2. I hope I can still go online in Cambodia but if I can't, that's all right cos I need a break away from computers and internet!
3. There are two things I hate about traveling. The first is packing. I am just so tired with packing! If only there is someone to do the packing for me! Haha! The second is flying. Not that I hate flying but I hate the hassles before I get onto the plane and after I landed!
4. I haven't finished blogging about my China trip last year, and here I am off again to another destination. Would you like me to continue with my China posts or should I put it on hold and blog about my Cambodia trip when I return? Personally, I prefer to finish my China posts first. It had taken way too long!!
5. I love taking naps in the afternoon! But I can only take short 20 minutes nap. Anything longer and I would end up waking up drowsy! Now how am I going to get my afternoon nap while traveling in Cambodia?
6. Have you all watched Salt starring Angeline Jolie? The movie officially starts showing in the cinemas today. Guess what? I have watched it! Don't ask me how. Haha! And I have already done a review of the movie and had scheduled the post to be out in 2 days time, so watch out for it!
7. Since I am away on holiday, I would like to have a contest here on my blog. The contest is simple and fun. All you need to do is to leave your comments on this post and the next post. The top 3 readers with the most comments will win prizes from me!
8. Among the prizes is a book sponsored by booqc.com. Go visit this site now and tell me if you like shopping for books there!
9. I will reveal the other two prizes later. I want to keep it a surprise!! Haha!

First!
Have a great trip to Cambodia and Redang, Foong!
You buy the movie at Pasar Malam izit? That's how you managed to see Salt early. XD

another getaway which means you don't need to look for other blogging content. You have another two years of content to blog :p
Have a nice trip eh~
Holiday again? How nice....
Enjoy your trip. And I must agree too...that I just hate flying and anything to do with planes.
Can show me other attractions besides Annkor Wats in Cambodia or not,,,, may be a little unusual than the usual stuffs there,,, the funny cultures, things we are not aware of in Cambodia, or some posh hotels there,(pictures please)
do take care and drink a lot of water when travelling,take the vitamims cos weather now is rather erratic, ya.
take care now ,enjoy and god bless
Wah! so envy. You are going for a holiday again!!!!
1) You have planned for a back to back holiday. How I wish I could do that too but ....it is just a dream. ;( . i love Redang. Calm and beautiful sea makes me a happy person. hehe
2)Can survive without the Internet? hehe.....yalar...better take a break and MIA from the Internet temporary.
3)Doesn't packing make you excited for your trip? I love packing but hate unpacking. And yes...the hassle in taking a flight. So leceh.
4) wah! still not yet finish blogging about the China trip? That's a long story.
5)Errmm....maybe can nap during the bus / van ride from 1 place to another? But if it is just a short ride, than u really got to skip your nap.
6) Ohh...you won the screening preview from nuffnang? or u downloaded from the Internet? hehe After having that 2 kids, I hardly got a chance to step into the cinema. :(
7) U r creative in doing contest for your blog. Always plan during your holidays! I'm joining and that's y I'm leaving so many comments in your blog! hehehe....
8) Aiyah.....i'm lazy to read. The last book I read was like 8 years ago. And that 1 book took me nearly 1 year to finish up. Now, I only read for my kids.
9) I hope the other 2 prizes are not books! ;D Will they be souvenir from your holidays? Hmm.....
10) Wah...u r so generous. The contest even open for Intl readers.
This is my 1st time leaving so many comments on a blog after been in the blogging world for almost 2 years. haha.....Now I know spamming is so fun!
Shall wait for your next post and will leave more comments. :D
Btw, enjoy yourself !
Wow in cambodia. I hope to visit that part of Asia. You schedule is very full
I don't online when I am on holiday too. If you find me dissappear for too long, it means I am on holiday. Or post holiday.
I hate packing too. And unpack. I usually left it last minute.
Always end up forgot some stuff. Last trip to Sabah, I brought my laptop but forgot my charger.
You have to make some notes about those postponed post. If not, maybe will forget out some details.
I actually phobia to airport. Whenever I am at airport I can feel restless and bit depressed.
You have to make some notes about those postponed post. If not, maybe will forget out some details.
the china post must be as long as the Great Wall of China. Many people go to China nowadays.
can sleep in between destination in car. But can miss out interesting view during the journey.
Traveling is always very exhausting. It is like torturing ourselves instead of pleasuring. Unless you stay there for one month. then can enjoy the place slowly.
I get drowsy too from sleeping too long, but there are exception when I am very tired.
Have not watch any new movie. Wanting to watch inception but too busy with swimming.
Wow. how many scheduled posts u wrote? I rarely have scheduled post.
