The first stop for the day is a tea plantation.

The kind people gave us some short, and sweet brief on how tea leaves are harvested and turned into the popular drink we love.

We had to capture the picturesque scenery.

While indulging in the light bites at the cafe.

Did we mention it was no easy feat for the driver to negotiate through the tight bends among traffic?

We then paid a visit to a bee farm.

And a strawberry plantation.

Then onto the local market.

While we didn't get our go at plucking the live ones at the plantation, we couldn't help but to get a pack of fresh, rosy strawberries from the market. All we can say is that they're nothing quite like the ones we have here.

With the day's event drawing to an end, the night began with a group dinner.

blogentry-129174-0-34752100-1404466761_thumb.jpg

There were prizes to be won for all.

It's always interesting to see the usually casual gang turning very serious at the game.

Soon, it was time for a group shot.

Before the grand prize of the night, a Thinkware two-way in-car camera (sponsored by ZMC Automotive Pte. Ltd.) was given out via a lucky draw.

  • A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    The Music that Shaped Me, Pt. 2

    Note: If you’ve stumbled onto this post without any context, do read Pt. 1 here first! It is said that the average person’s music taste starts to solidify early on in their adult lives, and by their early 30s they will begin to say things like “Music was better in my day”, “>insert your favourite artist or genre< is not real music”, something to that effect. Of course, I am speaking generally. With four more years to go till I hit 30, I’d like to think I try to expand my tastes o

    Armored MMA

    Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a brutal sport that, in recent decades, has grown to significant prominence.  Whatever you make of the sport (and the often complicated and sometimes problematic climate that swirls around it), there's no denying its popularity, driven in large part by the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) brand - a multi-billion-dollar global enterprise.  But if partially-clothed men/women beating the s*it out of each other is not quite your thing, may I interest you in
