New Zealand has always been on my bucket list - specifically, the South Island, for its lakeside views, mountain peaks, and rich wildlife. As someone who loves the tranquility of nature, the South Island is like heaven on earth. As a type-A traveller, I took pride in mapping out my near-two week holiday with my mum and husband in tow. True to my style, I created a Google Sheet so detailed it could rival the planning for NDP (LOL).

Thaipusam is a sacred Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Murugan, the deity of courage, power, and virtue. Celebrated by Tamil Hindus, it marks the day when Goddess Parvati gifted Murugan a divine vel (spear), to vanquish evil. Devotees express gratitude and seek blessings through acts of devotion, such as carrying kavadis (ornate structures) or milk pots as offerings. In 2025, Thaipusam falls on 11 Feb, bringing vibrant processions and heartfelt prayers to the streets of Singapore.

While snakes often get a bad rap, there’s a lot to admire about these slinky reptiles. They’re smart, strategic, and smooth – qualities that, if used wisely, can actually make you a better person. In fact, the Paradise Tree Snake, a species found in Singapore, doesn’t just slither – it flies (well, technically, it glides). Before launching itself from tree to tree, it carefully calculates the distance, adjusts and flattens its body shape mid-air, and lands with precision.
