The perfect first non-Hello World! post in this blog? Of course the trip I took alone last April. Yes, I went alone because I am a capable woman who can do things without a man by my side. Wait, what? Moving on...

I went to Bintan Lagoon in Indonesia to clear my mind... yeah. That Eat, Pray, Love shit. I was still living and working in Singapore that time and I really needed a break so I decided to take this trip. I needed to reacquaint with myself. It was a bad month for me.

The trip was not as bad as I thought it would be. I spent 2 days walking around the beach, picking sea shells, sleeping by the pool, drinking coffee and reading a book -- typical modern damsel in distress kind of stuff. I was totally disconnected from everyone. I didn't check my mail or any of my social media accounts. It was just me, the pool and the beach. It felt right.
