When we first started our daughter Dana in skiing 4 years ago in 2015, we had no idea she would come this far. After all, coming from sunny Singapore, our kids only get a chance to ski once a year perhaps (if we can afford a trip to a snowy country that year). However, we were pleasantly surprised. What started out as a recreational activity for our daughter then has turned out to be a sport she has taken to quite seriously. She last skied in Hokkaido two years ago in 2017, where she … [Read more...]
Royal Caribbean – Quantum of the Seas Review
Spice of SouthEast Asia 6D5N Cruise 13 countries but no cruise!? This cruise is truly something to remember for the following right reasons!

Jazz Hotel Penang, Malaysia – A Review & Giveaway!
Penang is one of our favorite regional destinations. Aside from being my hubby David’s hometown, Penang has many unique experiences to offer families apart from its famous hawker fare. In this recent September trip back, we wanted to stay in the city for a change instead of the usual beachfront Batu Ferringhi area as I was keen to do some ‘café-hopping’.

Club Med Kani, Maldives – A Review
Deja-Vu A lump surfaced in my throat as I saw my 4 year old, climbing up the 2-storey high trapeze pitched at the beach front.

He went on to try the flying trapeze another 3 times across the two nights that we stayed at Club Med Kani. His sister outdone … [Read more...]
