Legend has it: a boat carrying Ta Kreng (Grandpa Kreng) and Yai Riem (Grandma Riem) capsized at Ko Samui, killing the old couple who, for their son’s sake, were sailing to Prachuap Khiri Khan to ask for the hand of their in-law’s daughter. The locals believed then that their organs turned into the rock formationsContinue reading “[THAILAND] o12.Does Nature Imitate Art?”

[THAILAND] o11.Shopping @ The Buddy Oriental Plaza Samui
Drawn by the ring road’s sleek and appealing post-colonial design, we parked here on our way to Lamai Beach for beach-wear shopping. The ring road consists mostly of restaurants (Pazzo Italian Cuisine and Wine Bar, Mulligan’s Irish Pub) and boutiques (Chicstation, CocoVilla Supermarket, Lamai Boutique). The street stalls on the road leading away from theContinue reading “[THAILAND] o11.Shopping @ The Buddy Oriental Plaza Samui”
[THAILAND] o10.Lamai Beach Samui

Jet-skiing is such amazing funContinue reading “[THAILAND] oo9.Leaving on a Jet-Ski”

Describe the taste of mint, without using the words blue, green, cool or fresh. No, you can’t use “minty” either. — Sarah Selecky You place it gently at the tip of your tongue, slowly wrapping it in a fold, delivering it into the moist cave between your lips as you clench your teeth shut. YouContinue reading “Writing Prompt: Mint”

Sun, sand, sky, sea – recipe for indulgences. And thus the three of us decided to go chasing dolphins in the setting sun! Maldives is indeed the perfect getaway.

a drop of dew on a flower
So on one of the toughest sectors ever, the cutest infant smiles at me, grabs my little pinkie, cuddles it against her cheek, and my heart melts completely at her strawberry sized feet.

Photo: Written in sand
The heart tells you where you want to be, not where you need to go. Destiny is not written in the stars. It is written in sand. Recharting a life will change it forever – just as simply, a fingerstroke can change an entire sand-art irreversibly. A destiny can also be re-written to imitate, butContinue reading “Photo: Written in sand”
