The Outfield – Your Love
I’m crazy about this song right now – Your Love by The Outfield. And reminds me how I loved the 80’s. A good time to be a teen. The era of the big hair, areobics and ridiculous shoulder pads. So … Continue reading
Cider at Ikea
Loved the strawberry & lime cider at Ikea. Loveliest scent & aftertaste. It was below 5 bucks and much cheaper than having it at a restaurant where I’ve seen cider marked up and sold for as much as 15 bucks.
Underwhelmed at Tim Ho Wan

Joy, Love, Hope
The Christmas decorations at My Village spoke to me. It’s lovely how this tiny mall always tries to be a bit different from the pack. The result is always charming. Instead of carolling there was a performance with bells that … Continue reading

I Do Like the Malls at Christmas
It’s that time of year where the malls get more fun. I like to see how creative they can get with the decorations. At Parkway Parade the kids will get excited about Santa’s helper perched on a wreath. I only … Continue reading

My Favourite Free iPad Apps for Toddlers
Ironically after writing a post about the hazards of being connected (due to the ease and portability of devices), I also wrote about my favourite free ipad apps for toddlers. Yes there are advantages we can’t ignore and we have … Continue reading

Hyper-Connected & I Think It’s Bad for Me
I miss the old days. For me that was the early 90’s before I owned a handphone. I used to focus and seemed to get a lot more done. Things were slower paced at work, but interactions were higher quality. … Continue reading

Christmas at Ikea Singapore 2013
Ikea always seems to do Christmas best. So we trooped on there to have a look. It was charming as the year before and I really liked the little tin Chritmas tree ornaments best. B noticed the unique use of … Continue reading
New Robinsons at The Heeren impressed me
When B first told me about how Robinsons has taken over at The Heeren and is now almost like a Harrods (taken over the whole building apart from the Costa Cafe) I thought he might have read exaggerated reports, but … Continue reading

The Little Things in Life & Happiness

Singapore Sweet
This piece of art turned my head at ION. Thought it was very pretty indeed and I liked the shade of blue toned red they used for the sweet wrapper. I tend to use the word sweet rather than the … Continue reading
Tang at Mustafa
Had to snap a shot of shelves of Tang, a powdered vitamin C drink I used to have as a kid in the 80’s. I haven’t seen this in a while and it’s cool how this department store in Little … Continue reading
Deepavali Street Decorations
I didn’t get to see the Deepavali street light-up, but I’m glad I got to at least see this year’s theme during the day time. I hope that I don’t miss the Christmas light up this year. Here’s a slightly … Continue reading
Getting Back into Writing Mode
I need to repeat this to myself – “Just write. It doesn’t have to be perfect”. And I’m lucky I have a very forgiving audience. Somehow when I was writing a lot in the past it came easy to me … Continue reading
