  • Up And Above with P1

    1Back in college in the US many years ago, Jo once flew me in a small plane the day he got his pilot’s license. It was a memorable experience as I remember being super happy because not many people get to experience being flown by someone you love. Ever since then I always wondered if I would get the same thrill as flying on a helicopter and I still remember asking Jo to get a helicopter license so that he could teach me how to fly a helicopter too. He was like, “Nah, they’re two different things”. When he graduated as a pilot there were no companies that were hiring so he had no choice but to go into a different field. No doubt, we were both frustrated, Jo couldn’t pursue what he really loved and for me, my dream of flying on a helicopter just sort of ended there haha. We both graduated and entered the lives as working adults until today.

    Fast forward to today, while watching the infamous Fifty Shades of Grey (the scene where Christian takes Ana on a helicopter ride with Ellie Goulding’s Love Me Like You Do playing in the background) it just hit me ; Why didn’t I think of pursuing my dreams of flying a helicopter years ago? Why did I just let the gates of adulthood stand in the way of my teenage dreams?

    And do dreams only come true in movies?

  • Weekend Brunch at Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua

    Due to our over-excitement for the day, we woke up real early, around 7am, so we decided to hit the gym. Haha, I was willing to work out even though we were on vacation because I knew our trip was not only about getting tanned, it’s about putting on extra pounds too hahaha.

    DSC06495Took a short walk around the hotel before breakfast.

    **Warning- This post will be filled with lots and lots of food, if you’re hungry please avoid reading. I’m not responsible for any hunger issues.

  • Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Hotel

    *blows away dust from my keyboard

    It has been a while since I last updated my blog, there is no excuse for me being MIA. Guilty as charged.

    So to make it up to you lovely people, I decided to share about the beautiful hotel that I stayed in Bali. To those who were asking me where did I stay when I visited Bali, this post is specially dedicated to you. *wink

    We stayed in Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua, it’s located around 10.8km away from the city center and it’s around 15-20 minutes away from the airport. I have never been to Bali but my impression of Bali is that it’s filled with lots of private villas. As you all know, a lot of people tend to pick Bali as their wedding venue because of the beautiful beaches and luxury villas. So, i told myself one day if i’m really planning to visit Bali I want to stay in one of those luxury hotels, it doesn’t have to be in a villa but it has to be luxurious lol.

    Well, my dream came true! Remember the I joined #ESCAPERS15 with Citygal a few months ago and we won a 3 nights stay in Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua? I was super happy because my dream came true! A Bali trip, a luxury hotel and getting to work on my tan, it’s like heaven on earth!

    So, we booked the cheapest flight we could find, which was MAS at RM400 round-trip to Bali and booked our stay with Accor Hotel and off we went!

    JWL_9976Before heading to Bali, I just couldn’t stop myself from looking at pictures of Sofitel Nusa Dua Bali, it’s just too gorgeous and I couldn’t wait to visit! Finally, the most shared view on social media and review sites was just right in front of eyes.

  • #ESCAPERS15 – Singapore

    So, recently I went to Singapore with Citygal (Sorry, kampungboy had to stay in Malaysia and continue working while we partied in Singapore lol). The main purpose of our trip to Singapore was for #Escapers15, which started in Singapore and ending in Queensland, Aus. I have never been to Australia so I’m very amazed by how beautiful the country is. I will keep my experience in Aus for the next post.

    First of all, I have to say a big thank you to Queensland Tourism, Accor Hotel and Scoot Airlines for the awesome and memorable trip!

    Now, lets begin with #Escapers15 in Singapore! Basically #Escapers15 is like the show Amazing Race and Survivors but minus out all the scary and crazy challenges because what we did was just have fun and more fun! There were 17 social influencers or media from 9 different countries ( Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, Korea, Thailand, China, Australia and India). 2 representatives from each country besides Japan because another one ffk last min ==”

    Well, challenges in Singapore were slightly different from Australia because in Singapore we focused more on food and sightseeing! I had fun completing challenges in SG because we were required to go to the places that I have never been before!

    IMG_6038Off we went for #ESCAPERS15, didnt know what to expect but we told each other we should just have fun, enjoy and it doesnt matter if we win or not. You can clearly see why Citygal is a travel blogger, because she clearly knows the definition of packing light compared to me ==” First thing that ppl say to me when they see my bag wa,s “Are you planning to extend in Australia for a month?” I had to pack extra outfits just in case there is an emergency right? T___T
