Finally, after months of saving, planning and documenting our whole Wedding Journey together through blogging, photos and video, we’ve finally come to this almost last bit of our entire Wedding Series that we’ve affectionately labelled #MrMrsPrashant.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon lunch reception that was held at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore and not many know that we had to go through many hurdles to have our celebrations held here.

It’s been a while to really collect ourselves and let everything sink in.

I’ll be straight up honest; I do not like Valentines Day. I think it’s the time of the year retailers mark up their prices, it’s almost impossible to make reservations at restaurants and people walk up to couples to try to get the man to buy a rose for his woman. Eek. I can hear … Continue reading

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.

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.

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

And then, four years later… This trip to Kanchanaburi is very special to me. … Continue reading
