Wednesday 19th April This morning I bid farewell to Zab and John and arrived at Bangkok airport with acres of time to kill. I checked my bags in and then went to get the 500 Baht out of the ATM for airport tax (another delightful perk for tourism in Bangkok). I keyed in the usual info a the ATM an…

Vesak Day, also known as the Buddha's birthday, is celebrated by Buddhists worldwide and is earmarked as a public holiday in Singapore.This year, Vesak Day falls on 20 May 2008. Expect celebrations to be held islandwide as the population in Singapore is predominantly Chinese, many of whom practice …

We spent a month in Singapore doing repairs and that kind of stuff. Halloween was an amazing night in Sing. I sure felt it the next day.

At this time tomorrow, I'll probably be relieved that I survived a treacherous journey from Narita to Shinjuku. Thing is, I probably will be alright, but there are a million and one nagging fears - what if I can't understand a single thing anyone is saying, or what if I don't understand the signboa…

I landed back in Singapore at 5am after about 10 days in Bangladesh.  I was so happy to get back to a more civilized place!!  I took a cab to the Swisshotel Merchant Court and soon got to my room to lay down for a bit.  I woke up around 12 and headed across the street to a shopp…

OMG I was so happy today when I was walking around downtown before my flight to Malaysia and saw DQ.  After being in Japan for 3 years seeing it was like seeing your new born for the first time :)   Downtown Singapore was great couldn't believe all stores.  It was great walking …

Damn a band new fancy currency and prices have gone up again. Is this a plot to ease me back into paying proper prices for stuff. The wonderous Baht seems a distant memory. However the 'hostel' we are staying in is gorgeous, a short walk into town and up a hill, the room for 30 quid a night is bett…

As what the title says, from Sydney to Singapore. We took our flight from Sydney, slight delays this time and reached Singapore around 12am. My 10 days vacation in Australia was so great that I wished I never need to come home. Maybe, I'd come back to the same places next year. But in my mind, I'm …

I have returned to singapore after 4 years and i have seen lots of changes. Looking forward to the next trip there in a few years time.

Clean, efficient, friendly, Singlish, lots of fines, awesome public transportation, easy to get around, and not to mention cheap delicious food. I've been eating nonstop since I got here. This is Singapore, where people obey the laws or else...

I'm actually a motivator in Chingay! So I managed to take pretty lots of pictures(: Enjoy! Chingay is actually the biggest street parade in Asia! There are firecrackers and fireworks! Firecrackers are disallowed in Singapore, thus this is a good opportunity to gain the Chinese new year atmosphere.(:

Many travelers, including myself, are very passionate about the photos they take while abroad. I'm offering a few tips and tricks on how to dazzle your friends with unbelievable photos upon your return and not bore them with 10000 poorly framed snap shots of you and your pals in front of another statue. After all photos are for bragging about trips. Right?

Everywhere I've been. Most places anyways.

Weekend in Singapore - Jurong Bird Park, Chinese Gardens

Singapore is to date one of my favorite places i've visited because the impression it left me during my visit.  The people where very friendly and just to give you an example, my friends and I got lost coming home from the club in Boat Quay. We got off the wrong MRT station (rail system that g…
