8 September 2019, just 9 days after the start of the Islamic calendar year of 1441AH, 9 days after the visa for umrah season reopens, we are able to achieve something that we have always wanted to do — performing Umrah during a low-season period. Alhamdulillah, after months of planning…
In today’s competitive airlines scene, having the right match of innovative products and lucrative routes could spell the difference between a sustainable business or a deeper hole on an operator’s pocket. Across different airlines, strategists work hard to crunch numbers to decide which types of aircrafts could help translate their…
Over the few years Bangkok has been my favorite ASEAN city for a quick weekend getaway. While Jakarta (lovely Nasi Padang, cheap shopping!) and Singapore (great choice of staycation hotels!) have its own appeal, I find myself doing the 2.5 hour flight to Bangkok more frequently than to any other…
For the last few years, I’ve seen a fair amount of tourism agencies and travel bloggers promoting destinations as “instragrammable”. Unfortunately, not all these destinations live up to that expectations. When we were supposed to end our 7-day tour of Morocco in Chefchaouen, a city that many claims so instagrammable…
After a tiring 3-day adventure being off-the-grid enjoying the beauty of Sahara Desert, it felt great to be able to enjoy a nice long hot shower and be back in a city, this time the city of Fes, Morocco. If there is one rookie mistake we made throughout our Morocco…
“Are we there yet?”. This simple 4-word question crossed my mind at least a hundred times during our long 12-hour journey from Marrakesh to Merzouga in Sahara Desert. For those who are familiar with long-haul flights, you would know that confusing feeling of waking up from a sleep only to…

Hello everyone. Yes I know. It has been too long since I last updated this little blog of mine. Thank you for all your e-mails and DMs asking for new and fresh contents for the last few months. On a brighter side, I'm pleased to say that I AM BACK…
As I’m writing this blog post, the Malaysian football team is already out from the Asian Games 2018 competition after the narrow 1-0 loss to Japan in the round of 16. As a fan, it is quite sad to see the fairy-tale run coming to an end but looking at…
“Experience being on a proving flight of a new aircraft” were the exact keywords I googled when I first got to know that I was invited to join a proving flight out of my home base airport - Kuala Lumpur. The results of the search in a way indicate that…
Once upon a time a guy named Az (bukan nama sebenar) would walk into a bookstore not only for the obvious reasons of buying a book but also to meet cute girls while browsing books. I mean what is hotter than a cute girl that reads books right?! So people…
Having spent our first evening in Rome till late (click here if you’ve missed my earlier post), we had every reason to wake up late at the hotel the next morning. Except that some parts of Rome is best captured during sunrise. So after our Subuh prayers, with little sleep,…
