The Introduction...

Anthony, Ben, Keegan and Ming go to Asia...Uh Oh!

So here's the plan...

4 high school friends
34 nights
5 cities
4 flights
3 hotels
2 bus trips
1 unforgettable holiday...the ultimate holiday (yes i know the name is kinda lame)

And this is how it goes...

Monday 3 December 2008, we depart Perth International Airport at 10:35pm flying with Tiger Airways (yes i would've preferred singapore airlines, but we'll see how this goes). I'm really looking forward to flying with tiger after reading reviews like...

"I have to give this airline two stars. The flight Perth to Singapore to Perth was horrible...it is impossible to recline and use the head rest...worst seating experience i have encountered...incredibly cramped conditions"

oh...my...gawd...

anyway, so once we reach singapore, we have SEVEN hours to kill to wait for our bus to KL. Ever seen The Terminal with tom hanks? we'll be just like that =D

on december 12 we head back to singapore staying at the LOWEST ranked hotel on hotels.com, mind you i think its also the cheapest one listed, and guess who booked it? haha...up side i suppose i can spend more; downside, i just wont sleep comfortably...and did i mention the confirmation email we got?

Reservation Details
Standard Room with Double bed

Say WHAT? DOUBLE bed? as ben put it "looks like we're gonna know each other really well" 

so 8 days later (the plan anyway) we take Jetstar to HONG KONG on december 20. 3 hours on a no frills airline, and again i dont think we prebooked our seats =P i think we're cutting too many corners on this trip, oh well. 
The awesome thing i reckon is that we're spending christmas and new years in HK, woot! It'd be shameful if ben didn't get with at least one chinese girl, =D joking! (don't worry, i'll make all you guys proud, hehe)

so jan 3 we head back to singapore, and you know what, we havn't booked a hotel yet! arrrgggghhhhh. hopefully we'll just check into the shangri la and keegan will be none the wiser (i can imagine..."sorry keegan, left out a zero when we told you the price was $50 a night, LOL)

and jan 6 marks the end of a remarkable journey, where 4 friends became enemies =P we fly back to the reality of a serverely depleted bank balance (if any) and the hot summer weather, sigh! 

i hope to keep this as updated as i can guys...but forgive us for having a better time than you are (cause you're at home reading this and well...we're probably out at the peak, or atop patronas, or at sentosa =P

i've never done a blog before, so excuse me please if its lame ><

Take Care, 

Anthony
