Its funny that I've been looking forward to this break for months, yet when it is just about to happen, I realised that I will miss my family, friends and colleagues.Having said that, it was a frantic rush last week to source for last minute travel items, secure the visa, purchase the correct air-tickets and work on the heritage industry conference. Thank god everything went …

Flying at a maximum height of 180m (48 storeys), it was the only platform for us to rise high into the sky and see the breathtaking view of Singapore before the Flyer came along! Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. When I visited the DHL Balloon last week, we were told that the Balloon will be closed after …
