On Thursday night when I got home, I had a “surprise” waiting for me at home – Chu had flown in from Thailand in time for my birthday on Monday. So last night, we had dinner at 7101 Flavours in Marina Square, his favorite restaurant in Singapore. We had our staple green mango ensalada, sisig, […]
Tour of Johor Bahru, Malaysia {Deetour}
Austine’s mom and a couple of her friends came to Singapore for a vacation, so their host Tyne organized a day tour to Johor Bahru (JB), Malaysia on August 8. She found an agency that rented out a van for a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 10 people at 55 sgd per person. […]
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia {Deetour}
We went on an overnight trip to Kuala Lumpur to celebrate AA’s birthday and Gelle’s last out of town trip before getting married. Chi found a website that offered a cheap package for coach and hotel, so we booked ourselves an overnight trip. On the morning of July 4, a Saturday, we picked up our […]
Bintan Lagoon Resort {Deetour}
I did not want to go initially, but Cate was so convincing that in the end, I found myself in a ferry boat that took less than an hour to bring us to Bintan Lagoon Resort in Indonesia for an overnight stay starting yesterday. I’m glad I went, though! The view was breathtakingly beautiful. The resort […]

Julius, who was my batchmate in AdZU, came to Singapore to visit his sister who is working here and to have a vacation as well. He is also an OFW but based in Kuwait, and he had just come from the Philippines. When he asked to meet up with us, Cate and I rounded up […]
Pretty Park Pictures
I missed my bus stop for the MRT station tonight and ended up on a detour at Istana Park. As Uma Thurman’s character said in the movie Paycheck, “some of the best things in life are total mistakes.” This is certainly one of those mistakes that turned out great. Istana Park at night That’s only […]
The King and I
Last March 1, Rey (which means king, hence this blog’s title) had a layover flight in his favorite city among all the places he’s been to as a flight steward… which happens to be where I live. Come to think of it, his verdict is part of the reason why I decided to give coming […]
When Ex P&Gers Unite
Kes (Janice) and Tics (Jerome) visited Gelle and me in Singapore for four days starting Feb 20. We were batchmates in P&G, and now all of us are with different companies (with Kes owning hers). We rode the hippo tour bus for the first two days, visited Sentosa on day 3, shopped for pasalubong on […]
Rona and Rino in Singapore
My friend Rona and her brother Rino had a 5-day vacation in Singapore. They and Rodel stayed at our place and Rodel took a leave in order to tour them around. We went with them when our schedules permitted, accompanying them to the usual tourist spots like Clarke Quay and Sentosa as well as Pasir […]
The Singapore Flyer
My high school classmate Chi visited her sister AA, who is also working here. Yesterday, Cate and I rode the Singapore Flyer (the biggest observation wheel in the world) with them and Chi’s boyfriend Punch, who also came with her. I loved the view, but as usual, I wasn’t too crazy about the height. Damn […]
