Before I begin this travel series, I would first like to mention that I know the term ‘Couplemoon’ does not exist. It was made up by Lisa. It is when a couple travels together who aren’t married yet. Well, there are Honeymoon for newly weds and Babymoon for expecting parents so why not a Couplemoon … Continue reading
On this half of the Taipei Trippin Episode, we explore more of the many unique things Taipei is known for – themed restaurants! This post will feature three – Hello Kitty Sweets, Barbie Restaurant and Modern Toilet Restaurant. Be prepared for a picture heavy post of girly cuteness and some rather graphic images of ‘poop’. Before we begin, … Continue reading
To be honest, I wasn’t really excited for this trip in the beginning having just recovered from an operation. But I’ve never been on a company conference, its not everyday we get to travel with colleagues, plus, flight and accommodation were paid for! I’ll be nuts not to go! Though Taiwan was never on my … Continue reading
On our final episode of A Springtime Story, we visit the majestic Forbidden City, get photo-bombed (as usual) and go in search of the lane with some exotic finds and food before we headed home to Singapore.

On this episode of A Springtime Story, we will visit the beautiful Summer Palace, watch a stunning acrobats show, have dinner like a boss in Houhai, ride on a Bei-bei (what the hell is that?) and discover first hand what China is very well known for worldwide – their rude antics.

Vacations never last long enough. In our case, despite spending six days in Beijing, we still felt like there was still so much more to see and do there. I decided to call the six part Beijing travel series A Springtime Story, because it was Spring there and we came home with quite a story … Continue reading
Adventures of the Bitch Trinity (Part IV) is the last edition to the Bangkok 2013 series and is a fairly short entry since we only spent a quarter of our last day in Bangkok before heading home. We explored Bangkok’s own Madame Tussaud’s and did a little last minute shopping at NaRaYa. Madame Tussauds is … Continue reading
We start off this entry with a picture of our cab in a jam. Throughout our stay here, there were occasions travelling on the road when we will encounter what Bangkok is also well known for – traffic jams. But it wasn’t as painful as we expected. I guess, it depends on when and where … Continue reading
One afternoon in 2009, all the way at the western end of the little island Sentosa, a few Fortians in green camo and khakis told each other, “Wouldn’t it be an honour if we can go and see the Death Railway?”. And then, four years later… This trip to Kanchanaburi is very special to me. … Continue reading

Let me start of by saying that travel journaling/blogging is not at all easy! To be honest, my initial plan was to put all 5days of photos and details into one post but the codes and scrolling messed with my head and I can imagine loading would be a killer! Hence, I’ve settle for a … Continue reading
Would you believe if I said that this trip was impromptu? About 3weeks before the long Eid and National Day weekend came, I told Mama, “Where can I escape to this year?” and she replied, “Lets go to an island paradise”. Our initial plan was to go to Phuket. But flight and accomodation cost were … Continue reading
I had recently renewed my passport in April and got myself a cover too from Victoria’s Secret. Its gold and shiny with the words ‘Bon Voyage’ (‘have a good trip’) imprinted on it to celebrate all my new adventures. I’ve always wanted to travel but certain circumstances in the past have held me back. I … Continue reading
