As the withstanding tradition to share random updates with you while I am in the airport, I feel compelled to whip up a half-baked blog post filled with things that might not interest you at all, but let’s also ignore the possibility of that.
Many things happened in January: I celebrated the new year in Sydney, had a heart-to-heart with Jik, passed IELTS, took and passed the Law exam (answered a few questions purely based on the information I retained from watching Law & Order: SVU marathon), signed a contract, went and half succeeded on a diet, laughed every day, wrote 2016 goals, bought passion planner together with Che, watched the first episode of the new The X-Files together with the whole world *I presumed* and discovered new blogs I like.
Regarding the blogs I have recently liked, check out: Adventures Around Asia, whose niche is China and Friends in Ramen, whose niche is, yes, you have guessed it correctly, Ramen in Osaka. You guys, I take back when I said I don’t care about the niche of this blog. I want a niche. A niche is fun and focused; it’s an aim, a compass and can be the objective of me to keep writing on the blog. That being said, I stand by my decision not to keep an on-shelf travel blog. What’s my niche? I am still unsure, but I will keep writing and experimenting until I figure it out. Stay with me throughout the journey, will you?
Alright now, enough with the crazy — I loved January. Still, I have been looking forward to February a lot since it means LOVE is in the air, more travels, Valentine’s day celebration, execution of mine and Che’s top-secret random act of kindness plan, annual bonus (so that I can get a new phone since my phone has been borrowed indefinitely by Appa, whose birthday is also in this month) and a big move.
In short, February is going to be fabulous, people. I hope yours is too!
I am off to celebrate the Chinese New Year in Singapore with my cousins. We are flying with Singapore Airlines, which we managed to score on a promo price a couple of weeks ago (during Lunar New Year some more!) — I am super excited about spending some quality time with the cousins since it’s my first girls-only vacation since 2014 and first Chinese New Year celebration since err.. 2012?! Oh man, time flies. Never*.
I also have too much free time over the weekend since my best friends are back in their hometown to celebrate the new year, which, other than drinking a copious amount of KOI bubble tea, I am not sure what to do with. Any suggestion, Singaporean friends?

I always thought Thannisaar was a made-up name for the veg curry adopted by the Indian community in Indonesia-apparently not!
