Nepal, Here We Come!

After 2 years of talking about it, Angie and I are finally going to Nepal for trekking adventures.

We'll be going end October which apparently is the best time to visit the Himalayan region and walk in its magnificent landscape. But no, we're not going to attempt to conquer Everest, or even get to Everest Base Camp. We're just going to do easy, non-strenuous hikes and enjoy our time there. Being able to see Everest and the Himalayas with my own eyes is enough for me.

Coincidentally Air Asia and MAS have started flights to Kathmandu. And for travellers like us, the bigger the price war, the better. We'll be flying MAS because prices are similar with Air Asia during our travel dates.

I've climbed Mount Kinabalu and Mount Bromo before, but what will adventures in the Himalayas be like? Well, there's only one way to find out ... get there!

KL Walking Tours for TripAdvisor

TripAdvisor recently commissioned me to write 5 walking tours of Kuala Lumpur: 

1. Highlights of Kuala Lumpur Walking Tour
2. Kuala Lumpur Culture & Arts Tour
3. Kuala Lumpur Photographers Walking Tour
4. Eatery Walking Tour in Kuala Lumpur
5. Kuala Lumpur Walking Tour for Families

These tours can be downloaded into iPhones and Androids which makes it easy for the traveller to refer when on the road.


Writing these tours for TripAdvisor is the closest I've got to achieving my travel bucket list of writing a travel article and getting it published. Along the way I learnt that TripAdvisor is actually a public listed company on Nasdaq, how cool is that!

Celia was in town ... and brought me fridge magnets!

I met up with Celia from Singapore over the weekend. She was returning from a 2-week holiday in Sarawak and on transit in KL before heading back to Singapore.


Celia had a fantastic time in Sarawak exploring Bako National Park, attending the Rainforest Music Festival, eating flying fox and the list goes on. I hope she blogs about her adventures.


Since Celia knows I collect fridge magnets, she brought me a few:

Do you know that the Singapore Sling was concocted before 1915 by Ngiam Tong Boon, a bartender working at the Raffles Hotel Singapore? (Got that bit of info from Wikipedia). This means that the Singapore Sling is almost 100 years old !!! 

An ex-boyfriend loves Tiger Beer, would order it every time he's in SEA. And he's an 'ugly' MF with issues. So this magnet has lots of truth in it, at least for me.

I haven't tasted Singapore Chili Crab before, and sadly I can't cause I'm allergic to seafood. Well, I guess a small bite won't hurt.

Marina Bay Sands are the latest cool buildings in the Singaporean skyline.

Good old Sentosa Island is not to be forgotten ... especially now that it has Resorts World Sentosa, Universal Studios and the works.

I always chuckle when I hear people say Singapore is a fine city. This magnet depicts it nicely ...

Singapore and Malaysia are both multiracial countries. The only difference is that if this magnet were to be produced in Malaysia, the Malays would be on the extreme left since they are the most in the population.

I adore this one!

Another magnet shaped like a slippers and feet. But this one can put picture inside :-)

Since Celia was in Sarawak, naturally she also brought me some from the state. Cool!
