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…
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…
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…
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…
I smell summer in the air! That’s Seoul calling me…allllll the way here from Singapore. If there’s one thing that defines summer in Seoul for me, it’s the fact that I spend so much more time shopping in summer than during any other seasons. Money just keeps draining away!! To me, shopping there in summer…
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…
This is a debate that I often have with my friends. It made me realise that many people have different perspectives on travel and different ways of enjoying their travels. Some people like to splurge on their travels, some like to scrimp and budget their spendings on their travels. That one weekend, however, my mum…
Special moments create special memories, especially when we travel. I had one of this special memories on my trip to Cameron Highlands in Malaysia. Being a city girl, my concept of stars in the sky is pretty much limited to seeing the few scattered lights blinking in the sky. I would think them pretty and…
The ride from Jakarta to Bandung was pretty uneventful. In the three hours that it took for us to get there, we chatted, we laughed, we ate and we napped. Except, we were not in a car by ourselves but in a hired van with 6 other strange men who kept to themselves. The silence…
I’m in bed listening to the rain and thunder outside, with no sense of urgency to ever get out of bed on a Sunday. Isn’t that the best feeling in the world? It does brings me back to a time in Seoul when I had nothing to do or rather when I couldn’t do anything…
