Spending the first 8 mins in 2013 to enjoy a dazzling display of fireworks in the sky with music played in the background at Marina Bay is amazing. I don’t think I’ve done a countdown in this lion city before. The Countdown I know, it’s crazy and it just makes no sense that I’m a…
On the night of Christmas eve, I was in the mood for baking so I baked, beat, stir and mixed – out came 20 over mini cupcakes decorated with cream cheese frosting. This time my cupcakes turns out less fluffier then the first time I’ve made it. Perhaps I’ve gotta beat and whip in a…
Guess what I’ll be doing today at this jetty? Howdie Singapore! I was at Esplanade the other day and I was awed by the sight of thousands of white balls floating in Marina Bay waters. That’s right.

Silk may have a pleasant texture to it but the smell of it isn’t as pleasant as it looks. I’m not surprised. It’s after all from a bug. Suzhou Silk Factory At our next stop, we were brought to the silk factory where we had this opportunity to watch how silk blankets were…
Suzhou From Shanghai, we travelled to Suzhou, a city which is located in the Northeast of Jiangsu Province. Sha Jia Bang’s Hairy Crab For lunch, we had a seafood frenzy where we tried Sha Jia Bang’s hairy crabs! I don’t consider myself a seafood lover and I don’t know how to de-shell a…
