It's the 3rd day of the Lunar New Year. Both KopiKosongGirl and I took leave to have lunch with both sets of parents. We are very grateful that since we got married, both sets of parents have been getting along well. Both sides are so 'ke qi' / superly polite as we the 'middle men' have been bringing new year goodies between the two sides. We are also 'learning' the rules of …

Another new train station opens! The Bayfront MRT Station opened over the weekend. It's part of the Circle Line. Or rather the incomplete Circle Line which you need to change trains two times if you want to go a full circle. ;-) I took it today and found it super convenient for those who wants to go to Marina Bay Sands! You literally walk out to the basement of the Hotel …

Samples have also been sent to our home by some companies. Sunnyhills has again sent some to me and I have fed them to my colleagues. I like their brown box packaging. Similar to last year's packaging. This year …

How many of you have started the Christmas Feasting? Some like our family, will roast our own Turkey(s) every year and have it with at home with our family. I know many can't cook or do not have the time to cook, and prefer to dine out. A few days ago, on the invitation of PARKROYAL on Beach Road, we had a Christmas / New Year buffet at the Plaza Brasserie. Maybe for some …
