I am writing this in the midst of a 10-million-year-old rainforest – accompanied by the luscious green as well as the cacophony of insects and other mystical creatures. Occasionally, the trees will start dancing in the wind and other times, it is because of the little playful monkeys that would swing from one branch to another. The sounds and ambience…
How To Apply For International Driving Permit (IDP) For Malaysians?
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. While I have friends who had driven without the IDP, I was told that there are certain rental companies that won’t entertain you if you don’t have an International Driving Permit. When…
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.

Exploring my own city #1 – Thean Hou Temple
The Thean Hou Temple. Living in this country, almost all my life, it had never occurred to me that there are so many places in Malaysia that i have yet to visit. To think about it, i would always come up with doltish and petty excuses like, ‘it is too hot’ or ‘what for? Surely, it won’t be fascinating’….. only…
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…
