This is my first travel blog after more than two years (between 2021 and 2022, I also had international travels (Middle East) but I am planning to compile them into one blog post). This is also my first article for T.E.L.L. (Travel. Entertainment. Lifestyle. Leisure.) section, a spin-off of The Solo Drifter – I am …
If you are following VoicePoints and my blogs, you would have read an open letter to my mid-20 self, which I published last 31 December 2019. I revealed that I was in a mid-life crisis. I wasn’t sure where would life bring me. I didn’t know what direction to take. More than two months later, …

The past decade changed the way I see life in a different perspective so here’s a message to my mid-20 self. Really, it was a decade of challenges, pursuits, failures, mistakes and victories. Dear mid-20 self, I know life has been tough, but you have done a good job, you did not give up. Love …
Last stop of my third #SEAtour is one of the islands of Indonesia, Bintan! With one hour time difference with Singapore, Bintan is just 45-50-minute trip by motorised catamaran. At 7 a.m., left Orchard Hotel to catch ferry trip to Bintan Lagoon Resort in Tanah Merah. Still the same, immigration process in Tanah Merah is …
