Vintage Tiles, Doors and Windows at Ann Siang Hill
There are so many charming architectural features to admire at the Ann Siang Hill area. Would love to work in an office that’s been housed in an old shophouse. Just seems so charming although they are usually not as conveniently … Continue reading

Sri Mariamman Temple at South Bridge Road
I am not sure whether I have ever been inside this Hindu temple, but the carvings always intrigue me. Usually temple artists from India are commissioned to create the sculptures and they are always done by hand. There were several … Continue reading

Little India: Wonderful Chaos & a Riot of Colours
There’s always something to see at Little India. I would definitely recommend that you come here if you’ve never been to Asia and are on a stop-over flight. Just spend an hour walking along the little streets. And bring your … Continue reading

Smith Street, Chinatown: Classic Movies for 8 Dollars
When we were in Chinatown, we parked at the building which has the market and food-court. It’s called Chinatown Complex and I believe they sell the lowest priced original music CDs at the ground level. Just next to this building … Continue reading

Beautiful Architecture: Inside and Out
I’ve been so enthralled by the Architecture of Marina Bay Sands, because not only is it gorgeous on the outside, the inside is so thoughtfully designed as well. I love the curvy lines, arches and natural light that floods in. … Continue reading

From the Car: National Museum of Singapore
I’ve always been impressed by both the external and internal facade of our oldest museum which dates back to 1887. The special photography exhibition that’s going on right now seems interesting.

Another Delicious Nasi Padang Meal at Sabar Menanti
My second visit to Sebar Mananti at Kandahar Street. Sebar Menanti means to wait patiently in Malay, but we didn’t have to wait for very long at all. The green chicken korma and the tempeh with french beans and tofu … Continue reading

Gorgeous Architecture: Marina Bay Sands
There are some buildings in Singapore that are such eyesores and so poorly designed that I wish they would take a cue off the innovative architecture of the Marina Bay Sands. I know I have photographed this building so much … Continue reading

Brunch on the Bridge (TWG at Marina Bay Sands)
TWG might be a tad snooty (still not as atas as PS Cafe), but it’s the place that most women who love high tea, would appreciate. The cutlery and table settings were all just so pretty. The natural light flooding … Continue reading

If you’ve ever played Pet Society on Facebook (used to be addicted to it before I quit cold turkey), you’ll recognize the Dali couch in the form of red lips. It was one of the most expensive and exclusive items … Continue reading

I found the Dali sculptures both beautiful and thought provoking. I definitely have quite a lot of repressed feelings and I probably repressed them, just to survive. I think this is probably true of most people. An interpretation of A … Continue reading

Children Little Museum at Bussorah Street

Fort Canning Park (3 of 3)
It was a total surprise to see art among the lushness. You see I haven’t been here for perhaps more than a year. It could be longer. The killer humidity is the only thing that keeps us away.
