This is an amazing experience everyone should try at least once! It’s not easy but when you make it to top, it’s liberating. The picture above, is taken when we were already at the very very peak! We were picked up at 1.45am from our hotel lobby and ferried to the base of Mount Batur in under 2 hours. It was pitch black! The climb started easy at about 3am. Easy because it was mostly walking on flatland on volcanic…
View PostFirst of all, I’d like to wish everyone Happy Chinese New Year (CNY)… Hope you find prosperity, good health, happiness and loads of fun in this new year of the Rabbit. Small digress here but please don’t buy rabbits just cos it’s rabbit year!! Ok, moving right along, so with CNY, traditions are always to have Lou Hei and big reunion dinners. This year, my very first Lou Hei was with the good people at the Singapore Flyer. I know,…
View PostMBA tours (although recommended) seemed to be a bit too pricey so we headed off to find another operator. Walking along Poppies Lane I, we stopped at a friendly looking guy with a nice smile. His company name is Mr Smiles. Young chap. Very reliable and sincere. Doesn’t beat around the bush with pricing. His name is Opin. Speaks great English too. Yup that’s Opin! Here’s what we got from him: – Rp400,000 for trekking up Mount Batur – Rp200,000…
View PostAdventure day! So Bali’s a great place for loads of water sports and inland adventure activities. One of things we did when in Bali was White Water Rafting. It was awesome man.. I booked my tour with MBA tours and for 3 of us, the price was Rp300,000 (USD32/SGD42) each. There are 11 such companies offering this experience and MBA booked us on with Bali International Rafting. From Kuta beach, the minivan ride was comfortable and took 2 hours thereabouts.…

Stay tuned for more updates from beautiful Bali. Here are me and my traveling buddies, Shan and…
View PostBeen awhile since I had business to attend to in KL, Malaysia. Glad to be going back for the weekend. When I come back, it’ll be the real test. The real beginning of what it means to be independently dependent on myself. These days I’m quite the confused soul. What am I doing? What am I feeling? Why am I doing the things I am doing? But I know time will sort things out for me. I’ll find my way.…
View PostI love Paintball. The almost maniacal glee that comes with shooting your enemy is everything! LOL. If you have not tried paintball, you must. It’s not a guy’s only game. Let this photo-post tell the story. The BF and I, on the same team of course (if not I’m dead for sure – cos he’ll shoot me lor!). The BF, wearing his gear. Blue Team consisted of Jacky, my, Robin, the BF and Alex (my colleagues!) The enemy: Leong, CK,…
View PostSome time back in August, the whole gang of us at Oasis went for our annual office retreat and this year it was to Phuket. We’ve had a good year this year. Everybody worked really hard as a team despite the challenging deadlines. Phuket came as a superb treat for us all to rest, relax and bond for both our offices in Singapore and Malaysia. It was mostly hot throughout our trip with occasional showers. The sun, sea, food and…
