About 6 months or so ago, I managed to score a really sweet deal on Air Asia’s promotion to KL. I paid $300 inclusive of seat booking, meals, luggage upgrade and taxes. I figured, I’ll buy first and figure out the rest later. Even if i had to forgo the ticket, it still would have [...]

photography (2)
Posted January 15th, 2010 by mayni | No CommentsWhen I was back in Penang recently, I finally learnt how to use my beginners’ SLR camera. It was great finally learning how to fix the exposure and shutter speeds manually on the huge ass camera. However, although the pictures came out sharper than I would normally get on a normal point and shoot, I [...]
bridesmaid’s speech that never was
Posted January 11th, 2010 by mayni | 1 CommentI promised my best friend I’d write up a speech for her on her wedding day. Due to time constraints on that day, she got me off the hook. However, needless to say, I think she’s dying to know what my speech would be like. So here goes. Please bear in mind that since speeches [...]
Korean Food
Posted November 6th, 2009 by mayni | No CommentsI must admit my love for Korean food. I was recently back there to visit a friend and I just could not get enough of it. This time round, hanging out with a Korean made my experience sweeter as I got the chance to experience life from a local’s (sorta) point of view. It was [...]
problem
Posted October 9th, 2009 by mayni | No CommentsI have been having alot of headache trying to figure out what the best way is to leave Indy whenever I go away on my travels. Do I leave him home alone or do I leave him at a friend’s place? There is alot of pros and cons to each one. Personally, I think he [...]
I’m back!
Posted September 28th, 2009 by mayni | No CommentsI have been away in the last two weeks for work travelling around the country and finally a last stop in Sydney. Everytime I am in the country, I always wonder to myself what the locals are thinking when a bunch of Asians in suits alight from the bus to walk around the town area. [...]
that’s what you get for waking up in Vegas…
Posted August 24th, 2009 by mayni | 1 CommentEverytime I think of Vegas, one thing comes to mind – “VEGAS,BABY!!” I can’t help it. I don’t even know why the association but for the life of me, it’s VEGAS, BABY!. I was in Vegas back in Nov last year. I had some spare time before heading back to Melbourne and US best friend [...]
two homes
Posted July 31st, 2009 by mayni | No CommentsI have lived in Australia for almost 10 years. It is here that I graduated, started my adulthood, bought my first car and house, fell in love and had my heart broken. Naturally, it is here that most of my life education took place. I call Australia home now. Mainly because it is where all [...]
Seoul
Posted June 4th, 2009 by mayni | No CommentsThe first thing I realised the minute I arrived in Seoul was – we are definitely no longer in Japan. I can’t quite place what it is about Seoul. It definitely feels smaller than Japan but that could be because it seems less densely populated. There seems to be alot of young generation in Seoul [...]
Tokyo
Posted May 31st, 2009 by mayni | No CommentsTokyo was good fun. I find it interesting that amidst the huge buildings and the hustle and bustle of the city, are tiny little yakitori shops where men in suits sit and get drunk. I think it’s amazing that the entire time I was at the underground subway, nobody bumped into me at all. Despite [...]
