Hello Santorini.... Hello Fira!!!! Kalimera!!!!

2013-05-18T04:21:00.002+10:00

I'm going to put aside my China trip and blog about Santorini first because I'm more excited to write about Santorini than China. Hahahaha... I'm going to start with the first post on Fira and some travel tips, then Oia, my hotel and the wedding I attended. Contrary to popular belief, Santorini is not really an expensive holiday destination. The food there is pretty affordable, traveling around

Going for the biggest trip to date, this year

Hello everyone!!! I'm currently in KLIA waiting for my flight while enjoying my cup of rose petal tea at the Harrods. If you don't know, Harrods has a branch at KLIA departure hall, it is only accessible if you have boarding pass. To be honest, I don't fancy the food here, but it is a very convenient place to sit down and have your laptop on while waiting. There's a free wifi here too! It is

Doing Non-Tourist Thingy... Late Afternoon Walk at Suzhou Creek

2013-05-04T02:56:00.001+10:00

When traveling to another country, do something which is common to the locals. That way, you'll feel more involved in the way of living and gain a memorable experiences that you cannot have while doing tourist stuff. While in Suzhou, we join hundreds of locals at the Suzhou Creek banks. They are probably doing what they do on a daily basis, but for me, it is once in a lifetime experience.

Stay in a Chinese Palace in Pan Pacific Suzhou, China

2013-04-28T01:49:00.000+10:00

Have you ever dream of staying over in a Chinese Palace before? It's much easier to do it in real life than dreaming. Pan Pacific in Suzhou is designed like a real palace and every guest is treated like an emperor/empress. When I first arrived Suzhou, I didn't know that this is supposedly a hotel. I was wondering what palace or temple that the driver brought us to. Check out the magnificent

Travel Back in Time at Hangzhou Qinghefang Ancient Street

2013-04-17T16:39:00.000+10:00

If your trip to China is to get close to the ancient Chinese side, you should take a stroll at Qinghefang Ancient Street in Hangzhou. A stretch of 2km shophouses are preserved (some refurbished) to keep that ancient feel. Earlier I blogged about the old Chinese tea house in Hangzhou, it's also located along this street. I made a separate post is because that tea house was really unique. (

2013-04-15T20:04:00.002+10:00

My travelogue is getting a bit messy lately. Sometimes when I travel back-to-back, I don't have the time to update my travelogue according to the timeline. I'm trying to rearrange everything by posting up places of interest in China, followed by Bangkok, Yangon and then I'm going to show you guys some cool stuff in Penang, my hometown. Today I'm going to show you guys the No. 1 must-visit place

West Lake, Hangzhou: One of the place you MUST visit before you die

2013-04-13T18:17:00.000+10:00

West Lake (also known as Xihu), Hangzhou is arguably one of the most written places on earth. Even though I am not Chinese literate, I have came across many poems and classic literature that feature the beauty of the West Lake. About 2,000 years ago, West Lake was part of Qiantang River. The force of nature shifted place and the surrounding mountain shape the river into a form of lake.

WeChat Launched in Malaysia

2013-04-04T17:16:00.001+11:00

I started blogging 12 years ago. In those days, there's no such thing as social media. Bloggers just write whatever they want online like a diary. The blogger community was so small, we practically know each other. We communicated through SMS (which cost a bomb), IRC, email and meet up in mamak stall once a blue moon. Do you remember those days? Then came the social media big bang.

