Post travel blues

How do you beat the post-travel blues? http://www.lonelyplanet.com/round-the-world-travel/best-of-round-the-world-travel/content/travel-tips-and-articles/76399 This happened to me all the times.. Bila dah balik tu rasa terus tak semangat..especially bila nak pergi kerja balik.... Ahhh stresss...(tone Kang Gary) Post travel blues ni not only immediately lepas balik travel but can prolong sampai months..contohnya macam sekarang ni..tengah blues la ni..symptoms 1) depression 2) not motivated 3) reminisce about previous travel (nothing can beat the feeling..the adrenaline... The pleasure of travelling..) 4) cranky But as what lonely planet has suggested... Banyak je activiti2 yang boleh kita buat utk atasi blues ni.. Plan for next travel or buat poyo je jadi tourist kat tempat sendiri..actually banyak je tempat2 yang menarik boleh explore kat rumah sendiri... Revisit... Maybe gunung yg kitapernah pergi kat belakang rumah tu dah berubah ke skang ni or still the same so that you

taken from my old blog post Date:29dec 2012 I don't know how heaven looks like.. If I Mulu was near-heaven, Subhanallah, I could not imagine how real Heaven will be.. Mulu adventure with Kpah.. It is a continuous of our looong journey, started from Ho Chi Minh City then to Mulu. Subsequently we both attended Chai Lee and Joon Thian's reception in Kuching.  We initially planned to go to Bario since Fahmy our friend is there, kinda like to give him a visit aka having a tour of Bario ourselves but had to cancel in the last minute because we couldn't get any ticket. Devastated initially but no more when we stepped down at Mulu National Park. We have been to Niah and Bako, Mulu is so far the best!!! 1) Mulu what we have learned that - Mulu is just a small kampong that you can just walk around - Mulu doesn't have town! We asked one of the locals to how to get to town, she smiled and answered "there is no town. there is only national park!" O

This time is all about reunion with ex housemates, ex colleagues, ex Kuchingites On 28th September till 2nd October, 3 of us; KakPah, Jihah and I took an unforgettable trip together to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) Like what? Vietnam? Never heard of you talking about Vietnam before. Not even in places-i-want-to-go-before-i-die list. But, why not. Started when I received from KP that she and Jihah planned to have a trip to Vietnam, how can I say no. I took a very very long holiday for this. My boss and colleagues are not happy for this but what i can say now is....Sorry.. Initially plan was Ho Chi Minh trip then Bario for a short visit then to Chai Lee's reception on 9th October. We could only plan, but God has prepared better plan for us. Better! Took off from LCCT at 705am again with Air Asia because Everyone Can Fly.

Zedzians Rocked HongKong Shenzhen - The goodbye

taken from my old blog date: 16july 2012 Day 5 - Waving goodbye to Hong Kong and Shenzhen We woke up very late since we didn't have any tour plan in the morning. We packed our bags and had breakfast in our rooms. By afternoon, we had a simple lunch at nearby halal cafe where Ami mistaken a chinese noodle as spaghetti bolognese. the taste was not that bad. Our flight was at 6pm. We went to HongKong Airport from Shenzhen by boat! Ibu said it was fun that she was able to ride on a plane, then train and now boat! I was a bit worried because I was scared that we may not be able to make it in time. But we were earlier than expected. And we had some time to go around the big airport, and bought some gifts for my lovely nieces and nephews back home at Disney shop. We enjoyed the view of planes landing and taking off. As usual, Air Asia was delayed. We waved Hong Kong goodbye and welcome back our lovely home, Malaysia.. Zedzians had lots and lots and lots of fun a

taken from the old post Date: 16th July 2012 Sorry for the long silent, with hectic days at work with lots of annoying things happened lately, I forgot to continue with the trip. Lets continue Day 4 (25th June 2012) Gooood Morning Shenzen!!! At 4th day of the trip, we could feel our body gave up on us. All those muscle sores, felt like want to tear them apart. But trip must go on. We had breakfast at the hotel. I was so shockingly happy that they served sweet potato for breakfast! All of us only had bread and butter. Nancy picked us up at about 9am. We went to Jade Museum. It was kind of like the Jewelry museum aka shop that we went in Hong Kong. We learned a lot of new things about Jade; how to determine a good expensive jade etc. After that quick lesson about jade, we were ushered to the next room where they sell all types of jade. Jade earrings, jade necklace and jade and jade and jade! Ibu bought piece of pendant and ring to be made as pusaka and will be dip

taken from old blog post Date: 28th June 2012 so the story continues 24th June 2012 3rd day of the trip. We were all tired from the fun that we had in Disneyland. We received a message from our tour guide through the hotel receptionist. It was sooooo Google translate. His name was Peter and he would fetch us by 11am for city tour and Victoria peak tour. So we took our sweet time to pack our things, enjoy our breakfast and we checked out from the hotel by 11am. we toured with a coach van with another group of people? The other group was from Philippines. What was this? I wasn't happy. I asked Peter since that we are this late, can we skip other places like the Jade museum and the Aberdeen fishing village and go to Victoria Peak straight away. He refused. Since he brought other group for city tour so he must be fair to other group too. We were all disappointed with the service. Don't have him again for your tour guide! First we went to Aberdeen fish villa
