My Dumbest Moment Ever!

Who knew that fishes lived in the sea? Raise your hands please. Ok, now allow me to have a dumb moment to myself. This dumb moment happened at Sentosa. For those unfamiliar with Sentosa, it is a small island off Singapore and is minutes away from the mainland. Don’t let the word ‘island’ fool you…

The dangers of solo travel

You will always remember your first. Your first trip, your first paycheck, your first day at work. For me, I remember my first solo trip quite clearly. Not that it was a huge adventure or a major breakdown of emotions. I remember it for the fear that it instilled in me and taught me to…

A Little Joy in the Midst of Darkness

So I’ve been in a mood for some time, hence the lack of posts. Hearing the news on MH17 pulled me right into a set of gloom and it made me send off flurries of messages to my close friends trying to see light in the midst of darkness. I was actually still up when…

Infinity Pool

Best View in Singapore

I splurged. For no rhyme or reason, I decided on an impromptu staycation with a friend at the iconic Marina Bay Sands or what is known to us as MBS. Marina Bay Sands is definitely an impressionable building. It stands out among all other buildings in Singapore with its unique structure that has visitors describing…

Picky Eating Not Allowed when Travelling

When I ordered a set of bulgogi in Seoul, the least I expected was to have a huge tray delivered to my table. The tray was filled with delicious food, a steaming hotplate of meat, grilled fish, rice, seaweed soup and 6 other side dishes. Yep, there were 6 in all. It felt like a…

Caught in a Stinking Puddle

It was dark. I was not paying attention and I stepped into a puddle. My feet stank. This sounds like life, doesn’t it? But no, this was not a hypothetical theory. It happened. To me. I sneaked out from my friend’s wedding in Palembang, Indonesia, to have dinner near her house. It was a very…

Camp Cove Watsons Bay

Naked at a Nude Beach at Watsons Bay

I went like this. O.O It was a cold and windy day. Mr Sun was nowhere to be seen. And I have a naked guy on the rocks “tanning” away. I was innocently walking around Watsons Bay, just a short distance away from Sydney. Walking, taking photos and shivering due to the dismal weather. I…

“Dear Hong Kong, I’m Sorry…”

If you were to ask me to describe Hong Kong, I would tell you one word. Regrets. I felt that my whole time spent in Hong Kong was regretful because I was there for such a short period. I joked with my friend that we came, we saw, we shopped and we left. We did…

Exploring Haji Lane in Singapore

When I have someone visiting Singapore for the first time, I tell them to put Haji Lane on their list of places to visit. When my friend asks for recommendations, I tell them Haji Lane. When someone e-mails me to ask about essential places to visit, I tell them – Haji Lane. So what makes…

Searching for Wild Dolphins at Jervis Bay

I couldn’t wait to meet my first dolphin in the wild. Looking up Jervis Bay online would tell you that they are quite popular among locals for the white, sandy beaches and beautiful, clear waters. They would also tell you that they have wild dolphins in their bay area all year round. I was sold.…
