Here’s something I’ve always wondered: Why would anyone pay for a GV Gold Class ticket? I mean, sure, it has a lounge, some F&B – which you have to pay for – and a nicer seat, but would you actually pay 40 bucks for that? I probably wouldn’t. (Does anyone know if Golden Village actually makes […]
Two important things happen in late April: First, it’s the only time of the year when I get to post this amazing meme: (Hands up if you totally rocked to N’Sync songs in secondary school.) Second, it’s also my birthday. The fact that I can memorise all the lyrics of N’Sync songs betrays my age:
Okay, I’ll admit it: I hate planning for travel. 8 years ago when I was studying in the US, I found myself without any plans for the week-long Fall Break. I would’ve been perfectly content to take a 2-hour bus ride to Manhattan and pig out on Chipotle. Luckily, I had a couple of friends who had a MAJOR thirst
Frequent flyers have a common saying: “Once you go flat, you can’t go back.” No, they’re not lamenting about their car troubles, but about the amazing experience of sleeping on a lie-flat Business Class bed.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could travel around the world for six months? I’m talking about visiting 9 countries across 6 regions. Not rushing through them like your typical packaged tour, but spending a leisurely 3 weeks in each country so you can really soak in the culture. Being on the road is tiring,

It was March 18, 2003. Will Saunders and David Burgess were 67 meters up in the sky. Aside from the wind, it was deathly quiet. The roar of the city was miles away. Balancing precariously on the glazed white granite tiles, they steadied themselves while tightly gripping their buckets of red paint. They couldn’t afford to
A couple of years ago, I shared about how I tried Tim Ferriss’ Slow Carb Diet. After 13 weeks of eating yong tau foo and avoiding my favourite noodles, I lost 5kg. GREAT SUCCESS! Actually… not really. As we all know now, fad diets are unsustainable. Fast forward 2 years, and my fiancee is poking my tummy
For as long as I can remember, my family follows the exact same weird routine every Chinese New Year. After a light vegetarian lunch at my grandma’s house, we’ll all pile into several cars and drive off to the nearby Lot 1 Shopping Mall. There, we’ll fight through the crowd at the cinema, buy some popcorn,
