So my mum's company had a family day and booked us 2 nights here. It's been AGES since I had a staycay in Singapore so I was pretty excited. We got a connecting room - Twin + King Deluxe on a high floor - which was perfect for the whole family. They welcomed us with a complimentary tin o

I found this facial place near my partner’s house after realising I wouldn’t be making my usual quarterly maintenance trip to HCMC. My skin was overdue for a proper clean-up, and the trial caught my attention straight away — $68 for a 9-step facial with thorough extractions. These days, it’s surpri

My friend wanted a proper spa day and picked this place for us. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but from the moment we stepped in, I understood where the money was going. The service felt incredibly polished. We were welcomed at the entrance, brought into a separate room to choose our prefe

I was craving nasi lemak so badly and I personally feel Malaysia just does it better 😍 I love the simple traditional kind with fluffy rice, spicy sambal, and crispy anchovies (with non-cafe prices). So when my Malaysian colleague said “you HAVE to go here”, I put it on our weekend KL itinerary imme

My partner planned a weekend getaway to KL and picked this hotel. At first I was a little skeptical because it wasn't in my usual area. I almost always stay around Bukit Bintang, but after this trip, I totally get why he booked this place. It's slightly outside the city centre, which mea

Princess treatment… but in the middle of the ocean 😭 My friend really wanted to go island hopping during our girls’ grad trip, and honestly… I’m usually NOT a water activity person. The thought of being stuck on a crowded boat, forced snorkelling stops, and salty wet clothes all day already made

My bestie wanted tacos for her birthday dinner and honestly… I trust a Taurus with food recommendations. The moment we stepped in, I already knew the vibe was right. Loud chatter, cold drinks, warm lighting, and staff that actually looked happy to be there. It felt casual and lively without bein

NGL… Bangkok hotel prices are starting to feel like Singapore 😭 I actually booked this trip for the MCR concert, but it got postponed to November… so I was stuck with a non-refundable ticket. Spent almost 1 month hunting for hotels, and this was the one that made the most sense. The location

I was trying to clear my SG Cultural Pass before it expired, and somehow landed on an art jamming session with rescue cats?? I didn’t expect much at first, just thought it’d be a chill painting date. Ended up being one of the most wholesome 2.5 hours I’ve had in a while! Tucked inside Enabling V

I saw this on TikTok and immediately booked it to surprise my partner. Dining on a moving cruise already sounded like a lot, but pairing it with an omakase experience? I needed to see if it actually lived up to the hype. We boarded early and went straight to the cruise roof lounge. They served u

We had a little saturdate in the east after my friend’s butter-making session, and finally tried this TikTok-famous yakiniku spot. I’ve been seeing it everywhere, so my expectations were… high. It’s walkable from Marine Parade MRT, but if you drive, come earlier for parking nearby. We got a coun

To celebrate a colleague’s resignation, we did what any chaotic office would do, crossed the border for a weekend trip and decided to settle it on the racetrack. We headed to RUD Karting Medini in Johor, and I’ll be honest, it felt more intense than expected. First things first, you must down

I wanted to share my detailed experience with a recent Invisalign treatment to help others who might be in a similar situation. I’ve had traditional braces before, and while I wore my retainer consistently, my teeth shifted slightly over time. When I lost my retainer while overseas, I needed a repl

This year I finally brought my family to Japan for the first time, and we visited a lot of new places together. I’ll share the full itinerary soon (still catching up on writing 😅), but Toyama was one of the pit stops highly recommended by my Japanese friends, mainly for fresh and affordable seafood

It was just a regular Sunday when my partner suddenly said, “Let’s go somewhere cute.” We hadn’t had a proper date in awhile, so we started scrolling for cafés nearby and found one we’d saved ages ago… and completely forgotten about. It was only 9 minutes away, so we changed and headed out almost i

First night in Jakarta and honestly, we were completely spoilt for choice. Too many hotels, too many options, and both of us had very different stay preferences. In the end, we picked what made the most sense for two adult friends who wanted space, comfort, and a proper place to rest. We booked

This was one of those ideas that sounded romantic and wholesome at night… and slightly unhinged at 3am. I booked this sunrise trek in Lombok thinking it would be a cute, adventurous date idea, watch the sun rise, sip hot coffee, take some pretty photos, then stroll back down. What I didn’t fully

I almost forgot I still had my SG Cultural Pass, so for one of our date nights, I decided to actually use the free money before it expired. We scrolled through a few options and landed on a cyanotype printing workshop. Honestly, my expectations were low. In my head, I’d rather be doing pottery or a

I needed a place to crash near the office because I had a company event at Sentosa on Thursday. Sleep was the only thing I cared about, so staying near work felt like the safest choice. This hotel was a 15 minute walk away, and since I knew I'd be exhausted, I booked a full day stay instead of

My partner brought me here for a brunch date and I didn’t know what to expect at first. The moment we walked in, I slowed down without realising. The space felt airy and calm, sunlight pouring in, tables spaced out just enough that conversations felt private. It was laidback but still polished. The
