Ning and I have been invited to be speakers at the inaugural Women in Travel conference in Bangkok, and today is the day I fly up to the Thai capital! *woohoo*
For a brief intro of us by the Web in Travel team, click HERE. Very nicely written!
It would’ve been great if the BFF and I could be heading up together to share our amazing 9-month trip around the world but she’s in Rome filming for a TV special and will only be back in Singapore next month.
I’m not someone to not do something just because I have no one to do it with!
So yeaaahh, I’m flying up and sharing on our behalf! It will be a good break too after starting work at Channel NewsAsia in March, and being on a steep learning curve! I am loving my new job, but this restless girl can’t resist any excuse to travel, travel, travel. *grin*
I’m looking forward to meeting the other women speakers at the conference, listening to them, and being part of this amazing vision.
The organizer of the conference, Yeoh Siew Hoon, pointed me to this article. I just read it and even watched the little video at the end. I realize that I’m part of something much bigger, of someone’s vision, that I realize is also my own.
Have a read by clicking here. Women travelers rock!

The BFF Ning calls me a Facebook Addict. Actually I'm not *shifty eyes* I just own an iPhone. And those of you who own iPhones and leave 'em by your bedside when you sleep, will empathize with me when I say that it's instinctive to wake up and check Facebook, right? *shifty eyes* Right??? Well,…
It's been 10 days since we've touched down in Singapore and I'm feeling unusually down today. Partly because I know I need to write, and the words are just not flowing. Partly because I know, too, that my heart is restless and it wants to be somewhere else. [caption id="attachment_385" align="alignleft" width="640" caption="Somewhere out there,…
"I expect to pass this way but once; any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." ~ Etienne de Grellet I stuck a poster with this…
G'day, A2G'ers! (my newly-minted name for you!). Wanna come with us to the exclusive Club Med party at Avalon @ Marina Bay Sands? *LOL* It was really fun to dress up & put on makeup, and party with the BFF after 9 months of not doing so. Don't get me wrong, we love going through…
I must be excited because there is no good reason why I should be awake at this unearthly hour! I only slept at about 2.30am last night, and I know the BFF Ning was also awake cos we were whatsapp-ing each other till 2-ish... The difference though, is that she was working, which is a…
I was having dinner with my family last night and my sister Des said, "You missed so much while you were away!" My bestie Gen concurred, and the two gushed on about the two very exciting elections Ning and I missed between the months of March and November 2011. Yup, the General Elections and the…
I am feeling stressed cos I deleted my Microsoft Word from my MacBook Air somewhere in India. I ran out of memory space on my laptop, and all the pics I'd taken on my camera were amassing to the thousands and I couldn't shit them out onto my laptop. So I deleted all the apps on…
Ning & I set up this blog way before we left on our 9-month adventure with lofty plans to blog regularly as we make our way around the world. But for those of you who have travelled continuously for that length of time, living off a backpack, and staying in (often) basic & affordable lodging,…
When I was a kid, I was painfully slow at everything. I read "filial piety" with all earnest as "final pity" (I remember Dad thoughtfully agreeing that yes, they should call it that). During our very first sex ed class, I believed that when a boy hits puberty, he basically leaves his childhood and enters…
