Today’s Blogtember prompt is: Describe a distinct moment when your life took a turn. Back in 2004, I was working as a teller for one of the banks in my hometown (yes, that same hometown which is now undergoing a terrorists-taking-hostages crisis) and was very miserable about it. So miserable was I that even my […]

Taiwan: Wish Upon a Floating Lantern {Deetour}
Hi there wanderlusters! (Is this a word? There’s a red squiggly line underneath it, so I’m guessing… no. I’m keeping it there, though.) Have you seen the movie Tangled? It’s the animated movie about Rapunzel and I really loved that film because it’s so hilarious and heartwarming. In said movie, Rapunzel’s biggest dream was to […]
Prayers Badly Needed
I didn’t want to talk about this but it’s driving me insane and I needed an outlet. If this feels wrong in the future, I will take it down. When I saw the Blogtember prompt for last Friday: “A story about a time you were very afraid” I dismissed it because who wants to remember […]

30 Before 30 (a Reverse Bucket List)
Today is the last day that I am 30. Sometime ago, I created a “30 Before 30” list or a list of things to do before I turn 30. Well I got depressed last year as I dreaded the big 3-0, and not having accomplished most of the things on said list was one of […]
The Greatest Things I’ve Ever Learned
… is just to love and be loved in return. Or so they say in Moulin Rouge. It’s true, though. I’ll explain that further as my #1 advice, but before that, let me start with some background first. I decided to hop on today’s Blogtember bandwagon last minute. What’s that, you say? It’s a September […]
{The Expat Diaries} 5 Years in Singapore
Peeps, something’s bothering me. Has it really been five years? Like, seriously? I mean, like, FIVE whole years since I first met Singapore’s famous icon, the merlion? Once Upon a Time in Singapore I almost don’t want to believe it, but this blog reminds me that I first stepped on Singapore soil on August 23, 2008. Let […]
Fat to Fit Kate: How She Lost 20 Kilos
Well hello there, weight loss buddies! 🙂 Last month’s thinspiration interview was so well received that I thought it would be a good idea to do another one. This time around, I found blogger Kate @ Relokate (formerly known as Fat to Fit Geek). I was so inspired when I read her weight loss story that […]
Taiwan: Danshui Lover’s Bridge and Fisherman’s Wharf {Deetour}
Last November, I had the most amazing reunion with my best friends Gelle, Ngangi and Chi in Taiwan. I just never got around to blogging past day 1 because I fell into a blogging rut around that time, but finally, here it is! Day 1 involved Taipei 101 and Shihlin night market. Day 2 was […]
