Tada…Mr Jay Chou is looking hotter than ever! He started the concert by teasing all of us with a view of his buff bod and six pecs!! *Wolf whistle* Jay started the theatrics with a full media onslaught and finally coming onto stage in that flight capsule. Despite his futuristic outfits, Jay is best singing...

Last Day in Osaka (aka. Day 4)
Alas, every holiday has to come to an end and it is the same with ours. With slightly heavy hearts, we made it a point to make the most of today and do whatever we can in a day! First off, we headed to Janjan yokocho which is so-called because the ‘Janjan’ sounds like the...

In Osaka (Day 3 – Part 1)

In Osaka (Day 1 – Part 1)
Went to Osaka and Kyoto with Siew Mai for a well deserved break, plus I’ve always wanted to visit Japan in Spring! On the 1st actual day of touring, we asked the hotel’s concierge for a recommended tour route and he was soooo hilarious. After 30 mins of talking to us, he realised that he...

Halia @ Raffles Hotel
They took away Seah Street Deli at Raffles Hotel and replaced it with Halia!! Can’t complain since I’m not a fan of Seah Street Deli nor have I eaten at Halia before so this was a nice place to try out with the family. Mum ordered a starter of roasted carrot soup with olive oil...
