ROME, ITALY IN 2 DAYS!

After Venice, We took a 3 hr + train to Roma- The Eternal City! I Loved Rome, although our short trip there! We took a whole day tour that we booked via Walks of Italy and it was AWESOME! We booked a whole day Rome city + Vatican Tour which people usually split into 2 days. However, due to time constraints we decided with that! No regrets! Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgable. He told us stories and facts which were out of the ordinary stuff. It was really interesting! Loved listening  about the past Roman empire! Also, when in Italy, do wear Extremely hardy and comfy shoes!! You'll be walking heaps!

VENICE, ITALY

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017 EVERYONE!

Venice, Italy- From the Rialto Bridge

Beautiful sight isn't it-The Charming & Enchanting City of Venice! Before saying anything else- I LOVE VENICE!

After a totally relaxing start to our Awesome Europe Honeymoon in Lucerne, Our next destination was Venice in Italy! I was particularly excited about Venice and I knew I would love it even before I went.. And.. It was true indeed! However, Traveller J didn't like Venice too much.. He said it was old and there wasn't anything to do there! How did he come up with that, I have NO CLUE! Haha! However, we spoke to other couples that were on honeymoon as well and the guys said the exact same thing! WHY! Anyways.. Back to The Beautiful water city of Venice! 

EUROPE HONEYMOON TRIP 2016- LUCERNE, SWITZERLAND

Hi my Lovely Travellers!!

Wohoooo! Traveller J and I recently Came back from our 3 weeks Honeymoon Europe Trip in September-October, and it was extremely awesomely fantastic! We chose this time as it's probably not exactly peak season and where the weather is cooler. I wouldn't want to walk around hot and sticky! Traveller J and I had it all planned out pretty well so everything went really smoothly! 

For our first Europe Trip, We decided we wanted a mixture of cities/countries to chill while have some rush and excitement at other countries. We had help from all our friends and our fellow travellers which told us which places they loved & etc. For me, as usual, I was looking for places to have time to chill out & relax, yet try to do all the things I wanted to do. Also, not forgetting to find places that have awesome food!

LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA- THE ANDAMAN, A LUXURY COLLECTION RESORT

THE ANDAMAN, A LUXURY COLLECTION RESORT!

Hello once again my Fellow Relaxed Travellers!

Phew! It's been so long since my last post, I think it's quite dusty around here! It has been a very busy time for all of us with loads of happy events going around! Have been planning for a long trip around Europe in a few months time as well! Traveller J & I really needed a beach break for our minimoon and didn't want much fuss. We finally settled on Langkawi in Malaysia! Langkawi is on the Northwestern shore of  Malaysia and is a archipelago of Langkawi islands. Mountains, forests and beaches is what you will see upon arrival! It was a simple and definitely relaxing Holiday indeed! We chose to stay at The Andaman, considering that it was a distance away from the mainland Langkawi (meaning-more peace & relaxation!, just around 40 mins away from the airport by taxi.), the beach looks beautiful and is close to the hotel rooms ,and the rooms look cosy & modern! We definitely had no regrets coming here!:D

Happy New Year 2016!!

Happy New Year 2016 My Relaxed Travellers! Time sure pass fast! This year is going to be a very exciting year ahead indeed! May you guys enjoy your holidays and find more places to travel to this year! I know I sure am looking forward to mine!:)

Xoxoxo..

BUFFET DINNER @ MARRIOTT CAFE - SINGAPORE MARRIOTT TANG PLAZA HOTEL

The Main Buffet Area

Hi Everyone! Am Back In Sunny (or not so) Singapore!:)

Had loads to eat once again this trip, however yesterday we had a wonderful Buffet dinner at the Marriott Cafe in Singapore's Tang Plaza Hotel (Link). I walk past this hotel all the time whenever I come to Orchard Road for my Shopping spree, but have never stepped in before!

Came here as Marriott Cafe was under the American Express Palate card (Palate card) whereby we get to have 50% off for 2 diners! There are other card promos as well, i.e: UOB cards. Before coming over, didn't have a really good feeling about the buffet, as the reviews from hungrygowhere weren't too great!

MALDIVES- MEERU ISLAND RESORT & SPA

MALDIVES

Beautiful Maldives- with different shades of blue!

GUESS WHO FINALLY WENT TO THE MALDIVES! ME-Traveller C and Traveller J!
Gosh! It really is Amazingly Beautiful! After loads of stalking of pictures on Instagram, Facebook, google, other people's pictures, it was finally my turn to visit the beautiful Maldives.
Maldives is a nation right in the middle of the vast Indian Ocean and is made up on different coral atolls. It's capital is Male and they have been reclaiming nearby islands to extend it as it is getting very congested! It's really cool how little islands could form right in the middle of the ocean! I've never seen such beautiful shades of blue in a place before! Also, accompanied by the awesome white sandy beaches!

