    A day in Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson Malaysia

    The kids were having a school break and we decided to go for a road trip in Malaysia and stayed in one of the award-winning resorts, Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson. I had been to Port Dickson many years ago with friends and we stayed in a chalet near the beach. At that time, there wasn’t any water villa above the sea. So this time, I want to fulfil my dream of at least staying in a water villa once in my lifetime. Port Dickson is not too far away, about three and a half hours drive from Singapore. It is one of the coastal towns near Kuala Lumpur. Not a…

    Favourite Place – Florence Duomo

    These few days I have been looking at my Italy trip’s photos for my Italy blog post. Going through all those pictures just like walking down memory lane, all the fond memories of the trip hit me like tidal waves. Among the places I visited in Italy, Florence Duomo is my favourite. The Duomo was very tall which made me look tiny and insignificant. The colourful exterior of the building and the orangish dome gave out good feeling vibes. But what I like the most is climbing to the top of the Duomo and looking down at the magnificent Florence city. The view just blew my mind. Here are the photos…

    I’d rather be…having a vacation by the sea

    Living in a city state, there is always the hustling and bustling of traffic and people. Space is limited and noise is inevitable. It represents speed and efficiency. However, it also creates stress and anxiety. So, to escape all these, I’d rather be near the sea, soaking my feet in a pool or sand and watch the sun goes up and down in a slow fashion. Listening to the splash of waves, watching the tides changing its level, observing the ripples on the water surface, smelling the salty air that blown towards my face and having light kisses from the gentle breeze. A vacation near the sea is where I’rather…

    A face in the crowd

    I was trying to capture the charm of a quiet alley in Spain and just snap the photo. Inevitably, my travel partner became my subject in the photo. It could probably interpret as a lone traveller walking down a quiet street in the middle of a big city. To me, it serves as a portrait of him having travel to this part of the world, wandering and lost in this city. The following are some of the faceless portraits I had shown in some of my blog posts. Check them out if you are interested. Ladies in kimono while walking in Kyoto. The kimonos were so vibrant in colours I…

    Sweet

    Valentine’s Day is a day where couples shower each other with sweetness, whether it is chocolates, desserts or a sweet gesture of giving a rose. Even towards family members, giving sweetness like cooking a meal, playing games together or simply spending time accompany each other to show their love to one another. This Valentine’s Day I decided to have brunch at The Coffee Academic at Scott Square Singapore. This was where I tried this dubbed as ‘the most Instagrammed coffee in the World’, Coffee In The Cone. The interior of the cone is coated with chocolate. Instead of ice cream, warm coffee is added into the cone. A stirrer is…
