Hello, friends! This week, I want to rant. No, just kidding 😂 I recently stop seeing someone and want to share my thoughts. Perhaps some of you are struggling with relationships, who knows this article somewhat relates to you… I won’t mention his name or go into details to protect his privacy. After all, I like him and wish him well, though we don’t end up together. We can like someone but be incompatible. Life happens. Okay… I’ll start by sharing some of my “HAA??😦” moments. There were times when I literally went “HAA??😦” inside when we were together. I don’t know how to explain them to you, so I’ll…

Soweto Day Trip, Mandela House and more in South Africa
Hallo, hallo everyone! This week, let me take you back to South Africa for a Soweto day trip, including Nelson Mandela’s house. When it comes to South Africa, people think of safari, Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Pretoria. However, Soweto, a township in Gauteng, Johannesburg is not to be missed. I extended one day so I could join this Soweto day trip where I could: So, this day trip was more about a history and culture trip. Yes, it’s a small group tour. But I like joining a group tour when visitting a destination for the first time, so I can understand the story behind what I see 😊 Visitting Nelson…

Malaysia Day Trip: Pulau Ketam (Crab Island)
Alohaaa, friends! This week, let me take you on a Malaysia day trip to Pulau Ketam (Crab Island)🦀😊 Last week, my auntie and uncle visited me. It wasn’t their first time in Malaysia, they’d seen the city and some places. So, we decided to visit Pulau Ketam for a change of scenery. In the previous blog post, I shared with you my favourite seafood restaurants. Pulau Ketam was also famous for its fresh and affordable seafood, especially crabs! To reach this island, first, you have to go to Pelabuhan Klang (Port Klang), then buy return tickets to board a small ship to the island. Return tickets cost you RM20, while…

Vietnam Day Trip: Tam Chuc Pagoda
Hi, friends! I hope you’re doing well so far, it’s already the middle of the month 😁 This week, I’ll take you for a day trip to Vietnam to see Tam Chuc Pagoda, one of the largest pagodas in the world. Prepare your walking shoes, jacket, and hat for the long walk! I went to see this famous Buddhist temple with my mom and sister. One of the perks of joining a group tour is you can visit far far away places without having to worry about transportation. According to Google, it takes around 1 hour and 15 minutes from Hanoi to Tam Chuc Pagoda. It was a wonderful day…

Best Seafood in Malaysia: Restoran Makanan Laut Jeti & Veg Fish Farm Thai
Hi, everyone! This week, let me take you to the two best seafood restaurants in Malaysia: Restoran Makanan Laut Jeti and Veg Fish Farm Thai. The content in this blog post is my own opinion and it’s not a paid post 😉 Actually, this blog post is inspired by my colleagues. On certain occasions, some colleagues from the Cyprus office will come to Malaysia and they are mostly white. One day, during a company event, I saw a colleague happily filled up his plate with crispy butter prawns. He said that he never had it before, especially the butter crisps. Him: “It’s very nice!! We don’t have this in Cyprus.”…

Amsterdam: Van Gogh Museum, Canal Cruise & Red Light District
Whenever spring comes, I always think of tulips. But I don’t know why, I don’t have the desire to go to Amsterdam to see the tulips bloom… maybe not yet 😅 So, this week, let me take you to Van Gogh Museum and stroll Amsterdam. We’ll board on a cruise twice and visit the famous red light district too! I went to Amsterdam twice on separate tours, just because the itinerary includes the city. Even so, I haven’t finished enjoying everything the city offers. If I ever go to Amsterdam again, I’d love to visit Gieethoorn 🌷⛵💖 Okay, so, on my first trip, I explored Amsterdam and the famous red…

Overseas Wedding Invitation: Yes or No?
Hi everyone, I hope you had productive days this week. It’s almost Friday, woohoo!! 🎉💃🕺 Actually, I wanted to share with you my Amsterdam trip this week but something changed my mind. First, let me ask you a question: if you get a wedding invitation but it’s overseas, will you go? Okay, let’s flashback a bit. I was scrolling Facebook until I saw my friend post images of how each zodiac sign apologises. I laughed so hard on the train 🤣🤣🤣 Of course, the image above is meant to be a joke. I’ll share with you the rest of the images later on. So, back to the topic. That image…

Hanoi Trip: Bánh Mì, Café Dinh Egg Coffee, Train Street, Sen Tây Hồ Buffet
This week, let me take you on a food tour in Hanoi! We’ll be sampling the famous bánh mì (Vietnamese-style baguette), Café Dinh’s egg coffee, and visitting the train street + a popular buffet restaurant, Sen Tây Hồ 😋 I had one last good brunch on Era Cruises before the tour group departed for Hanoi. It was good weather for a Hanoi trip, not too sunny or cloudy. There was a small boat that transferred us back to the cruise port. From Halong Bay, we took the express highway and reached Hanoi in just two hours. Else, it would take four hours! On the way to Hanoi, we stopped in a…
