Around the world for anyone?

Interested in a round the world trip but think its impossible?

Think again.

Let me give you a quick guide on how easy it takes one to do this, as well as answer all your dying questions:

1. Time

You want to see the world but with 14 days annual leave in a year, you ask me how is it ever going to be possible?

Simple. Break your round the world trip in parts. You don't need to see the world at one go, you won't enjoy much of it anyway.

My traveling tip for those who are tight on time, will be to travel by region. Start with Asia (because I'm from Singapore, do so accordingly to wherever you stay) and move around year by year. Saves you money this way too!

2. Modes of transportation

Nowadays we are able to travel round the world through anyway we dream of - either sea, air or land with the help of the advancement in technologies!

Traveling in budget has been the easiest and quickest ticket out from ones home land for their overseas experience, at least for countries nearby. I recommend Scoot (http://www.flyscoot.com/index.php/en/) as well as Air Asia (https://airasia.com/) for Asian countries.

For those willing to travel further (and pay more) you can try any of the 28 airlines from star alliances (http://m.staralliance.com/portal/home.do?l=en_US). You would be surprised how far you can go.

For those ego prefer sailing around the world, there are many well know cruise companies like star cruises (http://m.starcruises.com/en/home.aspx) and Royal Caribbean cruises (http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ports/group/home.do?portCode=SIN) that can help you as well.

3. Money

It's definitely gonna be costly for a round the world trip. The key is to plan and save in advance. Booking during promotional periods can save alot.

Else, entering a contest to win a trip could also solve the problem (nothing wrong getting Lady Luck to help right?)

Or, you could also try these methods - http://www.vergemagazine.com/articles/budget-traveller/15-ways-to-travel-for-free-or-at-least-cheap.html

4. Reason

Everyone needs a reason to travel. Why don't you make it a "just because" excuse rather than something fancy yet easily forgotten "bucket list"

So go ahead, take a break and go round the world like you should. Need more help? Read more at : http://www.lonelyplanet.com/europe/travel-tips-and-articles/76922

What will you do to find out if your crush is into you?

well..

the logical answer is...

ASK HIM/HER DIRECTLY!!

but not many of us are too brave to do so right?


so the next do-able set of answers will be:

1) ask his/her friends
2) stalk his friendster/facebook/blog/msn or wat have u to see if there is any changes or updates
3) give hints
4) send him quizzes on love to do
5) follow email advises to tell if he/she is into you

Here's one example to tell if a girl likes you:

(If they stop and look at you ... if they look at you a lot ... if they laugh at your jokes ... if they gaggle and act like drunk crazy girls.)

6) post questions in yahoo answers.
7) check his/her hp on how they saved your name
8) force them to like you
9) joke about you liking him and wait for a response
10)hypnotise them to like you.


ok enough of fooling around..

the right way that I sincerely suggest for you to find out would be:

Asking him or her out

I always recommend that you simply ask the person out, before it drives you crazy. It at least shows that you are serious.

If they say no, then it is their loss.

And if they say yes, then, well it can be the start of something beautiful.

Asking them out via their friends is simply a cowardly way to do it.

So go on, bite the bullet and ask her/him out today!

Its valentine's day around the corner.. so bring your potential date out soon..

who knows what will happen :)

this is love contest by nuffnang and nike women

Well to be really honest, I am one of those girls who really really really hate sports.

However, my beloved had a great idea of using sports to grow our love.

aww how sweet right?

well are you curious to know what we did?

well shall i tell u more about mount faber.

we love love love HIKING.

and we went to mout faber for a mini hike.

Hiking is a sports, NO?

well to me it is because it involves walking

with the specific purpose of exploring and enjoying the scenery.

It usually takes place on trails in rural or wilderness areas.

its proven that walking is a form of excercise.

and yes,

i know mount faber may not be ur average mountains

but its the closest we can get here in singapore.

so we started by gearing up.

it starts with the shoes.

yes for a beginner,

i learnt that wearing comfortable shoes

can make that hike an enoyable one.

next we needed lots of............

water.

water helps us to stay hydrated

as well as the feel cool when sun shines on us.

then we need need need..

shades!

our poor eyes needs to be protected from the awful rays of sun right.

yes, hence u see us in our UV protected shades.

couples can wear matching ones to look uber cute together. =D

haha.

ok back to the hike.




as you can see it was a long long long way up.

approximately 1hr or so.

it was so fun.

we were talking,

we were laughing

and stuff.

as you can guess,

i was too busy snapping shots while embarking my way up.

=D

hehe pics always makes explaining easy.

tada! this is the top of mount faber.

We got so tired and started to rest here.




beautiful aint it?

=)

and when u have rested enough its time for some venturing.

and when its time to go home, all the memories are stored in our minds and heart.

we smile strolling back.

and when ur too tired to walk,

ur beloved can do like what mine did.

yes,

he gave me a piggyback all the way down.

so sweet right.

THIS is one sport we love to do. HIKE!

its so easy that everyone from young to old can do.

and it does make u happy inside.

so smile, take ur hiking gear with u and bring ur love one for a hike.

it will do wonders to your health as well as ur love.

=)

SYNOPSIS OF NATIONAL TREASURE 2

In this follow up to the box-office hit National Treasure, treasure hunter Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) once again sets out on an exhilarating, action-packed new global quest to unearth hidden history and treasures. When a missing page from the diary of John Wilkes Booth surfaces, Ben's great-great grandfather is suddenly implicated as a key conspirator in Abraham Lincoln's death. Determined to prove his ancestor's innocence, Ben follows an international chain of clues that takes him on a chase from Paris to London and ultimately back to America. This journey leads Ben and his crew not only to surprising revelations but to the trail of the world's most treasured secrets.
