In my 20s, I was really motivated to attend fitness and dance classes all over the island- ballet, salsa, yoga, pilates, TRX….. I would travel for hours for an average of 4, 5 classes each week just to pick up skills and improve my technique. Of course I pay quite abit for such classes too — memberships… Continue reading My Home Gym
Taking a break from work to pursue other interests in life is to many, a luxury. This is especially so if you are, like me, living in super competitive and expensive Singapore. I’ve dreamt about it for years, and my dream came true in the last quarter of 2013. I stumbled into a job which I later on realised,… Continue reading My 2 year Sabbatical

These colourful cows demanded my attention and although I was running late, I stopped to admire them.

It was owned by the Haw Par brothers (yes, of the haw par villa fame), but of course, any good parcel of land in… Continue reading Solo Cycling to Coney Island
These days, waiting for a trip to materialise is akin to waiting for an alignment of planets in the solar system. Time, money, energy, travel companions… these are some of the planetary factors I’m talking about. The first three are somewhat within my control, but the last planet, that is getting to be a really tough one these years. While my wanderlust… Continue reading Travelling with strangers — How I started…
I have been dreaming about setting foot on the exotic lands of central asia for the longest time, however, since I am unable to find company interested in traveling this region, it was relegated to the bottom of my travel bucket list. I guess it is to be expected that “sexy metropolitan cities” like Tokyo, Seoul,… Continue reading Kyrgyzstan, July 2015
On this 10-day trip to Switzerland, I visited Zermatt, Lucerne, Appenzell, then I took a side trip to Salzburg, and back to Zurich again. A country well-known for its clean air and high standard of living, cost of living in Switzerland is really high too.
