Water to Calm the Spirit
Rather calming to sit beside an aquarium. Or a fountain and listen to the splash of the water. Makes you focus on something else and life doesn’t seem so heavy in that moment. Water has that effect on our spirits. … Continue reading

Happy Easter
Wanted to come up with a post relevant to Easter and Good Friday. Well, at least the commercial side of it – who doesn’t love those colourful eggs and chocolate bunnies. Haven’t been to the malls much lately, but this … Continue reading

Delayed Gratification
I’m a sucker for immediate gratification. I guess it’s the reason why I pick a greasy burger over a salad even though the salad will make me feel light and energetic an hour after, while the burger would make me … Continue reading

Hanoi: Sofitel Metropole
The highlight of the trip to Hanoi was the stay at the elegant Sofitel Metropole and besides the fact that it was beautiful with great service was the fact that it has so much historical significance. Recently a bomb shelter … Continue reading

Attempting to Eat Healthy in Singapore

Children in Hanoi During Tet
The children in Hanoi were enchanting, posing for their parents during the Tet festival. The Vietnamese people seem to be very family oriented and I noticed they were very gentle and loving with their kids. Here were children tucking into … Continue reading
People Watching in Hanoi
Something I enjoy during travels is people watching. I like to observe the current fashion in the country as well. Just like in Singapore, red seems to be a lucky colour for Tet (the Vietnamese new year). Girls tend to … Continue reading
Preferred Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi
I travelled to Hanoi recently, but have hesitated to write about the trip in fears of seeming horribly ungrateful. We should never be ungrateful when it comes to travel and every new cultural experience expands our horizons. The thing is, … Continue reading
Remember when Adrien Brody Kissed Halle Berry?
Just had to relive this touching Oscar moment. I’m a huge fan of Adrien Brody and I wish all speeches could be this genuine and witty as well. Watching it again I couldn’t help but feel touched. Watched The Pianist … Continue reading
