A Day at Ponggol
Lately the weather has been fantastic in my book cooling to 26 degrees which is a rarity for us. Headed to one end of Singapore, Ponggol, for a change of scene. Found only one cafe open on the 2nd … Continue reading

SkyPark: To the Top of Marina Bay Sands Again
At first it was drizzling so we hesitated about whether to get tickets to the Skypark. In the end I’m glad we did as the cloudy made the glare of the sun more bearable and I didn’t end up sweating … Continue reading

Gardens by the Bay: Cosy Nooks with Nice Views
Before we got the tickets for the Domes, we walked around and we were impressed by the cool benches. Those I admit were beautiful. Shaped like crocodiles or just slabs of wood. I was real happy to find that I … Continue reading

Watching the Snow White Movie at Cathay (Spoiler Alert)
My cousin was eager to watch Snow White & the Huntman, mainly for Charlize Theron and I have to say she stole the show as the Evil Stepmother. And it was a brilliant performance. There was a deep sorrow and … Continue reading

Food Court called The Gallerie at Marina Square
I wanted to check this food court out for it’s view. But I wouldn’t really recommend the place. The ventilation was not so great. Much prefer the food quality and choices at Food Republic. Especially the branch at Wisma Atria. … 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
Rendezvous at The Central Mall
Not the best Nasi Padang by a mile. But if you want a lovely view of the Singapore River, and wonderful ambience, where they generously top up your curries for free, then I say Rendezvous is pretty good. I especially … Continue reading

Took a double decker bus around a small part of our clean island. Haven’t sat on the upper deck in many years and I recommend it. Thought these bunch of flags sewn together and fluttering in the strong breeze was … Continue reading

View from a Singapore Car
Just wanted to do a simple post about the Singapore street scenes as we drive along. One feature is that there’s always construction going on. The yellow cranes are a familiar sight. I do love the greenery and my favourite … Continue reading

It was a hazy evening. Wonder where all the smoke was coming from. Not burning trees in Sumatra again I hope. I don’t want a hazy Christmas. (Update: Apparently it was due to light winds) Saw a cute kid writing … Continue reading

VivoCity’s Skinny Snowman Looks Out To Sentosa
When my cousin visits from Perth, she loves going to two malls in particular – ION Orchard and VivoCity. VivoCity used to be her #1, but I think it may have been bumped by ION. I like VivoCity mainly because … Continue reading
