Central: Nostalgia at Goods of Desire

Cavenagh Bridge: Cattle & Horses Prohibited
First time I am noticing this sign in the tiny bridge across the Singapore River, although it’s probably been here for a while? I think it’s very cool that we retain some of our history. We really lack truly old … Continue reading

Only in Chinatown: Uniquely Singapore Gift Ideas
When I travel I love tourist souvenirs but in my own country they seem cheesy. But once again blogging made me take a second look. I wonder what Steve Jobs would think of these T shirts? I’m loving the creativity. … Continue reading

Unlike other malls there’s no huge developer behind the aptly named My Village, just twin brothers who own the building and are passionate about it having grown up in the estate. It’s small size makes it cosy. The only drawback … Continue reading

P.S. Cafe at Ash Park – No Children Allowed
I hope no one throws bricks at me, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if no teens were allowed either and then it would be a truly adult place. I would love a place for old fogies like myself, but I … Continue reading
