The NEST Hotel, Bali
It has been two weeks since our family trip to Bali. Am already missing Bali tremendously. I can’t believe how affordable it is to hire a private driver to bring us around in Bali. I really enjoyed our leisurely self-customised tour in Bali. It was relaxing as we get to decide where to go according to our own sweet time. You can read all about it here -> Places to visit in Bali for first […]

(In)fertility Treatments: My Story, My Journey
I’m writing this today, 3 years after Ayden was born because I have seen many friends who are in the same situation as I am yet did not seek treatment just because they are not aware about it. Well, maybe they are aware about it but chose to wait and see. I am also writing this because I came across someone sharing an article on abortion access and why it should be allowed globally. For […]

Bali with Kids: Holiday Inn Resort Bali Benoa
After my sharing of our self-customised Bali itinerary (with price included), many readers have messaged me asking where we stayed. We stayed in two places; the first in a hotel where we spent minimal time as we were out all day sight-seeing and the second at a lovely resort where we hardly leave as it was the kids’ turn to enjoy the holidays. We chose to stay at Nusa Dua area as it is nearby […]

Places to visit in Bali for first timers
We spent 5 days in Bali this school holidays. It was our first time here. Prior to our trip, we took quite some time studying the places of interest in Bali before deciding which one we should go for. I never know Bali is so huge. It was quite tough to narrow down the places of interest we should visit as there are just too many. Although we were in Bali for 5 days, we only […]

Gardening Tips: DIY Self-Watering Planter
Whenever I go off for a holiday, I always worry about my little potted plants. The other day while browsing FB, I saw someone sharing a simple way to keep the plants hydrated while we are away. I decided to give it a try to see how reliable it is. All we need is an empty water bottle. Make a tiny hole on the cap. Just one tiny hole will do. A hole this tiny […]

Hotel Equatorial Melaka
I was back in Melaka recently for work purposes in town. As Darling and the boys tagged along, I chose to stay at Hotel Equatorial Melaka as it is situated directly opposite Dataran Pahlawan and is only 500m from Jonker’s Street. At least they can go shopping or sight-seeing while I am at work. Dataran Pahlawan is just across the road from Hotel Equatorial Melaka. Can you see the cheerful and brightly lit trishaws? There […]

Art & Craft: Sponge Owl
Ethan came home from school one day showing me the instruction for his school craft project. I took a look at it and asked him what is that supposed to be. He said that is an owl. We got into a heated argument as I refused to believe that is how an owl is supposed to look like but he insisted it is an owl. I don’t read chinese so I don’t know if Ethan […]

Wellcome Seafood Restaurant, Sunway Mentari Park
Wellcome Seafood Restaurant has been around for some time in Sunway Mentari Park. Situated opposite BMS Organic and next to Mr DIY, it has recently been taken over by a new chef and been given a new facelift. The restaurant spots a bright red signboard against an equally bright yellow building making it such a breeze to find. We were there last Sunday to try out the dishes by the new chef Alvin Chin. Decors are […]

Casahana Mooncakes
I was first introduced to Casahana mooncakes in 2013 when a friend presented a box to me during my confinement as she knew I won’t be able to go out to purchase them. I fell in love immediately with the beauty of their mooncakes and also the fact that their mooncakes are not as sweet as others out there. Today, we received a special delivery from Casahana. We received 4 mooncakes out of which two […]
