I guess it would be nice to get a few things off my chest. After all, this is a personal blog (sniffle). After cancelling the au pair agreement to Finland, I decided to venture out into the German speaking countries, in hopes of having a look at the job market here. NOT THAT I CANT find a job in KL, I am simply looking out for a

Forest Bathing on Hiking Trips

Image
I really miss hiking! Hiking is a form of meditation for me, escaping the noise of society into a calm natural setting. With every step I take, I rejoice in the beauty of the universe's creations. Forest bathing, a term I wasn't aware of until I began my hike routines, is a process that heals the body. I stand by this concept as there were many times I would feel chaotic or low on energy and would find instant relief with a short hiking trip. Beautiful moss in the forest Leaves in autumn make for crunchier footsteps Always love reaching the apex, proof of a good day's workout I've always found fogs the most gorgeous/mysterious of all of the universe's creation Seeing farm animals intrigues me as a city girl Magnolia trees in spring create an awesome backdrop in the middle of town

Bustling in Bangkok

Image
Having travelled all over the world, I'm embarrassed to admit that I have not had the chance to visit my own neighbour, Thailand until I was 33. Come International Muay Thai Day in Bangkok, I decided to catch the "Muay Thai Live: The Legend Live" show at the Asiatique Bangkok arena in early 2019.

Lots of somersaults, fight simulation and high jumps were incorporated in the theatrics of the performance.

The competitors were mostly teenagers, defending their provinces. Staying in Lumpinee, I got around with the help of Grab motorbikes- yep, they have Grab (e-hailing service in Southeast...

Jolly Gaisberg

Aerial View  This is probably the second time I have been up to Gaisberg in three months. This mountain on the east of Salzburg is definitely one of the most favourite sporting areas for paragliders, mountain climbers, mountain bikers and other winter sports. Each time we were up there we noticed many paragliders, bracing through cold Alpine wind and temperature to reach their maximum thrill in the heights of this beautiful range of mountains. We went altogether around six people who were just as crazy as the the Salzburg rain. The weather was amazing as blue skies served as the mountain backdrop with the sun shining at our faces. This provided temporal warmth in the midst of minus zero degrees. The scenery includes a not-so-attractive giant antenna building at the top of the hill but the view below the hills was absolutely amazing. The valleys and tiny spots of village life is somewhat the most rewarding prize of the entire hike. Our friend h...