New interesting blog. Actually not a fan of online shopping. Prefer to touch the book before buying.
Bookshop is my main stop if I go shopping. But usually end up not buying any book.
Recently trying to find a book, maybe will try to find it in the site you gave. A book wrote by a man.
I want to win this contest. So kiasu now. hahaha. 1st time join your blog contest. Wonder what are the other prize
I am qualified for your contest because I am very Malaysian, All my comments longer than 8 words and relevant.
I guess your next post is about review of the new movie, Salt by Angelina Jolie?
Lastly have to praise the blogger, the cute panda, to get a nice prize. Happy holiday to you!

Aloha from Waikiki
Comfort Spiral
wah lau...so many spammers comments...LOL
cambodia? my mom told me that the speed limit is 40km/h everywhere?? LMAO tell me about it when u get back here
yeah..i hate packing for travelling too...LOL
wow, cool!! going to Cambodia and somemore spanning 6 days!!
actually i would have expected that, because i remember you said earlier you are going on for a holiday..
my last visit to Cambodia is only 4D3N in Siem Reap.. and now you are taking another 3 days at Phnom Penh..
and i heard there's actually nothing much to see in Phnom Penh, other than the museum..
but i heard they have Abercrombie & Fitch tees selling at only USD2~~ very cheap!!
hoooh!! so you are going to Redang straight away after Cambodia huh?? you are superb man~~
so how many days will you be staying in Redang?? another 4 days??
nice to go on holidays again..so hv a nice n enjoyable one..take care
aiks, you know what?? actually i've been planning to go Redang.. but still have not been there after many years of talking..
but i guess the best time to go Redang is ending soon right?? hmmm, maybe next year then~~
hahaha, another next year!! really wonder when will i really be there to fulfill my promise?? kekeke~~
looks like we have a few things in common Foong. i hate packing as well as unpacking. i don't like flying either coz i'm afraid to experience air turbulence or rough landings. going through frequently security checkpoints at some airports can be a huge hassle too.
Angkor wat sounds like an amazing place to visit. i oso wanna visit.
Bon voyage!
hmmm, i don't think you can get internet access easily in Cambodia, unless you pay for usage in internet cafe lor..
or maybe if you are staying in 5-star hotels, i guess they should have free internet access for you..
but frankly, do you really need to go online when you are travelling??
are you planning to do some blogging, or check your company email?? or just cannot bear with days without updating your status in twitter?? :D
come on, just give yourself a break from computers and internet, for just a week ok??
oh, kind of nice, because my FB won't be flooded by your constant updates already.. kekekeke~~ :D
Panda, have to practice strict discipline from going online. Don't be tempted by twitter to online.
No need to worry about your comment spamming because we will sure spam it very well.
You only need to concentrate on buying souvenir for your best spammer. *hint* hint*
No need to nap la during holiday. See more :)
I used to go on a site where you could post notes. Like, you could customize the way the note would look and then they would show up on your profile..
my friends have all these crazy random facebook notes and idk where they got them! does anyone have a fun and random one?
only two things you hate about travelling?? hmmm, what about UNPACKING when you back home??
to me packing and unpacking are things i don't like.. but compared to packing, i guess unpacking is even worse..
always have to think what to bring, and whether i'm bringing enough when packing..
hmmm, come to think about it, maybe unpacking is not as worse yeah?? cos just clean everything and put the clothes to washing machine.. haha!!
anyway, i think we cannot hate those mandatory activity since we are going on for holiday..
just think of the bright and happy side, don't let those little chores affect the mood.. agree??
then we talk about flying.. i think i'm ok with all those hassle, but i guess i'm quite afraid of long haul flight..
instead i enjoy short haul flight like couple of hours.. get onboard, and within a wink we're there at the destination.. the feeling is kind of wonderful don't you think??
but no choice, if you want to visit another country overseas, guess this is just the option you have.. unless you are Doraemon, can go anywhere you like through that door~~ :p
i remember flying to London with AirAsia last year.. can you imagine that 13 hours flight, in an AirAsia plane??
i think since i survive through that flight, i guess i can easily get myself onto any other flights.. hahahaha!! true~~ :p
but then i guess flying to Cambodia is like 2 hours flight?? oh, that's peanuts, just very quick..
oh, i suddenly remember the worst should be packing to go home in the hotel.. hahaha!! most of the time, you'll have problem stuffing in things because you bought lots of things in the trip..
and with the packing for home, means your holiday is ending and you are about to go back and face the real world.. sad huh??
What the heck? Now you are not in Malaysia? Again...wow....you really like traveling huh! :D
Now you are on your way to Cambodia? Wow..you will be gone for at least 1 week then...more than 6 days right? War....
