Visiting Sydney – Our arrival!
We arrived in sydney this morning! We are pretty hyped about visiting Sydney but we both were pretty much like zombies upon arrival because instead of sleeping on the flight (which in itself was tough), we watched movies, had supper, chatted non stop and i read on my kindle (ah, bliss!) and ended up catching only 1.5hrs of sleep. or less. when we finally landed, we took a while to orientate ourselves, get our data sim (Optus offers unlimited data, voice calls and smses for just $2/day), and hopped onto a train to andy’s apartment. that’s us waiting for a train in central station, by the way. the trains are very…

Vacation to Sydney!
photo creditI am finally going for my vacation to Sydney! the thing i hate most about vacations, is the wait. the wait for the date where you set off for the trip! and today, i will jet off to sydney! like finally! (i booked the tickets in march!) and yup, i didn’t really research intensively but i’ll be doing all the city sights – harbour bridge, the rocks, the maritime museum, aquarium, the wild life zoo and maybe the taronga zoo. I definitely want to attempt scaling the harbour bridge (it’s a dream of mine, or make that the bucket list) and check out cool places like surry hills, the…

Holidaying in Sydney.
Wheeeeeeee! I’m going holidaying in Sydney! this just got to be the highlight of my mundane day, and year in terms of holidays. just booked myself and a girlfriend on a flight to sydney in late july! It’s been a while since i went holidaying alone, sans kids! life is good when you have something exciting to look forward to! p.s. i am hoping der can cope with both kids while i’m gone. else, i guess it’ll be pretty good training for him too! I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that he doesnt have to go on any biz trips while im away.

Random things about Melbourne [Warning: Image intensive]
I know my melbourne entries are totally random and sporadic, but its really quite tough to squeeze some time to sit in front of my lappie without jerry demanding my attention or jerome crying/fussing, so do bear with me. still have so much more to go. i didnt have the time to gather my thoughts so this would be a random entry about things in melbourne that i would like to remember about. mailing out postcards. I would usually buy a postcard of the cities that i go and mail them to my friend sally ever since i found out about her love of postcards many many years back. my…

Outdated post about my Melbourne vacation. [warning: pictures intensive]
This is an outdated post about my Melbourne vacation. a group chat with some of the yummy mummy bloggers triggered this entry about melbourne. i am soooo bad with my travelogues because i never get round to finishing them! in a flash, its been 4.5 years since i last went australia, and it sure didnt seem that long ago. it was a last minute trip that i pulled off in less than a week and it was before i started on my current job. I cannot remember the vivid details to continue documenting my melbourne travelogue but i am just gonna show some nice pictures about the places i visited,…

hong kong vacation day 5 – last day!
Day 5 of our Hong Kong vacation. when we got back after a long day of shopping, I was a tad disappointed that I didn’t manage to eat the seafood I wanted to. the main deterrent was the distance because its so out of the way and required either to take a bus/ferry and I decided I wasn’t brave enough to do it. Der already had a hard time carrying baby + stroller up and down the steps in mtr through the days we were there so I wasn’t gungho enough to go. so I had a plan. to head back to hing kee for more seafood, but without…

Jerry’s 1st Hong Kong Disneyland adventure – Day 3 of our HK vacation
We trooped off to Hong Kong Disneyland on Day 3 of our hong kong vacation! Technically, it’s Jerry’s 2nd time at Disneyland cos he was in my tummy when I was in Paris Disneyland. on the train to Disney. with mummy. gripping on tightly to the handles.. arriving in disneyland hk. although the bub would probably not remember much about this trip, we still decided to make the trip there. since it is the week leading up to Halloween, the park is themed that way and even have special extended hours on 2 of the days till 11pm. we didn’t visit during the days with extended hours mostly to…

Day 2 of our Hong Kong vacation – Dim Sum in Hong kong!
Having dim sum in hong kong is a must-do when visiting hong kong! So, on day 2 of our hong kong vacation, we attempted to visit the famed Michelin star dim sum restaurant on Sunday morning, but was greeted with a huge crowd at the door. we stood around trying to get a number but didn’t manage to after like 10-15mins and decided that we were too hungry to hang around and left. vegetables and seafood stalls along a street, think it was soy street or another that’s parallel to that. butcher. I actually love visiting markets when I travel, and see the produce that they have available for sale.…

on vacation in Hong Kong.
am currently on vacation in hong kong, lazing around and not doing much. thats us checking into the hotel! the hotel looks pretty but the room is so tiny, I feel crammed with 3 of us in it. miss the prudential hotel that I last stayed in when I was here. in the tiny lift. we survived the flight with the little bub and just us two. its the first trip where there is only 3 of us, and Der & me were kinda nervous since our kid is so hyper. although he suddenly sprung awake when he got into the plane, he was only handful for a short while…

things to pack when travelling with a baby.
Am sharing what are the things to pack when travelling with a baby here! i usually do up a to-bring list before i start packing for all my trips and i guess it applies when it comes to packing for jerry when we were heading for kuching, his first flight out of a country. decided to document the list i have here and hopefully, it will be useful for other mummies who are intending to bring their kiddos abroad as a reference, as well as for my future reference. do take this as a rough guide since this list is uniquely catered to jerry (who is 14mths old) and his…
