Easter Eggs & Bunnies at Liang Court’s Supermarket
Generally I hate shopping, but I do find browsing for books and checking out groceries relaxing. Not just humdrum groceries, but beautifully packaged stuff that I have never seen before. Love the attention to detail at Liang Court’s Meidi-ya gourmet … Continue reading

I Love Kino
Here’s hoping that the Kino (the bookstore Kinokuniya) never closes down. I particularly love the branch at Liang Court although it has a much smaller selection than the one at Ngee Ann City. The reason why I say this is … Continue reading

Psychopath on Board?
After gorging on laksa, we were strolling around the Alexandra area in an effort to feel less bloated. Nothing much to see. Mostly shops selling tyres and car assessories here. Saw some really weird car signs. Boredom and blogging makes … Continue reading

Beautiful Articulate Bobbi Kristina in an interview with Oprah
I felt so moved by this interview that Oprah had with Bobbi Kristina about the loss of her mum Whitney Houston. It’s pretty hard to watch, but I am blown away by how articulate and strong she is. Lights flickering, … Continue reading

Changi City Point: Food Court
Had a fruit snack at the very bright and airy Changi City Point food court. The watermelon was not very sweet but the honey mango was so good. I like seeing green when I look out the huge glass panels. … Continue reading

Kallang Leisure Park: Yoguru & Awfully Chocolate
Between these two places, I would say go for Yoguru. They advertise their frozen yoghurt to have live cultures which is something that you have to look out for if you want to be healthy. I have heard that some … Continue reading

Funan: Maid Cafe & Laptop Hospital
I’m usually bored stiff at places like Funan, so my interest was piqued when I passed by these two shops I hadn’t seen before. The Maid Cafe was empty when we were walking past it. It’s actually called Cawaii Koohii … Continue reading

The Fat Cat at Jalan Riang
Always find the sky beautiful when it’s threatens to rain hard. This was at Jalan Riang where you’ll find not one but three good places to eat. Tried out Jules and Wimbly Lu and now finally tried The Fat Cat … Continue reading

The Majestically Beautiful Dome of the Old Supreme Court Building
This was taken from Central. I am always impressed by this structure constructed between 1937-1939. So much better than the new Supreme Court Building which looks like a flying saucer and I feel quite an eyesore. Guess I just prefer … Continue reading

I don’t think any legal loan service would be advertised like this. Would they?
Singapore Trees & My Thoughts about Wedding Car Decorations
Ok. Singapore really is a garden city and even though I’ve lived here all my life, I am still impressed by the canopy of trees shading our highways and the pretty palms lined up near the airport. Always fun to … Continue reading

Mustafa: Real Cadbury Chocolate from the UK & Other Snacks
Besides the Value store, Mustafa in Little India is another place where you can get real Cadbury (and by that I mean the Cadbury from the UK which is so much more superior in terms of taste). I wonder how … Continue reading

Uniqlo Replacing Borders at Parkway Parade
Update on 7 April 2012: Ok it’s open now and super crowded – I pass. What I posted earlier: I am not that thrilled about this, but many Uniqlo fans probably are. I think Uniqlo is not bad, especially for … Continue reading

Alexandra Village Hawker Centre: Avacado Juice and Char Siew Rice
Haven’t had my favourite food in the whole world in a long while, which is the former Depot Road Claypot Laksa. It’s now at Alexandra Village. Used to be sold by the parents but I think the business has passed … Continue reading
