PERTH 2018

Came back from a short trip to Perth with Hans last night, Perth was nothing short of amazing.

We covered a number of POI, and the views were super stunning.

- Saw the picturesque view of Bunbury city from the lookout

- Caught the sunset at Busselton Jetty

- Sunrise and cold breeze at Surfer's point

- Saw the incredibly clear water of the Indian Ocean

- An experience at horse riding with The Humble Horse

- Wine tasting at Leeuwin Estate

- Striking view at Sugarloaf Rocks 

In particular, I love the breakfast in Margaret River! 
The pastries at MR Bakery was thumbs up, probably my best meal ~

Nonetheless the meals we had in Perth was equally good, and the hospitality we received from people in Perth has been good too.

Weather was definitely amazing, I would die for winter travels! 

Definitely beg to differ if anyone says Perth was a boring city.

Oh

And I'm engaged!

Just reliving the moment at Surfer's Point is enough to bring tears to my eyes again (No drama)

Love you, Hans

BANGKOK 2018

Back from the long awaited short escapade to Bangkok with Hans.

On the day of our departure, we checked out SORA @ T2 and it was awesome.

Since they have various stalls, we got to select food from our favourite and mine has got to be Tendon Kohaku! 

By the time we arrived it has past midnight, thankful for the automated system for SG passport we managed to skip the hour plus queue. 

The next day we headed straight for Hans's tailoring.

Due to the long weekend, BKK was flooded with Singaporeans, they are everywhere!

After we were done with lunch, massage was up next on the must-do list.

We selected full body massage and boy it was good!

I was never into massages as personally I'm afraid it would be ticklish and my tolerance level of pain is zero, but this was worth it.

Day 2 we checked out The Mocking Tales which Hans found on Eatigo, we got the deal at 50% off our bill!

This place was amazing, food + experience + ambiance all checked. 

The melting volcano was probably the highlight, and we really enjoyed ourselves.

A little more shopping after that, but there wasn't much stuff to get at malls like Platinum, probably we have all grown out of it.

More massages today, and it doesn't seem to be enough.

We finally managed to queue for the Soi 19 Wanton Mee after 2 mornings with no luck due to the crazy queue. 

After more tailor fittings, we went to Aubergine, a French cuisine and another place Hans found on Eatigo (this app is awesome).

Totally love this place, everything was on point and words can't describe the unforgettable experience we had.

It was supposed to be Onsen Day but Mother Nature decides to visit me on this fateful day so we gave that a skip and went for more shopping + massage.

I was dreading a little to head back the next day ~

Glad we got a good flight timing back to SG that leave us with sufficient time on our day of departure.

Oh and I got these photos printed at one of the malls in BKK, they are only $2!

Thankful for a safe trip and today happens to be our 8th year together.

For always staying by my side, thank you and happy anniversary Hans.

HANS'S 27TH

February has always been a busy month of events, and this one's definitely the most important.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAREST MAN!

We both settled for Niku Kappo yesterday's birthday dinner.

Work has been taking a toll on him recently, and sometimes i just want to find all sorts of reasons to drag him out of that office for a breather.

Most importantly, it's the time we spent together that matters.

& today, we celebrated with his family at Prego @ Fairmont Hotel.

Strongly believe he cherishes all the time he gets to spend with people he love.

Thank you for always being there, for being you.

Happy Birthday 💕

VALENTINE'S 2018

This year we went The Landing Point at Fullerton Bay Hotel for our Valentine's date.

Love the ambiance and set up, and thank you for planning this day for me.

So many years together but still look forward to every date with you.

💕

HOKKAIDO 2018

Happy 2018 everyone!

On the last day of 2017, I jetted off with Hans & his parents to Hokkaido, the trip we were so looking forward to, because SNOW ❆

My last encounter with snow was probably when i was in primary school? The trip which grandma brought me along.

First 2 days were spent in Otaru, this little town nest slightly away from Sapporo.

Human traffic was minimal, love how quiet the town was and how we could have the surroundings to ourselves.

Winter nights came as early as 4.30pm and it felt like we had so much time till it was bedtime.

Places were all within walking distance and food were FRESH!

Day 2 & 3 we were back in Sapporo, the bustling town of Hokkaido.

One thing for sure, the crowd is lesser in comparison to Osaka, much less Tokyo.

And, we encountered full snow on day 3!

It was so cold, but so fun and so pretty to watch.

Believe it or not, Hans and i literally stuck out our tongues, trying to catch the snow flakes that were falling.

Went up to Mount Moiwa and caught a glimpse of the mesmerizing town lights, i think the temperature was like -2°C.

Morning of day 4 we moved to Asahikawa, another quiet town in Hokkaido.

The train ride out was quite an eye opener, the land, roofs and trees were all covered with the white snow, and it was such an amazing sight.

We headed to the Arashiyama Zoo after settling down, and love every minute there!

We witnessed the penguins march, saw snow owl, reindeer and so many more.

But Hans was down with a fever that very night, thankfully it went away the next day before we headed to Ramen Village.

The night ended off with a local yakitori dinner, ice cream and snow ⛄

Day 6 we moved back to Sapporo, had buffet for lunch and visited the Ishiya Chocolate Factory.

It felt like we just stepped into a Wonderland, the fairy lights were too too pretty!

Wanted to enter Asahi Beer Factory too but it was only on reservation basis, so it was a pity for that.

Just the day before we fly back to Singapore, we went to Takino Suzuran Hillside Park.

No skiing as we went a little late but we tried snow tubing!

It was a great start to my 2018 and I would love to go back Hokkaido again and again.

Japan will always be a place i hold close to me.

Thank you for being so amazing again.

CHRISTMAS 2017

Christmas brunch with the girls as part of our yearly affair @ Firebake this year.

We practically spent half of our lives together and it's good having them around.

Our agenda up next: planning for HK!

And here's a little something with the family yesterday.
And one with Hans's family on the eve of Christmas.
This year's Christmas was one I looked forward to the most as compared to every other years. 
Like they say, as you grow older, you hold things dear to you closer to you.

Last week till the end of the year, and each year it's passing by quicker than the last.

And up till this point in time, 2017 has been pretty awesome for me.

I am counting all my blessings and should feel very contented.

The best choice I have made? I shall keep it to myself for now.

Hokkaido this week and i will check in here again next year. 
Till then ~

:)
