Top 5 Travel Wishes For My Birthday Today!

Happy Birthday….To…..Me! It has been 37 years since my mother suffered so much and cried so hard to get rid of me from her stomach and I would like to say SORRY to my mum for the 37th times today.

This is a special year for me. Apart from the usual crazy birthday celebration in the eve, in this travel blog of Travel Feeder- A Top 5’s travel blog with travel tips, I’m going to have 5 wishes this year! ‘you greedy little old chap!’ Let me pray a little harder to my ‘Guan Yin Liang Liang’ for these wishes to come through. Normally, as old folks says, birthday wishes would never be realised if you announced them to public. But if I don’t publiciise them now, how would my readers know what my wishes are and help me to achieve them?

These are my Top 5 Birthday Wishes:

1. I wish to travel to Europe again next year. This time round is going to be partnered with my wife and hopefully we could re-visit London, Paris, Venice and Rome for good sake;
2. I wish all my photos taken in future will be…..clear enough to be posted here. Hopefully my going-to-purchase digital camera won’t fail me;
3. I wish air ticket would be cheaper, our currencies will be stronger and the global financial meltdown would be over soon;
4. I wish Travel Feeder could achieve Google PR8 this coming year, my RSS Feed’s readership could break 1000’s and 5k unique visitors to my travel blog per…. day, and
5. I wish….. to have another 5 wishes!

After all, I really wish that our world will be more peaceful with less air crash, terrorism, natural disaster, fatal decease so everyone would be carrying his smiling face wherever he travels…. let’s pray. - Travel Feeder.

Congratulation to….. Myself! After all the hardwork done to promote it to the world for the last 3 months, with the aim to provide one-stop travel information and travel tips to my readers, Travel Feeder.com has recently achieved its short-term target: To secure a Google Page Rank! And we just got it,  from none to Page Rank 2!

PageRank™ technology has been developed by Google to reflect the importance of certain web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Websites or blogs that Google believes are important or valuble pages will receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results. PageRank also considers the importance of each page that casts a vote, as votes from some pages are considered to have greater value, thus giving the linked page greater value. Though it’s only PR2, it shows that Travel Feeder has started to be noticed by search engine sifu, Google. That is why I’m so excited!

There are many ways to check the PageRank value of your blogs and the most popular checker would definitely be the PR Checker.info. I used PRChecker as well and the Top 5 reasons to place the PR button on Travel Feeder’s Trusty Index section are as follows:

1. PRChecker provides very cute small buttons, which you could notice it at Travel Feeder’s Trusty Index
   ;
2. To show my visitors the current page rank of Travel Feeder.com;
3. To check the page rank of this travel blog while visiting the site myself;
4. I heard, it could help in SEO, link exchange, and my travel blog promotion matters, and
5. To impress, hopefully, my visitors with the page rank value of Travel Feeder, and I believe it would be higher and higher!

If you want to check the same for your website or other’s blogs, you could use the PR check tool below. Just key in the url and you will get the PageRank figure instantly!

A big THANK YOU to those friends out there who have linked Travel Feeder in their blogs or websites without which we will not be able to get such ranking. For our new visitors who think Travel Feeder is worth linking, please do so and ping me for an appreciation link back! But, NO SPAM please! My Akismet has worked really hard to blocked more than 472 spams so far until to date. See ya Ciao! - Travel Feeder.

Last Sunday, on the 15th Day of August in Lunar calender, was our Chinese descendants’ Mid-Autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival. Previous years, our family would gather togehter for dinner at our parents’ house. After the dinner, my brothers and sisters would be chatting all in’s and out’s while our children playing their lanterns and candles. However, it was not quite the same this year with some disasterous events (among others, Jean was disgnosed as having Acute Appendicitis and admitted into hospital) which I would rather forget them all in no time. Thanks to the harvest moon, there was at least one thing that I could still be consoled with: An additional of 13 travel links were successfully featured in Travel Feeder after 3 days!

In the afternoon of Mid-Autumn Festival, I was having high tea at my balcony, eating mooncakes while reading through all the featured travel blogs of Travel Feeder. To my surprise, They are all great websites providing such an unique travel tips and information for me. For those who are following us, these are the latest links addition of Travel Feeder:

1) Travel Blogs

• Let’s Go.co.in
• Aaron Georgie Happy Time;
• Mobile Travel Blog;
• Thai Kitchen;

• Hands For Help Nepal Blog;

• Eye Flare, and
• King Vacation.

2) Travel RSS Feeds

• Eye Flare.

Apart from all the disappointing incidents on that day, we still celebrated our Mid-Autumn Festival happily without the bright moon in our sky, but, with these great travel blogs instead. Without which this year’s Mooncake Festival celebration was truely meaningless, except the occasional desert, mooncake.

I have dedicated the last whole week for this link promotion in Travel Feeder and have received tremendous supports from all of you. We should now resume back to our normal blogging page while keeping the link promotion alive in background until one day that I think it’s enough. Please come back for this coming Travel By Photo trip to Cameron Hingland, very soon. You may subscribe RSS Feed To Travel Feeder here for free latest updates of Travel Feeder. Again, thank you very much and Happy belated Mooncake Festival. - Travel Feeder.

Today, 31st August, 2008, the national day of Malaysia, also marked as the end of the existence of the ‘Eye Of Malaysia’ in Kuala Lumpur. The ‘Eye on Malaysia’ is a 60 metre tall portable observation wheel at our infamous Titiwangsa Lake Gardens in Kuala Lumpur. This wheel comprises 42 gondolas (visitors cabin) and was official launched in conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year 2007 on January 6, 2007 by the Malaysian Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

Visitors taking a 12-minutes ride in one of those gondolas could experience a 360 degree panoramic view of the city includes the city landmarks such as KLCC Petronas Twin Towers, KL Tower, and tourist spot of Bukit Bintang. Since it was contracted for operation in KL until only today, it will cease operating and be relocated to Malacca in October 2008. I was ashamed of not even visiting it once since last year and I have to do it today for the last chance!

We woke up pretty early this morning for a praying session to ‘Guan Yin’ on 1st of August in lunar calender, with some hang over after my wife and I had ’Merdeka’ day celebration drinking session till late last night. Once everything settled (after burning the ‘gold paper’ to Guan Yin), we took a bath and drive out for a ‘dim sum’ breakfirst at 3rd mile, Jalan Ipoh, KL. At noon, we reached Titiwangsa Lake Garden. It was a shinny noon with some hints of haze though.

‘Eye on Malaysia’ is built in the middle of the lake with a landing platform extended out from the lake side terrace. Not as huge as other observation wheels like the tallest 165m high ‘Singapore Flyer”, ‘Eye on Malaysia’ did liven up the metropolitan garden. Surprisingly not many people are queuing for the ride. My daughter couldn’t take the challenge up so we have to stay on the ground, walking around the beautiful lake (I think it was 3 years ago since my last visit here).

I took some photos of the wheel and there was a nice gentleman helping to shoot a family photo of us. That was it! Bye! Bye! ‘Eye on Malaysia’! See you in Melaka! For those fellow muslim who are starting their fasting month tomorrow, Happy Fasting! - Travel Feeder.
