My 30th Birthday Celebration At Hotel Jen Tanglin
A Rocky 30 It has been a rocky year. At 30, you start questioning about life and whether what you are doing is all worth it. Although I do not feel like I've aged, I am easily exhausted.

Hostels in Singapore: 5footway.inn Project Ann Siang
From a traveller's perspective, Singapore is one of the most travel-friendly destinations in Asia. From budget hostels to luxury hotels, you can easily find a suitable accommodation that fits your budget.

And I enjoy doing staycations at our local hostels and hotels to see how they fare with the accommodation offered in other countries. Recently, I did a weekend staycation at the READ MORE »
Siloso Beach Resort: The Most Eco-friendly Hotel in Singapore
In general, hotels often consumed the most energy and water to maintain its daily operations. Imagine the amount of electricity used for operating the air-conditioners and lightings? How about the massive supply of water which is required to wash bed linens and towels? I do not have any up-to-date stats to reflect the amount of a typical hotel's energy consumption. I believe the numbers might be too overwhelming for some of us. Numbers aside, at the very least there are hotels which have taken steps to go eco-friendly and have adopted READ MORE »

ibis Singapore on Bencoolen Hotel : The Minimalistic Green Hotel
ibis Singapore on Bencoolen hotel has been around for many years. However not many, including myself, knew about the green initiatives they have practised over the years.

Ibis Styles Singapore on Macpherson: Staycation
If you can travel out of Singapore during the weekends, you can always do a staycation and get into that holiday mood during those two precious days. I enjoy going for staycations because it allows me to explore the little pockets of the neighbourhood in Singapore.
