Ever since my virgin blood donation two years ago, I had been telling myself to do it every 3 months (that’s the safe window period between two blood donations). But each time I just kept pushing it off, until the mobile donation drive showed up right at my workplace today!...
A friend and I were at Plaza Singapura scouring for a dining spot. There were plenty of options. Within the shopping mall there’s already The Manhattan Fish Market, ichiban sushi, indonesian BBQ at kopitiam and many more. And of course there’s Giraffe Bar across the road at Istana Park. I...
Oooh… Look at these pretty young things! They are so beautiful they make me want to cry! Sabine rath is a very talented photographer. She takes wonderful pictures of her cats and really captures their innocence. I spent a good couple of hours going through every single photograph in her...
A friend recently asked me, “Since you dine out all the time, do you review every single eatery that you visit?” The answer is no. There would simply be too many pictures to take and too many posts to write! The rule of thumb I follow to decide if the...
Check out this beautiful neon signage! How often do we come across a huge signage with lovey-dovey words like “romantic”? That is precisely why it caught my eye! During the day, the big block letters appear in clean white juxtaposed against the sweet pink background. At night, it illuminates with...

Ever since I’ve been back from Japan, I have been eating ayam penyet (smashed fried chicken) almost everyday! What’s even more amazing is that I’m buying it from the same stall all the time. This particular ayam penyet stall is THAT awesome. Ayam penyet is a popular rice dish found...
Usually at the end of each month, I would do a roundup of the most interesting and popular posts in that particular month. For August, the 11-parter series I blogged for my trip to Japan happened to be the most read blog posts. Here’s a summary: Japan (Day 1) –...
And this was the day we left Japan. I had successfully gone the entire night with no sleep at all! Early in the morning, we allocated ample time to get to Tokyo narita airport. But somehow by the time we did get there, we were among the last passengers to...
Barely two days into our Kyoto stay, we were on the road again, heading back to Tokyo. Over there, we would spend the night and catch the flight back to Singapore the following morning. It’s funny how time flies when you’re having fun! I wish I had a whole month...
