<p>Hello there! Thanksgiving is here &#8211; a time to be grateful for the year. Although it has been a challenging year , we manage to go through it. While this year , there has been no travel abroad and maybe reduced travel domestically , the positive side is we managed to spend more time with family, some become good chef and others pick up a new hobby.</p>
</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hello there! Christmas and New Year 2021 is coming. It is the time of the year for housekeeping, spring cleaning . And boy &#8211; look what I found. Do you remember when we go travelling we always have to equip ourselves with maps and sometimes we like to buy a travel guide book so as to get familiarize with the city before touch down. Today we can google everything i.e. 10 things to do at Venice ( which by the way is one of my favorite city in Europe ) , use Google Map, Waze etc. to find your way to the highly recommended restaurants, café , or tourist spot for the perfect Instagram photo. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While we take pictures happily, there was a time when we do not really know how it turned out until when we come back home , have the negatives processed . Unlike today , we can see the result immediately, and pose for that selfie/ we-fie again for the perfect angle, perfect take. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There was a time also when , we may take a video of our trip and when we come back home , either burn it into a tape recorder / CD . And I confess, that I would patiently wait for the postcards I sent from my trips overseas to arrive, with the country of origin stamps as well. Those were the days . </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Note that the Sultan&#8217;s Adventure ticket when I was in Taiwan back in 90 (Taiwan Calendar) . Do you know that Taiwan calendar or Minguo calendar uses 1912, the year of the establishment of the Republic of China (Taiwan), as the first year. ;It was confusing isn&#8217;t it. So do you know Year 90 in Taiwan is year ? in the Gregorian Calendar? </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">2020 has been such a challenging year , with no travel overseas for leisure / business , we can only reminiscent of our previous travel experiences and plan for some future visits to places we have not been to. It is also a time to:- </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">a) look back in our life. As I walk down the nostalgic memory lane, there are questions I ask myself like things I should have known when I was in my twenties and you can read my new book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NYN7S3D/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_awdb_t1_NmeVFbEWP05QZ?fbclid=IwAR0RbDkasqraFsx8UQ-CDfYOv5unbXLBIveTPVadEJO5WZOLsFmdtpMISMs">here</a> </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">b) take some time to plan for thing we had not done or achieved , but would like to at least give it a try. With the new normal , I look forward to exploring &#8220;my own backyard&#8221;- Malaysia. Keep an eye on this space. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the meantime , Happy Thanksgiving , Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2021 . Stay Safe and Healthy , everybody. </p>
