Fortis and Spes

Part II I can't recall how Sydney Kingsford Smith International airport arrival hall looks like from the inside, I can only remember the waves of the ocean at the nearby bay before the plane landed, exiting the immigration gantry and queueing up to get a sim. It was a Wednesday morning, around 10am, Sydney time, and there were 50 over people waiting to get their sim. I saw someone purchasing 3 sim card as he had 2 phones and an iPad. I'd really love to interrupt and suggest to just use tethering so he does not have to take more time in purchasing multiple sim, and save money as well. Among the tourist, who can use 2GB in a single day? Certainly not me as I'd be spending time wandering around appreciating the view and ingest ... read more

If you have not read my previous blog "Dear Thailand, When I said I'll Be Back, I Meant It. and I'm Bringing More.", here is a short intro. My first trip in March 2015 inspired me to list things I would do this year as well as help me find my passion: Traveling and Inspiring others.

Poignant days come by. You feel down, stuck and suffocated. Fresh air could be something surreal at this moment - a companion / confidant. A step off your bed is a mile worth of energy (E=mc2). And so you lay, your soul travels the depth of unknown solemnity. Next thing you knew you are reaching for your phone and browsing familiar names. This was how my day started. I have not visited this state for a while now and I know it's not productive. I dragged my self and grabbed my pen and started writing my daily desire list. It's my daily journal where I write what I wanted my subconscious mind to pick up, it's like reprogramming yourself and mindset. One of my favourite is the phrase "Now is the right time", I have written ... read more

My love for travel started when I went to Bangkok in March 2015 to attend an expo, BIFF and BIL(Bangkok Internation Fashion Fair and Bangkok International Leather Fair. It is an annual event in Bangkok where buyers, manufacturers and suppliers come to boost their business or to establish connections for future expansions. Some attendees are startups, like me, who wanted to find better options or other opportunites. Me and a friend wanted to start a business on bags so it interests me to attend. It was supposed to be a solo flight but on the day before my flight I was chatting with a friend and mentioned about my trip. Out of nowhere I asked her if she wanted to come along so I won't be alone. Told her I've already booked the hotel so she ... read more
