Memories of a Lifetime, Set in a New Dawn...

It's the beginning of another year! Let me start by wishing the few readers who still frequent my blog, a wondrous and joyous year!

This year started for me and A with a big bang, literally, as up on one of the highest floors in Kuala Lumpur, we ushered in the new year under a brilliantly lit sky of fireworks and the like! The past year has been quite an eventful one for me! Not only did I get to travel extensively, a dream that is beginning to take fruition with satisfying speeds, but it also gave me the chance to visit exotic lands that I'd only heard of and always hoped to set foot in! Of course, the last trip spilled over to this shiny new year too, and I'm hoping that this year brings many more such expeditions my way!

The tour of Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore has left me craving for more! Although Singapore was almost uncannily similar to my expectations, Thailand proved to be the surprise package! I'm truly spellbound by this unique country, not to mention the diversity that is inherent in its very nature!!!

Singapore was clean and green, almost to a fault! Not that I can ever find fault with such cleanliness! It does falter in some places, but more on that later.

Malaysia somehow serves as an in between in my head! The one thing that comes to my mind when I think about it, is its sprawling expanse! Genting Highlands almost didn't feel like part of that expanse, it was more like a fantasy land, what with its theme parks and casinos, et al!

A good start has this year heralded, and my fingers are tightly crossed for the rest of it! Here's hoping it's as adventurous and exciting as the last!

P.S. Expect to hear/see a lot more about the trip in my forthcoming posts!
