After a well-rested night, we began the next day with the typical breakfast the locals eat. Ta-Dah! Looks like the carrot cake we can find in Singapore hawker centre isn’t it?

Life is a bed of roses. Thorns included. ;)
Not trying to sound bigger than I am but I do view life as a very interesting vehicle. It depends on how you steer this vehicle and the route you intend to travel.

Visiting Taiwan . 2 Oct 2012. Day 5. Part 1/3 Catching the sunrise
Man… This is arduous. Waking up at 4 am is no joke. Poh has opted out of this activity as sleep seemed a better option. I struggled but decided to go for it in the end. Since I can hardly remember if I had ever did such a crazy thing in any of my previous … Continue reading
