Tasmania Trip Day 1: 31st January 2019

My Childhood: The Beach & What I Seek in Travel

Atas Mall with Fresh Orchid Displays
B pointed out that the orchids at the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands are real and if they are replaced regularly must be super expensive. Me and my cousin D love coming to TWG. The outlet here looks nice but … Continue reading

#9. Simple Joys: Wide Walkways & High Ceilings
Because most malls in Singapore are so cramped with narrow walkways I appreciate something like this at the ‘atas’ (Singlish for high class/ snooty) mall The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.

Travel: Longing for Things I Don’t Get in Singapore
Singapore is much safer and has generally much cleaner air than the cities surrounding us and for that I am grateful. It also has my home sweet home, my stuff and my own bed etc. Travel itself is such a … Continue reading

Manifesting Travel
My cousins put up their results of an online travel quiz, so I was curious enough to do it too. They are a dozen years my junior, so in comparison I really haven’t travelled that much. This survey only looks … Continue reading
