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…

Obsessed Over Milk Tea when Travelling

M is for milk!! Milk tea to be precise. My friends have called me crazy, they’ve called me obsessed. Something that I always, always look out for whenever I travel is milk tea. Is it my sweet tooth? Quite possibly. The first thing I wanted to try in Hong Kong was not its famous dim…

Starstruck in Cameron Highlands

Special moments create special memories, especially when we travel. I had one of this special memories on my trip to Cameron Highlands in Malaysia.

5 Stages of Travel Envy

Lately I’ve been burning with jealousy. Friends have been inviting me to travel or telling me of their intended trips which makes me green with envy. The bad news is, I’m deskbound until the middle of the year with work and endless engagements. Which makes me feel worse since I have not been able to…

No Monkey Business Please!

The moment you realise you have been outwitted, outran and outnumbered. It was very easy to get lost in the moment. White, sandy beach. Gorgeous clear waters, I could hardly believe this was in Malaysia. I was near Langkawi, enjoying the awesome beach and being lulled by the beautiful surroundings into my happy place. We…
