So a few friends at work decided to come together for a riding trip in the Himalayan region sometime late 2018. Benny, the key organiser contacted this India based company called, “Ride of my Life” who plans and leads motorcycle trips around India. Fast forward to July, the group of 6 including the wife embarked…
After spending some time contemplating over an overseas trip, I did a quick search online on the best places to visit in February, and first on the list was Sri Lanka. We spent the next hour looking online about the places to visits in Sri Lanka, and were in awe of the scenery that many…
A close friend decided to invite another dude and myself to Korea to assist in his marriage proposal. After much discussion, it was decided that he would cover our airfares, while we would take care of our own expenses and lodging over there. Since our airfare was paid for, we decided to make the best out…
I’ve been guilty of abandoning my writing, with my most “recent” post sometime in the mid of the year. Given that I have the luxury of a little time today, perhaps I can get some writing done again today. This blog has been rather impersonal, and I thought I’d share a little bit more about myself…
Decided to go on a trip to Bangkok. Changed my miles for cash on an SIA flight to Survarnabhumi International Airport. Since we decided this was a budget trip, we pretty much train-ed our way every where. Not a bad decision, given that their MRT system is much more established than 10 years ago. Budget us…
We dropped in on Tokyo in Day, and took the Shinkansen to Osaka where we stayed at a quaint little BNB in the suburbs. It was just one train stop away from the main Shin-Osaka Station where the Shinkansen would operate. Heading to Kyoto on a shinkansen is only a 15 minute ride away. Paying…
Omotesando Koffee is located at the quiet upscale Omotesando Hills. It’s quite hard to find, but we managed, with the phone’s GPS. We came from the direction of Shinjuku, and did some shopping at Takeshita Dori, but crossing the road, into another roll of shops, and subsequently turning into the lane. The place camouflages into…
Down at the quiet town of Minato Mirai District, Yokohama, Japan, is the famous Cup Noodle museum. Make your own personalised Nissin cup noodles, or dabble in a history lesson about the makings of the cup noodle by the (in)famous Momofuku Ando. Pay an entry fee of 500yen, to visit the museum. Making your own…
Located a serene location up north, the animal resort is a great place to spend a morning. While it isn’t exactly the grandest of all animal captivities, this place offers a much different experience for all animal lovers. Purchase a few packets at animal food, and be ready to feed rabbits, geese, pigeons, fishes, chickens,…
I got my first DSLR back in 2011, and I never really stopped shooting ever since. I was gear lusting recently, and dropped about 2.4 grand for a 2nd hand Nikon D800. Well, it saved me quite a bit getting it off someone’s hands, but many a times do I question myself the need for…
