I used to travel at least twice a year ever since I started to earn my own keep as a full time working adult. It was my way of recharging and rewarding myself for a hard day's work. Little did I anticipate how much I'd be able to curb my wanderlust (read: deprive myself) in exchange for a healthy pregnancy and a happy, "routined" baby, even if it meant not travelling outside Singapore for 2 years, ...

Family vacation in Phuket / Part 2: Beach and Water activities
Since our first trip together, the Bo & I always have a habit of bringing TWO cameras along for our trip. He'd bring his and I'd bring mine so that we wouldn't get annoyed learning how to use each other's cameras and fight over one at a certain moment. Eventually we also realised that it was rather nice seeing varying perspectives of our holiday through our individual styles of ... Read More
family vacation in Phuket / Part 1 – our first overseas family trip
FINALLY! After 3 years, we finally had our first overseas family vacation. As long as it took us to have our first baby. An awfully long time for anyone who used to travel at least twice a year. Honestly, I didn't think my travelling pleas would go through with the Bo seeing how cautious he was during my first pregnancy with Liam. But after 2 years+ of parenthood, 2 successful staycations ... Read More
Wanderlust
Ahh..the days of couplehood. Oh how I reminisce. When all it took for travel plans to be firmed up was just a few text messages or a phone call between us. When spontaneous travelling and off-the-beaten track trips were celebrated because who cared if the accommodation we were putting up at wasn't child friendly? The Bo has been nagging about wanting to build a bigger nest egg for our little ... Read More
Where I would like to be
Today when I looked at Andy's blog to gain some inspiration, I was blown away by not only her (always) lovely choice of outfits but by the destination she is currently at right now : Santorini, Greece I've been lusting to give the European cities another visit since our maiden one in Oct 2008, but when I saw the backdrop of Santorini in Andy's I couldn't help but go 'WOW'! and kept clicking for ...

Esplanade & Marina Bay Sands
Did a walkabout with Liew (& Cindy) yesterday and captured a few shots which got me realizing...how beautiful Singapore has progressed into. ...and protected we are from natural disasters. (Please help Japan in any little way you can) ... Read More
My 4-day Bangkok shopping marathon
Disclaimer: I tried doing the more photos, less talk kinda thing only to realized that I was too busy shopping and carrying stuff that I didn't have time to take as many photos as I usually would. Blame it on the cheap, fashionable shopping bug baht I didn't really give it much thought when my colleagues warned me a day before my flight to Bangkok on Friday morning at 7am (oh goodness, I ...

Tokyo: Spending the last days of 2010 and first days of 2011
I'm loving every moment of Tokyo. The people, culture, food, meeting up with family, the fresh experience of eating in a local izakaya, skipping on the powder-snowed grounds, staying in a quintessential Japanese hotel - its just filling my heart to the brim with joy. ... Read More
Taiwan Travel Notes – Part II
Day 2, we've no proper itinerary planned, except to know that we wanted to get some scenic views of the city before going crazy shopping on Day 3 & 4. I heard from colleagues that Yangmingshan was a good bet to experience nature at its beauty. So to Yangmingshan we went. Took a train to Taipei Main Station before switching to bus 260 at the bus-stop right aside the HSR (HighSpeedRail) ... Read More
箱根 金乃竹
One of the highly sought ryokans in Hakone has finally replied me that they do have availability after all. But this will cost me 888 sgd / person because it is known as 'SEASONAL price'. And strange enough, the normal price (which is approx. 30% cheaper) will be valid if I choose to go 2 days later. [note to self: willing to spend for Bo's birthday but not to this extreme. already ... Read More
