Christmas in Paradise: The Marcoses X Krabi and Phuket

It's Christmas time and yes it is the most wonderful time of the year, after all, it is our Saviour's birthday! This time the family took on a different kind of Christmas.

A Weekend in Batam

September 28-30 2018 What good way to end a busy week by having a short weekend trip to a place where fun meets the sun. With just a short ferry ride from Singapore, we're all smiles and headed our way to Batam, a small island in Indonesia.  Batam is a shopping haven, from clothes, toys, groceries and a lot of cheap finds! It is visit-worthy for budget travelers and a great escape from the...

Beyond the Cliffs of Andaman Sea: Sail Away to Krabi

Imagine yourself lounged under the glistening sun. Surrounded by magnificent seascapes of hanging garden atop a limestone cliff, cradled by the waves of emerald water of the Andaman. I imagined it, a thousand times too many. Krabi has always been my dream destination. Not because an island was in the movie but I have always known that there is something enchanting beyond those cliffs. It was...

The City of Dreams: Macau (Gabby's Birthday Week HK-Macau 12/03-08/16)

It has always been my dream to see the Ruins of St. Paul's Church in Macau. I remembered being fascinated by it through a book I happened to borrow in our High School library. It has always been engraved in my mind ever since. I thought how come a ruin, through the passage of time, stood ever beautiful and captivating. I wanted to see it for myself and touch those pillars that stood the test of...

The Marcoses explores Cuatro Islas!

Sweet summer of 2016, the salty smell of the sea, the sound of the waves gently kissing the sand, the gentle itch of sunburn and the hint of tan on my skin and lastly, the fun that comes with it. Oh, I would love to experience all of it, and yes, I did plus the whole of The Marcoses too! We had the satisfaction to ourselves, to have spent our summer to not one but the scenic Cuatro Islas of...

Malacca and the sensual art of history (09/11-13/15) A UNESCO World Heritage Site

It was an enjoyable 4-hour ride from Bugis Station to Melaka City Centre which is a...
