I knew about the celebrations and have finally made it to the home of the original festivities. The History of the Festivities Kronprinz Ludwig (1786–1868), later King Ludwig I (reign: 1825–1848), married Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on 12 October […]

I think the running bug have bit me. I have increased my weekly run to three times a week. This week, I am doing exceptionally more due to the charity event the company I work for. It has become and annual event and my family will be joining me. We are all participating in the […]

The Long Walk Windsor

I am back in the UK this week for work and have a rented car which makes it easier for me to get around. On my to do list was always the Long Walk in Windsor. With the weather today, it was perfect and only took me less than 20 mins drive from Egham. The […]

Linkin Park – Faint

Linkin Park are back in the headlines again with a new line up after the passing of Chester, the lead singer. They were the first alternative rock band that I listened to. Hybrid Theory will be my favourite album with the song Crawling. I selected this song as my favourite as it makes me want […]

Skyworlds Theme Park Genting Highlands

As if our agenda back in KL wasn’t busy enough, we decided to add a day trip to the outdoor theme park of Genting Highlands. I bought the tickets in advance from Klook which allowed me to scan the QR code at the entrance of the theme park. It is cheaper than buying it at […]

Teluk Intan

An unplanned detour on the way back from our Penang getaway was to stop by my Mother in Law’s hometown of Teluk Intan. This is another destination that I always wanted to visit when I was a child and what a great opportunity to do so. We did climb up the tower in the heat. […]
