Birthday Staycation @ The Langham
I had a birthday staycation at The Langham over the weekend. This time around, unlike last year, I wasn’t alone, but with my friend May.

Nirwana Resort @ Bintan, Indonesia {Deetour}

We had booked a 2D1N package in Nirwana Resort Hotel through WeekendGoWhere.Sg. The package included […]
Birthday Surprise from My Team
Two days before my birthday, I got a call from our office receptionist that I had a delivery. I jumped up before realizing – wait a minute, I didn’t order anything.
