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

My second visit to Sebar Mananti at Kandahar Street. Sebar Menanti means to wait patiently in Malay, but we didn’t have to wait for very long at all. The green chicken korma and the tempeh with french beans and tofu … Continue reading

Honeycomb Ice Cream at Cold Rock
There used to be a time when we had to travel all the way to Australia to get a honeycomb ice-cream or anything with honeycomb in it. No more. I was excited to discover a Cold Rock Ice Creamery at … Continue reading

Zahara & Siloh: Happy in California
Zahara and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt look so cute together. Love how Zahara is making Shiloh giggle. Kids teach us the true meaning of joy. Why is it that only kids skip? Who taught us that adults shouldn’t do that? No wonder … 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

Brunch on the Bridge (TWG at Marina Bay Sands)
TWG might be a tad snooty (still not as atas as PS Cafe), but it’s the place that most women who love high tea, would appreciate. The cutlery and table settings were all just so pretty. The natural light flooding … Continue reading

Captures why Art is so critical in our lives. Absolutely loved the melting blue clock. There were portraits of the artist himself. I thought he was handsome as a young man. My cousin thought the moustache made him look like … Continue reading

Haji Lane is a place you’ll fall for. It’s a haven where you won’t get shoved in a crowd, pushy sales people hovering over you, and mind numbing chain stores. It’s like a splash of colour in a country people … Continue reading

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.
