Singapore Daily Photo: Skinny Snowman at VivoCity
It’s still there. Looking out into the sea and Sentosa. In congested Singapore it’s nice to catch a glimpse of pockets of space and nature.

Singapore Daily Photo: Mesmerised by The Moon & Venus
It was remarkable to witness the change in the position of the moon in relation to the planet Venus. It’s why even though I always long for extra sleep, I force myself up on most mornings to get a glimpse … Continue reading

#97: A Mall With A Beautiful Indoor Fountain Surrounded by Lush Greenery
Decided to continue the list I started more than a decade ago. Since then probably some things on my list are no more, because Singapore is constantly morphing. But we are now blessed with Jewel and her majestic fountain. It … Continue reading
Beautiful Shades
I love gazing at lovely shades. Some combinations are just more pleasing and harmonious like the pastels at the revamped MOS burger outlets. I’m partial to certain shades of pink, blue and white.
Another Day, Another Chicken Burger
Sad that this won’t be permanently on the menu. Doesn’t it look so enticing? Had this at a very tiny outlet at 18 Tai Seng, manned by just one girl. Don’t know how she manages, but she does a good … Continue reading

Singapore Museums: The National Museum is Amazing & A Must Visit
It’s free for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents so we really should take advantage of this. The building itself is spectacular and we are always awestruck looking up at the dome with the stain glass. As I went with two darling … Continue reading

Funny Signs in Singapore
Naughty people stuck their stickers on this poor vendor’s notice. Singaporeans can be very lazy indeed when it comes to things like this that’s not considered litter. Also made me wonder. Who is now accepting 5 cent coins. And our … Continue reading

Dreams for My Blog
If I won the lottery tomorrow (won’t happen because I don’t even buy those things), I’d still want to continue writing and that includes blogging. I would then feel rich enough to pay a web developer for a redesign, but … Continue reading

Shake Shack: Chicken Burger & Chicken Bites
Honestly came here because for some reason Gastronomia Da Paolo was full and so were many other places like Burger King, and B said there was a long queue just to enter the Food Court. The school holidays are over … Continue reading

Singapore Daily Photo: Stormy Skies
We’ve been having quick but severe thunderstorms. I don’t mind them as long as I’m not outdoors caught in one. Even a regular umbrella won’t stop you from getting soaked waist down. You need a huge one in our showers. … Continue reading

It’s Supposed to be the First Day of Spring in The Northern Hemisphere
I say supposed to be, as we don’t really have the 4 seasons in Singapore apart from the monsoon seasons. Technically we are in the northern hemisphere, but so close to the equator that our days and nights are evenly … Continue reading

My Fave Japanese Stores in Singapore #3 : Don Don Donki
A picture heavy post. This store is so enticing and attractive, although it’s more on the expensive side compared to Daiso of course. The fruit is like eye candy and the fresh scent of apples today. Just wow. Feast for … Continue reading

Sign at Tekka Market
Did a double take when I saw this at Tekka Market. Thought it was people hugging at first. Might be an old notice put up by the police but it’s my first time seeing it. Also I only recently started … Continue reading

Where We Used Our CDC Vouchers #12: Yakader Dum Briyani at Tekka
Been coming here for years and raving about it to relatives. Miss this a lot during the lockdown period. Back then this stall was not as famous as Allahuddin. When we first tried the Yakader chicken dum briyani, the chicken … Continue reading

Lunch Buffet at Swissotel: Ellenborough Market Cafe
We love hotel buffets, but we only go on special occasions. This buffet lasted from 12 noon to 2.30 pm. Everything came in really tiny portions, but the quality was good. Especially liked the buckwheat noodles, mac and cheese, spicy … Continue reading

Where We Used Our CDC Vouchers #11: First Time at a New Coffee Joint – Niche Savoureuse
We didn’t plan to go here and it was quite a random find. Glad we checked it out. They serve good coffee here which surprised us as it’s rare as most places have coffee that’s acidic & sourish. Reminded us … Continue reading

The yellow bean hum chim peng was piping hot today and so perfectly good. The salty sweet combo is just heaven to this carb addict. Today there was a young guy at the stall and a lady perhaps the wife … Continue reading

Northshore Plaza: We like this new mall at Punggol
In Singapore malls are needed to escape the intense heat. And it’s nice to find a new place to hang out, that’s not too crowded. I think it’s because it doesn’t have a Uniqlo. I noticed that any mall with … Continue reading
