Feb 4, 2025 – My thoughts on Malaysia (Family-friendly, but oh, so hot-hot-hot!)

February, 2025 / Erianna

1️⃣ The People – Kindness Level 100If Malaysia were a person, it would be that ultra-chill, friendly neighbor who always greets you with a smile and never raises their voice. Seriously, I never heard a single argument or even an irritated tone. Everyone we met was welcoming, respectfully curious about us, and just overall pleasant to […]

Feb 4, 2025 – JB to Jakarta, Indonesia

February, 2025 / Erianna

Flying from JB, Malaysia to Jakarta, Indonesia. With a nighttime flight and plenty of hours to kill, we did what any seasoned traveler (or local mall rat) would do—set up camp at City Square Mall after checking out of our Airbnb. Our HQ? The Mixue shop, where we shamelessly indulged in matcha ice cream like

We had grand plans for a second Singapore trip, but between D’s unexpected sick day and the sun acting like an overenthusiastic blowtorch, we decided to keep it local for our last day in JB. Dropped by the local science museum (free entry—our favorite price!) and had a surprisingly fun time. Small but cozy, like

Feb 2, 2025 – Singapore

February, 2025 / Erianna

Off to Singapore today! Breezed through both Malaysian and Singaporean immigration like pros—especially Singapore’s slick automated system. Plenty of people were crossing both ways, so I guess we’ve officially earned the title of “weekend worriers,” as the locals call the cross-border crowd. Hit up some iconic spots:✔️ Sultan Mosque – majestic and golden.✔️ Kampong Glam

Singapore was the plan, but Daniel’s fever had other ideas—so instead of crossing borders, we crossed our fingers for a chill day. Took a stroll to the Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple—admired it like window shoppers who forgot their wallets. Then wandered over to the Abu Bakar Mosque, where the heat was so intense it

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

January, 2025 / Erianna

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

January, 2025 / Erianna

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,

January, 2025 / Erianna

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
