Apologies for the brief blogging hiatus... things were absolutely crazy both at work and in life in the days leading up to Christmas. Before I knew it, it was time to hop on a plane to Singapore, which has always been one of my favourite places to visit in Southeast Asia. My parents recently moved there so I had an "excuse" to go again!
Although most of my time was spent doing family things, I managed to take in a few sights, including the Marina Bay area, Chinatown, and Sentosa Island.
I also enjoyed eating some favourite local foods. Desserts in this region are especially yummy. Pictured below: mango sago, iced kachang, and cendol.
Kuala Lumpur is only a 40 minute plane ride away from Singapore, so I was able to spend a few days there as well. I finally got to see the Petronas Towers in real life since the last time I was in KL I wasn't able to.
Anyway, that was a very short but much-needed break. Now to get over my jetlag and back into the routine of things here in Vancouver. I hope you all had a great holiday season and a happy new year!
woooow such amazing PHOTOS!! thanks for sharing them!!!

@maddy Yeah, I felt bad for totally disappearing without an explanation! Definitely good to be back to blogging :)
ReplyDelete@Kerri They are sooo cool at night because they're all lit up. I wish we had buildings like that here.
@MissA* Ah, have so much fun!!
@Jen I hope you get to visit soon! Singapore is one of the few cities in Asia I could probably live in since it's quite modern and things are very accessible. The only thing that takes some getting used to is the heat... it is sooooo hot always.
i love this pictures ! amazing! hope to go there someday :)

I think the best place to go if you want to hang out and destress is Singapore. Huh? busy street, great night life, amazing people and quite a liberation of everything.
