I have always been curious about Pulau Ubin – an island off our mainland. For more than a decade, Cynthia and I and some of our friends have been talking about visiting Pulau Ubin. To cycle, or to observe the wildlife. For some reasons, all that talk does not seem to go anywhere. Earlier last [...]

Corsica Is A Beautiful Island – Our Day 2 Adventure
May 14th, 2011 4 Comments
I have contemplated long and hard if I should pick up the courage, finish up the journal today before heading for a new trip to Spain tomorrow. It would have been odd to talk about our trip to France when we have already moved onto our next destination. So I put aside some time today, [...]

Corsica Is A Beautiful Island – Our Day 1 Adventure
March 20th, 2011 2 Comments
I must be amongst the laziest people in the world. It would be embarrassing if I am unable to publish a complete set of journal for our trip to France last year before we head to Spain later this year. Corsica is a beautiful island. We saved the best for the last. Looking back, we [...]

Picture this with me. Across the road, you have found the entrance to a museum. It is your first visit. Outside the museum, there are stalls crowded with curious shoppers, genuine shoppers of all ages. Stepping inside, the high ceiling hall is brightly lit filled with youngsters dressed in trendy clothing socializing with one another, [...]

How I Met My Mother (At A Dumpster She Said)
November 17th, 2010 6 Comments
In one Spanish class, our teacher Alejandra posed a question: How did you meet that someone important in your life? For those who have kids at home, you must have been bombarded by soul searching questions like this. What a way to relive your childhood. As for me, attending a Spanish class is as close [...]

Gorges Du Verdon Is Gorgeous
November 1st, 2010 12 Comments
Gorges du Verdon is located in the South of France, around 100 km away from Nice. For those who wonder what a gorge is (like I do), a gorge is a deep ravine craved out by a river over a long time. To experience the gorges is best by car. The scenic route we took [...]

A Productive Day At St-Tropez, St-Paul-de-Vence, And More
October 18th, 2010 2 Comments
Although I do enjoy writing travel journals, as the chapter draws towards the end, it often gets more tedious. Historically, Cynthia and I become more productive towards the end of a holiday. Perhaps we are more used to the holiday rhythm. Or perhaps since we often cover the cultural aspect of the trip before the [...]

This post is dedicated to my buddy Alex in Hong Kong for making our short trip so much more colorful. Thank you buddy! We shall arrange a trip to visit Macau some time in the not so far future, preferably one that coincides with a concert of a superstar (read: Ayumi Hamasaki). We have visited Lamma Island [...]

2010 SingTel F1 Grid Girls Crowning Party – A Media Event
September 17th, 2010 10 Comments
What a great media event! I mean, fast cars and pretty women should go side by side with one another. I am an avid fan of Formula One and have been watching every single match on TV. Singapore circuit is special. Not only because it is a night race, an anti-clockwise circuit, but also because [...]
