Singapore Ooh "Lah Lah"

This small island country is definitely worthy of emulation.  Consistently rated one of the least corrupt countries in the world and with a low crime rate, its cleanliness - both literally and figuratively, is bordering on aseptic.  Definitely one of most livable cities in SEA.
Little India is a must visit when in Singapore.  This place has so much color, character and chaos albeit organized.  It is also home to the only 24-hour mall (i think) in Singapore.
Home of the original Singapore Sling

Universal Studios Singapore is for the young at heart too...

Nina with the iconic Sikh doorman at The Raffles.  He obviously wasn't in the mood for pleasantries during the shoot.
Never miss the opportunity to capture something colorful with your camera

Her Name Was Kota (Kinabalu)

Sabah Tea Plantation in the foothills of Mount Kinabalu
Conveniently located in front of Warisan Square
Definitely not from the 5-star chain.

You Say Malacca, I Say Melaka



Possibly Malacca's most famous landmark and the oldest Protestant Church in Malaysia.




Jonker Street during daytime.  Malacca's most happening strip.

The Courtyard@Heeren.  Quaint and nice but the acoustics in their rooms need a little improvement.

Lobby of the hotel.


We read in travel guides that their Chicken Rice Ball is a must try.  I don't get it.  Somehow the idea of rice rolled into a ball (possibly by hand) doesn't seem very appealing to me.

I love this drink! 

If only pedicabs in the Philippines were like these...

Influenced by the Portugese and Dutch, Malacca was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2008.
