  • Hey, what’s up? My family and I recently went to China, specifically Chengdu, for one week. In this post, I’ll be sharing the places we visited — though I won’t dive into every single detail, because I want to shamelessly promote a travel ebook I bought for the trip! The ebook is in Malay, so only get… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? I recently read The Full Moon Coffee Shop by Japanese author Mai Mochizuki, translated into English by Jesse Kirkwood. Since it’s originally written in Japanese, translation was essential — and I must say, it was beautifully done. Today, I’ll be sharing a short review! I’d rate the book 7 out of 10. It’s a unique… Read more

  • Hey, what up? Howdy, reader! I recently went on a trip to Cornwall with a bunch of friends, and in this post, I’ll be sharing what we got up to. So, stick around till the end if you’re curious about our itinerary—or just want to see some cool pictures. Cornwall is tucked away in the… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? I haven’t posted a weekend update in a while, so here’s one fresh off the memory shelf: my latest hangout with two of my close friends from medical school! We created a group chat about a year ago with grand plans to meet up, but—as any FY2 doctor will tell you—between job… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? Welcome to the final chapter of our Italy trip! I know — it’s been a journey (literally), and I can’t believe we’ve made it to Chapter 7. This one’s a little shorter because, well, everything felt like it was on fast-forward that day. We kicked things off by driving to Venice airport… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? Yay—you made it to the second last chapter of our Italy trip! Honestly, I didn’t think this would stretch to six chapters either, but hey, we used up a whole week of annual leave, so let’s make it count, yeah? This was our last day exploring the Dolomites, and as promised, let’s… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? Our next Italy adventure brought us to the legendary Seceda Ridgeline—and let me just say, what a view! Now, for those planning a visit, there are two ways to reach the top: you can hike (for the brave and the rested), or you can take the cable car (for the rest of us with… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? Welcome back to our Italy trip blog! Kudos to those who’ve made it this far—you deserve a medal, or at the very least, a gelato. 🍦 This time, we headed off to explore Tre Cime Natural Park—an iconic spot in the Dolomites that looks like a scene from Game of Thrones, minus the dragons… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? Glad you’ve made it this far—go on, grab some popcorn or a bag of crisps (preferably the crunchy kind)—and welcome to Chapter 3 of our Italy trip! If you’ve been following along, you’ll remember that the day before, we were living our best sun-drenched lives at Lake Garda, before heading off to check into… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? Welcome back to Chapter 2 of our Italy trip! After spending two nights in Milan (where we experienced overpriced food, overflowing rubbish, and a dreamy Airbnb), we were finally heading off to our main destination—the majestic Dolomites! First on the to-do list: picking up our rental car. We collected a compact SUV… Read more
