I’ve been a little quiet on the blog front recently as I’m adjusting to my new job. This past week, I was invited to attend a workshop for a work project and shockingly, I now have a boss who thinks I should actually attend meetings that I’m invited to. So I was excited (but a bit nervous honestly) to be… Read more »
Well, last week was interesting and by interesting, I mean it was a crazy complicated clusterf*ck. Honestly, I better have gotten all of my 2019 drama out of the way. Although my blog usually covers cancer and travel, I need to unpack what went down last week; and since my blog is, um my blog, this is the outlet I’m… Read more »
Let’s be honest, 2018 was not a year that I would want to relive. And now that we’re in a new year, I can look back with a sigh of relief that I managed to get through that year without a recurrence of melanoma. It’s not to say that simply flipping a calendar page (wait, do people younger than my… Read more »
This week, I celebrated the four year anniversary of my excision. I’ve reached a pretty big milestone in terms of being able to be cautiously optimistic that perhaps my pink melanoma won’t return. At least it isn’t lurking in another patch of skin, although it could be sitting dormant in my cells. I think about where I was in my… Read more »
Our Malaysia Airlines flight from KLIA to Singapore was on-time and uneventful. While the 737 had a very new interior, the seat pitch was really tight. I’m not often grateful that I’m short; but on this flight, I was glad my legs weren’t supermodel-length or my knees would have been bruised being smashed up against the seat in front of… Read more »
Our Malaysia Airlines flight from Phuket to Kuala Lumpur was delayed, so we had an extra hour to loiter around the Phuket International Airport before we boarded the older vintage 737. The seats were not the newest but had a semi-decent amount of legroom. The short hour-ish flight featured a small snack and juice service, a bonus meal I was… Read more »
Although I felt that we really didn’t get a chance to explore as much of Bangkok as I would have liked, I was happy to be headed to a place where I could put my toes in the sand. Phuket is not exactly the hidden island paradise of Thailand though. I originally wanted to go to Langkawi in Malaysia instead;… Read more »
Checking in for our domestic Bangkok Airways flight in the Chiang Mai airport took less than five minutes. With some time to kill, we wandered around the gate area and happened to discover a coffee shop that had paprika potato chips! (If you don’t know, paprika potato chips are one of my most favorite snacks ever.) I did my little… Read more »
After a restful night’s sleep, it was time to jump back on the train to Changi Airport to catch our Scoot Air flight up to Chiang Mai. I can understand why the Changi Airport is voted as a top-ranked airport. The signage is easy-to-follow (English is prominent), there’s waterfalls, gardens, shops, restaurants, and other diversions to while away time spent… Read more »
Welcome to the first installment of my trip to Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore! I’m about a week into my adventure and figured I better start writing things down before I forget. There’s so much to see and experience in this part of the world that it would be easy for things to blur together. If you like my ramblings, read… Read more »
