Beautiful Shades
I love gazing at lovely shades. Some combinations are just more pleasing and harmonious like the pastels at the revamped MOS burger outlets. I’m partial to certain shades of pink, blue and white.
Wispy Evening Clouds
Evenings in Singapore are pretty hot. It only gets cool after 7.30pm when the sun has set. The sky has been undeniably pretty though, with those wispy cirrus clouds.

Orchard Road Christmas Night Scene
Among all the Christmas decorations I’ve seen so far, the most impressive is outside ION at night. Although this was taken about a week ago, it already felt like the whole world was in Orchard road taking in the sights … Continue reading

Starbucks at Christmas
I find the Starbucks Christmas disposable cups too nice to throw away. Tried their seasonal toffee nut latte and it’s rather addictive.
New Love for Pasarbella
What an absolute treat it was to visit Pasarbella, the upscale farmer’s market at Turf City (now called Grandstand), at an off peak hour. So peaceful and serene, I yearn to return. An extreme contrast to my very first visit … Continue reading

At Plaza Singapura Again: thoughts about queues
Talking about pretty designs, I’m loving the new white Starbucks mugs with the embossed logo and wonder how much they cost. Finally got a seat at the Starbucks outlet at Plaza Singapura’s new wing. We came here to try the … Continue reading

I Love the Designs at Ikea
I have a major weakness for pretty designs and colours. Ikea is so tempting with their fresh designs in punchy or soothing colours. I adore the shades they choose for their products and the clean lines. I feel like a … Continue reading

Excited about the Pretty Christmas Decorations at Ikea
Out of all the Christmas decorations I’ve seen I think Ikea does it best. Had to do our usual round of checking them out and we went to the Tampines branch. Didn’t buy anything as it was crazy crowded. Hard … Continue reading

Franc Franc: Exquisite Drinking Glasses
There’s a section within Franc Franc at Vivo that sells exquisite looking glasses. It’s a pity they are so expensive. S$34 is way too much but I just love the shape and it’s surprisingly light. I wonder if it’s glass … Continue reading

The Scenic Route
I may complain that Singapore lacks nature and is just too urban, but sometimes I feel that the roads themselves can be a green oasis. You just need to find the scenic route. But when all that fails there’s always … Continue reading
Tiong Bahru Bakery: I Came Back to Try the Lemon Curd Tart
Been here some time ago but due to a major blog backlog took this long to blog about the experience. What I do love is the proliferation of French cafes in Singapore. What I like best at Tiong Bahru Bakery … Continue reading

Cat Socrates: A Little Store Tucked Away at Bras Basah Complex
Chanced upon this cool little knick knack store at Bras Basah Complex. What a cool name huh? Cat Socrates. A philosophizing cat. The Chesire cat from Alice and Wonderland immediately comes to mind. As photos were not allowed inside (it’s … Continue reading

My Thoughts on Inflation While Browsing at Tanglin Mall
I was attracted by the pretty florals and spotted Cath Kidston designs at Tatty Marsh when we were browsing at Tanglin Mall. It’s one of the prettiest stores I’ve seen. All a bit too expensive though and I’m sure they … Continue reading

L’etoile at 160 Owen Road: Lovely Setting, Disappointing Drinks
Service felt earnest at this pretty cafe said to be inspired by French style cafes in Japan. Disappointingly though, the food and drinks did not satisfy. Think my expectations have sky rocketed since trying out all the new idie cafes … Continue reading

Gardens by the Bay: The Flower Dome (Part 1)
You’ll be greeted by screens displaying pictures of flowers as you enter The Flower Dome. Guess things like this give the place more of a Theme Park than a garden feel. Upon first view we were impressed. Found the Dome … Continue reading

Oriole with My Cousin
Had a lovely time at Oriole, which is just outside Somerset 313, although I’m afraid the air-conditioning was a bit too cold for my cousin. I on the other hand am a walking furnace so it was just nice for … Continue reading
