    Travel Time: Niseko March 2017

        Amongst the sea of cooking posts, comes a single travel/videography post. 😀 This was our 3rd time in Annupuri, Niseko. The first two times, weather wasn’t great, despite being closer to the peak periods. This time, I’d say the weather was perfect. 🙂 We hit our usual makan spots, and tried some…

  • Still connected.

    Greetings from Phuket! Tis officially the first day of our vacation here and we’re totally taking it easy by lazing around the pool/beach. While last year we spent most of the time reading and sleeping, this time I have my laptop along for the possible office emergency (hope they don’t call *crosses fingers*). So…

  • gold coast weekend

    wednesday – spent the morning at brisbane’s DFO. drove up to mt coot-tha for its scenic view of the city. finished the rest of the day doing stuff online: facebook, stock market, etc. so by the time we left wired’s place it was already late in the afternoon.  drove down to surfer’s paradise to…

  • brisbane again

    my luv~ our flight to Brisbane arrived spot on time. after disembarking we quickly made our way to the car hire booths and settled with Avis. the lady behind the counter was too friendly, so we were charmed. rates were pretty good too, but we decided not to opt for excess insurance for our…

  • dive dive dive!

    anata~ 4th day at cairns! we decided to take advice from another tour agent and booked ourselves on the Quicksilver tour to the Agincourt ribbon reefs right out there on the edge of the intercontinental shelf (imagine Nemo taking a step over to the deep side of 2000ft.) our day started with a nice…

  • cairns

    konnichiwa, anata~ long time no update. the flight to cairns was uneventful. plenty of space and awesome views out the viewport. we landed abt 15mins later than scheduled, since we were also late in taking off. cairns is a rather quaint city, tis very flat and full of old/original design buildings. we booked a…

  • wednesday thursday

    evenin’ dearest~ weather’s been pretty good, ‘cept that it keeps raining in the morning. so we’ve been postponing the beach walk for quite a bit until today. yesterday we started off with a trip to the Westfield mall in East Gardens to pick up a full length mirror for my sis to replace her…

  • ohayou dearie~ yesterday was also a rather slow day. looks like this holiday will be a very laid back one. we first went to visit the Birkenhead outlet shopping area to look at stuff. discounts were decent, but no major international brands were available, except fcuk. there were some interesting outfits there, but the…

  • mini choc tour

    ohayou, anata~ yesterday was another slow day. we left the apartment around lunch time to take the L94 bus all the way south to La Perouse. this area is a nice quiet place with its own beach and park. one part of this place was also supposedly used to film the final scene of…

  • sydney again

    konbanwa, anata~ 2nd day in Oz started slow. we were still weary from the day before, and i was just enjoying the mattress too much. we finally got out of the apartment around lunch time to savor some Indonesian cuisine at a nearby restaurant called Ayam Goreng 99. really good stuff. picked up weekly…
