Reasons Why You Must Visit Singapore

Reasons Why You Must Visit Singapore

People are genuinely very impressed with Singapore and how far we’ve come. Singapore is such a fairytale story. I’m proud to be a Singaporean and I’m so happy that I was born and brought up here. So of course, I’m going to tell you to visit Singapore and enjoy it as well. I’d recommend doing a Southeast Asia Visit instead of just Singapore unless if you’re from our neighbouring countries. It just…

How to Get Enough Sleep?

Let's get #enough #sleep! #bloggers #lbloggers

When I was much younger, sleep was not a piority. I’d go to bed very late and wake up early for school and still feel fine. I didn’t feel any different to be honest. If anything, I felt ‘so cool’. I can function with 3 hours of sleep! But things change as you get older and by right, sleep should be a constant thing for your body, mind and soul to function to its best. It was when I started going…

5 Signs I'm Old

#Signs to show I'm getting #toooldforthis. #bloggers #lbloggers

My age has never frightened me. I’m more than happy to disclose how old I am with no worries. I’ve been this way since young and my family can vouch for that. I still do silly things, of course. While getting old doesn’t necessarily scare me, it does shock me at times how my attitude towards things have changed. KIDS DISTURB ME I use the word ‘kids’ on anyone younger than me – that definitely…

5 (More) Travel Myths

Let's #debunk these #travel #myths! #bloggers #travelbloggers

Just the word ‘travel’ gives off this illusion of lovely discovery of hidden places and just the disconnection from your ‘world’ – an escape. A year ago I wrote 5 travel myths and I thought it is time for another 5 to be debunked. GIRLS SHOULDN’T TRAVEL ALONE This stigma has definitely decreased in recent times but still prevalent. I completely understand the dangers that entail with travelling…

How to Be Alone?

Are you trying to be #alone? #bloggers #lbloggers

Being alone can sometimes be associated with strange connotations – loner, weird, no friends etc. I feel that things are getting better nowadays about it and people aren’t so judge-y now. I’ve never been the girl who was into big groups. I like hanging out with a smaller circle of friends. It just makes sense to me. You get to chat with everyone and everyone is included. Big reunions are great…

Tackling Fears

Let's #tackle some #fears! #bloggers #lbloggers

We are only human. We will have fears and whatnots. That’s how we get better and enjoy life even more. Today, I wanted to share my pretty big fears and how I have been tackling them to my best. I think this might be my most personal post yet. FAILURE I feel that this is the main reason that I tend not to pursue a few things. Isn’t it better if I just don’t it and then I won’t fail at it? Wrong.…

How Going to an All-Girls School Helped Me?

Did you go to an all-girls #school? #bloggers #lbloggers

I am very fortunate to say that my education has been a wonderful one. The bulk of it, 11 years, went to my primary and secondary school times. Of course, my 3 years abroad was a major highlight as well – but that’s for a different day. You can clearly already tell that going to an all-girls school was the best decision that my family did for me (amongst many other things). I honestly owe a lot…

How to Be Happy Again?

Let's always try to be #happy! #bloggers #lbloggers

Being happy is so important. I feel that it helps us keep sane, calm, energised and all the other positives that come along with it. But sometimes it’s not that easy to just ‘be happy’. It can take work and time. Happiness is a complex emotion (like every other one) and it’s the one that we always strive for – no matter what. We do everything that we do to be happy, to make others happy. Of…

Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

Need some #ValentinesDay #Gift #Ideas? #bloggers #lbloggers #love

How did we get to February already? Valentine’s Day is a beautiful one but I feel that we should shower our love and care to people any chance we get. I’ve lost people and that has greatly affected me, and so it means a lot for me to appreciate people. A simple hug, kiss, thank-you and random gifts mean a lot rather than just celebrating your loved ones on one day and be done with it. But if you…

4 Most Used Apps

What are your most used #apps? #bloggers #lbloggers #technology

I did a major clearout right before 2017 on my phone. I deleted so many unnecessary and unused applications. Rediscovered many too! I got into the kick of watching ‘How I Edit My Instagram Photos’ videos and downloaded a ton of photo-editing apps and then ‘My Fitness Routine’ gave me a lot of health apps, moved to ‘My Productive Routines’ and got a lot of reference apps etc. I still have a lot…
