Left work as early as possible to get to TMFT to board by around 6pm. Met with the boys at the terminal, filled up on chips and chocolate and headed for the boat pretty much on time. Once on board we headed out to see ASAP and the weather showed its claws straight away. It wasn't outrageously rough but it was rough enough to make for a long, lon...

We begun this week in Kuala Lumpur - a vibrant and modern city which was almost refreshing after trekking through Thailand recently. Our stay in the Royale Bintang hotel was great, kicked off by a wonderful buffet dinner for 8 euro each. KL's shopping was fantastic too e.g. the city's newest Shopping Centre, the Pavilion, has 1.7 million square ...

I have visited Singapore in last week and have enjoyed my stay there very much. The cosy room at the City Backpackers Hostel (http://www.citybackpackers.com.sg), as well as its location in the heart of Singapore, near to the Raffles City Shopping Complex and the Esplanade Concert Hall and Theatre couldn't be better. Places I've visited and I li...

The very first impulse I got upon arriving in Singapore's Changi Airport was, "Get out the camera!". Who does that? But this airport is different, it's so clean and picturesque, that you can't help but doing the old point and shoot. There are gardens, a spa, a theater, a transit hotel, free internet. It's like a really fun mall, and I don't even...

Finally after 15 hours stuck on a plane i can properly stretch my legs! Lucky for me the flight was empty enough for me to get a middle row to myself, still KLM offers little leg room compared to other airlines it seems. I have to say that Changi Airport with its cathedral like deparature halls (from what i saw) just confirms the view that Singa...

Contrary to what many people know about Singapore, there are pockets within this urban jungle city where nature thrives. One such place is the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, located in the northwestern shores of Singapore, a place where even some locals have yet to step. The reserve is an 87ha site that was designated as a national park in 1989, ...

Arrived in Singapore on the 14th and boy was it hot. After checking into the guesthouse we went for a wander around. The underground system is great and heads to all corners of the city. We went to check out the Raffles hotel to see what all the fuss was about but it was pretty boring with little atmosphere, although there was a pretty good jazz...

Well, my family overseas trip, it has been a long time since I travelled with my family. If I could remember the reason why I choose not to travel with them. Hmmm. Even though, my mum will pay for the accomodations and the food in the past but she always and without fail will bring back more bags other than her suitcase. Yes, my mum loves to sho...

O.M.G. i love this city! i arrived at 2 am onfriday to muggy air and an "engrish" speaking driver. this is good as my malay is nonexistant (except terima kasih- thank you) and after a 21 hour flight am in no mood to learn it. i am immediately struck by the lack of garbage on the side of the road. anyone who has been to asia knows that the roadsi...

Well... Singapore Airlines certainly is the cream of the crop! you get your own personal screen and hand set where you can access about 100 movies - classics and brnd new ones (some of which haven't hit the big screen in the UK yet!), you can play video games, learn a language, create your own playlist or watch telly! Plus the flight was empty s...
