    Island Hopping in Boracay

    Bang! Ouch! I'd hit my head against the doorway of the boat while going in. I rubbed my head and looked up to almost 30 people in the boat. Wow. Our island hopping tour was fully booked, and this was the start of the wet season?

    Magic Island: Just Jump!

    My heart was pounding in my chest. I looked down at the crystal clear waters and tried to calm myself. "Jump! Jump! Jump!" a chant started up around me. Oh god... I turned around to look at the group of spectators edging me on and gave a weak smile.

    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.

    Getting our Hands Dirty at Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle

    Deep in the jungle lies the aptly named Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle, a rustic place filled with all things ceramic. So technically it's not in the jungle, but it is located in CleanTech Park near NTU. It's still pretty far away and hard to get to, especially if you live on the other side of Singapore! It took us about 2 hours from Pasir Ris to get to this little haven away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

    A morning at Pulau Ubin

    Need to get away from the hustle and bustle from the city life, but only have a single day? Luckily we have Pulau Ubin just a short while away then!

    We Flew at iFly Singapore!

    WJ took me to Sentosa for a surprise Valentine's day experience at iFly Singapore yesterday! I don't think I was very good at it; I kept sinking down to the safety net every time the instructor let me go. Or I'd spin around and keep hitting the glass! But we had lots of fun and it was a terrific experience!
