October has been such a happening month for me so far! At the beginning of the month, I visited Seoul (Korea) briefly before heading over to Penang (Malaysia) for a gastronomical food adventure which unfortunately led to radio silence online since my return last week because I was sick. Sad to say, Penang was such…
Looks like stairs continue to be the bane of my existence. I’m lying in bed in my hostel in Seoul, typing this out with all my energy sapped by the long and tiring day I’ve had. The red-eye flight to Seoul that I took left me cranky and tired from the lack of sleep and…
I have never really hiked up a hill or mountain. Before, the thought of hiking up a mountain would never have crossed my mind. The only way you would have gotten me up a mountain would be to tell me of the delicious meals that I can expect at the top of the mountain. I…
Coming from a tropical country, conversations with my friends run the range between “Hey, it’s hotter than usual today” or “The rain never stopped today, what a bummer” or to put it in the local slang, “Wah seh, today the weather damn hot sia”.

It took me a long time to put this together. Not for the lack of words but it is so hard to narrow down all the places into a list. So, at times like these, I decided to be simple and use my own terms instead. And so, I’m introducing a very mixed up list,…

It was never my intention to visit a cat cafe. In fact, I had absolutely no interest in visiting one. Mainly because I was traumatised by a bad cat experience when I was young – my parents love to have that story retold to people over and over again. It has taken me this long…
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…
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…
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…