Then you will go to Redang and snorkel? Wow...you are really enjoying your life huh bro. :) Good! Good!
But I thought the corals are bleaching...you guys aren't supposed to go there o. :p
Aiyah. Later when you are at Cambodia don't need to go online lar. Just enjoy your holiday lar. :D
Yeah! The two things that you mentioned must be hated by all travelers especially the part where you have to wait for 2 hours and after you landed. What a hassle! :/
You have really dragged to long bro. :p I thing you should write them faster when you come back later. You know lar...sometimes if you drag too long...there's no more surprise and we will not get excited anymore. Hahaha :D
Who doesn't love taking nap bro? I wish I can take naps every single day too.
Aiyah! When you are in Cambodia...don't need to take nap lar. It's not like everyday you get to go somewhere else right? :p
War..you have already watched it? Surely watched the pirated version heh bro. Bad panda! :D
Ouh...you have even included a review? Good. Let's see if it is good or not. But then again...could the one you watch was not of high quality because...you know...
Ouh...so this is another for contest again post lar? War...no wonder. Well...I have always leave lots of comments here. :p
So if I win...it will be just a bonus.
I also wanna travel like u T T
how many leave a year foong? you seem to really enjoy the holiday :) how envy i could be.
i haven't been to Redang. i heard it's cool. what about Perhentian? i went to Tioman before, and it was a great experience of course :)
wow quite a traveler u r. i am commentor number 100 lucky me :)
This is comment #101 so it'll probably get lost in the bag! No matter. Just want to wish you Happy Angkor Watting and Redanging! haha..
Have fun and take care!
Hassles before flying is better than having a noisy neigbour on plane
It is a taboo to critize anyone at departure hall. that person may end up sitting beside you.
Now you remind me how I miss snorkeling. I want to go snorkeling....
If not mistaken I have been to Redang around 4 years ago. Their jetty was under renovation. Very disappointing.
So you are not going to Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum? To know more about khmer Rouge history?
How did you manage to travel to so many places without running out of money?
wow cambodia!!! have fun there ok? going to redang as well??
yeah yeah yeah, we all know you are very long winded.. as if your China trip last for one whole year.. hahahaha!!
actually another suggestion is to summarize your trip, you don't have to talk about every details and every meals you have..
just my thot, the more you blog about the same place, the more bored your readers get.. just my point of view, but this is your blog and you have every rights to do what you like~~ :)
or maybe you want to start a new blog specially dedicated to your trips, since you're an avid traveller??
guess with a themed blog, you'll have more people who are interested in travelling reading your posts..
because i still prefer reading your random posts, haha!! see, i can leave so many comments here..
anyway, i think you should try to finish your China posts first before starting off with your Cambodia post..
since it's so long ago, and i think it's good to bring it to a happy ending.. then start with Cambodia!!
btw, how many more posts do you plan to write about your China trip?? make sure you finish it by this year, hahaha~~
i'm actually looking forward to your Cambodia post already.. because i've been there, and it would somehow bring back some rendevouz~~ should be fun reading them..
from Cambodia to redang.. you are having a good life there Panda :)
I dunno Panda can snorkel.. i tot Panda is afraid of water :P
enjoy your trip to cambodia. As i know, there are a lot of temples you can visit.
it is good to have a break!
Good to hear that you organise a contest again like what u did last time - when you travel to bali.
This time, i can see SK, Tekkaus & Ghost work very hard to leave more n more comments.
I wish they success to obtain the valuable gift from you.
enjoy your holiday, panda !
wow redang! i am so jealous! i need a break.. by the sea.. feeling the breeze.. bask in the sun.. :P
damn.
what?!! after so many china postings, you still have not finished on teh china post?!! OMG!!
I can't help but salute SK! This comment box is literally filled with his comments! Hahaha..
Anyway, you're traveling to so many places in a short time! Flying from here to there! Ahh.. Redang too! But wait, I thought the authorities have already closed off a few islands including Redang recently? Did you hear about that?
yeah, afternoon nap?? hahaha, i think it's a good one, especially when there's nothing much to do at home..
but how come only 20 minutes?? that's really short i guess.. to me, maybe 2 hours will be ideal..
hmmmm, come to think of it, i think a nap after breakfast is actually nice..
imagine one nice weekend morning, you wake up as usual early in the morning..
and then you wash up and go out for a nice and cosy breakfast, the kind of breakfast you'd never have enough time to enjoy during weekdays..
and then back home feeling so satisfied with the breakfast, you feel a bit "sugar rush", so you go take a nap..
and i suppose during that hour, the weather is still cooling and can easily fall into sleep.. how nice!!
