Beneath the Glow of the Eiffel Tower
In: France|Travelogue
26 Nov 201114 November 2011, 06:18 We fly through the darkness, where time is crossed and changed and set our internal clocks haphazardly. Lights twinkled below as we flew high above the sleeping cities of the Middle East and Western Europe. A bald Frenchman with pierced eyebrows and ears sat diagonally across from Daphne and blew his [...]
From A Claustrophobic Cubicle in Japan
In: Japan|Tokyo|Travelogue
8 Jul 2011My first brush with all things Japanese involved an obaasan talking to me in Japanese at the airport yesterday. We’ve already checked in and were one of the first few at the gate, and from what remnants of Japanese that I could remember or muster, I gathered that what she was really asking was whether we were waiting there at the final room before the gate opened or not. Initially I couldn’t understand her at all and replied in English, “Sorry?”, and then finally with the Japanese “Aa hai hai”. lol. [...]
Explore. Dream. Discover.
In: Malaysia|Travelogue
5 Sep 20106pm ticked past last Thursday evening, and I went out to get my car contemplating a quick nap. But the interior of my car proved too hot to provide any restful means so I decided to just try and acquire GPS satellite signals for my phone which proved to be at least a 15-minute endeavour. [...]
Memory scraps
9 Aug 2010I rediscovered several short journals I wrote in my phone’s Microsoft OneNote a few days ago, after thinking that I have lost them when I flashed a new firmware a while back and essentially decimated my phone’s entire contents. But lo and behold they were safe and sound within the backup sanctuary of Microsoft MyPhone, [...]
A moment to seize
In: General|Laos|Travelogue
4 Jul 2010How do you seize a moment so perfect? Swinging lazily on a blue hammock in a shady hut with a couple of friends on a Saturday afternoon in Laos, talking about life, laughing and joking, overlooking the Nam Song (Song River) with passing kayakers and travellers in a tube and browned Laotian kids chasing after [...]
Day 5 – Friday, 20th November 2009 I woke up at 5 in the morning, and noticed that Jeremy wasn’t in his bed. But after I showered and ate my breakfast and I re-entered our dorm room at about 6am, he was already in bed. He noticed me despite my best at trying to keep [...]
Kelip-kelip at Kuala Selangor
10 May 2010My trip to Kuala Selangor began with Siew picking me up at nearly 6pm sharp, who already had May Peng in the car. We then picked up Tomoko and Ben (who were all like “I’m so glad you’re here Clem, so we don’t need to share seats with Gopi” hahaha) and headed towards Jerm’s place, [...]
So, after four whole months of abandoning my New Zealand posts mid-way, I’m taking steps to rectify this. Opening that little black journal made me dive into my memories again, seeing the emotions eloping through the carefully written words that I’ve written mostly before I went to sleep on a particular day. It’s been wild. [...]
Brunei Day 4-5: Ulu Temburong National Park
In: Brunei|Travelogue
14 Apr 2010Day 4 – Wednesday, 13th January 2010 It began to rain in the wee hours of the morning, and part of my sub-consciousness must’ve heard the rain battering our roof and everything around us that I began to feel even lazier and ignored my alarm. Not to mention that I slept a little late having [...]
Brunei Day 2-3: The mirror of the gods
In: Brunei|Travelogue
5 Apr 2010Day 2 – Monday, 11th January 2010 #1 This was shot during my second night in Brunei, and I had somehow missed putting it up altogether despite already writing about my first and second night there—so here it goes, a brightly lit night shot of the Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque. #2 Desmond and I continued [...]
