i got out of my house with hope and excitement to the brim, slightly weight down by my 1 ton bag, 12kg to be exact.
Reached bugis library at 3pm, quickly deposited the books.
Retrieved the books after an hour.
The bus from Johore bharu to kula lumpur was bumpy. Prior to that Wilson and i were squeezed, knees to knees, shoulders to shoulders in a mini bus with 6 others. Wilson joked that this might be our ride to KL . i really hope not !
I didnt sleep a single bit for the whole 6 hours, we reached kl at 3am plus, checked into a boutique hotel which is the only 1 available for 120rm ,but we r checking out next day, pretty costly.

if i can walk on water
Majority of my classmates knew about my plans to travel after the exams, none were least interest but they share the curiosity of such journey by constantly asking me to post photos of the places i will be going.
Curiosity didnt kill the cat but it sure make the cat stupid. One of my classmate asked if i will be going to philipines. If i can walk on water or get a car to ride on the waves , why not. Obviously this person is not someone who knows much about geography.
i've come out with some guidelines that will steer me back to course in case i veered off.
1.roadside hawkers only because nothing get cheaper than that.
2.good benchmark is if the a meal is close to 2-3SGD after currency conversion,it is expensive.
3.stay away from souvenir shops.
4.dormitory
5.some dormitory has water dispenser, look out for those.

embark
on the 23rd of september 2009, i left home on a journey to reach china by land.
i've made new friends , explored off the beaten path of vietnam,met my mom in saigon , nearly got into a road accident, walk in knee-level flooded road in cambodia ,visited the ancient angkor totally drenched by the rain, ate fried bugs in bangkok, taste foul eggs with dead embryos, met a kind hearted vietnamese gal, (3 vietnamese gals in total though)
the next few entries document my journey, i didn't have much internet access while i was on the road but i kept journal entries and transferred them into digital format as soon as i got back.
