I’ve long heard about the beauty of Sabah in Northern Borneo – its alluring beaches and many exotic islands such as Pulau Sipadan which is one of the world’s top dive sites, and the highest mountain in South-East Asia – Mt Kinabalu. Little did I expect that I would get a sponsored trip to Kota…

Penang “Rojak”
Travelling is not just about visiting sights, indulging in local cuisine, shopping, experiencing different cultures… blah blah… sometimes you get caught in massive jams while on the way to your next destination. And you begin to worry when you see thick smoke rising to the sky… and then… a fire engine whizzes past and stops…
Penang Snake Temple: Beware of the Fangs!
No, it’s not a zoo. The snakes are everywhere and not kept in any enclosures. One glance at the triangular head, you know they are venomous snakes. Those are pit vipers. Wagler’s pit vipers. So where on earth is this place? You are now on an island, somewhere in Penang, Malaysia… … You are in…
Penang: Kek Lok Si Air Itam
I wish I could stay on for a few more days to explore Kuala Lumpur since I hadn’t been there for years but we had to drive back to Penang island to catch the flight back to Singapore two days later. Back in Penang, we continued to indulge in more authentic local eats on a…

Hopping around KL City
Following my previous entry on KL City sights and food, it was another day for us to see the bustling city and this time, we did it by Putra LRT (Light Rail Transit). It’s convenient and pleasurable to travel around the city by this mode of public transport, especially we don’t need to worry about…
KL City sights & food
After a night at Genting Highlands, we drove back to Kuala Lumpur (KL) city. Though KL is merely a 30min flight from Singapore, I haven’t been there for many years. To me, KL is a bustling city with people everywhere, many shopping malls around and traffic jams! Somehow, as we stepped out of Sungei Wang…
