		<description><![CDATA[It was my first ever Chinese New Year outside of Singapore. Considerable  numbers have escaped hectic Singapore during this particular festive  season for different reasons.

Free and easy
Free and easy is not always free and easy. Especially when you do not have a plan and want to play by ear, but the host has a firm plan for every day. So it was that what we thought would be a no-fuss restful holiday(both for us and for the host, my [...]]]></description>

Blessed with a severe beauty
Western Australia is vast and flat, blue and cool. It is greatly blessed by God with a natural beauty. A rather severe kind: the dryness, the short trees, easily broken branches, insipid green leaves, wiry shrubs and bushes and sand, lots of sand. These form the dull backdrop for a hundred [...]]]></description>

The 1960s feel
It was like going back to the 1960s when Singapore was less crowded with buildings, cars and people. Most houses and buildings in Kuching were not more than 4 storeys and were well spread out. The streets were conspicuously clean and they still have roundabouts. Modern tall hotels and commercial buildings with gleaming [...]]]></description>

It was an old photo hanging on the wall of my uncle&#8217;s house that caught my attention. Interested as I was with my earthly roots, I took a few shots with my mobile. It was my maternal grandparents&#8217; wedding photograph. They looked forward, stiff and formal &#8211; the common pose in those days. [...]]]></description>

Normally, I would take a coach to the Cameron Highlands. For a change, and at Kim Eng&#8217;s suggestion, my wife and I  booked online the sleeper &#8220;malam&#8221; train of the KTM (Malaysian railway). The last time I took it, I was going to the same place: Gua Musang in the southern [...]]]></description>

Off the east coast of peninsula Malaysia, are several beautiful islands, the largest of which is Pulau Tioman. I was blessed to be hosted by Roland Ng, and my daughter accompanied me on this escape from  Singapore. Sorry, did I make it sound like Singapore is a penal colony. The long weekend was a continuation [...]]]></description>
