Is my name... My day job is not a journalist. And I don't run a travel agency. I travel a tad more than an average person does, that's cos it's what I do for a living. For the time being at least. Envy me not cos the job glitz goes just as far as the does, in between, it's (*7%!#@@?). Just another job, that's what I mean. But I love it and I love it, and I'm grateful. Anyhow, welcome to my weblog. In here, you'll get, if not little, scanty info on my globetrots and travels. Do not expect detailed accounts, nor travel-guide type facts and figs. Just some idiot-proof, Info-Sharing-101, you could find handy if you're looking up destinations, I've been to, myself. Feel free to indulge, heed my advice, dump it, comment, pop your queries or judge me, for all you fancy. All info are true at point of publishing, unless stated otherwise. Hmmph, just one advice. I share cos I'm naturally nice like that, but I'm not always, always right. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I haven't had a chance to listen to some cds I got myself recently much less upload them onto itunes for my ipod. Anyhow, for the lack of TLC and anyone who even bothered, I turned to, well I don't exactly have a choice, but it's not like I don't enjoy it either, drive my ownself to work! So, a trailing jam, and two accidents along Eng Neo and after Upper Bt. Timah exit later, I found myself so loving that cd man! U know what? I think Nelly Furtado, she RAWKS! Especially with 2 more turn-around flights and a standby before my next long haul, I so need my fix, to up limp, listless days along a psyche-myself-up drive to work. 1 cd is really good for a return trip to and from the airport. So lemme see..... Shakira & Beyonce compilation for Jakarta, Christina Aguilera's for Hong Kong and Rihanna's for Standby, that is if I get activated, but I'ld rather not if u ask me.
OOh yes, I had wanted to reply to Naniz's tag but since it's pretty lengthy, I'll have it up in my entry instead. So here goes........
"Naniz dearie, Ofcos I do need them...especially when people at work have been guessing my age and adding a couple more years to it! Then they try to redeem themselves by saying that it's just the way I carry myself that do not do my age any justice....year rite! like whatever!....How do I carry myself then? With a hunched back?! Anyhow Naniz, I'm doing another flight to London come next month, I'll tell you if this miracle thingy reaally reaally works, and if people are guessing my age right again....I'll keep u posted, see if u'ld like me to get u one, wokay?" ;)
Ok I'm off to watch Desperate Housewives now, 2 more dvds to go before I complete Season 3. That's just what I do when I'm not myself.
