#Throwback No.86: Remembering 2 years to the day, the unforgettable trip I had with the boys, visiting Kawaguchiko and admiring the majesty of Mount Fuji. It was a great day with a postcard perfect view of the peak, not a single cloud in the sky. It was a perfect day with the boys. One that I wish I can do again 2 years later to the day. / # #Travel #Travels #wanderlust #vsco #vscotravel #igworldclub #igtravel #tlasia #inspirationcultmag #culture #travelgram #travelawesome #travelcommunity #traveler #beautifulplaces #traveldestination #TLAsia #travelphotography #klookstories (at Lake Kawaguchi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNpfrARJdfw/?igshid=yknz85kxtdot

#Throwback No.85: “Like a shadow, I am and I am not.” A little snap of my shade as I take the time to remember that only a bright light casts a dark shadow. Grateful for the people that casts my shadow in the light. / #Travel #Travels #wanderlust #vsco #vscotravel #igworldclub #igtravel #tlasia #inspirationcultmag #culture #travelgram #travelawesome #travelcommunity #traveler #beautifulplaces #traveldestination #TLAsia #travelphotography #klookstories (at Osaka) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNpeNO-JI3T/?igshid=16nevd6tvvkvx

#Throwback No.84: When we miss something a little too much, we start seeing small resemblances everywhere we go. Just like the recent sakura craze. But there is really no substituting the real deal. / #Tokyo #CherryBlossom #Sakura #Japan #instagramJapan #InstaJapan #team_JP_ #japantrip #visitjapanjp #Travel #Travels #wanderlust #vsco #vscotravel #igworldclub #igtravel #tlasia #inspirationcultmag #culture #travelgram #travelawesome #travelcommunity #traveler #beautifulplaces #traveldestination #TLAsia #travelphotography #klookstories (at Imperial Palace Garden Tokyo, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNhCIhDpBTU/?igshid=1o50bef9eyf78

#Throwback No.83: Being a citizen of the Commonwealth and living in Australia for a number of years, I grew up largely influenced by the British. All my life, I’ve only known stamps, coin and pound with Queen Elizabeth’s side profile on it and the Royal Family was a visible part of pop culture where I live. I remembered how glued to the TV I was during Princess Diana’s funeral and having been to London several times, always recognize what i see on TV. The British lost Prince Philip today. I really wonder how things will unfold from here on. It’s a sad day for the UK for sure. / #London #England #UnitedKingdom #GreatBritain #Westminster #Thames #Travel #Travels #wanderlust #vsco #vscotravel #igworldclub #igtravel #tlasia #inspirationcultmag #culture #travelgram #travelawesome #travelcommunity #traveler #beautifulplaces #traveldestination #TLAsia #travelphotography #klookstories (at Westminster, Central London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNdBU4OJJjq/?igshid=tuzxcz98cr2r

<Swipe to see before and after> #Throwback No.82: There was this spot in Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown on Jalan Sultan that I love to photograph. It was a retro photo studio that processes film in an age where everything has since moved digital. And just like that, the shop has moved on and in its place, a trendy cafe @yewyewkl that now draws photographers and cafe hoppers alike, perhaps more than the previous photography shop could. Talk about irony. On the bright side, Yew Yew serves pretty good drinks and desserts. / #KualaLumpur #Malaysia #Chinatown #PetalingStreet #JalanSultan #Cafe #Cafehopping #Retro #Travel #Travels #wanderlust #vsco #vscotravel #igworldclub #igtravel #tlasia #inspirationcultmag #culture #travelgram #travelawesome #travelcommunity #traveler #beautifulplaces #traveldestination #TLAsia #travelphotography #klookstories (at Yewyewkl) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNP3KQ2JFr0/?igshid=wvr06852hb68

#Throwback No.81: Reflecting on Easter Weekend. I remember that time when I had a moment inside the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican and was admiring the intricate art on its ceilings, the story of creation, sacrifice and redemption. I admit I teared a little seeing the story of God’s love and redemption of His people so vividly portrayed in almost lifelike form. Nothing in the vast majesty of the Vatican nor St Peters Cathedral compared to that intimate encounter inside that Chapel. / #SistineChapel #StPetersCathedral #TheVatican #Vatican #VaticanMuseums #Rome #Italy #Easter #Travel #Travels #wanderlust #vsco #vscotravel #igworldclub #igtravel #tlasia #inspirationcultmag #culture #travelgram #travelawesome #travelcommunity #traveler #beautifulplaces #traveldestination #TLAsia #travelphotography #klookstories (at Vatican Museums - Musei Vaticani) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNMSp2pJcG0/?igshid=1hl9xnbc9wisx

#Throwback No.80: Seeing @aribica.malaysia opening in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur make me miss @aribica.journal in Kyoto even more.

