    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 😊🙏💛 Actually, I want to share with you about my Troodos Jeep Safari adventure this week, but there are too many photos to…

    That’s Amore: Some Love Lessons for This Week

    Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! 💖💖💖 I’ve been waiting for this day. Finally, I could meet the Crown Prince of Piano, Maksim Mrvica, in person and watch his concert. Yaaaaay!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Last Valentine’s Day was like: Me: “Do you want to be my boyfriend?” Someone: “I have a girlfriend.” Me: “Okay.” I may sound like it was all good but actually, that stung a bit. However, I feel grateful to have a happy-go-lucky personality. And for past love experiences. After so many heartbreaks, I guess it’s now easier to move on #thisis30s Thank you, next! 💋 Alright, since I’m in a lovey-dovey mood, this week I wanna share some thoughts that…

    3 Michelin Star Review: Epicure, Paris

    Aloha, friends! It feels bittersweet returning from the summer holiday, but life goes on. This week, let me share my first 3 Michelin star dining experience at Epicure, Hotel Le Bristol, Paris 👌✨ For those who are wondering how I managed to get a spot at this upscale hotel restaurant and where the budget came from, you can read my previous blog post here. I’ve dined in some middle-high class restaurants before and recently had my team diner at Nobu, Kuala Lumpur. I feel the food and service at Nobu are great but compared to the 3 Michelin star standard like what I had at Epicure, Paris… It’s another level…

    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…

    Lessons and Highlights of 2021

    Happy New Year! Finally, 2022 is here. Whatever happened last year, let us have new hopes and dreams this year. The blog post for this week will be about me looking back at the lessons and highlights of 2021. Last year was exciting because it felt as if I got my life back, although I decided to postpone my travel. But one thing for sure, I think I’m getting used to postponing my travel plan thanks to Omicron. Yeah, the variants will keep popping out, so we must get used to it. Else we won’t be travelling until the end of the world! I’m just afraid that suddenly the rules…

    Now We Can Dine-in, What to Eat in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor?

    Now that Kuala Lumpur and Selangor are in Phase 2 of MCO (Movement Control Order), the Malaysian government announced that inter-district travel and dine-in are allowed. As a foodie, that means I can cross districts to eat my favourite foods ?? Before this, I always (and still) used a food delivery app to order my lunch and dinner – which is one of my company’s amazing benefits. It’s very convenient, but sadly the riders can’t deliver food from other districts. So you can imagine how happy I was when the restrictions were lifted! I no longer have to depend on the delivery riders, but can personally go to my favourite…
