SaladStop! has been around in Singapore since 2009 but I have not really checked out this salad cafe until recently. I love having greens for lunch and dinner but SaladStop! isn’t under my list of go-to places for salads. Partly because I was under the impression that the salads there are very expensive and their…
People get excited when they talk about their dreams and the future. Indeed, it’s only when you have a dream that you can create a vision in your head. With a clear vision of where you’re heading to, there will be a higher chance of your vision transforming into reality. A week ago, I was…
When I was studying in Canada in the Summer, I was literally surrounded by beautiful and vibrant-looking flowers everywhere. So I envy the Canadians for being about to enjoy looking at beautiful blooms wherever they go. And that was 10 years ago, when Singapore was just starting to incorporate more greenery in the city. A…
I really find myself enjoying the short getaways to Johor Bahru in Malaysia because there are many hidden finds and places with good local food to try out. Need I say that the price is too good to be true too? However, due the long queues at JB Checkpoint, we ended up spending the whole…
It is my second time here in Hanoi but I haven’t really got to visit the main attractions within Hanoi during my first visit. This time, I get to visit some of the popular tourist attractions like Ho Chi Minh Museum and Imperial Citadel of Thanh Long where I get to learn more about the…

On the second day of our Hanoi trip, we headed down south to Chuong Village which is about an hour and a half bus ride from the city centre in Hanoi. It is approximately 30 km away from Hanoi. We were there for solely to learn how to make traditional Vietnamese conical hats or Non…
Back in the ’80s or ’90s where face serum is probably unheard of, you are probably wondering how serums came into the picture and how it seems to be like a must-have in your collection of skincare products. And this often begs the question of whether the use of face serums is really necessary for the skin. In my opinion, applying…
When I was in Hanoi back in 2009, I only covered a few city attractions. My impression of Hanoi back then wasn’t very good, as compared to the Ho Chi Minh City, where the people are friendlier. The roads were definitely wider here in Hanoi and the people were more outspoken. Now that was ten…
It has always been my dream to equip my home with a surround sound system where I can blast my favourite music 24/7. Listening to a soothing background music can help set the mood – just like how scents can evoke a certain emotions in us. Ideally, I would love to place huge high-quality speakers…
