I’d like to wish all my readers a happy new year. Welcome 2012!

It’s 8 February 2012 already eh? That’s fast! How was your celebration to 2012? Wah, some celebrated in Singapore, some in Thailand, so much fun! Wherever you went, Budiey hoped that you guys were happy and enjoyed yourself.

This year, Budiey didn’t get to celebrate in Kuala Lumpur cos I had to travel to Gold Coast. Hehehe, not Gold Coast Australia but Sepang Gold Coast! Malaysia now has lots of classy names for its places. International names.

Speaking of new years, each of us have our own wishes and aspirations for 2012, pretty much over the top but good is such dreams and wishes. There are some goals which has not been reached over the years and are usually recycled to the following year because they are quite difficult to achieve.

Guess what’s Budieys wish for this year? Mmm.. There’s a lot of wishes in my head but one of them would be to travel the world. Budieys dream is to travel to a different country every month, hence Budiey has decided to switch my blog tag line to travel & lifestyle.

So other that blogging about celebrities and entertainment, now you can also gather information about interesting travels in Malaysia and overseas as well – this depends on my capability and time to travel.

Okay, speaking of travelling, my next travel destination for January 2012 is Hong Kong. Yeay!

Ya once again Budiey choose Hong Kong for the travel destination because my first time to Hong Kong in July 2011 wasn’t satisfying. 4 days just isn’t enough!

Especially since on my second day there, I took the chance to visit Hong Kong Disneyland for a very short while. One day in Disneyland just isn’t enough!

Hence Budiey has decided to head to Hong Kong Disneyland again and this time for 3 days 2 nights. Pretty satisfying right?

For a more convenient trip this round Budiey has decided to stay at Hotel Hong Kong Disneyland. Other than convenience, staying at Hotel Hong Kong Disneyland will allow Budiey to save travel time and energy. No need for MTR rides. Just a few steps and you are straight at Hong Kong Disneyland. Isn’t it?

Let’s hope this Times visit will give Budiey maximum satisfaction and Budiey will utilize all the time here. Going to try all the rides and look at everything in much detailed the second time round.

Oh ya before I forget, Hong Kong Disneyland has a new attraction called the Toy Story Playland.

Haa, that’s why Budiey is excited to head there to look with his pen rutd and experience it as well

Budiey is an actual fan of this film and character. Regardless, I’d like to go Hong Kong Disneylamd because of this Toy Story world. Especially experiencing Andy’s world – the main character of Toy Story

I’m anxious to see all the characters from Toy Story, a film by Disney-Pixar. And I heard that Toy Story fans from around the world is swarming Hong Kong so they can have a look.

Just for my readers knowledge, Toy Story Playland was opened on 18th November 2011. Which is in conjunction to the 83 anniversary of Mickey and Minnie mouses birthday.

Budiey can’t share more details about the new land yet cos I haven’t stepped foot there yet. But I will once there to see Woody, Rex and other characters of Toy Story. 3 of the main attractions are RC Racer, Slinky Dog Spin and Toy Soldier Parachute Drop.

If you wanna know more, don’t forget to stay tune to Budiey.com.

For more understanding of the theme parks concept, have a look at this video of Toy Story Playland
