Hail in Singapore & I Missed It
The only time I experienced hail was for 5 minutes in London. It was tremendously exciting. Wish I could have been in the western part of Singapore to see the hail. I thought it was due to cloud seeding but … Continue reading
New: Starbucks at Hougang Mall
Starbucks lattes are getting more and more dilute but I’m still excited to see one soon to open at Hougang Mall. At least I can get my coffee fix the next time I’m here. There were no other options before.
Dumb Ways to Die
My cousin sent me this and I had to share. She keeps me current. This Cannes award winning train safety ad produced in Melbourne is the most cute morbid thing I’ve seen yet. I don’t like violence, fast forwarding through … Continue reading
New at Suntec City: Again While Bored and Hiding from the Haze
The kids clothes are cute at both these places but a lot more affordable at H&M. For adult clothes I much prefer Gap for the styling. The H&M clothing seems flimsy but much cheaper I guess? This place is still … Continue reading
New on a Hazy Day: Spotted St Marc Cafe while take Refuge at Marina Square
Checked out a few new places by chance. We were going bored out of our minds cooped at home anyway and at least in a mall you can walk a bit. It seems the air is healthier in a mall … Continue reading

New at Novena Square: Sophie, French Bakery
I like the name Sophie and the concept looks interesting, but I tend to prefer sit down cafes. I wonder if their other outlets have more room for tables but from this blogger’s post about the Wisma outlet, it doesn’t … Continue reading

Jem: The Upscale New Mall at Jurong East (& My Directory Picks)
We were super kiasu, I’m embarrassed to say, and checked out the newest mall jem even though most of it is just a replica of malls in Orchard Road, like Centrepoint. And nope, no queuing for us as we didn’t … Continue reading

Eager to Try: Jamie’s Kitchen & Madam Kwan’s at Vivo
Took these photos some time ago, before I fell ill. Wonder if Jamie Oliver’s restaurant has opened since then. I also wonder if there are still queues at Madam Kwan’s (probably). Considering that it’s perpetual summer, here I chuckled over … Continue reading
