Singapore Daily Photos: Christmas at Kinokuniya (Liang Court)
I always feel so relaxed at this bookstore. I like the placement of the books although the selection is better at the main branch at Takashimaya, this place has a homey feel. The branch at Bugis is the worst. It’s … Continue reading

Singapore Daily Photos: Christmas at Meidi-ya
My favourite supermarket. The Christmas decorations are most tastefully done I must say. At some of the malls the decorations can be a tad gaudy and tacky, but the Japanese always get it right. Have you ever wondered why some … Continue reading

More Stationary Bliss: Raffles City Marina Link Underground Mall
After my dalliance at Paper Market, I did not expect another new stationary store at such close proximity. The place is oddly called nbc and I have no idea what it stands for. It’s certainly not affiliated to the television … Continue reading
Ma Maison at Bugis Junction
I sometimes have a hankering for Western food, Japanese style. One word to describe it is sweetish. The ambience at Ma Maison is warm and cosy. It’s like having a meal at a cottage with their flowery tablecloths, little baskets, … Continue reading
