Ranking 8 Hotels & Hostels in Taipei — The Best & The Worst

July 26, 2019

Across my (now numerous) trips to Taipei, I’ve stayed in about 8 accommodations — I love trying out different hotels and as I’ve found, particularly in Taiwan, the rule of thumb is that not all expensive accommodations are great, and sometimes the impressive ones are the ones that you didn’t have to pay all that…

April 12, 2019

2019 brings exciting news in the realm of cards, including the introduction of BOC’s Elite World Mastercard and much-needed upgrades to Citibank Rewards as well as (finally!) the UOB Lady’s Card. My spending patterns have also changed drastically given the entrance of my two furkids, so I undertook a huge credit card strategy revamp this…

Tenant’s Review: Living at V on Shenton

March 3, 2019

About a year ago in 2018, I found a great deal at an apartment near office and jumped at the opportunity to live 2 minutes away from work. Having moved out recently, it seems the perfect time to close this chapter on a beautiful home, and get settled into our new one. 🙂 ABOUT THE…

Chelsea’s Bookshelf (May 2018)

May 5, 2018

All my life, the one thing that has remained constant has always been books. Reading is so much a part of my life that I really don’t think I can go anywhere without my laptop (for articles) or my Kindle. So when I realized I haven’t been blogging as regularly as I used to due…

My Apple Watch is Five-Faced

January 7, 2018

I’ve had the same Daniel Wellington since 2013 (yes, before it became cool to own one) and as much as I love my Canterbury/Oxford straps, I thought it was time to decommission mine. The search for a watch began with Bering, led me into smart analog watches (like those from Fossil) and ended with an…

150,000 miles in 8 months: Credit Card Strategy in Review (Oct 2017)

October 18, 2017

  As I was paying my credit card bills this month, I realized, much to my surprise, that I had unknowingly crossed the 6-digit mark of miles accrual. If you guys remember, I began collecting miles after first coming across Milelion in end Jan 2017 and proceeding to apply for my first card, the Citibank…

My Todoist Setup (Sept 2017): Multiproject Mania

September 16, 2017

This post wasn’t going to come so soon, but I’d decided I wanted to do a spring cleaning of my Todoist setup, and so here it is in its unrivalled beauty. This is a format that has worked for me for the past 3 months (thank you for hauling me to Todoist, @Aankita Mukherjee!), but…

A New Pet Café in the West – Fur Paws Cafe

August 26, 2017

So the best friend @Jean Lee and I headed for our usual weekend hustle. The past few weeks, we’d gone to Coffee Bean Tea Leaf at Rail Mall, but this week in particular, she was craving Revelry’s Cookie Monster milkshake, and so we headed there. Lo and behold, beside Revelry where Nook Pancakes used to be,…

Korean Air Moves to T4 – A Wanderlust Revival

August 16, 2017

Just earlier today, I was thinking about being 40,000ft away from everyone and their bullshit and then this came in my email – I’m not sure if it’s a targeted promotion but this has piqued my interest to try the spanking new Terminal 4. I’ve been excited about it ever since PM Lee posted photos…

An Unfortunate Run-in with HSBC Advance

June 24, 2017

I would like to say that I don’t know what put me off applying for this card for so long, but honestly, I do. It’s the incredibly convoluted instructions that HSBC attaches with this card.
