How 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 11 – 14th December 2007 Whenever I’m exposed to the cold, there is a tendency for me to produce excessive mucus. It’s definitely not because of the flu virus as I had a shot of the vaccine before I left for Laos, but merely a result of a severe cold-unaccustomed boy. Since Northern Laos [...]

Day 8 – 11th December 2007 Woke up to extremely chilly weather that you can practically see the mists a-rolling around the surrounding mountains. The overcast skies made a further impression that it was gonna be cold. We declared today a Rest Day again – fantastic isn’t it that we can just decide not to [...]

Day 5 – 8th December 2007 I woke up at 8am sharp by roosters cahooting their cries. Precisely why I no longer need an alarm clock if you have nature’s best alarm and riser (though annoying) right beneath the window of your room. Today we decided our main activity of the day: tubing. It is [...]

Day 3 – 6th December 2007 Of the four South-east Asian mainland countries that I have visited and travelled through, there’s a wide array of adjectives that can be accorded to them. Cambodia can be described as depressing, Vietnam as thrilling, Thailand as hectic, but there’s a single word that can describe Laos in its [...]

I accidentally deleted one of the two Fangki’s infamous drunken Langkawi videos. T___T Thankfully it was just a shorter version of about 1 minute, depicting him randomly throwing sand behind his back wtf. Tried various recovery options which failed, which saddened me, but I suppose these things do happen sometimes and I shall resign to [...]

Shooting Stars

In: Laos|Travelogue

16 Dec 2007

I saw a shooting star. Its tail blazed with fiery white light across the star-strewn sky from bottom to top for nothing more than 2 seconds, but I knew what I saw. I literally leaped with excitement when I saw it, pulling Siew around to tell him what I saw. But he already knew, as [...]

I seem to have taken my lazy trait along with me back home all the way up north in Laos. Siew and I are probably the two laziest travellers the world has ever met, but we’ve quite good reasons. For instance, when we were having one of the most laidback times ever in Vang Vieng, [...]

I lost my camera. Preceding the incident was of course, when I was geared up and ready to kayak with 4 other participants (including Siew), When all the safety details and instructions were made known to us (which involved terrifying bits of things such as the possibility of being entangled with trees, rushing undercurrents, breaking [...]

From Vientiane

In: Laos|Travelogue

4 Dec 2007

How is Laos? Or accurately, how is Vientiane? My first impression on landing here was definitely that of weather – it’s cooling, definitely hovering around 25 degrees but its purported 15 degrees Celcius at night seems a little incorrect, at least it’s way cooler than Malaysia’s perpetual hot weather. As of writing now I’m somewhat.. [...]

Does killing millions of people to save the lives of other billions justify the action?
