A must visit: Sligo Abbey ๐๏ธ
#timetotravel
Sligo Abbey, nestled in the heart of the town of Sligo, Ireland, is a hauntingly beautiful and historically significant site that left me deeply impressed. My visit to this well-preserved medieval abbey was a journey through time and spirituality.
Exploring the abbey's stone ruins and its tranquil cloisters, I felt a profound connection with Ireland's religious past. The architecture, with its Gothic and Romanesque elements, was a testament to the craftsmanship of the era.
What sets Sligo Abbey apart is its serene ambiance and its role in Irish history. The abbey's location along the Garavogue River and its proximity to other historic sites, such as Yeats' Grave, make it a central point for history enthusiasts.
The abbey's place in the heart of Sligo town makes it easily accessible. For history buffs, those interested in Irish heritage, and anyone seeking a spiritual encounter, Sligo Abbey is a must-visit. It's a place where history and tranquility merge, leaving you with a profound appreciation for Ireland's religious heritage.

Cishan Mountain Hike ๐๏ธ๐ถโโ๏ธ
#timetotravel
๐ West End of Changjiang Road, Fushan, Yantai
๐๏ธ 2019, 2020
๐๏ธ Nestled in Yantai, Cishan Mountain may not tower, yet its gradual ascent promises a bit of a workout. But the rewards of this serene climb are ample.
๐ ๐ Getting There:
To reach this haven, rent a car for convenience or opt for a Didi ride. My first venture was in a car with a local friend, and the second time, we Didi'd there and back. However, be prepared for a slight walk downhill to hail a Didi back. Alternatively, you can take bus number 211 for ease.
๐คฉ ๐ฑ ๐ฅค
This is an entrance-free escape. Ascending this not-so-tall peak demands effort, but the panoramic rewards are mesmerizing. After about a 2-hour hike to the peak, you'll find a restroom and small shops for beverages. It's wise to pack your own food and drinks for sustenance.
๐๏ธ๐ถโโ๏ธ๐ธ๐ Expect a 3-5 hour exploration window, making Cishan Mountain a serene escape for spring and autumn. Embrace the climb for a memorable experience that balances effort and natural beauty.

Cherry Picking and Helu Temple
#timetotravel
๐ Helu temple : Tonghui Road No.1 Yantai Fushan Lion Rock Culture Tourism Area (Northwest Corner), Fushan
๐๏ธ : June, 2021
๐ Getting There:
To savor Yantai's famous cherries and visit the serene Helu Temple, renting a car or befriending a local is the way to go. Located in the countryside, it's a challenging spot for Didi. Our local friend graciously drove us, about an hour from Fushan's main district.
๐คฉ ๐ The cherry garden welcomed us with buckets to pick these delectable fruits. Entrance details were taken care of by our local connections. Keep in mind that the cherry picking season is at its best in June or July, making it more budget-friendly.
๐ฏ ๐ฅAfter our cherry feast, we made a peaceful stop at Helu Temple. It's a hidden gem with a focus on vegetarian dining, and it's wise to donate in cash for support.
๐ Dining:
Limited dining options can be found on the way back to the main district. If you have specific tastes, bring your own food or return to the main district for more choices.
While shopping isn't on the agenda in this countryside locale, it's a must-visit for cherry lovers and those seeking serenity at Helu Temple. ๐๐๏ธ๐ฏ

Berlin's New Year's Eve: Funky and wild
Berlin on New Year's Eve? We did it all! We watched the mesmerizing fireworks at Brandenburg Gate and danced the night away at Alexanderplatz. We explored the lesser-known parties happening all around the city, and munched on delicious street food to soak up all that champagne. We made new friends and let loose, because on New Year's Eve in Berlin, everyone is in the same boat (or should I say party subway? Because ,yeah, subways are for partying that night) And let me tell you, it was a blast! If you ever have the chance to experience New Year's Eve in Berlin, don't miss it! It's truly a night to remember! #newyearadventure #NewYearsEve #Berlin #Fireworks #Party #Fun #Friendship #Memories

Wonderful Memories at Ocean Suites RWS
Weโve been wanting to stay at the Ocean Suites over at Resorts World Sentosa for a while now but the price-tag on the room was so prohibitive! In the end, we decided to splurge since itโs a birthday celebration for hubby and what better excuse than to do just that.
We made ourselves comfy and enjoyed the awesome view of the majestic marine creatures swimming by our window. I tried to identify them but failed horribly. Hubby being an avid diver once, did a far better job of educating me what fishes or rays or sharks they actually were. That said, we both agreed that it was very therapeutic just looking at those fishes swim by and sipping our wine in the comfort of a lovely room and we fall fast-asleep at the background.
The flood lights of the massive aquarium goes off at about 11pm and thereโs where the action happened. We noticed that the fishes, rays and sharks were visibly more active and there wasnโt a dull moment that went by right outside our personal viewing gallery. Itโs an awesome experience with the ocean. #memories #precious
An unforgettable year ๐ฑ๐ฐ ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ป๐ณ
Thank you 2022 for an incredible year!
๐ฑ๐ฐ Sri Lanka (February-March)
This was my first time exploring this incredible country. From the busy streets of Colombo to picturesque train journeys through the tranquil mountains around Ella, from the unique food culture in Jaffna to coconuts on the beaches in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka really has it all.
๐ฏ๐ต Japan (April-)
In April (a year delayed thanks to covid), I finally achieved my dream of moving to Japan. After a few days enjoying the cherry blossoms in Tokyo, I traveled south to my new home near Kyoto. These past nine months I've explored all around Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and nearby - with trips further afield planned for 2023!
๐ป๐ณ Vietnam (September)
In September, I took a week's holiday to visit Vietnam. Hanoi was an incredible insight into the culture of this country, while Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh were unmissible opportunities to enjoy the amazing scenery. I ended my trip in Ho Chi Minh City, learning about the history of Vietnam. I'll definitely be back again, particularly to explore central Vietnam's famous culture, sights and nature!

Thinking of having some great family bonding sessions with your aunties and uncles this fall in singapore? Why not consider going to Hua Yu We located at 462 Upper E Coast Rd, Singapore 466508 where this place serves authentic Chinese cuisine.
This place is very popular among the older generations due to its reputable name is has given thruout the years, this place was also here even before I was born.
This place will bring back many memories especially to the older generations. And plus the food here has been so popular that some of the dishes even requires you to have a 3 days heads up for them to prepare just for you! Seafood here is a must especially for crabs and fish. The other dishes here like the fried wings, vegetables are also the crowd favourite due to the wok hey each dish has.
Also, this place isn't as expensive as most banquet like dinners, it's pretty much affordable. For a 10 course alacarte meal, each of us only paid $26-$29 per person for the entire of 10 adults. Affordable isn't it?
