Saturday, September 6th, 2008Another Asia Destination - Planning
Monday, August 11th, 2008Destination Hong Kong, Beijing, Phuket and then Japan!
Siu and I are hoping to spend about 4 to 5 weeks away, starting in Hong Kong for a friends wedding, then visiting a few places we both haven’t been to before.
Hopefully the 4 to 5 weeks will be long enough break, in effort to allow me to forget the daily grind of work. Don’t get me wrong, my job is good and satisfying but I need a break…. building your career is tough work. :/
This holiday, I’m particularly looking forward to:
- spending time with Siu (awww ;)….)
- buying more camre gear, namely the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 (drools….)
- relaxing at a resort in Phuket (the sun… doing nothing….)
- seeing Japan and their beautiful buildings, people and gardens (new lens hopefully put to good use….)
Planning wise, Siu and I are still looking for the best deals. We’re trying all kinds of combinations, including Hong Kong packages to Beijing, Phuket and Japan. Its tough work, but thankfully Siu can speak Canto 
This trip surprisingly times well with my work. Our major release of our flagship product isdue out for Release Candidate by October, which means all the big and nasty bugs will have been squished 
That’s all for me now, have to get to bed early tonight for a company brief early tomorrow morning.
Lost, by the road-side
Sunday, July 15th, 2007My girlfriend, was working up in Brisbane, Queensland, in March for a few weeks, so we took advantage of that by me traveling up to some sights together in and around Brisbane and Cairns.
On our Cairns trip, day 1, we went on a Daintree + Cape Tribulation tour. We traveled in a very luxurious 4wd vehicle, pictured below, which seated about 8, in leather chairs, with individual air-conditioning ducts. It was very comfortable for a trip into the outback!

We passed many interesting sights, and took heaps of photos, as usual. This one was taken from the 4wd was moving, as we were driving up to Cape Tribulation. I get an eerie feeling when I look at this photo for a while. It’s like I’m lost, on the road-side.
