Took a trip to Klinik People’s because D decided to start the Chinese New Year year with a sore throat. Got antibiotics and enough meds to make him feel like a walking pharmacy. Then, swung by City Square for some much-needed comfort food—Roti Canai, made from ghee-kissed dough that’s theatrically tossed (or “tebar,” as the […]

Going by bus from Malacca to Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Strolled down the boardwalk promenade along the Johor Strait—because what’s New Year’s Eve without a little waterfront flair? Fireworks? Naturally. Glimpsed Singapore shining across the water. Wrapped up the night like true champs—with glorious scoops of coconut-mango ice cream.

Day Two in Malacca: A Tale of Ruins, Rituals, and Rivalries! Kicked off the day with a visit to A Famosa, the remnants of a once-mighty Portuguese fortress from 1512—because nothing says “good morning” like a bit of colonial history. Followed that up with the Church of Saint Paul, a charmingly weathered ruin and one

Spent the day in Malacca with zero plans—just letting the city happen. First stop: the Malacca Tower revolving ride. Got some great views of land and sea, and by “great,” I mean we spotted everything… including a Burger King. Naturally, Daniel couldn’t resist. Junk food cravings = strong. Next, we wandered over to Dutch Square,

Going by bus from KL to Malacca, Malaysia. So apparently, the “fully equipped kitchen” that AirBnb promised us for cooking our own meals… has no stove. Not a single burner in sight. Guess we’re not cooking at home after all! Instead, we hit up the mall food court for dinner (because who needs home-cooked when

Daniel hit the race track, living his best Gran Turismo fantasy—clearly inspired by our morning movie binge. Pretty sure he thought he was auditioning for the sequel! Checked out the KL Telecom Tower—it’s perfect, no doubt. But we skipped going up because, honestly, our 33rd-floor apartment already serves 24/7 premium views of KL. Why pay

Planned for the Symphony Water Fountain at KLCC Park, but fate had a plot twist—a dazzling drone show stole the spotlight! We arrived perfectly on cue, almost like someone orchestrated our timing. The coordination of those drones? Pure sorcery! It. Was. Spectacular. Oh, and the water fountain show? A delightful encore to the unexpected magic.

Petrosains Science Discovery Center: where science meets fun, and your brain gets a workout while your inner child runs wild. D and I had an absolute blast diving into a smorgasbord of geeky goodness. From hands-on science exhibits that made us feel like mini-Einsteins to playing around with robots that could probably outsmart us on

We set out on a noble quest to find a wet market (or any market for that matter. Central market doesn’t count as it’s a tourist attraction) and, well… failed spectacularly. But as fate would have it, we stumbled upon the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple right in the heart of Chinatown. A Hindu temple cozied

Today, we played tourist in the heart of the city, checking out Jamek Mosque, Independence Square (hello, Sultan Abdul Samad Building), Central Market, and the ever-bustling Petaling Street. Basically, we hit all the spots that scream, “You’re in KL!” Along the way, we got adventurous with fruit shopping: grabbed some lanzones, which look like longans
