Orchard Road Singapore Christmas Light Up 2014

Its the time of the year once again when  the whole stretch of Orchard Road,  the shopping district in Singapore comes at its brightest. Last Saturday 15 November the lighting ceremony was held at Shaw House open area. As in the past years, no less than the President of Singapore graced the event and switched on the christmas decors lightings. 

This year's theme is Christmas on a Great Street. Indeed!  

Overnight in Bagan Myanmar

Part of my travel to Myanmar was the overnight trip to Bagan in the central region of the country. To reach there I took a night bus trip from Yangon. I arrived Bagan in the early morning. The hotel I will be staying was located at the Old Bagan where the thousand pagodas and ancient temples are located.

My Trip to Myanmar

After years on my bucket list, I finally was able to travel to Myanmar this year as my birthday gift to myself. It was a smooth and eye opening experience for me.The reason I keep delaying my travel before because of the visa and the frequency of the flight to Myanmar from Singapore issue. Even when traveling to Myanmar has ease up, still travelers were required to apply a visit visa before one can visit the country and airlines flight schedules were limited to twice a week only. I am holding a Philippines passport, and when we were allowed to travel visa-free then I decided to grab the opportunity soonest as I am curious to see Myanmar at its present situation. I read about Myanmar and become curious and anxious to find out the effect of its isolation from the rest of the world.

The Peri-Peri Chicken of Nando’s

I thought it was just ordinary grilled chicken, so when my friend/ colleague told me to try having lunch at Nando’s  I just  say yes but did not take the initiative to seriously go for it.

But yesterday while I was in Johor Bahru and cannot decide what to go for lunch, it cross my mind to locate Nando’s at City Square Mall just outside the CIQ Complex. Despite of numerous visits to the mall I have no idea where it is located. So I keep going up and coming down to locate the restaurant.  Finally I decided to go to the basement and just go for Japanese sushi. Alas Nando’s is also at the basement and situated in a concealed corner.

So how’s the food?

Welcome back to me

I tried many times to return back to blogging, and during those times I struggled so hard to gain the momentum, I have many things in my mind to tell and to share, personal milestones, travel holidays and things that I want to share. But words just don’t come out easily to develop into sentences and turns into paragraphs to form a story.

I kept on trying and everything ended to nothing. But during those times I keep checking my blog to see and check my readers. I am happy that even it is not active it still get readers. 


On Good Friday

On Good Friday we remember the day Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins  - 1 John 1:10

Fashion Night Out 2014 at Orchard Road Singapore

Last night, part of Orchard Road was transformed into a fashion runway for the annual Fashion Steps Out. There were close to 150 models who walked from Ion Orchard to Paragon Mall donning the designs of local fashion brands. 

I took this opportunity to do my photo shoot, Its been a while that I haven't touch my dslr. I was not happy with the result I took but at least I got to use my camera.

I got no fashion knowledge so my favorite was the beach wear collection lol.

Twenty13

There is no update for this blog the past year. I was too complacent and preoccupied by other things that  I totally neglected visiting and updating my blog. I have been to several trips overseas the past year mostly for rest and recreation rather than discovering new places. I still have few countries within asean that I planned to visit last year, but because it requires longer days I did not pursue them last year. Laos and Myanmar was part of my bucket list last year.
