Singapore Katong Swimming Complex
Being in tropical, sunny island Singapore, it is not surprising to see many locals head down to the myriad swimming complexes in the neighbourhood. To find a swimming complex which is not crowded is virtually impossible. My husband said that the one at Katong is less crowded, so we …
Lakeway resort and spa
Recently I visited Lakeway resort and spa in Austin, Texas for a wedding. I don’t have much experience with spa or resorts and I rarely go behind Bee Caves since I lived in the Barton Springs area. However, I was fortunate enough that my boyfriend’s cousin’s wedding was held …

Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved two things: animals, and the water. Oceans are such an amazing eco-system, and sharks have always been among my favorite ocean animals. I always wanted to see one up close, though I figured I would never get the chance.
Fast forward …

The scenery was beautiful, there were plenty of trees, and hiking trails. The cabins …
Inflatable Boxing Set
I decided that this year one of my sons Christmas presents would be an inflatable boxing set. I am always a little unsure about buying this type of thing for my son because you often see reviews for such toys suggesting they have been a real let down.
I decided …

Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort
I was visiting my brother in San Antonio, TX. when he suggested to go to Schlitterbahn Water park. At first I was hesitant because to me water parks are full of babies in diapers and snotty nosed kids in the pool. I was very pleasantly surprised when …
Rooster Tail Lures

Manila Zoo
When I heard the news that the City of Manila is considering tearing down Manila Zoo to build a home for the PBA (Philippin Basketball Association), I was crushed. I admit that Manila Zoo is not state of the art, or even well kept at that. But it holds …

Calgary Public Library
I was never much of a library user in my younger days. If there was a particular book I wanted to read, I’d probably just go out and buy it. Now that I’m married and have kids, I can definitely not afford to just go out and …
Kelly Howell’s Guided Meditation CD

Scotty Cameron California Del Mar Putter

Cannafest Prague 19th-21st of November

The first thing that I love about these canoes …
Edinburgh Fencing Club
If you are a fencer, I probably don’t need to explain how the sport draws people into a social circle as much as it draws them into a sport. There is something about the way that fencers stand and watch their fellow club members fight it out on the …
