Gamla Stan: Quaint Old Town in Stockholm
Another of my favourite places in Stockholm was Gamla Stan which means Old Town. It was just a subway ride away from our hotel so it was the very first area we explored and also said to be a must … Continue reading
Christmas Decorations in Stockholm & Helsinki
I found the Christmas decorations in Stockholm and Helsinki absolutely charming. Christmas felt more magical and less commercial. Real Christmas trees rather than artifical ones was one huge factor. Decorations were tasteful and not gaudy like it can be in … Continue reading
Christmas Lights at Somerset 313
Seen some gaudy Christmas decorations, but at least these colours are quite pretty. Still, Christmas in Singapore is very, extremely commercialized.

Christmas Treats At Gourmet Cold Storage
I like to browse the selection at the Gourmet Cold Storage at Bukit Timah. They are already stocked for Christmas. Not exactly for Christmas but I found this drink interesting. Never had it before.

Christmas Goodies at Marks and Spenser
I still refer to Marks and Spenser by it’s old name – St Michael’s. I just can’t seem to switch. I think they do the best chocolates and biscuits, and at a reasonable price too. This musical box would make … Continue reading

Christmas at Marina Bay Sands
Silver Reindeer spotted at Robinsons department store. Christmas comes early in Singapore, but I don’t mind. I would love to listen to Christmas songs for more than just a month.

Swedish Christmas at Ikea
Have always loved the Christmas displays and products at Ikea. A handcrafted Dala horse straw goat had us captivated. A heart shaped straw wreath in my favourite shade of red. Contrasts well with the natural coloured straw one. If you … Continue reading
Michael Buble Christmas Songs
Feeling fatigued and lacking inspiration. Was wondering how to fill this hole in the blog, when I saw this on YouTube. I know it’s a bit early, but who doesn’t love Christmas songs? They are always filled with so much … Continue reading
Last of the Christmas Decorations: Cows in Sheep’s Clothing
It always feels a bit sad when Christmas ends. It just seems like it didn’t last for long enough. Saw these amazing ones at Marche at 313 Somerset and also some pretty blue ones at Orchard Central. Loved how the … Continue reading

Doesn’t Feel like Christmas
Sigh….no singer’s voice today can match the beauty of Karen’s Carpenter’s alto tone…. It stopped feeling like truly Christmas when I lost my father, so this song reminds me of him. I am not feeling particularly depressed, because B cheered … Continue reading

Singapore Daily Photos: Toy Story Christmas at Parkway Parade
Christmas with Woody and friends. I know of Toy Story, because of the sweetest little boy, who is still little, but I can’t refer to him as a baby anymore. Even when he was 2, he would say in the … Continue reading

Singapore Daily Photos: Magical Christmas By The River (Central)
I love this mall because it doesn’t really feel like one is has a relaxed vibe with the river outside. It has loads of Japanese stores and restaurants too. They were giving away free candy floss.

Singapore Daily Photos: Checking Out Nex
With all the food blogging, I need an exercise bike. Saw an AIBI exercise equipment store at Nex. I wish Ikea was here instead of Courts. But Courts has electronics as well. I am not sure what HTC is, but … Continue reading

Wikileaks Editorial Cartoons
These editorial cartoons are hilarious. If you’re having a bad day, laughter therapy is the best way to chase away the blues – at least for a while. {Image: Cagle Cartoons} {Images: Oak Ridge Now}

Singapore Daily Photos: Christmas at VivoCity
Wouldn’t you just buy the biscuits for the tin. Who doesn’t love vintage Santa and a tin that looks like a retro radio? Marks and Spensers is defintely one of the best places for x’mas snacks and goodies. So many … Continue reading
Singapore’s Newest Mall: Braving the Human Crush at Nex (Part 5 of 5)
The Nex logo decked out in Christmas lights and joined by Winnie the Pooh and friends. Dangerous for kids or just to warn kids to keep away? I’m sure a mall would’t put up something without a barrier if there … Continue reading

Singapore Daily Photos: Christmas at Wheelok Place
Yup, another mall. The truth is, in tiny Singapore, you very soon run out of things to do and end up heading to a mall. It’s also for the free air-conditioning because it’s so terribly hot and sticky outside. … Continue reading
