Helsinki: The Food I Didn’t Like
I’ll do another entry on the food I liked but mostly the trip made me appreciate the food we have back home which is way cheaper and more suited to my taste buds. Guess I am not very adventurous when … Continue reading
Singapore’s Harbour looks Magical from the Sky
I love how all the huge tankers and cargo vessels look like toy ships from high above. This is the best part about being in a plane. The view and knowing that you’ll be home soon. Distracted me and made … Continue reading
How Stockholm Transformed as the Sun Set

Gamla Stan: Quaint Old Town in Stockholm

Skansen in Stockholm
Skansen which is a ferry or tram ride away from the city centre, was one of my favourite places. It’s where I got to see the Nordic animals. It’s an open air museum or a sort of cultural theme park … Continue reading
Christmas Decorations in Stockholm & Helsinki
I found the Christmas decorations in Stockholm and Helsinki absolutely charming. Christmas felt more magical and less commercial. Real Christmas trees rather than artifical ones was one huge factor. Decorations were tasteful and not gaudy like it can be in … Continue reading
Furthest North I’ve Ever Been: Helsinki & Stockholm
This is the most last minute trip I have ever been on. Felt quite unprepared and the night before wanted to cancel, due to my claustrophobia. I had a major panic attack and it was quite scary. Thank goodness for … Continue reading

Christmas Lights at Somerset 313
Seen some gaudy Christmas decorations, but at least these colours are quite pretty. Still, Christmas in Singapore is very, extremely commercialized.

Lemon Tart & Matcha Latte at Tea Dot (Nex)
Not the best lemon tart I guess, but I think it’s pretty good. Anyone know where I can get the best lemon tarts? I prefer these to chocolate sometimes. I like my desserts sour sweet.
