Reflections 2017

What a year. Was just browsing through facebook and realised that so many people around me (of same age) are doing very very well. JPS nurtured so many talents! I'm proud of them of course, but looking at myself... it makes me feel so tiny and puny. I've been dormant for so long; it's time to awaken.

Spa Wellness Retreat @ Museflower Chiang Rai 4-9 Jun 2017

I'm back. Feels rejuvenated and that my body is lighter than before. I signed up for the spa wellness retreat and the daily itinerary is: morning wellness activity which can be yoga or stretching etc, breakfast, daily massage and steam session, lunch, afternoon wellness activity which can be yoga or cooking demo and followed by dinner. Museflower is a resort that is close to nature and you can hear the birds chirp or insects call at all times of the day. The weather was very hot when I was there. When I was there, it was non-peak period and there was only another Singaporean apart from me. As such, I felt that the services such as the meals and exercise sessions were very personalised. It was a good getaway. The 6 hour flight which I thought was long turned out to be quite ok. Flew by Airasia and the 2hr transit in Bangkok DMK airport was just nice, I didnt have to wait too long for the next flight. Airport was a bit chaotic though. The cooking session was very fun and the other interesting or intriquing activity was the energy healing session by Laeticia (from Switzerland). I was in the resort during my entire stay and did not venture out into the city. The swimming pool was also interesting in that it was himalayan salt pool (they use himalayan salt instead of chlorine). The meals served were vegetarian and they use himalayan salt and no MSG. The vegetables were self-grown in their organic farm.

3 Jun 2017 - In Need of a Break

It's been so long since I wrote. I didn't update my recent trip to Taiwan with my mum and sis in Apr. It was a very relaxing and fun trip. We booked a cab and travelled around Taichung, Tainan, Alishan and Cingjing. It was more expensive but worth it - comfortable and the driver Niao ge helped us to book the accomodation and settled the itinerary as well. We didnt have to do any planning or thinking. Will be going for a wellness retreat at Museflower Chiang Rai tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the break...