PRIVE GRILL @ KEPPEL BAY SINGAPORE

Wahoo! I love to eat- Everyone knows I love to eat- All sorts of cuisine, anywhere and everywhere! :D So! This is a restaurant that I went 2 months back for Valentines day- overdue post.. I've always wanted to go to Keppel Bay as I love the look of quiet blue waters with yachts docking! Traveller J decided to bring me to Prive Grill at Keppel Bay for lunch and it was delicious! . Not to mention the ambience was perfect! After our meal, we took a stroll around the area and took pictures- date stuff;P

PERTH- PART 2- ROAD TRIPS- BUSSELTON, MARGARET RIVER

Jetty by the bay

PERTH (Continuation from previous post)

-Busselton
Accomodation
Busselton is a short drive away from the city and we usually stop by Busselton before going to Margaret river! It's a wonderful place for a short getaway!
 I came here a few times. Once was with my friends Traveller S and Traveller CY.  It was our end of university trip and we sure had loads of fun! We stayed at Siesta Park Holiday Resort (Link) and were just beach bums. As our villa at Siesta Park Holiday Resort was just right by the beach and waters, our daily itinerary was beach- eat-beach-eat then movies in our room! How awesome! I would recommend this place if you really want to chill by the waters as its reallly near-(But, in my opinion still not as pretty as the big beautiful oceans!) However, it's abit on the small side, or maybe you could book one with more rooms.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015 MY LOVELY TRAVELLERS!!!

Wishing all my lovely Travellers a Fantabulous Happy New Year filled with loads of Joy, Happiness, Great Health, Success, Wealth, etc, and definitely Loads more of Fun, Safe and exciting travels!!:D:D Just came back from a long holiday for my sister's wedding in Melbourne! Such a beautiful one!!! Will post on Melbourne soooon!

XOXOXO

PERTH-WESTERN AUSTRALIA [PART1]

Perth is a beautiful place, where I called my 2nd home for 3 years where I did my undergrad at! It's a really peaceful and beautiful country with wonderful scenery, clear blue skies and wide beaches with soft sand! It's truly a place where you can relax and appreciate the beautiful nature and little things that life has to offer! It's also a country where road trips are common and loved by everyone- short or long ones! Even after I have graduated, I go back once in awhile to have awesome food, beautiful beaches, relax and catch up with wonderful friends! [Note: However, I have heard people say its quiet and boring* haha , I beg to differ.. But, this will not be the place for you if you enjoy the night life and buzzling city life.]

SINGAPORE JAPANESE BUFFET- KISEKI @ ORCHARD CENTRAL

Exterior of Kiseki-Photo credits: Kisekirestaurant.com.sg

During the last weekend, it was a public holiday and I was in Singapore. Decided to have buffet to satisfy my buffet cravings! Traveller J felt like having heaps of servings of sashimi. At first we thought of having Kushinbo, but the one at Suntec City isn't there already and we wanted to go somewhere central to watch a movie and do some shopping as well. We finally decided on Kiseki on the day and tried to call to book, however it was already full and was told to come to just walk in. I love orchard central and all their food outlets there! It's not usually very crowded as well.

MY FAVOURITE TOP 3 STEAK RESTAURANTS IN SINGAPORE

Hi My Lovely Travellers! Other than travelling to have fun, relax and sight-see, Food is definitely one of my favourite parts! I Love Steak houses! There are days where you just crave to have a really good piece of steak- Juicy, succulent and full of flavour- Simple and very satisfying! Since I travel to Singapore quite frequently, I have 3 steakhouses that are my favourite. 

Here's the review of my favourite top 3 places to have steak (and other stuff on the menu) in Singapore:

1. MORTONS-THE STEAKHOUSE

Mandarin Oriental Singapore

Fourth Storey

5 Raffles Avenue

Marina Square, Singapore

Mortons Steakhouse in Mandarin Oriental is one of the best steakhouses in Singapore. Morton's first restaurant was opened in Chicago. Since then it has grown to have several outlets all over the world! It's very convenient for my family as it is a short cab ride away from our hotel Fairmont that we usually stay. The service was great- the waiter we had was very attentive and knowledgeable regarding the items on the menu and offered good recommendations. I loved the ambiance of the steakhouse. Simple and cozy and very dark! Although my parents did not like the darkness too much, I love dark restaurants! However, as such, apologies for my not very clear and dark pictures! 

SINGAPORE- [GARDENS BY THE BAY, MBS, FLYER, NIGHT SAFARI, RIVER SAFARI, S.E.A AQUARIUM, UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, BOTANIC GARDENS]

I travel to Singapore quite often since I was young with my family and I love shopping and eating there! Singapore is a pretty small country but its an extremely developed cosmopolitan city that's filled with lots of great shopping, eateries and all sort of entertainment. It's pretty safe as well, so you don't really need to worry about being robbed, etc, but guess gotta be careful everywhere you go! In this post I'll write about all my experiences/reviews of places of interests in Singapore and combine them into an itinerary if you would like to travel to Singapore.

-Days: Approx 7 Days (If you would like to do most things and have never been-Adjust to suit your trip)

-Flights you could take: 

TAIWAN-PART 2: DAY 5-10: KAOHSIUNG, YANGMINGSHAN, TAIPEI

Taiwan: Day 5-10
Continuation from previous post of Taiwan!

Day 5: Kaohsiung - ChiChin Island, Love River
We decided to change our departure from Star Villa to a later timing around 11 and informed Star Villa the night before. They arranged for transport and called a cab to pick us up ! The journey took around an hour and we were dropped off once again at the Taichung Train station for us to get our High speed rail to Zuoying Station (Kaohsiung). We departed at 14:01 and reached at 15:00 pm! The High Speed rail is really very fast and convenient! We brought our luggage along and walk out of the train station, around 2 mins walk, we found our hotel!:D Sorry did not get pictures of the lobby, but only the entrance to the rooms from the lift!

By the time we checked in and settled down it was kind of late. We shouldn't have taken our time!! But guess we were on a relaxed mode.. haha. We decided that we wanted to go to ChiChin Island for seafood dinner and to walk around! On our way there we saw several stalls and I saw one which sold a cute pet pig! Maybe its not meant to be a pet.. but its so cute-- I want a pig as a pet! haha
