A short 4D3N shopping and eating trip to our favourite city - Bangkok, trip post-Covid-19. As the trip was essentially a "mommy and girls' shopping trip, my personal plan was to do a solo exploration of some famed eateries around Bangkok. But the summer oppressive heat and humidity (33°C but feels like 44°C) melted my plan, resulting in much-reduced activities. Likewise, our accommodation in the heart of Pratunam meant that most of our Grab bookings were canceled...
This Hokkaido DIY vacation still feels as if it's my first visit to the beautiful island as my previous three trips here were sponsored with all arrangements planned by the Hokkaido Tourism Board (HTB). On those trips, I visited Sapporo and its surrounding areas only briefly as the FAM trips focused mostly on the eastern region of the beautiful island. For this vacation, I planned all the itineraries personally using only Google Maps...

Dear friends, recently I conducted a day trip exploring the potential of macrophotography at Pulau Ubin. As the SG Rediscover Voucher was expiring on the last day of Dec 2021, a glance at Klook activities quickly confirmed this was the event I wanted.

Why not visit and chill out at Seletar Fishing Village, Singapore's last fishing village.
Dear readers, have any of you visited Singapore Botanic Gardens lately?

The weather was really hot and humid, do hydrate adequately and put on appropriate attire if you intend on doing likewise. I am sure you...
