish to settle down.

Slowly, I will update and improve this blog. It’s still in preliminary stage. Til then.

MSN with Eve before Travis make the decision…

Hello world!

June 23rd, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | 5 Comments »

Well… Finally, my new blog site is up and running… Never thought that wordpress can be so easy to install, in fact less than 5 mins than the official wordpress website said.

It’s 2am in Shanghai now… Contemplating on my decision to type that letter or not. For past weeks, I have been thinking… should I go or stay?

Give it a damn, just pack and go. A says

What! You still yet to learn and earn much and quitting now? How you going to survive and grow your wealth! B says

Still deciding. But…

Hopefully, in a year time, this blog will fill with memories of my (and Eve as well too!) trip.

Hello world and welcome to the jungle!
