I am writing this from the hospital room – confined in between these pink walls and diseases, on this uncomfortable sofa bed that I begin to despise next to my mother. It is a couple of hours before midnight and the lights are out, I could hear a faint sound of the nurse alarm that would go off every now…
Life & Death And A Little Update.
I have been rather occupied with insurmountable responsibilities for the past couple of weeks. I have been driving my mother to and fro the hospital and next week, she will be warded for her upcoming surgery. Nothing major, i hope. Without pretence, i despise being in the hospital. The space reeks of antiseptic smell that reminds me of life and…
My Favourite Photo Editing Apps!
One of the most frequent questions i get recently is, “What apps do you use to edit your photos?” and so i thought, i should share with you some of the apps that i love! Please note that i am not a professional when it comes to editing which is more than conspicuous and i have so much to learn…
Japan Guide: Transportation in Japan. How hard can it be?
While i was planning for our trip to Japan, knowing that i could not speak or read their language gave me some sort of anxiety. I was after all, in charge of leading this group of ten and i tried my very best to do all the research and get all the information i could possibly muster to ensure that…
An unexpected encounter on V-day.
Like any other day, Valentine’s day is just another day for Farrace and I. Sure, for the first few years, we would be celebrating it at a high-end restaurant and he would be surprising me with some roses and it was good while it lasted. Along the years, i have come to realise that Valentine’s day is just like any…
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…
Bullet train & Suggested 3-day itinerary in Kyoto
Truthfully, Kyoto has got to be one of the most beautiful cities i have ever been to. Kyoto is Japan’s seventh largest city and it encompasses exceptional historic value. From our B&B in Hakone, we took an hour bus ride to Odawara Station; activated our 7-day JR pass to catch the bullet train (Shinkansen) to Kyoto. I had never seen…
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…
Au revoir, 2017
This time last year, i remember being at this precise spot, curled up in my bed, knowing deep in my heart that this year would be an onerous one. I remember telling my mom this, “Something tells me that i have to equip myself for funerals.” A part of me knew it was going to be filled with sadness and…
Christmas Wonderland in Singapore & Vlog!
Greetings! My brother, my mother and I have just got back from Singapore a few days ago. While my mom was out, me, being the most wonderful thoughtful sister i am, i had to take care of my not so little brother. So i took him to Christmas wonderland at Gardens by the Bay, the Aquarium, the Universal Studios and…
