    The Taaras Beach & Spa Resort- Pulau Redang

    September 8, 2024

    Last year we decided to ‘treat yo self’ and stay at The Taaras Beach & Spa Resort which is a secluded getaway located on the beautiful Island of Redang, off the east coast Peninsular Malaysia. Redang Island is how you envision a tropical island to be with its white sandy beach, palm trees, pristine water with an…

A family trip to Tangkahan, North Sumatra 🇮🇩 A family trip to Tangkahan, North Sumatra 🇮🇩

A beautiful blend of early mornings, nature walks, hot drinks, hiking, bathing elephants, tubing down the river rapids, cosy scrabble nights, colourful lunches set by stunning waterfalls, wading through the river while hoping the strong currents won’t carry us away. 

We laughed a lot and cheered each other on; despite shoes falling apart, battered feet and mosquito bites for days, we were blessed to have the most gracious, kind, and occasionally funny tour guides, along with incredible cooks... it was a culinary experience, the food was Banging!!!

It was a dream coming here and one I didn’t want to wake up from. I have now visited Gili Trawangan, Gili Air & Gili Gede, and I was at significantly different stages in my life on each Island.

🇮🇩 Gili Gede: for simplicity, peace, nature, a go where the mood takes you type of vacay.

Side note: if my Fijian aunties saw me weaving (slide 4), they would fall off their chairs…literally!!!

“Another first from Singapore was catching the F “Another first from Singapore was catching the Frida Kahlo - The Life of An Icon exhibition. I know it has become a thing, but I do enjoy immersive exhibitions, particularly this one with all the vibrant colours and the way her life story is conveyed throughout each room; we thoroughly enjoyed this exhibit, and It was just fascinating to learn more about her, her life from a young age to adulthood, although her life was filled with tragedy and pain, her resilience and the beauty she created from that is what transcends.” - 

excerpt from my last Substack 📧 June Round-Up https://open.substack.com/pub/atwistofcreate/p/june-round-up?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Although I have felt disillusioned by this platform of late, following a not-so-great week, I did come across this beautiful poem on here by Warsan Shire ♥️

“The sun is perfect and you woke this morning. You have enough language in your mouth to be understood. You have a name, and someone wants to call it. Five fingers on your hand and someone wants to hold it. If we just start there, every beautiful thing that has and will ever exist is possible. If we start there, everything, for a moment, is right in the world.”
