Last week, I had an unpleasant experience with a pervert stalker. Ah, I should say it was a horror-comedy incident, as it left me terrified AND amused at the same time! So, this pervert is an exhibitionist — which means he feels sexually satisfied by exposing his private part to a stranger. Luckily, last week the man was in commando so I didn’t have to bear such obscene (no consent = obscene!) Commando (sexual slang) When you’re not wearing any underwear underneath your outer clothes. If I would cut the story short, he pretended to ask for direction but then started to please himself in front of me. I ran…

Visitting Che Guevara Mausoleum in Santa Clara & Cienfuegos Day Trip, Cuba
Where should we go this week, amigos? What about a historical day trip to the Che Guevara Mausoleum in Santa Clara and some interesting destinations in Cienfuegos? April is coming soon! It’s always a special month because back in 2018, I took the longest flight ever to Cuba. If you fly to Cuba just for Havana, trust me, you’ll REGRET it. The country is famous for its history, with Che Guevara Mausoleum as one of the must-visit destinations. Santa Clara was founded in 1689 by families who were running from pirate threats in coastal Remedios. Besides the memorial place, I’ll also take you to Cienfuegos, a small town about 1…

One Day Trip: Discovering San Marino
Some things happened last week but this blog post won’t be melancholy. I’ll let you know at the end of the article, okay? Meanwhile, let me take you to San Marino, a country on top of a hill, nearby Italy. I spent one day there and although it was short, the medieval old town and its cobblestone streets will charm you. Before I embarked on my Italy trip, I wished that I would bump into Valentino Rossi, especially in San Marino. It didn’t happen but I had so much fun! The Lady and the Valley of San Marino Not sure why I feel poetic when writing this post! I like…

I Joined a Cheap Beijing Tour. This is How It Feels
Inspired by the Chinese New Year that just ended, this week I’ll share my experience joining a cheap Beijing tour. If you’re a Malaysian or have been living in Malaysia and love travelling, MATTA Fair – an annual travel fair organized by the Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents, is something we always look forward to. There are huge selections of local, Asia and overseas tours at the fair. If your destination is somewhere in Asia, you’ll find many cheap packages. However, I have to agree with the saying “you get what you pay”. If you’re thinking to take a cheap tour to Beijing or China, this post may…

Turning Thirty
I turned thirty last week. Finally, this petite girl is thirty! I should make sure that I keep petite and not gain a lot of weight during MCO 2.0 (Movement Control Order) hahaha… Originally, I planned to celebrate it with my family at the newly-opened Maria’s Signature at KLCC as they’re having a Buy-1-Free-1 Wagyu promotion. Alas, our prime minister announced MCO 2.0 a few days before my big day. However, I feel grateful and blessed that I and the ones I loved are healthy. Furthermore, it would be my first (and hopefully, the last) birthday during the pandemic. I have a story to tell to young people when I…

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 — Career I landed a new job…

Helsinki Travel: from Rock Church to Contemporary Arts
Some of you may have planned for a year-end trip or winter holiday. Although now most of us can only dream about travelling, this week I’ll take you to a far, far away country where Santa Claus is residing – Finland. We’ll have a virtual tour of Helsinki: The Rock Church, Sibelius Monument, Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art and Suomenlinna. I may only spend two days in Helsinki during the autumn of 2017, but whenever the end of the year is approaching, I would look back at my Northern Europe trips. Well, let’s start our virtual tour! Helsinki Travel: The Rock Church The Rock Church isn’t a regular church. It…

Trastevere, a Hidden Gem in Rome
I’m sorry that recently I only update this blog once every two weeks. I don’t have the mood to share travel stories when many people are tired of the lockdown (like me) or facing financial problems. But! I realized that I feel happy when I recall summer trips when the sun shines so bright and the air feels light. Therefore, this week I want to share with you my lovely experience in Trastevere, a hidden gem in Rome, Italy. Finding Trastevere, a Hidden Gem in Rome I reached Rome in the afternoon and had a quick lunch at the airport (something that I regret). By the time I put my…
