CNY 2013: Chinese New Year Festivities at People’s Park Complex
In Chinatown I like the immediate area around People’s Park Complex. Outside the complex there is authentic street food from China. I love the spicy buns. They are like chinese burgers – so delicious. But you have to be prepared … Continue reading
Walked from Tanglin Mall to Wheelock Place
Got a chance to see the Christmas street lights before they are taken down and replaced with Chinese New Year decorations. Felt better after the walk. Dinner left us feeling terribly bloated as we over ordered as usual.

The Fluffy Sky Today
Surprisingly it didn’t rain…maybe tonight. I’m hoping. I always sleep better to the loud patter of the rain. Our clouds hang so low that it sometimes looks like a magical pure white bonfire on the ground. Later, the pretty overcast … Continue reading
Haji Lane Graffiti & Strict Singapore
