Reminiscing

He turned to me looking puzzled. 

‘What were we doing this time last year?’
‘We were in India, love.’

I couldn’t help but think about our travels so far.

As boyfriend and girlfriend, as husband and wife. 

One luggage between the two of us, always checked-in. 
A map in one hand, my hand in the other.
Spontaneous decisions on where to go, what to eat. 

I remember each trip vividly, right up to the babymoon in Koh Samui.

I will miss it. 

Traveling is going to be a lot different now. We both agree that it’s time to start making memories with the new addition to our family. After all, good things are meant to be shared.

I’m an SPG!

I’m an SPG! No, not a Sarong Party Girl, but a Starwood Preferred Guest.
Travelling with my husband on his business trips does have its perks:
  • I get to go to places I’ve never visited before.
  • I get to enjoy staying in lovely hotels all around the world.
  • I don’t have to worry about breakfast.
  • I get to shop without feeling guilty cause he’s waiting outside the shop.
  • I get to buy anything I like *big fat smile*.
  • I don’t have to drive to the gym.
Though, there are some (small) drawbacks:
  • I’m alone sometimes most of the day. I eat alone (I don’t enjoy that).
  • I have to pack and unpack for him and myself! (despite having lists, I always end up forgetting something (my things, never his) like my face moisturiser or glasses grrr!).
  • I can seriously be a travel agent with all the planning and arrangements I make prior to our trips *grumble*
  • I put on weight from ‘over-relaxing’. But that’s not a bad thing, is it? :)

Communication Breakdown

In Penang, I send the indian boy to order cause I speak neither Hokkien nor Mandarin. I do the same in Singapore too. Tsk! Shame shame.

Siang Hai Tim Sum, Macalister Road

Dim sum on a lovely Sunday morning in Penang. These prawn & fish dumplings are a must have.

Happy Moments


As I sit here on this dismal rainy day, sipping hot honey to ease my cold, I can’t help but to reminisce the fond memories of that one weekend away in Cherating.

Okay, fine.

I’ll spill the truth.
It wasn’t “that one weekend”, it was this weekend :P

I just got back half an hour ago and I’m oh-so-eager to tell you about my weekend away! A weekend away to Kampung Cherating, a weekend away from the fuss, a weekend away from the stress (though at this point in my life, it is very minimal – and in some ways, a taboo to even mention), a weekend away after many months, a weekend away to the beach (the kind I like most) .

So, in order to not bore you with descriptions and long sentences, I have made attempt to present my weekend getaway to you in five (5) short statements :)

1. Remembering childhood moments : Playing on the beach – I got a tan.
2. Most annoying moment: On the first night, I got bitten by mosquitoes. My solution to that was bathing in Mosiguard.
3. My favourite moment : breakfast at Payong Cafe by the riverbank, with my companion, both enjoying the peace and serenity, a book in hand (and Eu de Mosiguard – don’t leave home without it!).
4. Regretful moments : eating alot! But I will worry about that later.
5. Happy moment : the whole trip :)
