Always Ahead

Just got back from Langkawi late Monday to watch LIMA with NBSD-[[Keebs]- and Jeebs.
It was a very fun trip having the chance to spend team with my good friends and just lepak.
Got sick yesterday, lost my voice, caught flu and coughing as well. This all probably due to OD on alcohol :P I'll blog about Langkawi next time.

Like the title says, Always Ahead, I'm already planning another trip.
This time its another trip to Penang for my colleagues at work.
