Fort Canning Park (3 of 3)
It was a total surprise to see art among the lushness. You see I haven’t been here for perhaps more than a year. It could be longer. The killer humidity is the only thing that keeps us away.

Fort Canning Park (1 of 3)
We don’t have mountains in Singapore, but I’m happy that we have hills even if they are just 60 metres high like this one. Did you know that this place was known as Bukit Larangan? It means “Forbidden Hill” in … Continue reading

Just a pictorial walking guide of how we made our way back to Bugis MRT. The Sultan Mosque. So much colour and fabric, along the way. Marvellous rugs. Mannequins draped in jewel tones. Sufi’s Corner, but no hookah smokers on … Continue reading

Find your Childhood at Children Little Museum (Part 2 of 5)
Kids were fascinated by rockets back in the 50’s and 60’s. It was all about moon walking and the spaceman. Even Santa joined in. And this is what a toy store looked like in the olden days in Singapore. I … Continue reading

Getting My Bearings at Bussorah Street
From Fika we walked on and passed Bussorah Street. This is how i get my bearings – recalling the shops or interesting things that catch my eye along the way. There’s a sign here pointing towards the Malay Heritage Centre.

Chewing Gum Man, the 10 Digit Hand & Other Art (Marina Bay Sands)
Cool art installation. I wonder what statement is being made here. More weird art that makes you stop and take a second look. The single hand with 10 digits. It’s ugly to me, but striking indeed. I was attracted by … Continue reading

Rasapura: Food Court around the Skating Rink at Marina Bay Sands
It’s nice to sit by the huge skating rink (artificial because otherwise it would be freezing). There were many kids skating and some even cried that they were bored, but their parents implored them to carry on since they already … Continue reading

Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands: Where you can take a sampan ride and experience gushing water inside a mall
Don’t think I’ll ever ride the sampan. Just seems to contrived and unreal, when I could take a nice bumboat ride out to one of the little islands from Changi instead. But I think kids would enjoy this and I’d … Continue reading

The Yellow Building and my thoughts about Colour and Shades
Everytime I pass by the Chicago Business School, I always see someone sweeping the leaves away. This must be a really well maintained building. Such a lovely shade of yellow too. I am starting to think I don’t really have … Continue reading

Prettiest Italian Restaurant in Singapore: Cugini at Club Street
