Just last week, sis and I were chatting while watching TV that we have not been to PeraMakan for some time. (I think we were some cooking show about peranakan food) A few days later, we went out shopping with uncle and family at VivoCity and suddenly our Aunt asked if anyone is interested in going to Peramakan for dinner! (she can read our stomachs? minds? hehe) What did we …

This was Sunday's lunch. Comfort food that reminds us of our late maternal grandma's cooking. Do you know when she was around, we called her SuperGran! What did we eat here? We had to order this every time we are here. Ice cold bitter gourd with honey. If you don't like the regular tea, you can ask for their special teas. This place serves nice tea! The tea we had came …

I visited the NUS Open Day last Saturday. The even is now over, but since I took a photo there, it's a 'waste' not to post this up. ;-) NUS School of Computing is where I took my Masters degree. The photo shows these helpers having a rest as everyone has gone next door to listen to the talk by the School at the Seminar Rooms. There are two departments in the School. …

This was a little treat over the weekend with Momo, Sis and my cousin. If you watched "Chen Ren Za Zhi" / City Beat on Singapore TV last week, you would have seen this on the show! Haagen Dazs is having Sushi Ice Cream. We were at VivoCity and after walking around, we saw Haagen Dazs and my cousin said hey, they have Sushi Ice Cream, shall we try? Our legs are tired... So we …

We were about to go to our usual place for lunch when a more senior colleague whose nickname is 'Old Cat' said, 'not again'. Everyone looked at him and said, if you gonna treat, we will go wherever you want us to go. He looked at us and smiled and said 'Sure!'. We picked Sushi Tei, because: 1) We had a discount card for that place. 2) Weather is too hot and there's air-con …

If you are in Singapore, everyone's talking about productivity. This morning I was at the presentation of some awards that my colleagues and I have won (merit award) on our Excellence Day. I guess our company is one that is way ahead because we even have an annual event to recognise projects that increased productivity. If I did not hear wrongly, our President in his speech …

This multi techni colour words "Siloso" must have been around for the longest time. I think it's created to beg people to take photos of it! One of the 3 beaches at Sentosa Island. It's where they have the Annual Countdown Party on the last day (31 Dec) of every year. This is the beach is where people usually play beach volleyball and roller blading. Personally I don't …

Our aunt came over and brought us a box of Chang last night. She said it's very nice, it's from Kim Choo Kueh Chang, the peranakan bak chang. When we opened the box, we saw 6 tiny cute changs inside. It's the mini changs that sells for 80 cents each. We were tempted! We seldom eat supper, but we decided to heat them up! 3 littles ones to try. The strings are so …

Oh.. it's hot and it's another ice cream outing? This was an ice cream treat after dinner with some friends on Saturday night. We had burgers for dinner at Bukit Timah Road and we drove over to Henry Park Apartments to try out ice cream at Ice Cream Kingdom that Brad recommended. That's our friend from KL, Kenny posing with his V. Nic tried to be funny. He saw the words …

How's the weather at where you are now? These few weeks in Singapore, the weather has been 'too warm'. I have been showering like up to 4 times on most days. The air conditioning at home used to be set at 25 Celsius, but the last few weeks it has been 24 Celsius because it is not cool enough. (The utility bill for these few months would be a shocking!) With such warm …
