Travel Tips

I want to throw this Planet Traveller brochure away, so decided to preserve it online:

1. Don't be damp
Crumpled-up newspaper when placed inside luggage will help keep dampness and mildew to a minimum. If your luggage has been stored for quite a while, place it under the sun to air before packing it

2. Roll up and save space
Roll up clothing when packing, it takes up less space and it will help keep wrinkles down. Also, roll socks and underwear up and stuff them inside your shoes

3. Wrinkle-free (& stress-free) garments
Pack clothing that resists wrinkling, such as polyester blends, wool blends, microfibres, silk and rayon. Take dark clothes, they don't show spots or dirt and work for most situations.

4. Pack lightly
To avoid having to bring two pairs of dress shoes, choose one neutral colour and build your wardrobe around it. Similarly, bring one suit and work around it.

5. Don't put all your stuff into one luggage
Carry on your important documents, toiletries, medication and one change of clothes in case your luggage gets lost

6. Test-drive your trolley
Always test-drive your favourite suitcase around the store and look for reinforced corners

7. Stand-out with colours
Consider getting a bag in a bright colour to help distinguish your bag from others on the conveyor belt

The rest of the stuff is mostly known and common-sense.

oh wow the previous post was my 100th post. Century! And it was not very informative :P

Anyway, my life is status quo right now. Nothing to update hehe. GOODNIGHT FOLKS!

nutti's described our in-Singapore CNY beautifully: SUPER SUMMARY HERE

and vidhu's got a shortened version which she wanted to use as a fb status, but was rejected hehe: FAILED FB STATUS HERE

I'm too sleepy to write anything out now. But it's been an absolutely awesome 2 days of hanging out, yakking, etc. Love my g12 family so much!

i love the rain, now that i'm home only. PERFECT for snuggling in bed or having a hot cup of tea while reading chick-lit :D but AARGH THE HUMIDITY. all my clothes stink now :( :( and my dryer's now being used as a stand so I can't use that. Is it too lame to use a hair-dryer to dry the clothes?

(was planning to use this as an fb status msg but realised that I'll only be called HW. so decided to go private :P)

please increase your momentum by 4, thanks.

5 days, 4 hours, 12 minutes, 10 seconds :D :D (there's a Countdown Gadget on my desktop hehe.)

If I'm this excited now, I can't imagine how it's going to be next year! Stress levels will also be threefold. And sadly my source of calmness will be kept faaar away from me aaargh!

5 days, 4 hours, 9 minutes, 20 seconds!!

my thatha's collected a whole bunch of quotes throughout his life and is regularly sending them to me now. So I want to share some of them:

1. How often does a man ruin his disciples by remaining always with them.When men are trained, it is essential that their leader leaves them, for without his absence, they cannot develop themselves. Plants always remain small under a big tree.


2. People cannot learn by having information pressed into their brains. Knowledge has to be sucked into the brain, not pushed in. First, one must create a state of mind that craves knowledge, interest & wonder. You can teach only by creating an urge to know.

3. Don't go to a doctor who places his stethoscope on your wallet. (:P)

4. Misers are no fun to live with, but they make great ancestors.

5. A conference is a gathering of important people, who singly can do nothing, but together can decide that nothing can be done.
 

6. The definition of the golden age of anything is when you were there. (awwwwwwwww)

7. Truman's Law: If you can't convince them, confuse them.

8. A specialist is one who knows everything about something & nothing about anything else.


9. Young men are apt to think themselves wise enough,as drunken men are apt to think themselves sober enough.

10.Dont talk unless you can improve the silence.

11. Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

12.The path to happiness is always under construction.

13. Middle age is when your narrow waist & broad mind exchange places.

14. It is not the hours you put in your work that counts, it is the work you put in the hours.

15. Silence is golden when you cannot think of a good answer.

16. The wise man always seeks to learn.The ignorant man always wants to teach.


17. Mosquitoes receive far more applause than many politicians do. (HAHAHA)


18. Our lives improve only when we take chances & the first & most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves.

19. If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; If we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

20. If you cannot accept losing, you can't win.
