“One of our captured officers, my Lord.”

I can still remember this scene in Mel Gibson’s movie, The Patriot, where he freed some of the captured militia without sweat due to his clever ploy. It was brilliant and well-planned that it was quite a feat.

Traveling is also a battleground, at least to me. Its victory relies on scheming and proper use of weapon.

With our status of Noviceship in this field of traveling, how did we then manage to win our 4-countries-in-11-days tussle against a Php 20,000 budget and endless scams? No, we did not use guns and knives.

KUALA LUMPUR IN ONE DAY

March 29, 2012 | 18

Deprived of money and time? Kuala Lumpur may seem like a big city but it takes just a pair of brawny legs, a few Ringgit, and a big water bottle to visit its most popular spots in one day. Rowjie and I successfully did it. Check out my list of what to visit or do in KL without spending that much. Below is a map of Kuala Lumpur, which will aid you during the tour.

CHINATOWN

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

夫人,這裡便宜的餐!- Whatever that means.

It’s pretty obvious that Chinatown is inevitable, it’s everywhere! If you’ve been to a Chinatown before regardless of your location, then you’d know what to expect. Located in the very heart of Pasar Seni‘s Jalan Petaling, KL’s Chinatown is pretty much the same with what we have in the country: Chinese people, loads of cheap items, street food, LV replicas, and a lot more. Some of KL’s most inexpensive hotels and lodges can also be found here. And what to do best in KL’s Chinatown? Food trip! You can satisfy your hungry stomachs with delectable meals for as low as RM8.30 just like what I had for breakfast, a Chinese-style chicken rice with milk tea.

December 31, 2011 | 0

If there’s one word that best describes my 2011, it’s definitely EPIC.

I’m too occupied to write a long timeline and so I just compiled photos of my 2011 travels and shenanigans.

FIRST FLY WITH AIRASIA

December 1, 2011 | 7

What would you first think of if AirAsia mentions you on Twitter?

MissBackpacker | Where Have You Been Lately?

First thought was I’d be flying to Kuala Lumpur. Second, I would bring Rowjie with me. Third, two VVIP tickets to 2PM’s concert. Fourth, who the eff are they?

WANTED: COIN HOARDER

November 18, 2011 | 8

Lately, I’ve been pretty hooked to a TV series called Hoarders (see About.com’s definition below). There, you’ll see several types of hoarding; food, clothes, books, utensils, junk, and a lot more.

  • acquiring and failing to throw out a large number of items that would appear to have little or no value to others (e.g., papers, notes, flyers, newspapers, clothes)
  • severe cluttering of the person’s home so that it is no longer able to function as a viable living space
  • significant distress or impairment of work or social life
