Kuala Lumpur - China, Financing Your Trip!

Assalamualaikum ...

When we told our friends that we are about to travel, we were labeled as a RICH!
But then, how many of you notice that with the cost of less than 20 USD per day, you can afford yourself with a nice accomodation and food when you are travelling?

I love travelling and infact I have a very less experiences about backpacking. A few years back, I have been travelling to Medan, Indonesia, Cambodia + Vietnam and Manila, Phillipines. With these backpacking experiences, I would like to share with you on how I fund my backpacking trips and how I manage the money!

Getting fund: there isn't an easy way to fund your trips without saving! Everymonth, there are thousand of bills to settle with; ASTRO, CELCOM, MAXIS, DIGI, TNB, House Rent, Car, SYABAS and more more more ...

From my previous post, I did mention taht travelling is all about passion, when you have planned yourself to travel, you will put aside your money for this.

Let me take and example of my Cambodia + Vietnam & Manila trips last year.For your information, I spend almost RM3000 for these trips. Every month, I put aside RM300 for this 'project' for almost 10 months! Well, I have to put one more definition about travelling: passion & determination! Through high determination, Insyaallah, you will istiqamah in keeping aside your RM300 a month for 10 months! (I'm not talking about how you manage our pay wisely here, you may refer this to AKPK!)

Managing your fund: this will be the most difficult part compared to get your fund!
When we have some amount of money, we tend to use it without first think either it is
our priority or not! (keperluan atau kemahuan)

My definition about travelling is; we travel out of our hometown with limited budget and enjoy the life there! and its a big No-No for shopping!

Let me share my experience when I was travel to Chambodia + Vietnam & Manila!
Well, total expenses for that trip is RM 3000 or 1000 USD, the rough details as below:
Flight ticket: Kuala Lumpur - Ho Chi Minh - Kuala Lumpur & Kuala Lumpur - Manila - Kuala Lumpur RM1050 (extra almost 15 USD for airport tax in Manila)
Accomodation & Food: Cambodia + Vietnam 250 USD & Manila 250 USD
Misc: RM 405
Duration of stay: 10 Days in Cambodia + Vietnam & 10 Days in Manila ...

Travelling is the cheapest vacation to see the world! Why pay more?

Marine Engineering Bridging Program

Assalamualaikum ... DONE! It would be the best word to describe when I'm done my 2-year training ... 2 years isn't easy path for me to walk through ... Last week, I get back home after a few weeks struggle for my exams ... Theory exam (Oral Exam) at MARDEP Port Kelang ... MSCR exam (Marine Survical Craft & Rescue) at ALAM Melaka ... and a few courses before and after the exams ... Alhamdulillah ... I passed all the exams ... Now, it is the time for me to apply for my CoC (Certificate of Competency) ... 2 years back ... I remembered when one of the staff from my company said ... 'Your Degree is Useless ... You can burn it!' Phewwww! Just put yourself in my shoes ... :p When I was onboard ship ... Some peoples discriminate me and my buddy ... Just because we have a piece of paper ... B.eng Mechanical is nothing to them ... But then, its something to us ... A few cadets argued about how much we earned per month ... Nothing he shared with us ... Help with hidden agenda ...

B.Eng boleh bawak mati!

Assalamualaikum ... I met one of my friends in her campus ... Well, she's a medical student ... Sweet and nice isn't it? or maybe ... COOL! We have been talking about her life and so mine ... Talking about job ... and a comparison about being a doctor and me ... marine engineer ... What maked her impress is the figure that i will received each month ... mmmmm .... i think its tooo selfish to talk about money here ... But what makes me feel stupid about her is ... When she used to say this stupid statement ... "Macam mana ko punya gaji lagi besar dpd aku huh? Padahal kos kau tak adalah susah sangat" Pergh ... What do you think my friends? One word crossed in my mind: BODOH! Dia tak tahu ke ... yang founder GENTING BERHAD tu kerja asalnya tukang kutip besi buruk? Last-last gaji mahal dari kita semua yang ada B.ENG? Dia tak tahu jugak ke yang mamat founder MICROSOFT tak habis degree pun? Rumusan: Manusia bongkak dengan sekeping degree yang diorang dapat! Assalamualaikum ...