i think after this power nap in the morning, you won't feel drowsy but instead very energetic..
compared to an afternoon nap, i guess the longer you sleep the drowsier you'd be after wake up..
that's what i feel, but no idea why.. maybe because of the metabolism rate is higher in the afternoon??
and that in the morning, your body is still not totally wake up and that's why more suitable for a nap?? hahaha~~ :D
so, you are planning to take your afternoon nap in cambodia?? haha.. how can that be?? i thot you will be busy visiting Angkor Wat??
but since you say you only nap for 20 minutes, i guess there should not be any problem to squeeze out that tad little time from your schedule..
wait.. i think i did have an afternoon nap during my visit to Siam Reap last time.. because the weather is too hot, it makes me feel drowsy after Angkor Wat, so went back to nap in the hotel..
and later in the evening, went for a massage, and slept again because it's so comfortable.. hahahahaha!!
Hi everyone! Just a short note from me! Thanks for commenting on my blog. I'm still holidaying but no more in Cambodia. I'll be going Redang tomorrow! Keep the comments coming! You might just be one of the 3 winners!
PS: Oh, don't forget to retweet this post and FB "like" it : )
I kept having long nap these few days, wonder do you still get naps there in Cambodia.
I rarely comment for travel blog, most probably will only see the photos.
Lucky it is only flying within South East Asia, won't have jetlag.
What about immigration at the airport? I don't like those airport where I have to open up my suitcase for checking.
Most of small local airport required to check our luggage manually.
As a lady, there is an advantage at immigration. Immigration guys will reluctant to open my suitcase.
Few times I don't lock my luggage, trick to avoid people digging into our luggage, put lingerie or smelly clothes on top.
Are you travelling with group? It would be nice because you won't be alone.
When I travel alone, I always prepare emergency contact numbers written on a paper and important addresses.
And also prepare enough foreign currency just in case stuck somewhere.
Once I don't have much foreign currency and stuck at Johannesburg, my money just enough for 2 trips to hotel.
You really having a long break from virtual world, or is it no internet there?
I was very busy too, I only comment on your post because of the contest.
[SK] is working very hard to win this contest, and I am not going to lose to him.
I read that the Contest ends at 12am on 7th August 2010. Still a long time before we can stop commenting....
Finally you are back online!! Welcome back! Preparing to explore the water world!
Wow very great collection and all is also very impressive..

Thanks for the post. Have a great trip to Cambodia and Re dang island and best of luck. But when you are back do let us know about your experiences.
Oh wow, what a life! Now you're in Cambodia!
Enjoy your trip and take care foong!
wow..have fun Foong! enjoy urself k :)
hmmm, i still have not watched Salt yet, haha!! though have been planning but still not able to make it..
actually would like to watch Inception first, but this movie always so difficult to get ticket..
when i saw the poster of Salt, i never thought that is Angelina Jolie herself.. doesn't really look like her in the poster..
maybe the angle the photo on the poster makes her lips less thick, that's why not so Angelina Jolie huh?? hahahaha~~
i heard mixture of good and bad reviews about this film.. some said it's nice, but some complained it's boring because they didn't see lots of action..
but i guess Angelina Jolie still has her charm to attract us to go into the cinema and watch her movie right??
Wow, one of your prizes is sponsored by booqc.com. It means something..
You seems like getting famous with your panda face. Even get sponsored.
That site seems to have discount, but I still can't find the book I want.
away on holiday but still updating your foot picture on twitpic?
Not online with internet but stil online with GPRS?
What about updating your blog with your hp with GPRS?
I hope you can get more noon naps now as you are back in Malaysia.
I still have not watch Salt, still too busy with outdoor activities to go cinema.
I have not updating my blog for awhile, I only left comment in your blog because the contest.
Still one day left before you finish you holiday and back to reality?
so you are a big fans of Angelina Jolie?? hehehe, anyway, i think she's a lot more sexy than MC, don't you think so?? :D
ok ok, guess i have to plan to watch this movie.. i think need to book tickets couple of days in advance, else will always end up to no avail..
actually there seem to be quite a lot of nice movies recently, is it because of the summer holidays?? as if i can't find enough time to watch them all.. haha!!
hmmm, i guess maybe i've not even watched the movie yet after you are back from your holidays, haha!! what a shame~~
yeah, another commeting contest again!! i just love this so much, very very much!! hahaha~~
i guess this must be a ritual of your blog whenever you go travelling..
i still remember i missed the Guilin one, but then high-profilely won the Bali one..
oh, and did you still remember which souvenir that i have picked?? hehe, it's the orange artistic portrait!!
but i guess i have got a big rival here!! Ghosty Nana is so determined to win this contest!! gosh..
