Hi there! I’m Samantha,

and this space encompasses my personal milestones made beautiful in His time. Combining my flair for easy-to-read writing and my love for photography, here you'll find me sharing the thing I'm most passionate about - travel, food, fashion and my conversations with God.

*P.S when God was blessing others with the gift of height, He left me out realizing that great things come in tiny packages, so instead I am gifted with endless energy and a big wide smile to get through difficult times.

Forever & always, a child of God. Through this cozy little virtual haven, I hope each post inspires at least someone out there with my life stories.

Are you planning your next event?

There’s always something for everyone at Temptations Cakes, let us celebrate your next special event (be it a birthday party, baby's first month, wedding, christmas, you name it!) and create lovely memories with you.

Bloggers' Grand Cruise Night Out! [G+]


Collages41

Sailing on a yacht is something on my bucket list & I've been wanting to go for the longest time ever! Thanks to G+ , Mox Deals & Sponsors like Grand Cruise , I managed to fulfill this little wish of mine. I was out on high seas for 4full hours, around the southern islands of Singapore Coast, passing by some significant landmark islands.

Also, honestly, it was a good way to celebrate graduation as well a good event to catch up with the other G+ members (haven't been able to join due to school, ever since the KL Blog Awards, OMGZ that was last December!). Just imagine that wind swept across my face while chilling on the upper front deck of the yacht. Shiok!

We embarked at Sentosa Cove, One Degree 15 in the evening just before Sunset (ohyay, we managed to catch the sunset on seas, btw!). Without a car, I would say the place is quite inaccessible, yet cabbing in is really expensive. From Vivo, it costed me $14, ohmygod! I suggest shuttle bus *chants*, then again, whoever stays there probably owe one OR MORE cars, so there's no need to...

❤❤❤

It was my first time at Sentosa Cove as well and I was totally checking out those pretty glass houses, hoping to find Prince Charming (ahems) at the windows.

Bye Singapore!

Really, I always pity the person who agree to take group shots for bloggers, because he doesn't know what he's in for!

*P.S We were instructed to remove our shoes before stepping on board the yacht, all of us were quite surprised! Quite cute, guess it makes us feel more 'at home'!

We were getting really comfortable on the seats and trying to keep the wind from messing up our hair so that we could take perfecto camwhoring shots.

Meanwhile, Leanna from Mox Deals, gave us a welcome introduction speech and told us more about the company & some upcoming deals on the site by trusted companies.

Basically, MoxDeals gets bloggers like us, to tryout the deals offered before accepting them on their site. Thus, people on Mox Deals don't have to worry that it's a scam or that the deal bought sucks, because it's been tested and proven by other people! YAY! How nice!

Besides Grand Cruise being one of the sponsors, just to name, we have upcoming deals from Tooth Angels & Co Dental Surgeons, ImpactKTV, School of Paintball, PraeImpact Photography Studios, Shots Asia & Dynamic Fitness

So anyways, what's on a small yacht as such?

You would be surprised!

this is how it looks like...

1) Small cozy cubicle rooms, enough for a mini-sized toilet and for 2 people to sleep on.
I don't mind being in here! ^^

Check out the sun! It's super red!



After the rocky sea journey, we finally docked on an island, all-ready for dinner! The seas where we stopped were apparently suitable for swimming - if you ever book a deal from Grand Cruise, all you have to do is let them know that you and your friends are interested in water sports/swimming and they will make a stop to let you guys do so!

After sunset, the sky turned dark naturally. Soon, we found ourselves in almost pitch darkness. What a joke I swear!

All hail Captain Samantha!


On our way back to shores, we proceeded towards a good view to watch Songs Of The Seas from afar. Managed to catch the waterstunts as well as the awesome fireworks which all of us were waiting for!

all good things come to an end, goodbye.

Envy? Don't be! It's now YOUR turn to enjoy like how we did! What's different is that you make your own awesome memories with your loved ones...

Grand Cruise will be offering a special deal on Mox Deals:

4It's so much more worth it and trust me, it's a once-in-a-lifetime must try experience! It's really therapeutic being on sea because you simply feel worry-free. Either that, or like me, you can stone and think about life and your future...

HOW Mox Deals Works?

Untitled

Current Sponsors:

This is one of the many great deals you can ever find! A perfect deal to seal especially if you are planning for a private party or if you are looking for a short getaway. Relax & Enjoy yourselves at ease! I would recommend taking the evening cruise because it's not so sunny and you get to catch the sunset, like what we managed to do! Oh, not forgetting the spectacular view of fireworks infront of our eyes, and you on the seas (not land, mind you!)
Solve your tooth problems with angels at Tooth Angels! They are a one-stop solution center to all your problems. They basically do everything such as, veneers, crown, root canel, braces, and most importantly, laser tooth whitening! Wanna get your hollywood smile? Wait no longer!

For parties, chalets and special occasion gatherings with our family & friends, it's always good to have music to keep the atmosphere lively. With ImpactKTV, you are able to bring good quality music right to your home. The karaoke machine (which also works as a music jukebox) has already been stored up with the latest song titles of all languages. Oh! What's interesting is that you can RECORD & PLAY BACK your own voice via a USB drive in mp3 format.

I've never played Paintball, but it sure sounds like a messy tough fun fight! Sabo your friends and throw paints at your opponents. Have fun, you only live young once, why not try a game or two!?! Get messy, Get dirty and have lots of fun!

I'm so excited about this deal. I normally do lots of photoshoots and professional photoshoots can be really expensive but worth it. If you are like me, good news! Prae Impact Studios will be having a deal for a professional outdoor shoot for the photographers from the studio.

Dynamic Fitness
Dynamic Fitness specializes in personal training. If you are losing to maintain your bodyshape/weight or thinking of sliming down via the healthy method, this is something you should try!

I love the small packaging it offers! It's so convenient to bring around and for sharing purposes as well. I was told that there was a deal that went as low as $2 for 6 shots. OMGZ! Super worth it!!!
