FastStone Photo Resizer - Powerful Image Converter/Resizer




This software is really amazing, there is no Malwares or Virus. I am using it to convert most of the photos taken in 4:6 to 16:9 so that the photo can look good on Youtube.  

Found the ideal setting will be 1500 x 845 pixel under Advance Options. The photo do convert well but to a smaller size file in another folder so your original photo still stays in tact. Good enough to make a Youtube Video. 

You have a look at the video I created in Backpacking East Malaysia Sabah and decide weather it is good enough.

Lake Toba Indonesia



21~26 June 2013
Lake Toba is the world biggest volcanic lake located in Sumatra, getting there can prove a challenge.
The people there are called Batak, previously head hunters who now mostly converted to Christians. Their culture are very unique especially the buffalo horn roof top and the food is simply fantastic.

Lake Toba has been my dream destination since 1990. At that time getting there was rather difficult as the transportation was not easily available and was expensive.

We highly recommend to stay at Mas Cottage
Things to Note:
  • Contact them to make pick up arrangement.
  • There is WIFI only in their restaurant area.
  • There is Beer.
  • Must try their home cooked food.
  • Rent a bike and go around the island

Koh Chang Thailand


Koh Chang is one of the most beautiful island in Thailand, there were very little tourist and the traffic is like a stand still.

The best way to travel around the island is best to rent a bike.

Note: Coming from Cambodia by land
If you have not prepare a Thai VISA, the Cambodian immigration will ask you to get it from Thai immigration. It's about 150m away. Once you have obtain the Thai VISA only then the Cambodian Immigration will allow you to depart. 

We took land transport and there was quite a waiting time.