Weird Creatures in Siam ocean World Bangkok

2013-02-23T20:16:00.001+11:00

In the previous post on Madame Tussauds Bangkok, I’ve mention that there is a combination ticket available for Madame Tussauds and Siam Ocean World. If you purchase the combination ticket, it only cost 1360baht for both sites. After visiting Madame Tussauds, I took a stroll from Siam Discovery to Siam Paragon for my next visit.... the Siam Ocean World. It is totally worth it!!! There are

Madame Tussauds Bangkok Visiting Tips

2013-02-17T18:24:00.001+11:00

It’s been awhile since I blog about my trip. These days I’m more interested in cleaning my house than facing the computer. Don’t know what’s becoming of me. Anyway, I have to let you guys know about Madame Tussauds in Bangkok. I didn’t know there’s a Madame Tussauds museum in Bangkok. Since there’s nothing much to blog about Madame Tussauds museum (they’re all wax figures, what’s there to talk

When I passed through the Magnum Cafe at Siam Centre, there was a huge crowd. You'll know the food is good when there's a long queue outside.

Hong Kong Disneyland again!!! And the new park Grizzy Gulch

2013-01-24T02:35:00.000+11:00

Few months ago, I had to take over my parent's job because they wanted to go for a long holiday. In that few months I was working, I get really agitated, moody and tired all the time. Simple thing can really get on my nerves. I was screaming at everyone in the shop. And I thought I was going into depression and needed medical help. Actually, all I need is a vacation! Last year around this time

Wellness at a Discount at Massage Parlours Melbourne

2013-01-22T15:59:00.003+11:00

Eating healthy, avoiding alcohol, tobacco and drugs and moderate exercise keep you reasonably fit and healthy. But is that all there is to wellness? The world now knows about hot oil massages, spa treatments and steam baths and their contribution to a state of well being. Laughing is another way you feel really “well”. You travel and discover little known places that contribute to your

Kungfu Tea in Taiji Tea House, it's like our teh tarik

2012-12-31T06:05:00.002+11:00

Hello everyone! Long time no see. I've been on hiatus on this blog for more than a month. That's cos business on my beauty blog is very good. I even made a couple of bucks from banner ads, advertorials and affiliate program. Business is so good that I have to post two posts per day. I begin to feel like there's no room for me to publish stuff I want to publish willingly. Ads lining up one after

Good Foods in Langkawi

2012-11-22T07:21:00.002+11:00

I haven't been to Langkawi in years. I think the last time was 14 years ago and I don't recall anything from the visit. So when my bestie, Shikin suggested for a quick getaway to Langkawi, I immediately agree. I arrived first before Shikin because I took the earliest ferry. Once I arrived I rented a car and picked her up from the airport. By the time we're done with the check-in and stuff,

Restoran Pinang Peranakan Authentic Nyonya Cuisine in Penang

2012-11-05T03:20:00.001+11:00

I am originally born and bred in Penang. So, food in Penang to me is like... meh. I am hardly impressed and I think food in Penang is so overrated. But that's not the case with this restaurant, therefore I must blog about it. I came to this restaurant by mistake. I told my grandma that I want to have "nyonya food in a famous peranakan restaurant". The restaurant I meant is located in a

How to research for electronic goods with ease of mind

2012-10-18T01:39:00.002+11:00

If you are following me on Twitter, you will know that recently my laptop just died. It was a sudden death, really. I didn’t expect it to die so soon as there was no sign of breaking down. Now I have to set myself to look for a new laptop. I have no idea what brand or what type I’m looking for, so there’s a lot of research need to be done. And I don’t know how a simple task as researching for the

Award Winning Gelato Il Dolce Fredo

2012-10-04T09:08:00.002+10:00

Check out the crowd at Il Dolce Freddo.... I have never seen this shop empty before. True story. And it is always crowded. Always! That is because Il Dolce is famous for their award winning gelato and was made the winner in International Gelato Fair in Longarone Italy in the year 2000. All of their gelatos are made freshly daily. I heard that they really throw away all the gelatos that

Fastest and easiest way to get abs

2012-09-28T01:41:00.002+10:00

You know Kendra from Playboy? She’s my figure idol. I’ve been eyeing on her abs for so long. I know that sounds wrong, but who wouldn’t want her flat toned abs? I know it takes a lot of hard work to achieve that abs I want. I started with protein diet, which fails badly because I have no control over my craving for good foods. So I totally ignore that diet plan. Life is too short not to
