Miss Singapore Universe 2011 is the Best Contestant we’ve had representing us so far
I can’t help but think this year’s Miss Singapore, is one of the most poised contestants we’ve had yet. Usually Miss Singapore is at the receiving end of derision and scorn. Even though this year’s contestant is much better I … Continue reading

Miss Singapore Universe 2011: Valerie Lim in the National Costume

Walking around Joo Chiat after our Vietnamese meal
It’s nice to take an evening stroll, soaking in the ambience of Joo Chiat, as dusk approaches. Loads of old world charm to be experienced, amidst the more controversial prostitution going on around the bar areas. Definitely not a boring … Continue reading

Freshness Burger at The Central Mall
