Salzburg, Austria, 11 Oct 2025

Salzburg is a small beautiful city where Mozart was born. Everything in this city is about music. The vibe of the city is really good.

I went to the Mirabell Garden, Salzburg castle, and few churches.

Nuremberg, Germany, 16-17 Oct 2025

This is a small town in Germany, near Munich. I think for a small town, there were so many things to see here. Churches, castle, etc.

The trees are vibrant during Oct as the beginning of autumn. Temperature also was not so cold. Just nice. 9-12 deg.

I had a nice dinner. Pork belly with crispy skin.

Changing AirCon

Last week, my aircon suddenly didn’t work. We could turned on the aircon, but it just didn’t blow cold air. After a while, it turned off itself and the orange light keep blinking.

Actually few different aircon technicians told me it’s time to change the aircon. However, as long as it still worked, why need to change? So I maximised the life span of this aircon. So in total, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries lasted 15 years +.

I called the aircon technician, they recommended to change the motherboard of the outdoor unit, costed me $120, plus checking fee $40. It still didn’t work. So $160 gone.

I quickly went to the shop to browse my options, including Prism+. However I feel that the way Prism+ bundle their package with the service, it seems want to eat me. Some more their product is not proven reliable in the market.

Earliest installation was 1 week later. So we have to bear sleeping without AC for another 1 week. Luckily October is already cooling. So this 1 week is still bearable.

I ended up buying LG system 3. The design of the indoor unit is very modern and nice. I hope it will last around the same lifespan.

Padang Trip, June 2025

I never thought that I would go to Padang. Never crossed my mind at all. I went there with Tywie and Christine. I think this was a good trip to experience different things.

Our flight from Singapore was delayed for 5 hours. We got meal voucher, which we used it at Burger King. Then we arrived at Padang quite late. Quickly took shower and slept. 

The next morning we went to Bukit Tinggi. On the way there, we ate lunch at Sate Padang Mak Syukur and stopped to take picture at one of the waterfall. It was very nice. Then we continued the journey till we reached the Museum and the jam gadang. 

The museum was actually the best rumah gadang I have seen. It was a good view to take picture in any angle.

We also visited Lubang Jepang. It was a massive tunnel built by Japanese during world war 2. However, the guide said it was never been used by them. It still looks new. When we were inside the tunnel, there was some part I felt goosebumps. I quickly reached my friend’s arm. After that, we talked in the car, she also felt that there was something.

I also ate the nicest beef rendang in my life. It was at Lamun Ombak. It was so thick and rich. 

Overall, Padang is an underrated tourism destination. I seldom see tourist in Padang. But seriously it was good for culinary, sight seeing and culture eye opening. The trip was also not expensive in terms of budget. Total each of us spent less than $800 SGD for 4 days. Our ticket was $110 from Singapore.

Hajun, Korean Food

My favorite korean stall for lunch is Hajun, especially their beef hotplate and their saba fish.

Genki Sushi @VivoCity

It's Sunday dinner when we were shopping at VivoCity.
