This first meal marks the start of my 6 day adventure in Hokkaido. It was a long-awaited family trip as my brother wanted to visit Japan so badly and here we are, on a package tour to Hokkaido. I don’t recommend following a tour because the best trips are the ones you conquer a foreign…
Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light. –Vera Nazarian The library is a sanctuary for the mind. I usually hang out at Community libraries flipping through magazines to be in the know. But it isn’t quiet as compared to Library @ Orchard which is…
There’s this resounding joy in my heart when I heard about Green Living, an eco-lifestyle event which was held this month at Marina Bay Convention Centre. Finally, there’s a big gathering ground for all eco-conscious individuals and businesses to come together to learn more about going green and more importantly for me to be inspired…
I am not a seasoned traveller and have not covered most part of the world but I am starting to feel that dreary frequent travellers get when they fly too often. It can be tiring on most parts and less exciting especially when it comes to countries you’ve frequented before. Travelling to merely see and…
ជំរាបសួរ ! (Johm riab sua) Never thought that I would be back in Cambodia anytime soon but here I am, enjoying the peace and tranquility which Siem Reap has to offer. I was invited by Heritage Suites Hotel to stay in their bungalow suite for 2 nights and I must say that it’s one of…

It’s a short 15 minutes ferry ride from Kagoshima port to Sakurajima. Sakurajima is currently still rather active! It is originally an…
Minamata Disease Museum Our day began on a solemn note as we entered Minamata Disease Museum which triggered a memory from my secondary school days where I studied about how the fishes at Minamata bay poisoned its people through bio-accumulation of toxins. The Minamata Disease museum was built with the aim to educate the world…
The visit to Kumamoto castle took us through the history of Japan where the samurai warriors fought their way through victory. There was a bunch of historic information shared by our tour guide, Fumiko, but it was information overloaded. Yes, there’s only so much information you can retain while at the same time, soaking into…
It was a rainy morning as it drizzled continuously. Whether it is rain or shine, our tour continues. At one point in time, it was actually pouring quite heavily. Aso Milk Farm is like themepark with delicious milk softserve, natural beauty products, cute cuddly animals and even a KAWAII resort for families. Welcome to Aso…
