Is It Compulsory? Do we, Malaysians, really need the International Driving Permit (IDP) if we were to drive in Europe, Australia, Taiwan, etc? The answer is, unfortunately, yes.

Instagrammable places in Kuala Lumpur for a golden instagram feed!
If you are planning for a visit, here are some instagrammable places in Kuala Lumpur. Perhaps, I am biased but Kuala Lumpur has got to be one of my favourite cities in the world.

Day Trip To Malacca
Besides Penang, I have always loved going to Malacca — akin to Penang, rich with heritage buildings, historical sites and colonial structures.

Things to do in Penang + New Year’s Eve!
I have yet to explore my own country in its entirety but i always find myself going back to Penang again and again for a short weekend getaway. Partly because we have an apartment that needs to be cleaned every now and then but predominantly, it is the ambiance, the food and the architectural heritage that keep on beckoning me…
