The “Japan Discount King” Don Don Donki opened its doors in Tanjong Pagar last week. It’s near the office… so it’s a new hangout place I guess? Lol. To buy stuff that I likely don’t need.
My eyes just wander.

Hello again, Saigon!
Rushed to Changi Airport earlier to catch VN 654 to Ho Chi Minh City!
It’s the first time I got to use Terminal 4 (and not just visit it for a tour…)
It’s also the first time I flew on Vietnam Airlines.
My family flies in tomorrow morning from Manila. This is the first time I booked the family at a hostel. We’ve done hotels in Bangkok and Singapore. Serviced Residences in Kuala Lumpur. So HCMC will be a hostel. But we have our own “family room”.

Here’s me saying HELLO!
