Maybe it was because I was famished, but this Nonya meal at the famous restaurant called Makko was so good and I ate too quickly. There was a special type of prawn crackers that you don’t get in Singapore. It … Continue reading →

Longing for a Luxury Holiday in Bintan

Posted on October 22, 2012 by bookjunkie

Took a trip down memory lane instead. I’m old enough to not be embarrassed to say I hate roughing it out. Done it before in my early twenties. Happily even. On spartan bunk beds. My good friend E will remember. … Continue reading →

Memories of Hong Kong & Trip Planning, from My Old Journal Entries

Posted on October 16, 2012 by bookjunkie

Our Hong Kong Trip Back in 2007: Day 4

Our Hong Kong Trip Back in 2007: Day 3

Posted on October 14, 2012 by bookjunkie

So far the trip seems a tad boring, but perhaps it was because I wasn’t taking pictures with an intention to blog about the trip. It’s funny how blogging itself can make a trip more fascinating. I’m hoping it gets … Continue reading →
