The world is eyeing on this JEWEL. This gigantic jewel, worth SGD$1.7 billion, sparkles like diamonds under the sun. From a distance, it looked like a futuristic building from a Sci-fi movie. Even from the photos (which I took with my mini Canon EOSM10), this interior of Jewel looked surreal. JEWEL is Singapore Changi Airport’s latest development which has just opened its doors to the public on 17 April 2019. Before the official opening, I went a day earlier for the special preview. The attraction was equally packed even though access was only granted to preview ticket holders. Both Singaporeans and foreigners are equally excited about this latest addition to…

No Milk Bistro: The Modern Bistro that serves Teochew-style Fish Soup
During the day, if you have walked past this eatery (called 鱼汤 )before, you may think that they only often Teochew-style fish soup and nothing else.

The Communal Place: Sooo good to be back! (New Menu, (April 2019)
Previously, I visited The Communal Place sometime in October of last year for lunch. And this time, I’m back again to try out a couple of their new dishes in their brand new menu which features sharing platters. Both food and service here are great and it is one of the cafes in Singapore which I would highly recommend you to come for a meal. They serve western fusion cuisine at reasonable prices and portions are generous. What more could one ask for? The Communal Place It’s a little quiet here on weekdays so if you are looking for a quiet spot to chill, study or catch up with some…

It has been a yearly affair for me to visit their annual Tulipmania in the months of April and May to catch a glimpse of these beautiful blooms.

However, these descriptions did not really stuck with me or help me understand more about the plant. And I find that…

Costa Venezia Through My Eyes : A Venice-themed Ship
Last weekend, we went onboard Costa Venezia as the cruise made its maiden call to Singapore. It was an exclusive media tour we attended which allowed us to view the interior of the ship and discover what are the unique offerings of Costa Venezia. It’s been quite some time ago ever since I last board a cruise ship for a holiday. Going for a short cruise getaway has been an annual family tradition when I was still a kid. I always remembered the energetic crew members, dazzling evening performances, fun kids-friendly activities and endless buffets that kept me occupied throughout the trip even though in reality, I was stuck in…
