Koh Phangan, Thailand
Jan 2012
Bought an underwater case for my iphone. Took a photo and uploaded unto the net via 3G (all underwater). Kinda amazing.
Was shocked to learn that an additional morgue opens every full moon as approximately 20 people die on that night. Every month. Insane.

Four Seasons Hotel, Hong Kong
Jan 2012
Decided to try the only 3 star Michellin Chinese restaurant in the world.
Abalone puff? Checked.

Koh Tao, Thailand
Feb 2012
The island that issues the highest amount of dive license.
Nuf’ said.
ITI private plane, somewhere over Palawan Phillippines
Dec 2011
Getting to El Nido Resorts was not the easiest journey, which involves chartering a small plane. But look at the views! Totally worth the hassle.
Ritz Carlton, Hong Kong
Nov 2011
Who fancies a drink at the open air bar in the tallest hotel in the world?
Me.
How about you?
Lake Taal, Manila, Phillippines
Sept 2011
The most spectacular views of the Lake within the crater of an active volcano can be seen from the Starbucks.
W Retreat, Bo Phut, Koh Samui
Feb 2012
The coolest funkiest resort in town.
They even have a fridge in common areas serving free flow of Haagen Daz ice cream.
Yums.
Random store, Hong Kong
Feb 2012
Really like the Western area of Hong Kong Island.
This omega watch is pre- WWI, which means it is really really old (and really really nice)
Drools.
Helipad, Swissotel, Singapore
December 2011
There were at least 1,000 people on the top of Swissotel, which was once the tallest hotel in the world. The view was spectacular, but more amazing is the fact that no drunk person fell off the building that night.
The Library, Koh Samui
Feb 2012
The Library. Not a library, but a hotel.
Lobby? Nah…. It’s called Content Page.
And yes you belong to Page 23, that suite down the pathway.
Isn’t the pool lovely. Red tiles, not red water, does the trick.
Bohol, Tagbilaran City, Phillippines
Sept 2011
Decided to visit our friend’s resort in Bohol.
Went to see the famous Tarsier monkies and Chocolate Hills.
We thought they kinda looked like poop. Oops!
Koh Samui, Thailand
Jan 2012
Rented a car from AVIS and drove around the whole island exploring all the hidden nooks. Even explored Chaweng beach (the Patong or Kuta equivalent) by driving at 5km/h along the kerb :P
Home, Singapore
October 2011
Flew home for 30 hours to celebrate my birthday with the family.
Please meet the latest edition to the family, Aros Tan.
The Upper House, Hong Kong
July 2011
The most lovely hotel in town. Sip a coffee at Cafe Gray overlooking Victoria Habour. Alternatively, hop down to the open patio that is the closest one can get to being in a ‘secret garden’.
Sanya, Hainan Province, China
Feb 2012
Driving into the Mandarin Oriental Resort, one would pass by couples taking their wedding photos along the picturesque beach.