#Throwback No.68: Through the looking glass. A retail looking glass. One of the things I enjoy is was admiring the often elaborate window displays outside the windows famed brands. A walk through Champs-Élysées, Boulevard Haussmann or Rue Saint-Honoré wouldn’t be complete without me snapping a few that caught my attention. This is window outside Louis Vuitton in a spring walk through Place Vendôme was particularly mesmerizing. / #Paris #France #PlaceVendome #Travel #Travels #wanderlust #vsco #vscotravel #igworldclub #igtravel #tlasia #inspirationcultmag #culture #travelgram #travelawesome #travelcommunity #traveler #beautifulplaces #traveldestination #TLAsia #travelphotography #klookstories (at Place Vendôme) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMofaavJw-U/?igshid=184b7qss43hs5

#Throwback No.67: I swear it’s peer pressure that I put on the yukata and walk around Kyoto for a day. Took some amount of convincing, but you know... FOMO. / #Kiyomizudera #Kyoto #Japan #Kansai #instagramJapan #InstaJapan #team_JP_ #japantrip #visitjapanjp #Travel #Travels #wanderlust #vsco #vscotravel #igworldclub #igtravel #tlasia #inspirationcultmag #culture #travelgram #travelawesome #travelcommunity #traveler #beautifulplaces #traveldestination #TLAsia #travelphotography #klookstories (at Kiyomizu-dera) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMcSj0yJGFh/?igshid=1142ejufo8g2s

#Throwback No.66: The thing about travelling with your team is that you’ll be forced - from time to time - to do crazy things, snap crazy photos and just embarrass yourself when necessary. It’s a good way to let loose and not to take oneself too seriously, lol. / #OsakaCastle #Osaka #Japan #Kansai #instagramJapan #InstaJapan #team_JP_ #japantrip #visitjapanjp #Travel #Travels #wanderlust #vsco #vscotravel #igworldclub #igtravel #tlasia #inspirationcultmag #culture #travelgram #travelawesome #travelcommunity #traveler #beautifulplaces #traveldestination #TLAsia #travelphotography #klookstories (at Osaka Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMZb9vvp7By/?igshid=1eq07z9dn15sb

#Throwback No.65: Another shot from the early days. Another snapshot of a snapshot. Truth be told, I hated every moment of the farm stay that came with the New Zealand trip, but my sister seems to enjoy it. / #NewZealand #PureNewZealand #Photography #Farm #Travel #Travels #wanderlust #vsco #vscotravel #igworldclub #igtravel #tlasia #inspirationcultmag #culture #travelgram #travelawesome #travelcommunity #traveler #beautifulplaces #traveldestination #TLAsia #travelphotography #klookstories (at New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMYuI77pFmx/?igshid=1lmadw7qioflr

#StuckatHome No.64: This is one of my favourite photos of my early days learning photography. An accidental capture of my sister chasing sheet on a farm in New Zealand. I had to take a photo of an actual photo print as I’ve lost the original negatives. Was still using film at the point and this was my very first long-haul trip and the one that ignited a photo bug. I remember triggering the wrath of my dad because I used up 13 rolls of film on that trip and all I get was reels of scenery, lol. We don’t think much of it today because a digital capture can be a throwaway but every snapshot captured on film costs money. / #NewZealand #PureNewZealand #Photography #Travel #Travels #wanderlust #vsco #vscotravel #igworldclub #igtravel #tlasia #inspirationcultmag #culture #travelgram #travelawesome #travelcommunity #traveler #beautifulplaces #traveldestination #TLAsia #travelphotography #klookstories (at New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXcrR1JOuM/?igshid=1cq4edukxsw3g

#StuckatHome No.61: Of all my travels, one thing I have observed is that beyond the glitzy exterior of a place, attraction or spot, there is a seedier underbelly of back lanes, dark corners and paths that seem to lead down the rabbit hole. Most times we just don’t venture beyond the marked path. It’s an unknown. It’s unmarked and in some cases, just downright dangerous. But I also discovered that when we take these paths, ignore the glitter of tourist staple and venture out into the unknown (and smartly with guides and locals), you’ll discover the life that feeds the soul of the place. That lesson carries with me into life beyond travel. “Never be so blinded by attractive lights that we miss out on the grit of an experience that can truly immerse your soul.” / #Barcelona #Catalonia #Spain #UNESCOWorldHeritage #Europe #PlazaReal #GothicQuarter #Travel #Travels #wanderlust #vsco #vscotravel #igworldclub #igtravel #tlasia #inspirationcultmag #culture #travelgram #travelawesome #travelcommunity #traveler #beautifulplaces #traveldestination #TLAsia #travelphotography #klookstories (at Barrio Gótico de Barcelona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMPFdatJOf0/?igshid=kif1cb3kx2j1
