The venue

Initially, the venue was in The Navigators' office. When people heard about it, they dropped their jaw to their disbelief. Is that place really that bad?

So the couple looked for other alternatives. They surveyed the church where CS and Lydia had their wedding. Space was almost equivalent with the Nav's hall.

Then they checked out Tropicana Golf Resort. The place was really good but they were upset with the 4 pillars in the center. Remember Alex and Susan's wedding? They had it there.

Not long later, the couple decided to have it at their new apartment's pool side. That should be cool. But need to arrange for catering and PA system. When inquiry was made to the management staff, she received non-professional treatment. So it was disappointing.

The couple then checked out SD club, where Mr and Mrs Paul Lai had their wedding there. The pool was ok but the canopy rental was expensive. Imaging to have 3 canopies for one grand. The function room looked ok though.

They had also inquired Luther House where Mr and Mrs Chan had their wedding back then. Guess what, the church had been torn down to make way for the new development.

Inquiry on St Paul's church again yield no good outcome. One of the couple must be Anglican. They are not.
Inquiry on St Andrew's church in KL was disappointing. Bureaucracy.....

At last, back to the original plan: The Navigator's meeting hall. After all, we should be proud of it.
What is more important, you will not feel regret when you look back from few years ahead. Alan Ch'ng.

Trip 01-06.....rough itinerary

Category: Travel OK, time is catching up. I have about 3 weeks left before the trip. Have drafted out initial itinerary: 6 May - Fly to BKK and transit to Udon Thani. From Udon Thani, go to Nong Khai and cross over Laos border. Immigration office opens until 10pm. Hope to reach Vientiane before midnite. 7 May - Excursion around Vientiane. 8 May - Travel to Vang Vieng. Not really want to spend 11 hours on the bus to get to Luang Prabang. Have a pit stop will be nicer. 9 May - Continue to Luang Prabang. 10 May - Excursion around Luang Prabang. 11 May - Slow boat to Pak Beng. Mandatory pit stop due to slowliness of the boat. 12 May - Slow boat to Huoy Xai. I guess have to over night here (immigration office might be closed at time of arrival). 13 May - Cross over to Thailand. Might not stay in Chiang Rai. Proceed to Chiang Mai. 14 May -Back to Malaysia.

Kumano Kodo - Day 1

Just came back from Osaka last week. It was my personal and solo trip of the year. There were only two main focuses of the trip — the Kumano Kodo and the Expo 2025 Osaka. Let me share my experience from the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage. Well, it felt more like a hike in my local hills. I chose a 4-day, 3-night walk with a boat trip included. This route was the simplest, covering only about 7 km of walking (though I added some extra distance for personal exploration). It was Route 3 of the Nakahechi route. By collecting 10 stamps along this route (at designated stamping points), I should be eligible for the Dual Pilgrim certificate if I complete the last 100 km on foot of the Camino de Santiago in Portugal. All my accommodations and packed lunches were arranged through the official Kumano Travel website. Although the booking response was a bit slow, I managed to receive confirmation about 2 or 3 weeks before my flight.  To get to the Kumano area, I took a train (Kuroshio limited express) ...

Expo 2025 Osaka

Some photos to share from Expo 2025 Osaka (the country pavilions that I managed to visit). There were lots of people, and some pavilions required queuing for hours. The weather was unforgiving too—one day was hot and another day was rainy (I bought a two-day pass for the visit). I only manages to visit eleven country pavilions. Overall, it was fun but tiring.  Photos taken with iPhone 14.
