As some of you might know, I’ve quit my job and will be concentrating on Pásshen full time. However, I do need a break. So, I’ll be having a holiday as well as a bit of a work-trip to the US! I’ll be in New York, Chicago and then to the mid-West to see my...

Niagara Falls…I’m sooo going back again!
It was a bright and early morning and off we went to Niagara Falls again! It’s butt/ fingers/ any exposed body part FREEZING!! Doesn’t help that the wind and mist from the falls make it worse! But the view….awesome!!! I’m soooooo going to Canada one day and see the falls from the Canadian side. Gorgeous...

moooving along…
Still enroute to Niagara Falls and we stop by Hershey’s!! The chocolate tour is a short ride with singing cows and the usual explanation on how chocolate is manufactured. At the risk of sounding atas (snobbish for those non-Singaporeans), I couldn’t help but miss my Godiva, Lindtt and Sins. That didn’t stop us from buying...

Anyway, the tour kicked...

New York, New York…
Yes…full days to ourselves in the Big Apple. Now…I read somewhere that New York is referred to as the Big Apple NOT because it looks juicy and everyone wants a piece of it, but it is because ‘apple’ is a musician’s slang for a gig and to play in New York is a ‘big’ deal....
