Hotel Review: Golden Temple Hotel
I think I've found my favourite hotel! Located just a 10-minute walk (or a 3-minute tuk-tuk ride) from Old Market and Pub Street, Golden Temple Hotel is convenient yet serene. Don't confuse it with its siblings, Golden Temple Villa and Golden Temple Residence, which are in the vicinity as well!

Roaming the Temples of Siem Reap: Part 2
It's the second day of our 2-day temple tour. We're well-rested after the previous day of eating, cooking, eating and more eating, and pumped to go. Because we didn't read much about the temples of Siem Reap before we went for this trip, we didn't know much about them other than Angkor Wat. So when our driver told us we'd be going to Angkor Thom and 2 to 3 temples after that, we thought it'd be a relaxing day slowly exploring the few temples.

Roaming the Temples of Siem Reap: Part 1
We woke up in the early morning with barely 4 hours of sleep when it was still dark out. Sleepily rubbing our eyes, we walked to the reception to wait for our driver and to collect our free picnic breakfast. Our driver was already waiting for us. He gave one glance at me and said I had to wear longer pants.

Cooking Curry in the Cambodian Heat
Mmm... Khmer curry. How do I describe it? It's sweet and not too spicy, and perfect for my stomach. I love curry, but too much of it and I'll get an upset tummy! Even worse, some curries are so spicy I can't even finish my first mouthful! Previously, my favourite was the duck with lychee in red curry in Krabi.

Quad Bike Adventure in Siem Reap
"You need solid shoes, long pants, and most important(ly), do not forget to bring an adventurous spirit!" This was the advice written on the brochure. We might have forgotten the first two items, but we sure brought enough of the third! After a short tuk-tuk ride from Golden Temple Hotel where we were staying at, we reached the small compound of Quad Adventure Cambodia full of anticipation.

Craving for Krabi
The soft sand crumbles beneath your toes as the sun beams down upon you. A cool breeze blows softly, and you tuck your hair behind your ear with a flower. With a glass of freshly squeezed juice in your hand, you look across the expanse of the ocean and sigh contently. All is well.

Taipei, we meet again!
This trip to Taiwan can be considered an impromptu one. We had already bought air tickets to Bali for a 6-day family trip, which had thankfully only cost us $88 each. But because of the recent AirAsia crash which happened on the same route, WJ's sister became a bit paranoid and we ended up buying new tickets to Taipei just 2 to 3 days before we had to leave! As we were going with WJ's parents who hadn't been to Taipei before, we decided to keep the trip a simple one and bring them to some of the more touristy sites.

Pre-wedding Shoot + Holiday in Taiwan
WJ and I just got back recently from our pre-wedding shoot (and holiday!) in Taiwan. We booked the package earlier this year since we already had plans to go to Taiwan for a holiday, so why not do the shoot at the same time and kill two birds with one stone? :D Anyway, here's our itinerary.
