Of course, no trip to Singapore is complete without a visit to the Merlion, so we brought my mom and my roommates’ family to meet the famous water-spouting icon of Singapore. Chi said she wanted to meet my mom, so I invited her to dinner with us. AA also came. We had dinner first in […]
My Mom in Singapore part 1: Singapore Zoo
First of all, the title of this blog was supposed to be “My Mom and Bro in Singapore” but then on the day of their flight to come here, I got a call from my brother saying that he can’t push through because his passport was not within the 6-months-expiry requirement in order to travel […]

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 […]
