JB After the Malaysian Elections: A Sea of Blue
It was interesting to be in JB the day after the Malaysian elections. It was a sea of blue. The streets were also pretty quiet and the traffic less heavy. Perhaps everyone was expecting it to be rowdy the day … Continue reading

The Wonder of Kampong Glam
What a wonderful combination of bright Orange and hot Pink. The weathered cement floor adds to the beauty. Walking through a little alley, fringed by pots of bamboo. Feeling zen already. Oh dear, not bambi. Buying cloth. Arab Street with … Continue reading

Prettiest Italian Restaurant in Singapore: Cugini at Club Street
This was one of the prettiest restaurants I’ve dined at. The turqoise on white combination was perfect. The decor transported me to some European holiday isle. The food’s not bad either. The grilled chicken pizza. I am sure this was … Continue reading

Who’s Afraid of the Parking Attendant?
Suddenly there’s a face at your car window and you’re a bit startled. Don’t worry, this is not a Singapore mugging. The only kind of ‘mugging’ done here is by kids from elite schools, heads buried in text-books. The person … Continue reading

Bedroom with Pretty Prints
Who knew that so many gorgeous prints could work together with such a pretty result. I think the mainly white background and the blues and pinks anchor the design. The doll, the blue rocking chair, the layers of pretty fabrics … Continue reading
