Hotel Review: Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur

As I travel quite often for work, I’m going to keep a record of all the hotels I’ve stayed in, to serve as a reminder of what works and what doesn’t. It’ll make future bookings much easier.

Location: Connected right to the KL Sentral main station, with easy access to the KLIA. There's a NU Sentral mall on the other side of the station.

Room:  It's modern and tastefully decorated like most Le Meridiens. The bed is really comfortable and offers great back support.  I really like the chair near the window as it's like a reading corner that overlooks the mountains and expressway.  The room gives me a sense of tranquility, which is great after a long work day.



Breakfast: The spread is massive!  The food is comparable to the Athenee Bangkok standards but the spread is much much wider.  I can eat here all morning, and then hit gym/pool all afternoon.


Gym:  This gym is massive!  Have you seen 2 sets of everything in a hotel gym before?  I think there are also enough ellipticals to hold a class.  You can spend hours here... then jump into the pool.

Pool:  Is long and windy and beautiful. Enough said.

Will I return? A definite yes. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Hotel Review: Novotel Halong Bay

As I travel quite often for work, I’m going to keep a record of all the hotels I’ve stayed in, to serve as a reminder of what works and what doesn’t. It’ll make future bookings much easier. Unfortunately there was no SPG/Marriott hotel in Halong Bay area, so i ended up with Novotel. Location: Along the western side of Halong, right across some ongoing construction. Room: Decor is dark wooden, taking a spin on modern Chinese. Wood flooring and a huge king size bed that's abit hard and uncomfortable. I like the decor though. Gym: This has got to be the saddest hotel gym i've ever seen. I decided to run outside instead. Breakfast: The selection is so limited, and it's not even that good. Nice decor though. Would I return? Definitely not to this 4 star hotel. Thankfully I was only here for 1 night. Although the place is filled with Korean tourists, you can eat some basic Korean breakfast here, but that's not my preference.

Your circle of friends

I group my friends into 3 categories. Family: Those who are dearest to your heart.  They will always come first. True friends:  Those who you can always count on, no matter the distance or the time spent apart.  They will always be there for you, to lend a listening ear, to share your feelings, to guide you through life.  They may have different interests and lifestyles, but you share an unbreakable bond. Lifestyle friends: People whom you hang out with for certain type of activities, and discussions and banter will be limited to those activities.  Conversations will probably center around your common activities.  Lifestyles change, hence this group of friends will also change. When you're dead, people won't remember you.  Celebrate people's presence when they're alive.  Appreciate them and spend time with them.  There's no point in throwing a bigass funeral to commemorate a life. It's over anyway.  You should had made your ...

I increased my term + accident insurance policy with Aviva

I recently maxed out the SAF Aviva group term insurance on both term life plan for $1M and accident plans for $600k, which costs me $47.42 and $77.37 per month respectively. This is on top of my existing  whole life plans . I did this to ensure adequate insurance coverage in times of need. The only downside of this is that Aviva pays out a maximum of $20M per event, and it's prorated accordingly, so don't bet your house on this and have some other backup. Term covers up to age 65-70 (your income generating years), and whole life covers your whole life (including your retirement years). In general whole life plans are alot more expensive per $ of coverage, compared to term plans, so you have to utilize both to get adequate coverage at a reasonable cost. In Singapore where voluntary death isn't an option, it could really bankrupt a family. Some say to purchase a $1M term plan that covers you up to age 99. That means you can't live past 99, but such plans are...
