We took a 3-night cruise to nowhere onboard Quantum of the Seas before it ended its voyage in Singapore. It was our first time taking a Royal Caribbean cruise and also our first time taking a cruise to nowhere i.e. without any port of call. Initially, I was quite concerned about taking a cruise holiday […]
Time for another hotel stay / mini holiday in Johor Bahru! We wanted to stay away from the city centre and venture to a different part of JB that we hadn’t been to before. And that was how we ended up booking a 3-night stay at the Renaissance Johor Bahru Hotel, which is approximately a […]
We set off early in the morning to make our way to Johor Bahru. Thought there would be a lot of people going in and that traffic would be heavy but it wasn’t so. Didn’t take us long at all to cross the Causeway. Arrived at City Square at around 9am and the mall wasn’t […]

Malaysia is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Its official language is the Malay language. For tourists, […]
Traveling is the most exciting experience to embark upon, especially if you are crossing country borders. With great adventures comes greater responsibilities of making big decisions surrounding your travel diaries. Traveling gives you a run for your money, so every decision you make will either save you money or break the bank. It is exactly […]
Oh wow, how long has it been since I stayed at Marina Bay Sands? 10 or 11 years? Lol, just thinking about it suddenly makes me feel so old! Really been a long, long time so it felt nice to revisit MBS again. It was pretty much a last minute plan to do a staycation […]
There has never been a better time to add travel insurance to your trip plans. Travel is unpredictable and considering that uncertainties might show up even when least expected, it is extremely important to purchase travel insurance for all your trips. Whether you are a first-time traveller or an avid holidaymaker flying from Singapore, investing […]
We checked in for a 2-night stay at Ji Hotel that’s located in the heart of Orchard Road. Tugged away in a quiet road (Penang Lane) just behind the former Park Mall or current UBS Singapore HQ. But only a stone’s throw away from Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station and Plaza Singapura. Its prime location makes […]
It’s spring break time again, which means it’s time to hit the road or air. This is probably the best time to enjoy an extended vacation from your normal routine. However, planning is the most tedious part of a trip and can make you drown even before it starts. That’s why we got some simple, […]
Hiring a domestic helper in Singapore comes with its own set of expectations, both from you and your helper. Your housekeeper’s primary duty is caring for your home and children to the best of her ability, but you also have your own set of responsibilities to fulfill besides providing a basic salary. Many housekeepers in […]
Year in and year out, expatriates and their families flock to the city of Singapore from all over the world. In fact, for more than 15 years running, Singapore has been ranked as one of the most liveable cities in the world for expats. A host of factors contribute to making the island city-state a […]
Don’t let the island’s tiny size fool you—there’s no shortage of reasons why Singapore has long been one of the most beloved travel destinations in Asia and even the world. This sun-drenched city-state is home to myriad iconic tourist spots, world-class shopping, and delectable multicultural cuisine, to name just a few of Singapore’s many wonders. […]
After a whole day of (junk) food-hopping, I was really craving for some soupy dish or noodles to reset my tummy. And hence we picked Ho Min San for dinner. Ho Min San specialises in Cantonese-style rice vermicelli (米线) and Shanghainese pan-fried buns (生煎包). This Chinese restaurant is owned by Dragon-i Group that also manages […]
Non-stop eating action in Johor Bahru continues! We had a mini vacation in JB just so we could have more time to mall-hop and food-hop.? If you’ve not read my previous posts, check out my review on Amerin Hotel Johor Bahru as well as the following – AEON Tebrau City Food Court Chizu & Honzu […]
K-drama fans may be familiar with Isaac Toast, a popular toast sandwich chain from South Korea. The toast shop was featured in the drama Jang Bo-ri Is Here! 张宝利来了 and that was how I got to know about it too. And the good thing is, we don’t have to travel all the way to South […]
Came across Chizu & Honzu as we were walking around AEON Mall Tebrau City in Johor Bahru. It was that fresh-out-of-the-oven aroma that first caught my attention and I just couldn’t resist that tempting scent. Chizu & Honzu are actually two sister brands/companies. Chizu (on the right hand side) specialises in cheese teas/drinks whereas Honzu […]
