In this round, all the artists are left on their own, allowing them to freely expressing themselves on the theme of “Balance”. All the artists picked out [...]
The Tiger Translate artists all got together again on Wednesday for another day of collaboration. In this round, they all got together to paint and decorate the inside of Ger (well, at least half of it). This is the 2nd part of a series of 3 challenges. They got to do it any way they [...]

KISS was born from a relentless desire to offer a unique experience, away from the cookie cutter designs (like half of the soulless hotels we know in Bali), for discerning jetsetters escaping to this island.

I’m back from my five-day business-cum-leisure trip in Ho Chinh Minh City, Vietnam. I loved her then, I love her even more now. More to come, as soon as I’m done clearing my mountain of emails tomorrow. Meanwhile, check out this funny looking mutt I spotted at Bui Vien.

Resting comfortably at the cultural crossroad since the 1920s, gazing serenely across the Malacca River, the Majestic Malacca felt like home from the first foot into the lobby.

In this small town that was once occupied by the world’s major colonial powers, The Majestic Malacca rests peacefully on the banks of the Malacca River. With 54 exquisitely designed guestrooms, the hotel integrates the richness of her Peranakan history with the luxury of the Present.
I need to stop making trips where I spend more time in the air than I do on land. Alright, I’m exaggerating in the instance of my recent trip this week to Hong Kong for Asia PR Awards 2009, but still, I wish I could spend a long time in this beautiful urban jungle.
