Snuffles and I flew with Singapore Airlines three times :
2) Business class from Singapore to Paris in June 2022
3) Suites from London to Singapore in August 2023 
Snuffles and I went to Tromso with the sole aim of catching the elusive Northern Lights/Aurora Borealis. We were too early for other winter activities such as dog-sledding or whale watching which was quite sad, but I guess we just wanted to make sure that we caught the lights! We were there 1-4 October 2022. It took me awhile to find a dog-friendly company that will accept Snuffles on the almost 10-hour tour.

Maison Astor might just be the best dog-friendly hotel that I’ve
stayed in on my entire 6 month holiday in Europe. Built by John Jacob
Astor IV, the 4 Star Curio Collection by Hilton property has an
impressively rich history which dates back to 1907. Housing rooms in 9
categories, and suites in 4, the opulent Maison Astor is located on a
quiet and safe street in the heart of Paris(8th arrondissement) between
the Opera and Champs-Elysees. The magnificent hotel is the perfect base
to explore popular attractions and visit luxury shopping streets
such as Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Whether you're on a romantic
honeymoon, or a relaxing vacation with your family and pup, Maison Astor
promises a marvelous stay that you will remember for a long time to
come.
Inspired by The Humble Crumble in London, Maltby Crumble Bar is my latest venture! It's essentially an extension of my ice cream and cookie brand, Twice Young. When I was living in London, I visited The Humble Crumble in Borough Market a few times. I loved the concept, and how you can dress up your crumble however you like — with custard, drizzles, and a variety of toppings. I starting working on this concept when I returned from my 13.5 month vacation in Europe and the UK with my dog, Snuffles, and tested it at Baker X at Orchard Central in December 2023.
I decided to name the concept Maltby, because we were actually living near Maltby Street in London, and I loved the area! Also, my dog is a Maltese and one of our favourite countries on our trip was Malta! It just seemed very apt, and the name sounds cute too haha
I spent a few months perfecting the recipes for both the stewed apples, and French butter crumble. It's sad that we can't get Bramley apples here, so we are using Granny Smith apples. For now, we only have apple crumble, but we are thinking of creating a berry crumble and a banana one in the future. At Maltby Crumble Bar, you can jazz up your apple crumble with ice cream, custard, drizzles and a myriad of sprinkles such as chocolate crunchy pearls and wildflowers.
Twice Young's signature ice cream flavours will be available on rotation, and our signature brown butter cookies, that we have sold tens of thousands of, will be available as well.
Maltby Crumble Bar is currently taking residency at Pinhole Coffeebar at 27 Purvis Street, #01-02, until the end of March
For exact opening hours, please visit Maltby's instagram page : https://www.instagram.com/maltbycrumblebar

(UPDATED) 24 November 2023
I first contacted Axi(www.axi.com) via email on 14 November about the erroneous external price adjustments which happened on 13 November. Their promise is that they will "get back with a reply within maximum 24 hours". They did respond to me but with a reply that did not address my queries. I then replied them, and also called in, and also chatted with an agent via live chat. Live chat and call agent said they would get Prince, the agent who replied my email, to get back to me. I did not receive any replies or responses at all until I received an email on 23 November. That's definitely way more than 24 hours.
I had basically asked for my open trades to be reinstated or for a portion of my balance to be returned to me because had the error not occurred, my open trades even with a floating P/L of -$70000 would still be open, and the market had moved according to what I was waiting for (XAUUSD to go up) right after, and hence, I would have recovered a huge chunk of my equity (probably 50-60k by 17 Nov).
This is what they sent me : "We were also advised that we can no longer reinstate the trades, days after the adjustments have been made as significant market movement have already taken place after the CPI release."
WOW, of course, you took 8 days to reply me, AFTER the CPI release, and say this.
CAPASSO is the new kid in the Telok Ayer/Amoy area which is already home to countless restaurants and bars. Helmed by Chef Fernando Arevalo, a familiar name in the local food scene, CAPASSO is a fearless and bold outfit that pushes out contemporary Italian dishes inspired by memories of Chef Fernando's granddad. The restaurant, which also boasts an extensive selection of wines, whiskies, and yummy cocktails, strives to provide an equal space where women can explore and enjoy whiskies alongside their male counterparts. I love that CAPASSO understands and values the tastes of ladies, and is here to smash the stereotype of whiskies being a drink more suited to the palate of men. Hurray to that!

Londoners with a penchant for the finer things in life will definitely
have been to, or at least have heard of The Ledbury in Nottinghill. The
brainchild of famous restaurateurs Brett
Graham, Phil Howard and Nigel Platts-Martin have held on to the
two-Michelin-star accolade for years before they shut their doors during
the pandemic. They reopened to much fanfare, with tables booked up in a
jiffy. I was in the UK for 7.5 months and I heard of The Ledbury from a
friend who has been in the UK for 11 years. He told me he had the best
meal of his life at The Ledbury back in 2015. I was really excited when I
managed to get a reservation. Because I was dining alone, and plenty of
Michelin-starred restaurants do not take lone diners, I was pretty
certain that I wouldn't be able to give myself a birthday treat here. I
decided to try my luck and I sent in an email to the team, and
thankfully, they welcomed me with open arms!
Sicily
is one of the most beautiful places that I've ever been to. Even though
I only had just over a week to spend here, and it was a mad rush
visiting 4 different cities, I was really glad that I added it to my
itinerary. Sicily is, no doubt, one of, if not the most dog-friendly
places in Europe. Sure, Germany. France and Switzerland are incredibly
dog-friendly but our four-legged babies aren't allowed in supermarkets.
In Sicily, the supermarkets even have trolleys with a designated area
for your pups to sit in. I was so amazed and impressed! I love that the
people here love dogs! Here are the four dog-friendly hotels or bed and
breakfast that we stayed at :
