without a guide...

In my impending spectacular act, random and unexpected, I won’t dub it adventurous, not just yet. I’ll know in two weeks time. I have decided to book a flight from Brunei to Kuala Lumpur – Vietnam – Lao – Cambodia. I just hope my so called 'stunt' won’t backfire on me. I know its madness, well for me it is. I have done nothing close to this before. Staying in Tokyo/Chiba for a month and taking the bus from Singapore -Johor Bahru -Kuala Lumpur then a train to Ipoh then renting a car and driving to Penang were in my checklist for the most exploratory thing I’ve done. Lately, I’ve been feeling rather meh, I figure it’s got a lot to do with the journey. Trying to plot my route with domestic flights and buses, not even thinking of trying out the crazy boat rides where you cram 30 people in a tiny wooded boat with their entire luggage. So yeap, I’ve been burdening myself with too much googling getting restless the day after triggering the snizz’cold.

I’ll take you down with the travel costs:

2 Guests, Return tickets from Brunei – Kuala Lumpur B$706
2 Guests, One way ticket from Kuala Lumpur – Ho Chi Minh MY$591
2 Guests, One way ticket from Phnom Penh – Kuala Lumpur US$210
Bus tickets to Vientiane and Phnom Penh $?

To my dear friends telling me of 'CK, what sorta stunt are you pulling? Look what happened to Bangkok and Mumbai!'. Worry not missy(s),I'll be fine. In the mean time I have to get back to racing with my iron board in my spare bedroom which is my walk-in closet. Should see the mountain high pile of washing. No wonder my cupboards are empty. It’s all on the floor. I want to sack this lousy amah of mine…problem is…It’s ME!
