The Skinny Snowman at VivoCity
It was a really windy moment just before the down pour. Previously we didn’t walk out of the mall due to the covid barricades but now that rules are more relaxed we did. I’m eager for when we don’t have … Continue reading

Dreams for My Blog
If I won the lottery tomorrow (won’t happen because I don’t even buy those things), I’d still want to continue writing and that includes blogging. I would then feel rich enough to pay a web developer for a redesign, but … Continue reading

Art at ION
The horse looked really spooky and I believe that was the effect the sculptor was going for. I like how they change up the art at ION now and then. And Saveur – french restaurant I’ve heard a lot about … Continue reading

Singapore Sweet
This piece of art turned my head at ION. Thought it was very pretty indeed and I liked the shade of blue toned red they used for the sweet wrapper. I tend to use the word sweet rather than the … Continue reading
Panda at ION
The panda sculpture almost glittered. Just beside TWG at ION (street level). I was curious about it and found more here. The artist is Julian Marinetti. Can any French speaker tell me the gist of what he’s saying? [youtube]wLmy7uNxrQ4[/youtube] I’ll … Continue reading

Moonrise Kingdom
Another wonderful movie I would recommend. Again, I greatly appreciate the loving attention to detail. Set in 1965, the musical score (Benjamin Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra) brought back memories. I think this must have been played both … Continue reading

Asian Civilization Museum: Indian Textiles from 1400-1900 & more of what we saw
Indian Textiles and a dress that reminded me of what my aunts and mum used to wear. Dresses they sewed themselves, in this very style, on a white singer machine. I found the hall itself quite lovely. The architecture of … Continue reading
