Kuching Trip: Sarawak River Cruise
17:30 01/02/2015 Dark cloud looms the sky threatening our sole activity for this trip. Upon arrival a prelude of thunder greeted us screaming “Monsoon season baby”. It justifies the moniker of Kuching as the wettest city in Malaysia. This means no dramatic sunset over Kuching river. Sad but not disheartened. Despite the impending rainstorm our giddiness […]
Yangon Trip: Chauk Htat Gyi Pagoda
12:35 01/05/2014 “Cha-uk ta-at gi-yi” verbatim as it should be, that’s how we uttered the little famous pagoda to the taxi driver. He responded a bewildering look and silence.

Temporary Abode : Amata Resort, Phuket Thailand
09:45 28/06/2014 A resort hotel with pretty pool, near to Patong Beach and Bangla Road. These are the criteria upon searching for accommodation in Phuket.

Tonkatsu by Wa Kitchen, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
19:55 01/08/2015 It’s been a while since we fulfilled our Japanese food cravings with a close friend at Tokyo Street.

You might be […]

Temporary Abode: Victoria Suites Cagayan de Oro City Philippines
12:00 PM 06/06/2014 It was quite of a challenge looking for single hotel room in Cagayan de Oro that could accommodate a family of four plus two kids.

Krabi Trip: Hong Island
12:30 25/11/2013 Our rendezvous in Hong Lagoon was cut short to pave way for our island hopping finale. The transfer from lagoon to Ko Hong didn’t take that long. Actually, it was unnoticeable.
