Do People Still Blog or Read Blogs

Posted on September 2, 2022 by bookjunkie

I started in 2005 when I had a digital camera so it was easy to upload photos and write some accompanying words. So it’s been 17 years of fun. Of course I journal offline too as writing is life. I … Continue reading →

Requisite Halloween Post

Posted on October 30, 2013 by bookjunkie

Don’t know why it’s been so hard to write lately. I’ve just not approved of anything I want to write. Delete the words mentally before they even make it to a draft mode. Previously I used to be carefree & … Continue reading →

I get excited when I spot Halloween themed stuff. Saw quite a bit at Tampines 1. First at Cold Storage. And then at the food basement. Daiso had a great selection of decorative stuff to do up your home. Time … Continue reading →

Halloween Orange & Blues

Posted on October 10, 2012 by bookjunkie

I’m loving the halloween decorations in Singapore. I somehow find all the orange and pumpkins very festive and cheerful and hardly spooky. Orange was also my dad’s favourite colour. He chose our orange sofa and orange floor tiles for instance. … Continue reading →

The Story of Halloween

Posted on October 27, 2011 by bookjunkie

Living in Singapore all my life, I have never seen kids Trick or Treating and it always looked like fun on TV. Most Singaporeans like myself don’t really know the origins of Halloween which has become another commercialized holiday. Thought … Continue reading →

Wimbly Lu at Jalan Riang – Gem of a Cafe decorated for Halloween

Posted on October 15, 2011 by bookjunkie

Wimbly Lu.  Sounds like a character from a Roald Dahl book, but it’s actually a combination of the owners’ names. Yet another gem of a place, recently discovered, all because of my favourite 2 dollar local magazine, 8 Days. It’s … Continue reading →

Halloween Decorations at Tanglin Mall’s Supermarket

Posted on October 10, 2011 by bookjunkie

These are the coolest decorations I have seen by far. Especially the fake blood in the fake IV drip. I’m imagining the syrup within must be sickly sweet. Loads of creepy sweets. Another cool one was the body parts sushi … Continue reading →

Rochor Centre: Halloween Stuff & Speciality Wholesale Shops

Posted on October 3, 2011 by bookjunkie

This is one place I don’t enjoy coming to (has a bit of a gritty vibe, like Sim Lim Square and hot like a sauna with no escalators), but since I was tagging along, I decided to whip out my … Continue reading →

Ma Maison at Bugis Junction

Posted on October 31, 2010 by bookjunkie

I sometimes have a hankering for Western food, Japanese style. One word to describe it is sweetish. The ambience at Ma Maison is warm and cosy. It’s like having a meal at a cottage with their flowery tablecloths, little baskets, … Continue reading →

Halloween in Singapore Sucks

Posted on October 13, 2010 by bookjunkie

Halloween in Singapore seems to be confined to small areas of supermarkets where they sell the masks and decorations. I wish it was bigger, like what I saw in Osaka. It’s actually quite pathetic. I know it’s totally commercial and … Continue reading →

Halloween Comes Early in Osaka

Posted on October 8, 2010 by bookjunkie

One thing that struck me during my recent trip to Osaka was that Halloween is taken seriously. There were so many shops either dedicated to selling the decorations and costumes, or decked out in the orange and ghostly finery. There … Continue reading →
