It’s been slightly more than a year since I updated my blog about the house. I ended off in October 2020 saying I will update the before and after but i have been procrastinating for the longest time. Just like any other house, the longer you stay in it, the more things you are gonna have and it has come to one point whereby i realised i have to dedicate a couple of days just to shift things around just to get a clean nice interior shots of the house. Damn! I should have done it at the very beginning when the house was clean and neat (not that it is now not clean but still. There is so much mo ..read more

[Updated 17 Jul 2020, 12:05 am] Note: This is going to be an ongoing blog post for probably the next 3 months so do refer the timestamp to know if there is any update. Blogging might or might not be a thing of the past since everyone is now mostly on Instagram or Tiktok but a blog will never lose its purpose. I started out this blog in 2008 to record down moments of my life, my travels, my thoughts and my milestones, and here's to the next one. For the longest time, I've always wanted a place of my own. Over the last few years, i have been browsing casually on Property Guru bu ..read more

I recently received a campaign brief over email on an upcoming ambassador program (revealing on IG really soon!) and had some food for thought which i decided to pen down in a quick blog post. After reading the brief, i suddenly got reminded on how challenging it is to be a content creator. (I'm not using the term - influencers cos 1. I'm personally not a fan of the term cos it's being used too loosely and 2. I can go on and on rambling about the "influence" people actually have and the actual effectiveness of what they produce. Maybe i will talk more about it later in this post)  Ok, b ..read more

Like i said in my previous post, the photos might not be in chronological order. It's actually based on the photos that i have taken throughout the trip, which is not exactly a lot compared for a 2 weeks trip. I usually take photo of everything. Anyway if you have read Part one of this Sydney Travelogue, you can click HERE. I actually might have missed out quite a bit of places I've been on this trip but you can checkout my Sydney highlights on my instagram - @andystorm for the videos i compiled daily throughout the trip :) A trip to Sydney would never be complete if you did not visit the Bl ..read more

Today is Sunday and I woke up wanting to do something productive so I decided to start writing on my last Sydney trip. I know i know, i have yet to even finish writing about my trip to Japan (and I'm still considering whether to write on Korea) but i realized the longer I delay, the less vivid the memories will be and I will have trouble writing about my trip, which explains why till today i still can’t finish my Japan travelogue :(  So I have decided to do a short and simple (probably) 2 post photo travelogue to sum up my Sydney trip. But before I start, let me just share on why Sydney ..read more

Amidst the Covid19 pandemic that we are all facing now, i'm not so sure if this is the best time to be doing to a travel-related post because who knows when is the next time we get to travel again uh. But then again, most of us are now working from home (or "working from home" if you get what i mean) so i thought why not update my blog since the last time i updated was Christmas last year.  So for the past 3 months before the whole Covid thing got really serious, i made a couple of short trips to Bali and thought i should share some of the ig-worthy places i went and the shots i took whi ..read more

Before I go on with this post, i just want to say that this is not some kind of investment or marketing blog post whereby how i boast share about how I made my first million dollars through investment or being some shady eBay seller. *cue 10 secs youtube ad with some guy holding his phone going - Hi, my name is xxx and i’m the top 10 xxx seller on xxx* Ok enough on that, back to business.  So apparently from what i think (and based on stats), the readers of this blog are now young working adults and majority here are those that have been following my blogging journey for the longest time (Go ..read more

I still remember as I was growing up, my parents would always nag at me whenever i play my game boy in the dark or read my story books under dimmed lights on the bed and they would always say that if I continue to do this, “my eyes will spoil” At that age, it didn’t mean anything to me, all I wanted to do was to do things my way so I didn't listen to any of their advice. Fast forward to primary 5, I start to realise I couldn't really see clearly what was written on the whiteboard (i was already seated in the first few rows because of my height) and the next thing I know, my parents brought me ..read more

I'm not sure if you guys heard of this place called "Walking on Sunshine" but i first knew about them when a video of them went viral on FB. Every time i go to Orchard Central, i will pass by this quaint and pretty place filled with lots of plants but i have no idea what exactly this place is about. It looks like a salon on one side and it looks like there's a cafe on the other. Is that a barber shop as well? Are these shops all related? Well, recently i was invited down for an experience and here i am sharing it here with you guys! Walking on Sunshine  Orchard Central, 181 Orchard Rd, #03 ..read more

I’m not sure how many of you reading this are LiveUp subscribers but if you are, you should continue reading this article to know what exactly you are paying for now that new changes have been implemented (since July 2019) If you are hearing the term “LiveUp” for the first time, it’s “a unique lifestyle membership programme for the digitally-savvy Singapore consumers that's all about more discounts.“  I’ve been a subscriber ever since the programme started in 2017 because they offer free delivery and 5% rebate on ALL orders on Lazada. I buy A LOT of things from Lazada, like you have no idea. S ..read more
