I’m Back From Malaysia & Singapore

Hello everyone! I just got back from my 5 days 4 nights solo trip to Malaysia with a short stop at Singapore. I missed my family, especially my daughter it would have been great if they were with me. Too bad that my best friend couldn’t avail to use the other tickets because she didn’t have her passport yet.  I was lucky to meet some new friends who were staying at the same hotel I was in, they became my travel buddies for a couple of days.

My new found friends, travel buddies and hotel mates Pia and Orlyn they work for an offset printing house in Manila.

I had a blast and honestly getting “lost” in an unfamiliar place is fun but the homesick part is not. I missed the Philippines so bad, except the horrendous traffic and the smog, nothing really beats your own home town.

Anyway, to those who are planning a trip alone or with their family I will be making a post soon about the following.

• How to plan a cheap/inexpensive out-of-the-country tip.
• My Malaysian Escapade (focusing on what to do on your trip to Malaysia, what not and what you should visit, where to eat and where not where to shop how to save a lot of money on your trip)
• My Short $5 Pit Stop to Singapore

For my 5days 4 night trip I spent a total of Php16,115.25 this amount covers all the expenses incurred for the entire trip including roundtrip airfare, hotel accommodation, food and drinks, leisure and tours, souvenirs, taxes and miscellaneous expenses . Not bad right?  Of course!

Highlights of Day 1: Right on my finger tip, the KL Communication Tower , the 5th Tallest Communication Tower in the world.

Highlights of Day 2: The Batu Caves trip the place was over hyped I think , it was so filthy, there were trash everywhere, it was stinking the day I went there . I was badly disappointed, there was a ferris wheel, some tents  food tents and who knows what to find in there!

Highlights of Day 3: a pit stop at the Marina Bay, Merlion statue in Singapore

Highlights of Day 4: The Petronas Twin Towers tour, KLCC and Aquaria.

Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, Japan would be the next in line but this time I will have to make sure that the family will join me! It sucks going home at night in an empty hotel room.

How about you do you have plans for an out-of-the-country trip soon?

Stay gorgeous everyone!
