Adult painting in Bangkok and our own interpretation of Magritte.
Psychoanalyze our personalities!
Travel = doesn't necessarily mean looking like a hobo. My best of travel and fashion topics designed Your shoes alone would take up half of that. Of the tropics?
Who hasn’t dreamed of that scene from S*x and the City, when Carrie lands in Paris and steps out of the car looking incredibly chic and in place. Or how the cast of four arrives in Abu Dhabi looking as though they just stepped out of Vogue while still maintaining sufficient respect to the customs of the country. Now for the rest of us normal people who don’t have cases of Louis Vuitton trunks, or
a rich Russian to pay for excess baggage to boot, the travel world can sometimes seem a little daunting. How do you make sure you get everything that makes you the fabulous you into a small carry-on bag with a 7kg limit! What do you pack on a 3 month long backpacking trip across South America? Or how do you make sure you fit in with the clothing requirements of Muslim countries? Of the chic European South. I have loved travelling for as long as I can remember. I was born and raised in Malaysia, and have lived in Mumbai, Chicago, Amsterdam, Paris and now Singapore. I’ve been blessed to be in jobs that required a lot of travelling, and so have taken the opportunities to visit, breathe and live (albeit short stints) in more than 40 countries so far. My wardrobe has constantly been reinvented by my travels. Vintage finds from small streets in Amsterdam, colourful patterns from India, the cool breezy dresses from Thailand. My travels itself saved by the fact that for the most part I blend in well (I think) with the locals, if not at the very least, looking as close to them as is needed whilst still retaining my own personality. These are my loves, my stories, my travels and my wardrobe. Enjoy.

Turns out there's an outdoor muscle gym right next to my house happy weekend indeed
A good book and the great outdoors. Life is a walk in the park right now
In other places your ice cream toppings are sprinkles and chocolate chip and whipped cream and cherries, in Thailand your ice cream comes with toppings of jackfruit slices, peanuts, sticky rice and red beans pretending to be a pomegranate!
My 7 a.m. Ride, aka why the hell would people do this to themselves?!?!
My kind of perfect morning.
Happy weekend everyone! Love and light for the beautiful days ahead
Because
"Very sorry Mr. Elephants, I wont rev my motorcycle again"
The 'wai' (pressing the palms together and slight bow) is also a common way to apologize
Gotta love a country that has such respect for other living beings
For those who feel like Monday kicked their arse, just a little bit :)
Slowly building up a routine here in Bangkok, which includes hitting the gym.
Not too bad when your gym comes with its own private rock climbing wall, sleep pods, swimming pool and salt saunas!
What every weekend night should look like; game night with good friends playing Cards Against Humanity

Catching Cinderella on a school night. Thanks to Bangkok's International Festival of Dance and Music
At the iconic Iron Fairies :) still as good as it was all those years ago
Close enough I could lick his face
Improv and stand up comedy at = side splits of laughter and half groans. Its every Friday night folks!
P/s: A British accent makes it sound that much more hilarious... And sexy... I cant really place the combo
Thais have no qualms about telling you how they really feel
When you don't really know how to Swing but give it a shot anyways
In Bangkok, one can travel back in time :) to an era of where dapper men in suits and suspenders invite beautiful women with finger curls to swing dance cheek to cheek
Sometimes its the simplest things in life that reminds you how good life really is. Good morning Bangkok!
Underneath its less than glitzy demeanor, Bangkok is one tough lady. Holding her head up high, she is resilient, and she will bounce back. And I am happy to call this city my new home
Got to check out Hamlet's Globe to Globe tour - a two year tour to bring the play to every country around the world. They've tried to keep it as authentic an experience to the Globe Theater as possible, hence keeping the lights on to emulate the open ceiling of the Globe Theater, not using any mics, keeping set and props minimal and a small cast of 10 that take on multiple roles in the play. Also means the play is an enjoyable three hours long :) I do recommend trying to catch it especially since we know they will deff be stopping by your own countries
Happiness is getting to check out the recently renovated Capitol Theatre. Gorgeous retro throwback Singapore!
Singapore can still surprise you sometimes. Places that you took for granted give way to magical Art Deco architecture and a throwback to the roaring twenties. I felt like putting on my flapper dress and finding Gatsby
Moving mobile adventures. 3D pretending to be 2D in 3D
Another year of a fun Singapore Night Festival. This year play with proportion was in the air as giant mesh pigeons sat on trees and 3D outline Mobile's swung in the air
A little childhood magical delight at the stroke of midnight :)
Let it be known, if a rhino on a skateboard was heading towards you, get out of the motherf****** way! Dont stop to take a selfie
Australian product humor cracks me up
You are my wild wild love

Heroes in a half shell! Turtle power! Massive land dinosaurs at the Darwin Research Center, Galapagos. They sound like small earthquakes! Videos and pics doesnt do it justice. These things are massive!! #GlamTravellerGoesToEcuador #travelblogger #travel #TravellingSisterhood #Galapagos
The beautiful parts of life happen when you least expect it. I happened to be walking the hotel grounds when I walked right into this :) #seremban #musiciansofseremban #jeffandpeggy2014 #travelblogger #travelista
Checking out William Close and his Earth Harp. A pretty awesome large scale harp followed by his drum jacket. Mesmerizing show #sgnightfest
