My 1st sucessful jumping photo in Sapi Island

Hello, life is busy and I like it, working, saving some money, healthy living style and at the same time, plan for 1 or 2 trips. I am so happy I am able to stick to what I want, at least one domestic trip and 1 international trip a year.
2016 has been fantastic ! I flew out of Asia to attend my first ever Big VT Meet, the Big Sydney Meet. The most wonderful moment was I met many fabulous VT friends. In future, I am very sure I want to attend big VT meet with all efforts.
I had my 1st awesome jump in Pulau Sapi. Though after that I have made several attempts in other spots but for over weight person, to get a nice jumping photo is not easy. Keep light weight.

2015 Year of GOAT Greeting

2015 is year of Goat. My new year wish is being healthy and wealthy to keep on my travelling wish : to travel local and abroad, at least once a year. Beside being self healthy, we need to do somethings to help our mother earth to keep her healthy too. Developement has hurt and damaged the land we live on. Convenience and comfort has harm and sacrifice our future. We must think of environmental friendly, please Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Replace and Repair and Reduce.... , always do things to save our environment as we breathe the same air and enjoy the same sun.
I would like to wish all VT friends ( more than half million ) and my registered VT friends ( 94 to date ) a very successful year 2015, enjoy travellings and being good health.

The 2nd Penang Bridge, the Jambatan Sultan Abdul Halim that link Penang Island @ Batu Maung and the mainland @ Batu Kawan is officially opened by the Prime Minister on 1st March 2014 and was free pass is given to all user for a month. I travelled the bridge for the 1st time on 6 March 2014. It is not a straight bridge, the total length of it is 24km. Motorists can enter the bridge from PLUS Highway turn out from the 2nd Bridge intersection, keep right and drive straight for the bridge and heading Bayan Lepas or Batu Maung. If you wish to enter Batu Kawan Industrial Park, keep left. You may resume for the bridge from Batu Kawan intersection.
The semi-curved arch is the magnificent intergated toll building with 28 lanes for the motorists to pay the PLUS highway and the bridge ticket.
