June 20, 2022 by Teh Chin Liang4 Comments

My worn slippers scuffed against the rock-strewn path, crunching gravel and pebbles underneath the thin sole. The peak of Mount Kinabalu was clearly visible miles ahead of me.

Isn’t it Time you Treated Yourself to one of These? A Caribbean Cruise with Celebrity Cruises

February 1, 2022 by Dave2 Comments

A gentle breeze blows, not even strong enough to knock over a nearby empty can of ginger beer. I lie alone floating face up in a hot tub on the upper deck in the middle of the Caribbean ocean cruising on a 10-night tour of the Eastern Caribbean on Celebrity Cruises Millennium watching wispy clouds float by; I realize that I have not reached a blissful state of relaxation like this in nearly the past two years.

Boyd McCleary, Former Governor of the British Virgin Islands

December 1, 2021 by Teh Chin Liang6 Comments

Boyd was the British High Commissioner to Malaysia when I worked as Contact Database Officer at the High Commissioner Kuala Lumpur in 2009. Despite his high- profile status and prominent role, there was never a barrier between him and the rest of the staff.  He is a highly charismatic leader with a fun-loving sense of humor. He always dropped by our office and chatted us up, and the conversation always ended with a good hearty laugh. … [Read more...]

The Utopia in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean – Interview with Shirley Squibb, Deputy Head of the Tourism Department of Tristan da Cunha

September 3, 2021 by Teh Chin LiangLeave a Comment

Surrounded by rough seas and untouched wilderness, coupled with unpredictable weather conditions, Tristan was founded by a Portuguese admiral named Admiral Tristao da Cunha in 1506.  Edinburgh of the Seven Seas is the main village in Tristan where all … [Read more...]
