Top 3 Commentators for Year 2013

Another year has passed and it's the time again for me to reward three blog readers of mine who leave the most trail or comments in this little humble blog of mine - Travel & Living Journal of DT. This year I didn't spend much on souvenirs while I was on the road but mostly on foods instead. So, it's kinda hard for me to courier those foods (I wish I could somehow) and I try to replace with something else. Plus, two of the winners are travel bloggers who had been almost the same places I'd been to and it's really cracking my head what to give to them. Anyway, I hope the three winners will like the little and simple token of appreciation I'm giving.

Now, it's the time for me to reveal the top 3 Commentators for the Year 2013 *drum roll again and again..................*

From the bottom 3

Biqque from Beauty in Darkness (travel blogger) - with 46 comments

• A set of Travel stationery theme
• Face masks and fridge magnet from Taiwan 
•  Keychain from Sarawak
• Lavera hand cream

Post The Card (Part 2)

I blogged before regarding the postcards I received from my friends - Post The Card.
So, here is the post of Part 2 which I plan to blog earlier but I keep delayed until now.

Taiwan from Chris

From a very best friend of mine where we knew each other in college until now. She even made a day stop in Kota Kinabalu before departed to Taiwan.

Bandung, Indonesia from Tracie

Third postcard I received from another close friend of mine. I did went Bandung during last year Christmas but I didn't managed to find postcards from there due to ran out of time. Thank goodness that she willing to spare some time to search for postcard and purposely send for me. She never fail to send me a postcard whenever she is travelling.

Well, not only I received postcards from my own friends but I did received postcards from few bloggers which I met through online. Although we didn't knew each other in personal, but we still exchanged postcards with one and other.

Cambodia from Jeff Chuan

The first postcard I received from a blogger. Somehow, I came across that Jeff will going Cambodia with his uni friends via twitter and I just simply requested postcard from him but he seriously did so. Oh gosh! I really never thought of that but anyhow, thank you so much, Jeff! Cambodia is currently in my travel bucket list.

India from Kemang

I forgot how the stories came about but if not mistaken, for sure I think I did requested a postcard from Kemang #thickface. He is another kind of travel blogger that did travel solo and I absolutely salute those who did so cause I always wanna try travel solo but unfortunately, I don't have the guts to do so #cowardgal.

Krabi, Thailand from #travelholicawesome 

My third Krabi postcard but it was my first time received from these four awesome travel bloggers, Danny/John, Janggel/Rain, CoCoNutz, and MasmZ during their short trip to Hatyai and Krabi via overland on Labour Day.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia from Lily Riani

Some known her as Lily and some known her as Globetrotter. If you visit her blog, for sure you will be blown away by looking at how many places, cities and countries she visited. Lily, I deeply in love with your blog header and I wish I could travel as much like you. She went Phnom Penh in the objectives to do community services by visiting orphanage there and this is a such meaningful activity, besides travelling. Not just postcard, but she did separately send fridge magnet to me too. Gosh! I almost in tear when I saw the fridge magnet cause I never expecting that.

Sri Lanka from Lily Riani

Another postcard from Lily again and this is one of her secretive trip. Every year she will go and discover new places and countries to visit.

Melbourne, Australia from Danny/John

Another postcard from him and it was from my dream place that I wanna visit since I was small. When oh when, could I visit Australia. Danny/John, I hate you so much for making more and more jealous with you. Neh, I'm just kidding!

Sydney, Australia from Danny/John

Ok! Now I really hate you for this too. Hahaha...

Ireland from R.a.W.

Another #thickface case again but I seriously wanna a postcard from Europe. Never got the chance to visit Ireland and now, holds a huge regret for didn't plan to do so during my study time in United Kingdom back in year 2008. If I got the chance to visit Europe again, Ireland will be on my list for sure. R.a.W, hopefully your postcard will bring more Irish luck to me and makes my wish to go Europe again someday come true.

Hua Hin, Thailand from Lily Riani

The recent postcard which I received from Lily again.

Extend my gratitude especially to all the bloggers above for the postcard that you guys send to me and for sure, I love all of them so much. Thank you once again and I really delightful to receive more postcards. Wondering how I kept my postcards? I used to kept them in a fancy box until I view my photo albums and there's where I got the idea from.

My postcard album and I think I might need to get more. 

For those which I bought but I didn't send out, I kept in a fancy box but until last few days when I opened it, I was so surprised that I actually did bought and collected so many postcards. That's the reason why I need to buy more and more postcard albums.

 

Extra postcards that I bought. Anyone want?

2012 Calender from Phuket

Kid you not! That's the wonderful thing about travelling to oversea during new year and they will give you calender if there is a stock left. Not one but two. Before the new year, I was wondering why didn't I get any calender for the year 2012. Then, the first person who gave was my boyfie's dad. Thanks uncle! After that, I keep receiving calender for non-stop and I just put aside until recently where I was cleaning my room and I realised how these calender were so wasted by just put aside. Hence, I was thinking why not doing a give-away to those who want it? Don't you like it?

But wait! Not just one, but I am giving away 3 items and all of these were bought from overseas during my trip:

• 2012 Calender from Phuket, Thailand

Begin from the bottom top 3

Rexs Leonard J. Madan from Si Aki Borneo - with 30 comments

Reveal the Unrevealed Trip

It's cool to spend your public holiday by going for a trip; either inbound trip or outbound trip. But the next thing you know is that your holiday is over and you don't have enough time to be slack on your bed because most of your time had been spending walking for non-stop during your trip.

This is my 4th trip after working life and once I came back from a trip, the next day I will start working without taking any extra leave. It's quite tiring sometimes but for me, travelling is always within my blood and bone. It is my passion or I can said. "I was born to become traveler ".

Just returned from my holiday and guess who got it right where had I been to? Tiara Dryden, you are absolutely correct. Yes, I went to China for 4 days with my family - including my bro who currently studied in Kuching and my sis and even her boyfriend all the way from Singapore. I still remember my previous family trip was in year 2005 to Hong Kong together with my late grandfather.

Anyway congratulation to Tiara Dryden as you might receive mystery gift. I will contact you later. This is my first ever real gift-away. For Jeff Chuah, don't be dissapointed as I will do it again next time.

Will post more on my China trip.

It's not the first time I'd been to China as I had been there and it was the greatest birthday gift from my dad. Went to Beijing and other cities in 2006 during my birthday.
