Hi all, we recently spent 14 days in Japan, starting our road-trip from Fukuoka and making a loop through Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Beppu and more towns and cities in northern Kyushu. Let me share the attractions and things to do around Fukuoka. Did you know? Kyushu is the third largest island in Japan. This island is known for ramen, active volcanoes, […]
Hi folks, I like to introduce a new brand – Sachelle Collective that offers jewelry for everyday modern women. What appealed to me about the brand was its focus on jewelry that won’t irritate the skin. In the PR email, I like how honesty was part of the promise: “…this led us to build a brand that can deliver honest
What do we buy in Japan? Today, I’m going to share 25 things to buy in Japan that appeal to both locals and tourists alike. Yes, we are going to skip the touristy souvenirs – those that are so steeply marked-up that locals would shun. So, come take a look and check out the practical and functional stuff that I
What are the things worth buying from Malaysia? As many of you know, I travel to Malaysia frequently, at least twice a month. Over the years, I’ve figured out what are the stuff worth lugging back to Singapore.

When travelling in Tokyo, I asked a Japanese local which beauty products were worth recommending. And she said, “Decorte Liposome Repair Serum.” Hey all, if you’ve read my Tokyo Travelogue, you would know that I made a new Japanese friend on a train when travelling to Hakone, a mountainous hot spring town. This friendly lady recommended two beauty products of

Day 8 in Kota Kinabalu was almost perfect, with us starting the day at Gaya Street Sunday market and then feasting on delicious steamed crab for lunch. We also discovered a mountain that took just 30 minutes to get to the summit. You’ll be surprised at how a mountain can be planted with so many photo props along the way
Did you know that you can get Abib skincare products in Singapore? Maybe you do, but I’m more of a hillbilly and had not heard of this Korean brand till I was “exposed” to it a few weeks ago. Thanks to the media people for giving me the opportunity to find out more about Abib during a launch event at
We haven’t talked about foundation for quite a while, have we? Today, let’s talk about one that I’ve brought back from Japan – Integrate Gracy White Liquid Foundation. Are you looking for a foundation that’s formulated to suit middle-aged skin? Do you want to hide your skin’s imperfections without looking like you have a lot of makeup on? If you
Coming to Day 7 of our Kota Kinabalu (KK) trip, we would take a leisure walk around Gaya Street and explore the line of popular eateries in the vicinity. You’ll also see us ending the night with what we thought was the best night market we’ve visited in the whole of Malaysia. Now, to recap our 10-day trip, we’d spent
