November, Please Be Awesome
Saying goodbye to a beautiful month of October, ushering in my favorite year-end season, with a resolution to be always mindful, never to treat anyone with a careless disregard. I was in London treading on mounds of fallen autumn leaves, feeling nostalgia for days gone by. And suddenly I’m in Christchurch with my fourth bout…

Travel-diary: the Beauty of Christchurch
Or rather, the beauty of Peppers Clearwater. Wouldn’t mind waking up to lakes and greens everyday!

Nevertheless, the city still retains such scenic…

Weekend at Christchurch
Perks of having a hugeass suite all to myself: kick back and have a blast! New Zealand’s ‘Four-Seasons-In-A-Day’ rings true – it was sunny (18°C) in the morning and freezing cold (3°C!!) in the night! I’d better enjoy the warmth while it lasts. At Peppers Clearwater Resort, Clearwater Avenue, Christchurch, 8053 New Zealand

Autumn leaves crunching beneath my feet, light rain smattering wet droplets on my leather outer. Can you imagine how happy I was to see the ‘travel bookstore’ with a blue door on Notting Hill?

London Lovin’: Patisserie Valerie
Tucked away in the streets of Notthing Hill is a Patisserie Valerie – great wifi connectivity, comfy sofas, and mad awesome latte with cake!

London Lovin’: Windswept
Good morning London! My face is so not ready to see the world, but this face is so ready to brace the autumn winds hitting the streets today at 24km/h. I’ve heard that some flights leaving London were cancelled in lieu of bad weather. Ironically I’m hoping it stays this way! Have prepared a ready…

Sniffing out the best brews on my London cafè-hunt, I stumbled upon Wild & Coffee Company along Oxford Street.

In an attempt to eat healthy, after weeks of body-damaging food & activities, I’m (finally) faithfully eating my greens! The variety of salads at Pret A Manger is staggering.

London Lovin’: Pret A Manger
It’s London Lovin’ Week! Managed to tick something off my bucket list today: spend an afternoon with coffee and a book, in London’s Pret A Manger. The name Prêt à Manger means ‘ready-to-eat’ in French. The first shop was opened in Hampstead, London. (and please, it’s pronounced “pret-ah-mahn-zhay“, not “prettaye man-gurl”) What I had this…
