Having been in Singapore for decades, I was surprised that I didn’t know about the bridge and tower near the stadium. Thanks …
Last Sunday, we decided to do an impromptu hike after a filling lunch at Alexandra Village Food Centre. To burn off the calories, we drove to nearby Southern Ridges and decided to embark on part of the trail – from Telok Blangah Hill to Alexandra Arch. I didn’t exactly keep track of the time, but a one-way trip would definitely …

Orchard Hotel was the second hotel I stayed during my 3D2N staycation in Singapore. The experience was very different as compared to Goodwood Park Hotel which is also located within the same vicinity. Orchard Hotel’s room is modern and newly-refurbished and the ambience seemed more “busy” than serene. Let me show you my full experience at Orchard Hotel – the …

As of today, 67% of our population have been fully-vaccinated. Even those who were initially reluctant to receive vaccination are also changing their minds…quickly, as what I can see from people around …

Four years after my first purchase, I’m still loving Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick. I first published this post in 2017 when I bought a trio pack at Changi Airport DFS. The tinted lip balms in shades of pink, red and nude felt like a practical addition to my luggage, protecting my lips from dry cabin air …

I’m hardly a fan of museums and often get bored quickly, but was totally enthralled by the National Museum of Singapore when I revisited it in 2020. It is one of the best museums I’ve been to, and I said that not because I’m a Singaporean. This oldest museum in Singapore was well organised such that Singapore’s history was shared …
