Travelling... to take leave or not?

Sunday, January 29, 2012


Travelling to other countries never fail to amaze me once I set my foot on it. Yes. I admit I can't get enough to see the world around me. This year I haven’t decided where to go but one of the destinations will be to climb Mount Kinabalu.

Maybe I can plan the trip to the mountain at the end of March or early April coz of my study holidays. This year I have lots of remaining leave that I can take but it will be a tough decision either to take it for vacation or to sacrifice it for my exams. Either way, chances of I’m applying it for exams are much higher than to have my vacation. Hmmm…. But… but… I love to have my vacation =(

I have 32 days of leave that I can take for this year. I have 4 exams that will commence March, June, September and December. I have to take at least 3 days for each of my exam month. Remaining? 20 days. Okay… I still have lots of holiday. What’s the big deal? IT IS A BIG DEAL FOR ME coz I want to carry forward 14 days for next year. What’s left for me in the end? 6 days for my vacation… sigh. Seriously 6 days????

I will not hesitate to take unpaid leave too just to have my vacation or for my exams. I don’t really care. Yes. You hear me. I will lose a big chunk of my salary… but I can’t buy time. Can you?

2012...

Happy new year!

2011 has been a great year for me.... I've been through so many ups and downs many times last year. My biggest resolution last year was to stay healthy and involved in many charity events. 

2011 achievements:
- Involved in charity events (HSBC/SCB/Pusat Ehsan). The highest donation I had was more than $100 for Pusat Ehsan. Thanks to all who donate!
- Jog 10km in less than 1 hour during His Majesty B'day Running Competition at Tutong.
- No. 1 in Top 10 ranks for using sportypal app for sports (Brunei). More than 120km covered~
- Went to Bangkok & Pattaya, Thailand (1 of my wishlist to travel around South East Asian countries).
- Enrolled a degree course at IGS (can't wait to finish it in less than 2 years!). Amin!
- Had my first ever solo travel to Boracay Island, Philippines. 
- More projects and responsibilities given at work.

So.... 2012? I have BIGGER dream and as always... EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! :)

It's a good life!

Happy 300th post to my blog! :)
