Singapore - Company of Cats - Chinatown

You might have seen my previous post on Neko no Niwa. Being rather adventurous, I explored another cat cafe with my cat-loving friends. I just love cat paws. They're so squishy and being hugged by a cat is just... such a bliss ^3^ ~♪ This pretty ragdoll (if I get the breed correctly) is a resident of The Company of Cats in Chinatown. We went on Wednesday after work, since there is a 50% off on the 2nd entrance fee. Again, the place...

Singapore - Neko no Niwa (Cat Cafe) - Clarke Quay

My dear Latino friends (you know who you are) recommended me to adopt a pet for pet therapy, but I was not able to own one in my previous apartment in Switzerland as the management did not allow pets. The current landlady in Singapore loves cats and allows me to own a cat, but I'm not too sure if I can take care of it since I know I'll be flying back to my hometown rather frequently. Thankfully, there are cat cafes in Singapore! My first...

2016 - LOL

I'm not sure if my blog is still linked to Facebook. So a while ago I logged out of Facebook. I can't tell the reason, but it's for multiple good reasons. For sure, one is for the revival of this blog, which I have taken a great care of for years. Which has something to do with a secret project that I'm going to be involved at. Yes, I received a rule that I have to keep my mouth (or my fingers?) shut, so I'm going to comply with that. Don't worry,...

Switzerland - Chocolate, Cheese and Castle Day Trip

This is a short guide on how to enjoy the world-renown Swiss milk chocolate, the characteristic Gruyere cheese and a time-travel back to the Medieval age in one day. Departing from Vevey, my friend and I took the train to Broc, which is the center point between Vevey and Bern, the capital of Switzerland. Maison Cailler, the factory where Cailler chocolate is currently produced, hosts a chocolate museum where you can learn about the history...

Switzerland - Vevey - Fun Fondue Place

Think Switzerland; think cheese fondue. I began my life in Vevey, Switzerland in August 2014 - summer. The first thing I want to eat is cheese fondue, but no one really eats cheese fondue in summer. The best time to eat fondue is indeed during winter :P There are several cheese fondue restaurants in Vevey, but this restaurant is rather unique: des Trois Siflettes (or 3 Siflettes, as the restaurant sign says). As an outsider, I cannot comment...

2015: Switch On!

Once again, another year has passed. Like everyone else's, 2014 was full of ups and downs, and in my case, they were rather extreme. It was a surprisingly tough year, but I survived and I am looking forward to more exciting things this year. I won't say goodbye to 2014 because it's a very important year and there were way too many unforgettable events worth keeping in heart and mind until I become a senile, old woman. Probably with some cats around...

[Slice of Life] - About Grieving

I was attending a 3-day workshop about performing a training and at the end of it, the facilitator told us to complement another participant, and I was told, "I did not know what you were going to talk about, but when I saw you smiled, I felt like I wanted to follow whatever it is you are going to talk about. You smile all the time, keep it up." To me, this came as a surprise. It has been two weeks since my dad's passing, and I had left Indonesia for Switzerland to resume working. The first three days after his passing was a terrible ordeal....
