I have heard many people talk of Haw Par Villa with its 10 Courts of Hell, but I have never been there. It’s one of those places that I vowed to visit one day but have not had the chance to. I have been seeing people posting about Haw Par Villa on Instagram recently, which piqued […]
I am sure everyone is as excited as I am about the opening of the Vaccinated Travel Lanes. The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website has detailed instructions on the conditions and documents required for travelers to Singapore, but what about Singaporeans going overseas to other Vaccinated Travel Lane (VLT) countries? In this post, I […]
Thai Supermarket on level 2 of Golden Mile Complex has become my new favorite shopping haunt. You can find a wide range of Thai food and body care products, plus some Vietnamese stuff as well. It is also one of the few places in Singapore where you can munch on street food as you shop. Here […]
When I did massage at Healing Touch back in 2019, it was the number 1 spa in in Singapore. Now the whole TripAdvisor’s Spas & Wellness Centers in Singapore section is dominated by Natureland and Wellaholic. Wellaholic is an aesthetic chain which I have no interest in but I do want to know why Natureland […]

I love getting massages, such as the deep tissue massage I had at Healing Touch Spa and with Eva. There is one type of massage that I have always been wanting to try – back-stepping massage also known as ashiatsu massage or 踩背. A number of shops offer this special massage, I decided to try […]
Touring the New Seven Wonders of the World has always been on my travel bucket list. However, with the closure of borders due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I don’t think I will be able to go anytime soon. Thanks to advancement in technology, I can now watch virtual tours of the New Seven Wonders of […]
I am a self-professed dog-lover but I have neither the time nor energy to have a dog of my own. Whenever I want some dog companionship, I will visit We are the Furballs located on level 7 of Bugis+. There are 5 cat cafes but We are the Furballs is currently the only dog petting […]
I have recently started going to Singapore Chung Hwa Medical Institution at Toa Payoh to get weekly acupuncture for my chronic neck, shoulder and lower back pain. Acupuncture easily costs S$50 a session in private clinics, but it’s just S$17 for Singapore citizens and permanent residents at Singapore Chung Hwa Medical Institute. Singapore Chung Hwa […]
