Shots – a Cafe on Ann Siang Hill
I previously thought the barista at this place were a tad glum and snooty but this time there were new baristas and they were so nice. I really do appreciate humble, down to earth people – they don’t get enough … Continue reading

Sri Mariamman Temple at South Bridge Road
I am not sure whether I have ever been inside this Hindu temple, but the carvings always intrigue me. Usually temple artists from India are commissioned to create the sculptures and they are always done by hand. There were several … Continue reading

Overcast Day
Sometimes, it surprises me how gorgeous our highways are, especially with the sky as a back drop. Love it when the sky is pretty like this. It also means the day will be cooler than usual. I hope the weather … Continue reading
Pearls
I hardly wear jewellery, but I love gazing at it. Pearls remind me of a teacher we had who had the most amazing sexy curvy figure which she squeezed into tight cheongsams. She was so elegant and liked to twirl … Continue reading

The NY Times didn’t give a positive review of the movie The Young Victoria, but I found it quite charming, especially Emily Blunt. Rupert Friend was sweet in the role of King Albert and the chemistry between the actors just … Continue reading

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.

Milky Ginger Tea at Kampong Glam
We walked a little way down past Kandahar street to a tiny coffee shop. Here hot tea is traditionally tossed high into the air by a sweet, elderly Indian Muslim man. The resulting teh tarik was perfection. I even felt … Continue reading

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

Inspired at the Art Science Museum (11 of 11)
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?
