April 29th, 2024 Wow, my very last blog, I actually can’t believe it. In less than two weeks, I will be back in the United States, going to my summer internship in Boston, and then going into my senior year! It is extremely bittersweet, there is a lot I am going to miss about Singapore and just being abroad, but I am also ready to see my family and friends again. I feel like I am grieving Singapore and I haven’t even left yet. I am kind of relieved to not have to pack for a new country every single […]
April 22nd, 2024 What a great week! My long-awaited trip to Bali was this weekend and it was even better than I imagined. But before I get into Bali, I should mention I finally completed the last major thing I wanted to do in Singapore, visit the top of the Marina Bay Sands. Me and my roommate Grace went for sunset, the views were beautiful even if it was a bit cloudy. Afterwards, we got soup dumplings at Din Tai Fung which is something we had been planning to do since our time in Sydney. As always, we had to […]
April 15th, 2024 This weekend I went to Penang! But first, I must mention my time in Singapore. The best moment of my time in Singapore was 100% when me and my roommate Grace got chili crab with fried mantou. This is the one meal that we have been planning to do, and it definitely lived up to my expectations. The mantou dipped in the chili crab sauce was amazing, and I love seafood, so the whole experience was amazing. However, it was very messy and I am not that good at eating smaller crabs, so I am very grateful […]
April 8th, 2024 Just another casual week in Singapore, working, walking around the malls, eating at the hawker centers. And this weekend? I went to Vietnam! Even before getting to Vietnam was such an experience. After having to pay $90 to expedite my Visa so I could actually board my flight, I have truly learned my lesson to look at the Visa requirements well in advance. But wow, Vietnam was incredible! Upon getting to our hostel, I was fearing for my life because the roads are insane! Nearly everybody drives a motorcycle and there are very limited crosswalks, stop lights, […]
April 1st, 2024 This weekend, I went to Bintan, Indonesia! It was my first official, planned trip to another country rather than my impromptu day trip to Malaysia. The resort at Bintan was just so beautiful, that is what I imagined for my spring break. If you have ever watched White Lotus, I felt like I was in White Lotus Lite version, just overall very tropical. The weather was also a lot more tolerable than Singapore since it was less humid. The beach’s sand felt like flour, but the water was like bathwater. But at least now I can say […]
