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

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

I don’t really get the Great Singapore Sale. We have sales all the time, but it never feels like real genuine discount like what I experience when I buy stuff overseas in Australia and the US. Anyone had good deals … Continue reading

Sembawang Shopping Centre: Starbucks & Daiso
