Singapore Botanic Gardens – UNESCO Heritage Site
Singapore Botanic Gardens was inscribed as a UNESCO Heritage site on 4 July 2015. The whole of Singapore was in a celebratory mood when it was awarded this accolade. During weekends, this park is full of locals doing their jogging, running, walking, dog walking, children enjoying themselves and people having a picnic. If you are a traveller to this “little red dot” (Singapore) and you love to visit a park, then you should try to pay a visit to this park. Besides, it is also a great way for family bonding. As for me, I used this opportunity to test run the camera function of iPhone XS. This garden is…

Petrosains, The Discovery Centre Kuala Lumpur
Petrosains Kuala Lumpur has been given the high rating on TripAdvisor’s reviews and on Google Reviews. It is one of the top attractions in Kuala Lumpur. I have been to KL many times but each time had given this place a miss. So I decided to plan a half a day trip to visit this highly recommended attraction from global wanderers as well as the locals, to see what the fuss is about. First, the location. Petrosains is located within the Petronas KLCC, in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. So it is very easy to find the place by public transport or taxi. In addition, KLCC has lots of retail…

Being in a tropical country, Bali is the ultimate beach vacation for everyone, albeit for honeymoon or relaxation. Voted as one of the top destinations to visit in TripAdvisor, Bali is full of culture things to explore such as food, temples, handcrafts markets, dance, entertainments and more. I have been to Bali twice and each time I stayed in different hotels. One was a couple trip and another one was a family trip with kids. Both times, I truly enjoyed this beautiful island and its hospitality. So here I wish to share with you my tips on where to stay and what to do on this sunny island in Indonesia. What…

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…

Things to do in Universal Studios Japan (USJ) in Osaka
Who loves to go on a theme park adventure? I do. Universal Studios Japan or most people like to call it, USJ, is the most family friendly place you can find in Osaka. However, it is also the most crowded place you can find in Osaka too. This vastly huge place can become cramped before it opens its gates to the thousands of visitors that come here daily. I had the privilege to witness this madness on my visit during the recent Osaka trip. We went to USJ early. “Early” means we arrived at USJ before it opened its gate. We reached the front gate at 8.30am on a Wednesday…

The view of Osaka city from Umeda Sky Building
Do you like to visit tall buildings, bell towers, Ferris wheels or architectural sites to take a bird’s eye view of the whole city that you visit? I think I did this in most of the cities I visited for the past few years. The view from tall structure always gives me the estimates of how big or small of the cities. And sometimes it accompanies with the explanations of how the cities grow from small towns to what they are now. So, that’s why I pay a visit to Umeda Sky Building to enjoy the view of Osaka. After visiting Osaka Museum of History, we took the subway train…

The first day of 2018
It had been raining since the night before (new year’s eve) till this morning when I woke up from bed. So naturally I thought today (new year’s day) I would probably stay indoor the whole day. The weather forecast had predicted a wet day too. However, to my surprise, the rain finally stopped in the afternoon and I decided to go to the nearest park for a walk with my family, to enjoy the outdoor. After changing into our exercise gears, off we went to West Coast Park. Usually, we would bring along our bicycles or get rental bikes at the park to cycle along the tracks. However, being a…

Science Center Singapore
I have been scratching my head to plan trips or programs for my kids during the six-weeks year-end school holidays. And then, there was an article about Science Center Singapore that my Hubby read and suggested to me to bring the kids there. So there we go! We had not been to Science Center for years so to our surprise that we found out the ticketing counters have moved to the right in front of McDonald’s. We only knew about this when a security guard asked us politely whether we were visiting the centre and the tickets could be bought at the ticketing booth in front of the McDonald’s. As…
