A Day trip at Budapest, Hungary

Capital of Hungary, Budapest, holds a front-ranking position among the most attractive cities of the world. Among a few capitals of different countries that I visited in Central Europe, Budapest captivated me the most with its magnificent buildings. It successfully combines a centuries old architectural and cultural heritage with the latest features of modern life. A day trip at Budapest is possible as the public transports are very convenient, especially with its Hop On Hop Off  services. With HUF 4500 (around Euro 16) per pax, we purchased tickets from Giraffe Hop On Hop Off Sightseeing Bus and Boat tour. The [...]

Hundertwasserhaus, Vienna

Picture above isn’t a painting, it’s a real building and it’s a real residential block and there are people literally staying inside! My first impression about the building was that why would the residents allow the kids to simply paint the wall. It looks as if the kids drew some uneven lines to partition each unit and painted each unit with different colors to make its design looks so random. But whoever the kids are, they must be brilliant painters! At least I have fallen in love with this whimsical architecture. If you still have no idea what is going [...]

Wat Arun in Bangkok, Temple of Dawn

Thailand is a beautiful land that dotted with numerous temples. Each of the temple has its own uniqueness that one can actually spend a few hours in each temple to admire every detail of the facades and interior of the building, as well as its amazing workmanship. I didn’t have the time to visit every temple in Thailand so I chose a world famous landmark and one of the most photographed places in Thailand, Wat Arun, or better known as the Temple of the Dawn. Formerly known as “Wat Chaeng”, this temple has existed for many years since the days when [...]

I was contemplating to divide this post into several parts as I have too many photos to show. However, after considering the readers might lose their patience to wait for part 2 or even part 3, I decided to make it a photo-intensive post and feed the readers with load of information. Universal Studios just has too much to show. By the way, you may jump straight to my Useful Tips When Visiting Universal Studios post if you’re looking for practical tips. I visited Universal Studios in Singapore few weeks ago with full excitement. I haven’t been to any Disneyland so [...]

Universal Studios Singapore ~ A One Day Trip

When Don and I were in the ambiguous relationship oscillated between mere friendship and more than just friendship, we had a day trip to Fraser Hill to record our audition video for Amazing Race Asia. Before we even had a chance to edit the video, I accidentally deleted it. Anyway, that is not the point. I wanna say that we had a good time chilling out in Smokehouse Restaurant in Fraser Hill and enjoyed their fabulous tea and scones. I was almost convinced that Smokehouse served the best scones in the world. After dating for several years, I started to [...]

The Great Ocean Road ~ Victoria

Before leaving to Australia, my friend Julian told me “There is a very nice long road trip along the coastline in Australia… hmm… I don’t remember what’s the name of the road.” “It’s the easiest name to remember, you meant The Great Ocean Road right? The most straightforward aka non-creative name of the road.” Then when I back from Australia, my friend Evelyn asked me the places I visited in Australia. So I told her “I visited The Great Ocean Road.” Evelyn then replied “Wow… the road must be great. What’s the name of the road?” -_-” Anyway, as the [...]

The Great Ocean Road ~ Victoria

Everyone knows Kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia. Kangaroos in Australia are like strayed dogs in Malaysia. They can be spotted easily by the highway or forest. Kangaroo signboards are as common as Speed Limit signboard in Malaysia. Beware of Kangaroo! You might be hit out of the blue! Do you know when you don’t understand someone, instead of saying ‘I beg your pardon’, you can actually say ‘Kangaroo’? No joke, you can try it when you have a chance! But probably only Guugu Yimithirr, Australian Aboriginal tribe of Far North Queensland, would understand it. A common myth about [...]

Marina Bay Sands Singapore

Don’s company organized an annual dinner in Marina Bay Sands, so we booked a room here with spectacular city view to spend the night. My friend Evelyn has been asking me to share the photos in Facebook, but I choose to write a blog post instead to provide a better description of the hotel room. Tell me if the room is too big for just 2 people. Once entered the room, there was a very spacious hall way next to the washroom and wardrobe. You can definitely hold a mini dancing party here. If mini dancing floor doesn’t satisfy you,...
