personally, i've never gone on a package tour before. the main difference between a package tour and a free & easy will be the transport arrangement. for a package tour, you are picked up from the airport and sent to the...

applefreak i feel exactly the same way! it's great to not know what i'm going to find the next turn. i've always travelled without taking tour packages. this way i get to learn about the city i visit just like a resident. i've discovered many things that...

applefreak this reminds me of a discussion with my friends. can't remember the exact topic we were discussing but it's something like this. we concluded that it's impossible to describe blue to the blind. it's not about accepting a view or understanding the other party's...

I always seem to be asking myself why some if not most people think that success is just about money. We have all seen movies and shows and there are even books that tell you that success is just not about the money. That's what I...

I have found a hotel in Bangkok where we want to live when we visit Bangkok. It is not close to the sights that we want to visit. In order to get to the sights we have to catch a sky train and then we need to use the subway. After...

applefreak my girl has been with me for the past thirteen years. i think she is about 66 years old in human age. she has never been allergic to anything and we did not introduce anything new in her environment. this is why i was rather skeptical of the allergy...

My daughter asked me this Friday when we were on our way to her dad's and I couldn't to save the life of me think of an acceptable answer. She was very matter of fact about it too..lol. She began by asking me about speed limits...

applefreak hi pyewacket, yes it's been quite some time. my mum was hospitalise for three months so i'm not on most of the time. i guess, to me at least, health is more important than anything else. if you have to eat tons of unhealthy food and suffer diseases as a...

I was watching a re-run of Smallville. In this episode, Clark met an old lady who is blind when he did some volunteer work. And she has this gift. A gift that allows her to have glimpses of the future. She told her story of...

In the same episode of Smallville, the old man that fell into the lake, laced with Kyptonite, became young. Young like he was, 60 years ago. In the show, he decided to seek revenge on the people who did him wrong all those...

applefreak hmm it seems hard for people to learn to let go. i've had my fair share of disappointment and hurt. however, i realise that the only person hurt is myself. hanging on to the hatred and sorrow doesn't make things better. slowly i learnt how to let it go and not...

applefreak if it's just a premonition and i can change the outcome, i might actually want it. i had this discussion not too long ago with a friend. not the premonition part, but the giving-up one of my five senses part. i'd most likely to give up my hearing, amongst...

applefreak it's really sad how the drive for 'excellence' has caused us to lose sight of everything else. the focus on effectiveness and efficiency has reduced us to mere robots. we do thing without thinking what impact it'll have on the people around...
