It wasn’t just any ordinary cruise journey, oh no, it was a 4D3N feast of flavours, an exclusive vegetarian food hunt on the majestic seas. Every expectati ..read more

Traveling is like a double edged sword! Most of the time, you meet wonderful people, but on the flip side, you also meet really interesting people! As I traveled extensively to many countries, sometimes to major mainstream cities or some off beaten tracks places, I received many funny or I should be more precise, ridiculous misconceptions about Singapore.

It was a year of contradiction and confusion! Hugs and physical contact have become a weapon that could harm yo ..read more
