Lilypie 2nd Birthday Ticker

3D/3N Ipoh & Penang - Free & Easy + Lazy package

March 30, 2006

I love to plan for holidays and come up with the itinerary. Doing all the research, with the very handy Google is fun and allow me to distract myself from my job (for a while) - can also train my multitasking skill. Sometimes I find it more fun doing the itinerary than the actual holiday, cause in my imagination, the holiday is always perfect :)

Sunny blue skies, perfect beach, fun games with friends and delicious food
