We have been wanting to sail on a Royal Caribbean ship for a while. We were even considering doing one of those cruises to nowhere that were operating during the pandemic but for some reason or the other it never happened.

Sri Lanka: Sun, Sand and Sea
Just back from a super relaxing holiday in Sri Lanka. I was travelling with my girl friends from university. Needless to say their company was the highlight of the trip especially because we were travelling together after ten years. I wasn’t sure what to expect given the recent economic crisis. However, things appear to be... Continue Reading →
Switzerland: 10 Days In Winter Wonderland
Early this year, we spent 10 days in the Swiss Alps to celebrate my dear husband's birthday. He complains that we never travel on his birthday so I went all in to make it a memorable trip. We have been wanting to do a 'white' winter vacation for a while and it was a dream... Continue Reading →
Ipoh: 4 Day Itinerary and Christmas Long Weekend
We travelled to Ipoh for the Christmas long weekend this year. We rarely travel during December— prefer to avoid the holiday crowds. I was a bit worried that Ipoh will feel very busy as well, but it was quite ok. The busiest day was Christmas; felt like everybody is out on the streets. Otherwise, we... Continue Reading →

The coast is beautiful and there are plenty of nice cafes. We stayed for 3 nights in Bangrak at the very beautiful Erawan Villas and a night... Continue Reading →

Barcelona, Spain Highlights
We took our first long (ish) holiday post-COVID in April this year. We chose Spain because it offered a bit of all the European charm--great food and wine, good weather, mountains and beaches. Add to that, super convenient entry requirements i.e. no tests needed for vaccinated travellers and we were sold. We started our trip... Continue Reading →
Ritz Carlton, Singapore Staycation
2021 was probably the most difficult year I have had so far. I was yearning to see my family, itching to travel and just in many ways wanting to get back to a ‘normal’ state. After our multiple travel plans got shelved due to the omicron variant, we did a staycation at Ritz Carlton in... Continue Reading →
Staycation at Mandarin Oriental, Singapore
Early December, we took a 3 day break for a staycation in Singapore's central business district at Mandarin Oriental. We are not big fans of staycation but it turned out to be a really relaxing getaway from our 'work from home' drill. For me, work from home has turned out to be more exhausting as...

It's a small street filled with hip cafes-- Tiramisu Hero, Chye Seng Huat, Black fairy coffee, Wimbly Lu etc. I have been a regular at Tiramisu Hero in the past. They serve great tiramisu in a variety of flavours and... Continue Reading →
