In case you’re wondering why this blog is named after a Squid, here’s why. In the Malay language, “Sotong” is the word for squid. And according to the Coxford Singlish dictionary (I’m Singaporean), “sotong” is used to describe someone as rather inept or in a world of his own. Presumably, it comes from the squid’s emission of a cloud of ink, hence the popular phrase, “blur like sotong.”

And that’s

how I would describe myself, when I first started travelling at 19 years old and survived a 6 month long trip to India. I then travelled the word, sometimes alone and sometimes with friends. There are many things I learnt the hard way due to inexperience, from getting a brain freeze after washing my hair in negative temperatures in Kashmir, to improvising socks for gloves in the cold winter’s day of Vietnam, or being a bed bug victim after a solo trip to India.
