Airbus brand new airliner, the A350XWB has been in town since yesterday. As part of an 11-day demonstration tour of Asia, the Airbus A350 XWB (MSN5) landed in KLIA shortly before noon on 26th November and had a full “PR” day today before it is scheduled to leave tomorrow morning.…
This is a short post to share some info about this convenient and beautiful place that we stayed in Cervantes. WA. Strategically located in the heart of Cervantes town, the Cervantes Lodge & Pinnacles Desert Backpackers Hostel is one of the few lodges available for tourists visiting the nearby Pinnacles…
On the last week of October, I had the opportunity to be featured on the “Tourism Buzz” segment on MyTourismTV. It is definitely an honour to be able to share a bit of my passion towards aviation and travel. Obviously I still have to learn a lot about being on…
Besides being the gateway to the awesome Pinnacles Desert (click here to read), the small town of Cervantes is also home to other small but nice tourist attractions. After a good night rest at Cervantes Lodge & Pinnacles Desert Backpackers Hostel, we went to check out Lake Thetis and Hansen…
Located roughly around 200km from Perth is the Namburg National Park, home to the Pinnacles — a must-see for anyone visiting this part of Western Australia. It was our second stop after the beautiful Lancelin (click here to read). As it was near lunch time, we stopped at the famous…
The scenic and laidback fishing vilage of Lancelin turned out to be a perfect ‘pit stop’ for our trip to Cervantes. We had a good overnight rest and were able to enjoy Lancelin’s sand dunes first thing in the morning (click here to read my sand dune story). Here’s a…

It is time for me to kick-off my #PerthPlusPlus stories. As per my previous travel series, I will start with a blog post covering the journey to reach the destination, which in this case the flight to Perth :) After all, this is an AVIATION & travel blog so I…
#PerthPlusPlus was really an ad-hoc trip for me and my wife. We went through a busy period from May till July this year and I thought we could use a week of quick getaway to chill out a bit. Finding last minute airfare deals was quite tricky and though we…
Malaysia Airlines recently released a very meaningful and touching short film TERBANG, A Malaysian Story. A simple and predictable storyline but with lots of deep messages that I can relate to what both the airline and Malaysia are going through right now, trying to bounce back from the unfortunate events…
This is a continuation from previous post which is available here. Achieving Laban Rata was an achievement by itself. Any Mount Kinabalu climber would want to reach Low’s Peak but not everyone is able to achieve it due to many reasons — weather, altitude sickness, fatigue, malas, etc. After a…
This is yet another #throwback post. “To be at the peak of Mount Kinabalu!” — Tick! Alhamdulillah, on February 9th 2014 (told you it’s a major throwback), I have finally achieved one of the biggest items in my personal travel bucket list since year 2009. Plenty of stories and blog…
