Taipei Trip 2023

Posted on 11 September 2023 by lendeliz

Scoot started having its Tuesday promo, and we found a relatively inexpensive deal! After hubby mentioned it to a few friends, we found ourselves an additional companion for the trip and a free Taiwan SIM card plus free MRT rides between Taoyuan Airport and Taipei Main Station. 🙂

It was K’s maiden trip to Taipei, and she wanted to try beef noodles and do more scenic visits, so this trip deviated a bit from the 8-meals-per-day kind of itinerary, haha! Hubby wanted to eat a lot of braised pork rice, so I die die squeezed in 4 meals of beef noodles and braised pork rice into the itinerary. Happy bellies, happy companions 😛

This time, we decided to stick to our our usual hotel stay in 新驛旅店台北車站 CityInn Hotel Taipei Station. Note that Branch II and III are just side by side, and we have stayed in both before. Both felt the same.

Hong Kong 2023 Itinerary

Posted on 23 April 2023 by lendeliz

When hubby got the “free ticket” from Cathay (with a SGD 200+ tax), we somehow managed to deconflict and squeezed out a short weekend trip to Hong Kong and we paid like SGD 600 for my ticket -_-“

Chiong-ed home for a quick shower after my night class, we grabbed our backpack and took public transport to the airport where we had a quick supper prior to our red-eye flight. I was so tired that I slept through most of the turbulence, except the part where I kinda got lifted up my seat… the importance of keeping your seat belt on at all times!

This time, we decided to stay at Four Points by Sheraton at Tung Chung, mainly because we wanted to stay nearer to the airport due to our flight timings. It was great that there were free shuttle between the hotel and Tung Chung MTR, as well as between the hotel and the airport! The room was quite nice and we were happy with our stay 🙂

Road Trip 2022 – Batu Pahat, Melaka, Putrajaya, Gopeng, Ipoh, Ambang, Johor Bahru

Posted on 22 May 2022 by lendeliz

After a rather successful test-water half day trip to Johor Bahru, we decided to go ahead with our road trip that was supposed to be done before COVID-19 hit us.

As we have only 1 driver among the 3 of us, we decided to take it easy by having multiple breaks.

Our itinerary for the 4D3N trip:

Batu Pahat

Half Day Trip to 貴船 Kibune and 鞍馬 Kurama

Posted on 11 October 2019 by lendeliz

IMG_3185The weather turned out better than expected, and we decided to go ahead with the hike from 貴船 Kibune to 鞍馬 Kurama as planned.

We headed for breakfast at a Happiness Cafe nearby at 7:30am, and caught the 8:30am subway to Kyoto station. It was crowded at Kyoto Station and we had to squeeze into our connecting train. The crowd-at-door syndrome was not unique to Singapore 😅

At 出町柳駅 Demachiyanagi Station, we purchased a ¥1800 discount ticket (Train – Hot Spring All in One Pass 貴船鞍馬散策チケット) each that would allow us a return trip to 貴船/鞍馬 Kibune/Kurama (usual ¥860) , plus the entrance fee to the 鞍馬寺 Kurama Temple (usual ¥300), and entrance fee to くらま温泉 Kurama Outdoor Onsen (usual ¥1000).

Weekend Trip to Melaka, Malaysia

Posted on 17 February 2019 by lendeliz

IMG_1113Dr. K was going back to Melaka over the weekend and we decided to hitch a ride 🙂 Just like the previous trip, we thought to explore another city while en-route to Malacca.

We set off from Singapore on Saturday and visited Breakfast in Johor Bahru at 榕树下粿条仔 Restoran Rong Shu Xia first before having a pit stop at Yong Peng 永平 and visited 永兴福州饼面厂 Eng Hin Kedai Membuat Kuih-Muih and 元延原创永平正宗西刀鱼圓 Yuan Yean Fishball Eating House.

The rest of the day was spent at Melaka where we went to

China Trip 2019

Posted on 7 January 2019 by lendeliz

IMG_0461We woke up bright and early at 5am, and GoJek-ed to the airport, reaching way ahead of time to check out the Harry Potter set-up at Terminal 3, and to have breakfast. This time, we tried The Green Market at Terminal 2. Food was pretty decent! There was a Harry Potter exhibition at the airport, so we had fun taking some selfies before the flight 😛

Our flight was on time and some 300 minutes later, we arrived 😀

It took us about an hour to clear immigration and queue to get out of the airport due to the security checks. It was a 10-minute brisk walk to Terminal 1, where the 长途汽车站 Coach Station is, and where we experienced the first blast of 7 degree Celcius smoky air…Thankfully the queue at the ticket counter was very short, and we managed to grab tickets for the 4pm coach to 杭州 Hangzhou (¥115 per ticket including insurance; sales stop 2 minutes before scheduled departure).

Day trip to 绍兴 Shaoxing, China

Posted on 4 January 2019 by lendeliz

IMG_0541We had bought our train tickets (¥12.50 per adult one way) to 绍兴 Shaoxing so we did not have to rush for time this morning. Unfortunately, there was a train delay and we arrived at 绍兴 20 minutes behind schedule. The train station was a big building with no visible cab queue nearby for us to try to get a cab. Finally, we decided to pay a premium (¥15 per pax) for a private car by the driver who offered us a ride to 东湖. According to 百度 Baidu, a 10 to 15-minute cab ride would cost around ¥20.

After getting tickets (¥50 per adult + ¥85 for the boat ride) and a quick toilet break (cleanest toilet so far!), we entered 东湖 East Lake around 9.40am. As we wanted to take the 乌篷船 boat ride from the further Pier No. 2 back to Pier No. 1, we took a very leisurely 1-hour stroll to reach Pier No. 2, with many stops to take pictures and enjoy the view. There was a light drizzle throughout our stroll, and somehow it added a mysterious misty and romantic feel to the visit. Perhaps because of the rain, it was also very quiet. Continue reading →

Day trip to Johor, Malaysia

Posted on 4 September 2018 by lendeliz

IMG_7666Today was yet another day trip to Johor filled with fun and laughter 😀

We started off late around 8.30am today, which turned out to be a good thing, because it was pouring so heavily in the morning. There was a fair bit of jam at customs, but we managed to clear it after an hour or so.

Our itinerary for the day:

Pretty relaxed, and we did spend a bit of time getting lost, but it was always so fun getting lost together 😛 Looking forward to our next trip together, Ms K and Ms T!
