There’s a rich seam of heritage around my office that I sometimes overlook and under appreciate:

I was actually taken by surprise when I tried to make my way on time for the Golf GTI35 Party at Kallang Airport last night.
I was already running late getting to the north end of the premises, where the map of the event said I should head, when I got stuck in a […]
For Wednesdays in September 2011 only, show this post (on your mobile device) to iFly Singapore’s ticketing booths and get an Adult First Timer Challenge Package for only S$59 (U.P. S$89).
Thanks iFly for treating me (and a bunch of bloggers) to this fantastic experience. I really like the idea of skydiving without the […]
There are few things better than to watch Kai, completely impromptu, stretch his arms wide while silently looking at the waves lapping near his feet.

The crowds at the PC Show are such that the media are treated to “previews” an hour before the gates open and the hordes start pushing in.
Thank you people at Grayling who’ve invited us for the second year running. We got our stuff, “redeemed” our freebies, and fled […]

No word on whether they’ll keep the water running, so it’s like a spa or something. No, wait! A bidet! Japanese guests would like that! Just […]
We were short of a couple of organic ingredients for a food project Sunday afternoon, and the usual supermarkets didn’t stock them. So we called up a couple of places in the “far north western farming corridor” and drove out.
It only took 25 minutes to get to the first farm, and we got […]
Anyone who’s been to the ToTT Store in Bukit Timah will know what a kitchen wonderland it is, chock full of appliances we can’t afford, plus an IKEA-style cafeteria that is suspiciously not as crowded as IKEA’s cafeteria.
We had been looking for an apple corer over the weekend, because one of our […]
