Christmas at Tanglin Mall
Tanglin Mall is another place that looks charming at Christmas. I saw kids lining up to take a photo to Santa as well.

Chijmes Christmas
Very simple and tasteful decorations outside Chijmes. Snapped a quick shot as we were driving by on a drizzly afternoon.

Orchard Road Christmas Night Scene
Among all the Christmas decorations I’ve seen so far, the most impressive is outside ION at night. Although this was taken about a week ago, it already felt like the whole world was in Orchard road taking in the sights … Continue reading

A Very Pink Christmas at Orchard Central
I do like pink so I didn’t mind all that sparkly pink. There was quite an authentic looking Christmas Market set-up here too.

Creepy Looking Gnome
The Christmas decorations at Marina Square looked a tad tacky and I found the gnome kinda creepy looking.

The Christmas Tree at Ikea Singapore
I must visit Ikea again before the Christmas season is over. You truly get a feel for a Swedish Christmas there.

Spicy Peanut Noodle Soup
Been craving for handmade noodles, so had some Dan Dan Mian at Paradise Dynasty at Westgate Mall. This is not as spicy as it looks due to the peanut base. I originally thought that this was a chain from China … Continue reading

Too Busy to Blog
The blog has always been on my mind, but lately I have been just too busy to blog or even to read a book. Often we need to take time out to focus on other tasks that we have to … Continue reading
Haven’t Blogged in Ages & I’ll Now Blog About Spicy Ramen
Miss it but confess that it’s hard to get back on the saddle. I’ve lost the momentum and now understand why there are so many bloggers out there who decide to just stop writing. Maintaining a blog is quite a … Continue reading

Rustic Ponggol
In spite of the heat it was nice to come here instead of a mall. I learnt that tortises have sharp claws that they used to go up the slope of the pond seemingly to lounge in the sun, and … Continue reading
Beach Day: East Coast
It’s been hard getting back into the swing of things but I figure short and sweet posts are better than radio silence. My life has been blessed though with angelic nieces who bring more joy than I could imagine. I … Continue reading
Clutter
It’s amazing how much better you feel when you just spend just 10 minutes to clear a surface. Even a task as simple as emptying your drawer of receipts. If you do this every day, soon you’ll have a load … Continue reading

Jacob’s Cafe
There’s something about this place that makes me feel serene. A tinge of nostalgia and the quiet and emptiness helps (before the lunch crowd arrives).
Beach Day
Back to Changi beach and before that a relaxing brunch at Jacob’s Cafe. If it wasn’t so blazing hot I wouldn’t mind swimming here. Wish most days could be cool and drizzly, although I know not many people share this … Continue reading
Soft Serve Ice Cream at Dolce Tokyo
Found the green kiwi Japanese style jelly rather pretty. Felt a bit less sinful, but perhaps I’m deluding myself that this dessert was mostly ice? I have terrible food habits and tend to medicate myself with junk. I know it’s … Continue reading

Kopi: Before & After
Just felt like taking a photo of the traditional kopi cup. This was from a stall at the Tiong Bahru Food Centre. I don’t take my coffee black but like how it looks before I stir in the condensed milk.

Finally Did it: River Safari
The River Safari is a mixture of an aquarium and a zoo. I enjoyed the it more than I thought I would. I’m not usually an outdoorsy type of person. My favourite exhibits would be the pandas, red pandas (more … Continue reading

Feels Like I Have Abandoned the Blog
My partner keeps asking me why I haven’t been updating my blog. Apart from the computer that keeps crashing and the tiny font on the iphone that’s hurting my eyes, my wifi being down (yup, excuses), I just basically lost … Continue reading
No Refuge
I used to like reading in a mall while waiting for my companion, but these days all the food outlets and cafés seem to be blasting music. Haven’t they heard of mood music?The people running the place must love the … Continue reading

I Hardly Know Anything About Chicago
My impression of Chicago is: 1. Deliciously cold weather unlike Singapore, with snowy winters 2. Land of Oprah 3. Deep dish pizzas 4. Basketball – the Chicago Bulls? 5. Very high crime rates in some areas away from the city? … Continue reading
