    Less is More at S Paul Hotel, Limassol

    Hello, everyone! I was in Cyprus for two weeks and am now happy to share with you about S Paul Hotel, a beautiful hotel where I stayed during my business trip in Limassol. First of all, special thanks to my Chief Marketing Officer, Alfonso Cardalda and Exness for organizing the business trip! Without the team building event, I would never had the chance to visit the offices in Cyprus. Also, thank you for the generous budget and freedom in allowing me to choose where to stay #blessed πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ’› Actually, I want to share with you about my Troodos Jeep Safari adventure this week, but there are too many photos to…

    Hermanus & Almost Whale Watching, South Africa

    This week, I feel like taking you to Hermanus, South Africa, and show you how beautiful this seaside town is. This is thanks to how I currently feel while writing this blog post β€” serene yet wavy like the ocean, waiting for the day I meet my childhood crush (fangirling over Maksim Mrvica) πŸŽΉπŸ™ˆβ€οΈ I decided to come to South Africa in October because it was the season for whale watching. Travellers would flock to Hermanus, boarding a ship to see the whales, sharks, and other marine animals up close. On the way to Hermanus, I kept replaying Michael Jackson’s song “Will You Be There” and the scene when Willy…

    Admiring God’s Wonderful Creations in South Africa

    There are many beautiful countries that I’ve travelled to but I don’t know why, when I was in South Africa, I couldn’t stop thanking God that I was able to see this beautiful country with my own eyes. Not only blessed with fertile soil, exotic culture, and amazing wildlife, South Africa is also home to stunning views. I was enchanted by God’s wonderful creations! Visitting the country reminds me what a genius artist He is… In this blog post, I will share a few destinations in South Africa with amazing views. I won’t reveal them all in one post because some places have their own story that I want to…

    How to Get a Spot at 3 Michelin Star Restaurants

    First of all, special thanks to Exness, the company I work at, for giving me the opportunity. Without the generous annual flight ticket/hotel allowance, I wouldn’t have an extra budget to eat at a 3 Michelin star restaurant. This weekend, I’ll be flying after two years of hiatus. 2022 Summer holiday feels special because I managed to get a spot at a 3 Michelin restaurant in Paris 🀩🀩🀩 Of course, the process was full of sweat and determination. You literally have to be kiasu, FOMO, adopt a ‘can-do’ attitude, persistent, pray every day, and have a little bit of luck. Or you can also get some tips from this blog…

    I Fell into Depression. These Things Helped Me to Heal

    I fell into depression for almost a week and just recovered today, the day I’m writing this article. At first, I didn’t want to update this blog but now I feel maybe some of you need to read this and survive. I never thought that it would happen to me. Throughout the pandemic, I’ve been blessed. I have a job, steady income, a company that takes care of me well, comfortable shelter and plenty of food to eat. I’m also healthy. So why did I fall into depression? You, depression? You’re not even suffering, you should be grateful! Yes, I know. As much as I repeated the ‘I’m blessed, I’m…

    Thank You 2020, You’ve Been a Blessing

    This year, nobody can escape the impact of the arrival of Covid-19. As you may have read in the news, some have it very tough, some not so, and the rest may be even richer than before (hint: Zoom, Amazon, the 1% society). I myself find the year 2020 a blessing. Compared to the lockdown and no travel this year, I feel that God opened the floodgate of blessings to me. I’m sorry if this isn’t the case for you… I treat my blog as a diary, hence I always write a yearly review as the last post of the year.  Blessed 2020 β€” Career I landed a new job…
