Who is Borneogrrl? You may wonder why I call myself BorneoGrrl, that's exactly who I am. I come from Miri, a town ( now a city) located on the coast of Sarawak, Malaysia on the island of Borneo. If that sounds exotic, how about if I tell you that I'm from an indigenous tribe who long ago practiced head hunting. Well, that was long ago and I'm the squeamish type. Anyway, I'm just a small town girl with big dreams of discovering the world, and I'm starting to do that bit by bit. Starting with discovering the beauty and wonder of my country, Malaysia, and on to Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and now Africa. Now I'm in between Malaysia and Africa, and it is a fantastic journey. I'm really encouraged by the response I get from the fellow VT members who visited my pages, contacted me and rated my tips .... ahem, ahem. Thank you all and keep visiting because I do this specially for youThis is actually one of my favorite pictures. Believe it or not, I took this picture with my iPaq PDA. It was around 6.00 am and I had just arrived in Vienna on a 12-hour journey from Kuala Lumpur. Looking at the picture, I remembered how cold it was since I was about to experience my first winter. Plus, it's rare photograph of me in glasses which I don't wear anymore since I had lasik surgery in 2006

2008 so far ..... 2007 has been a great year for discovering new destinations and hopefully, 2008 will be the same. BALI, IndonesiaIt was fun to visit Bali again and this time, I have my sisters with me. Fantastic time, food, people and places I revisited again and hopefully will return again. Thanks to my usual trips to MIRI (home), DUBAI & KHARTOUM, I'm running out of pages in my passport! |

Fond memory : First Winter in Wien Arriving in Vienna on a cold January morning, I was hoping to finally experience my first snowfall. To my dismay, I was told that this had been a mild winter and I may not see a single snowflake. A few days later, for some strange reason, snow began to fall. Well, Vienna is beautiful in the snow and I spent hours walking around the city in -10 deg C weather. Getting dressed for winter is no fun at all though, all the layers & layers of clothes. By the time I'm dressed with my coat, scarf, hat, boots, I feel too tired to go out. Still, I think it's one of the best experiences I've had but doubt I will be repeating in a while :) Well, I shouldn't have spoken too soon because I returned to another winter in Vienna, and will again for Christmas. Haha ... joke's on me :(
