Flashback Friday #4 – Have you seen a monkey with blue testicles?
with a subject title like that, i must have caught your attention… haven’t i? a monkey with blue testicles! heh heh. I’m just going to share the most extraordinary monkey i have ever seen, while holidaying in Zambia, Africa a couple of years ago. one with blue testicles! really! see? i aint lying.. I know i sounded perverted, but they are really fascinating to look at (the monkeys, not just the balls) and of cos, i had to snap some pictures! I guess no one would believe me unless i have pictorial evidence right? My uncles who were on the same trip as me couldn’t believe their ears when i…

Flashback Friday #3 – Travelling in Zambia
I mentioned in my previous flashback friday post that i nearly got kicked by a zebra. So, this week… thought i’ll show you the zebras and the close proximity we were in at the hotel (zambezi sun) during my stay while travelling in Zambia. wild zebras roaming around the hotel grounds. watching and observing them in such close proximity is an amazing experience. my uncle discreetly approaching. ta-dah! Zebra butt. The zebra in the last picture is the one that attempted to kick me. Seconds after i took this image, i happened to turn and walk away. That moment was when the zebra lifted his hind legs and gave a…

Flashback Friday #2 – The Amazing Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya – the smoke that thunders)
I never completed journaling down my south africa trip from 4 years ago. the last i checked… my last entry was at day 6 of the trip… and i had to stop cos i was going to be late for a flight to orlando. ahhhh.. orlando. a trip that i never got round to blogging about at all. maybe i’ll do that for the next flash back friday instead. i totally miss travelling pre-kids. you know, the luxury of dropping everything and flying last minute? the thrill of not knowing where i’ll be and what’s my next travel destination. adhoc travels used to my kind of thing, i realised. still,…

Flashback Friday #1 – My visit to Illinois from many moons ago (2007!)
taking a break from the sydney trip, i’m gonna launch into another country US state that i visited but never got round to blogging about. Also, i think i’m gonna make it a point to do a #flashbackfriday post every friday because i do have a lot of outdated stuff that i want to talk about! So yup. Illinois. For the longest time, i kept telling people i went to chicago, but the truth is… i landed in Chicago O’Hare International Airport and zipped out of the place in under an hour. i only saw the chicago airport and some streets. nothing else. I spent the most of my time…

Madame Tussards Sydney
This post is all about our trip to Madame Tussards Sydney. I know, i said i’ll blog about the Wild Life Zoo next in my earlier post on Sydney’s Sea Life Aquarium, but i totally forgot that we went Madame Tussauds before the zoo. So, i’m just gonna talk about Madam Tussauds first. If you know me, i’m more of a animal, marine life person or adventurous type of person. Thrill-seeking type if you need to label me. or nature-loving. I’l visit zoos, aquariums, do climbs, white-water rafting in a jiffy but museum sorta places, i’ll choose carefully and only do those that interests me. so, Madame Tussauds isn’t really…

More of my Sydney adventures – visiting the Sydney Maritime Musuem
I’m blogging about Sydney Maritime Museum today! I’m have been kinda slacking on the sydney’s posts. errmm, it’s already been more than ONE MONTH since i landed back in singapore! Hmmm, where did all that time fly to? anyhow, i am inspired to continue blogging on my adventures because it was a really, really, fun trip and at the same time, i had a gf who messaged me and said she got inspired by my posts and booked herself and her family on trip! (hello and waves to P!) I think i’m doing good to boost sydney’s tourism. Heh. heh. To catch my earlier posts on sydney, you can read…

st andrews cathedral and chinatown in sydney
after our morning excitement checking out the sydney’s tower eye on day 3 of our trip, we did some light shopping and had lunch. we had full intention of checking off a lot more items on our “to-do” list but the day turned out to be a lot more chilled than we planned it to be. chicken avocado spuds from spuds and crepes for lunch at westfields sydney, which is basically potatoes. shopping for jellybeans as gifts for colleagues. this is such a happy place! there are soooooooo many different jellybean flavors that i couldn’t buy it all despite lugging a lot! (pardon the pixelated pictures, nabbed from my instagram)…

Sydney Fish Market where fresh seafood resides!
This post is about Sydney Fish Market, a place where I visited during my vacation to Sydney with my gf and without the kids. i’m still missing the fun i had on my trip and am seriously experiencing a bad case of post holiday blues. it pains me to view the pictures because… i just want to head back there and chill. the place is just so chill and laid back. anyhow, what’s a trip to sydney without checking out the Sydney’s Fish Market right? it’s a stone throw away from darling harbour and we simply walked over after soaking in the sights at the harbour. checking out the map of…

Circular Quay, Sydney Harbour Bridge & Sydney Opera House
Post lunch on the first day of our trip, we took a slow stroll around the rocks & circular quay area, just to soak in the sights. The entire place is so lovely and i totally love the magnificent, clear blue sky that day. peeking on the harbour bridge from the rocks area. i shot andy while he attempts to capture the bridge on my lens. the opera house. selfie of the 3 of us. but totally over exposed shot that the opera house went missing. a nice shot of us three with the bridge. watching the people moving along slowly up in the bridge doing the bridge climb like…
