Shaytard Vlogs Make me Feel Christmassy

Marina Square at Christmas Time

Never heard of Chuggington, but I guess it’s a kiddy book series about trains. In my time we had Enid Blyton’s Noddy. And it was just about the books which we got from the library or second hand bookstore. There … Continue reading

Parco Millenia: Go Go Curry Gorilla

It was a bit odd to see the ‘gorilla’ take the escalator. Haven’t tried this new Japanese restaurant yet, but they are already doing a great job with the marketing. But no matter how enticing the marketing, it didn’t work … Continue reading

Adele’s Someone Like You SNL Skit

Singapore’s Prettiest Trees

One of the prettiest trees in Singapore is the one with dark branches and yellowish green leaves. I still don’t know what these trees are called, but they don’t seem tropical to me. I have nothing against tropical, but we … Continue reading
