I was screaming and shouting but the ferry departed just in front of my nose.

Being able to spend a relaxing weekend on a secluded and wonderful island at the East Coast of Malaysia, is one of the points that I would mention when being asked why I don’t want to go back to Europe.

Getting to that island in the first place however would be not on this list of plus points.

By now I traveled five times to Tioman (the above mentioned island) already, and I made all kind of experiences along the way. First a lot of bad ones, now more and more good ones.

The year is long and the days are numbered. 2009 just arrived and brings some nice public holidays along.
And since long weekends are the best thing to escape this island for some off-time, I created the below Singapore 2009 Publi Holiday list and my suggestions of how to place your holidays to get the maximum amount of free time out of it.

Every time I sit in the cab, ready for a nice time out somewhere between Papua Neugenia and the Phillipines, and considering the departure time of my flight, being just a little bit late, the cab driver will for sure turn around slightly or look into his mirror and snore a “Ey, which terminal u go?”

Traveling in South East Asia is a wonderful thing, its cheap, its easy, its quick and you have wonderful locations.
Living in Singapore, THE travel hub for all US, European and Australian flights, offers you more possibilities of spending your weekend away on some lonely island, then Sentosa will ever posses.

..well, to be honest its a draw between Singapore Airlines and Virgin America.
