Beautiful Architecture: Inside and Out
I’ve been so enthralled by the Architecture of Marina Bay Sands, because not only is it gorgeous on the outside, the inside is so thoughtfully designed as well. I love the curvy lines, arches and natural light that floods in. … Continue reading

From the Car: National Museum of Singapore
I’ve always been impressed by both the external and internal facade of our oldest museum which dates back to 1887. The special photography exhibition that’s going on right now seems interesting.

Another Delicious Nasi Padang Meal at Sabar Menanti
My second visit to Sebar Mananti at Kandahar Street. Sebar Menanti means to wait patiently in Malay, but we didn’t have to wait for very long at all. The green chicken korma and the tempeh with french beans and tofu … Continue reading

Places to Indulge: TWG Tea Garden
There are now two great places for high tea at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. Both by TWG which stands for The Wellness Group. I somehow prefer the one on the Bridge because there is a bit more privacy … Continue reading

Gorgeous Architecture: Marina Bay Sands
There are some buildings in Singapore that are such eyesores and so poorly designed that I wish they would take a cue off the innovative architecture of the Marina Bay Sands. I know I have photographed this building so much … Continue reading

Sweet Gen X Music: They Don’t Make ’em Like they Used to
Just three songs that were playing in my head today and just had to go hunt out on YouTube. Sorry to sound like an old fogie, Gen Y, but I’m truly Gen X and I just can’t get with the … Continue reading

Brunch on the Bridge (TWG at Marina Bay Sands)
TWG might be a tad snooty (still not as atas as PS Cafe), but it’s the place that most women who love high tea, would appreciate. The cutlery and table settings were all just so pretty. The natural light flooding … Continue reading

One level was dedicated to ancient treasures from a shipwreck. Included were intricate gold cups from the Tang Dynasty. And did you know that Singapore was known as Temasek in the 9th Century?

I have very few photos of the van Gogh exhibit as photography was not allowed within the hall. It was an experience – music and projected images in a dimmed hall. It’s hard to describe, but I could have sat … Continue reading

Captures why Art is so critical in our lives. Absolutely loved the melting blue clock. There were portraits of the artist himself. I thought he was handsome as a young man. My cousin thought the moustache made him look like … Continue reading

If you’ve ever played Pet Society on Facebook (used to be addicted to it before I quit cold turkey), you’ll recognize the Dali couch in the form of red lips. It was one of the most expensive and exclusive items … Continue reading

As a child I have always loved the idea of angels. There are one of the most comforting symbols to me. Also I had no idea that Dali sculptures (not original ones) were found all over the world, in public … Continue reading

The Dali Exhibits were divided according to his work. Like this one – Mythology and Religion. The butterfly – to help man escape daily worries for lightness. I wish there was a way the butterflies on earth could help us … Continue reading

Beyond the symbols, the sculptures were just beautiful to look at. Woman of Time (1973) I am loving the idea that beauty can be independent of time. It was interesting how the faces of the sculptures were masked with what … Continue reading

I found the Dali sculptures both beautiful and thought provoking. I definitely have quite a lot of repressed feelings and I probably repressed them, just to survive. I think this is probably true of most people. An interpretation of A … Continue reading

Children Little Museum at Bussorah Street
Even though this was my second time to the shophouse, which has been converted to a nostalgia museum, it felt new somehow. It was extra fun perhaps because my cousin was with it and it was cool to see her … Continue reading

Doinky Doodles at Bali Lane
Bali Lane just next to Haji Lane and adds to the whole artsy vibe. Doinky Doodles is a must see. Loved the paintings on the walls and all the lovingly handcrafted items within.
