Bedok Reservoir Park
On the way to Bedok Reservoir Park, which is a bit hard to find, we passed by a mosque that looked majestic against the blue sky. I like my photos best when the weather is unbearably hot. They always turn … Continue reading

Trip to Delhi – Day 2 (Exploring The Taj Mahal Hotel)
I was not impressed by the breakfast at the hotel. The bacon and eggs I had in Sweden was still tops, but I guess it’s my fault. I should have gone for the Indian vegetarian items instead. However, the Hotel … Continue reading

Fullerton Bay Hotel: Afternoon Tea
I think I’ve just been treated to the best high tea in Singapore. I used to think it was Rose Veranda. The company must have made for a good experience as well. The ambience at the Landing Point at Fullerton … Continue reading

Singapore’s Prettiest Trees
One of the prettiest trees in Singapore is the one with dark branches and yellowish green leaves. I still don’t know what these trees are called, but they don’t seem tropical to me. I have nothing against tropical, but we … Continue reading

Ikea Singapore for a dose of Sweden and a Swedish Christmas (ruined by bad behaviour)
Another reason to adore Ikea. Twenty-four numbered drawers to mark a countdown to Christmas is a lovely idea. It’s called an Advent calendar and costs S$19.90 which is a bit expensive, but it’s such a cool idea for both kids … Continue reading

Helsinki: The Beautiful Harbour
Here’s where people take a cruise to places like Tallin in Estonia, Stockholm and St Petersburg in Russia. We didn’t do that as we wanted to experience Helsinki fully and had limited time. But there is a beauty here that … Continue reading
Singapore’s Harbour looks Magical from the Sky
I love how all the huge tankers and cargo vessels look like toy ships from high above. This is the best part about being in a plane. The view and knowing that you’ll be home soon. Distracted me and made … Continue reading
Gamla Stan: Quaint Old Town in Stockholm
Another of my favourite places in Stockholm was Gamla Stan which means Old Town. It was just a subway ride away from our hotel so it was the very first area we explored and also said to be a must … Continue reading
Skansen in Stockholm
Skansen which is a ferry or tram ride away from the city centre, was one of my favourite places. It’s where I got to see the Nordic animals. It’s an open air museum or a sort of cultural theme park … Continue reading
Christmas Decorations in Stockholm & Helsinki
I found the Christmas decorations in Stockholm and Helsinki absolutely charming. Christmas felt more magical and less commercial. Real Christmas trees rather than artifical ones was one huge factor. Decorations were tasteful and not gaudy like it can be in … Continue reading
Christmas Lights at Somerset 313
Seen some gaudy Christmas decorations, but at least these colours are quite pretty. Still, Christmas in Singapore is very, extremely commercialized.
