The West Lake
上有天堂，下有苏杭。 There’s heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth.
You’d think it’d be easy to row the boat but I tried and failed miserably. It is much harder to steer than it is to actually move the boat. That man is strong and barely flinched as you can see, casually smoking [...]
I: Paris to Roma
“This is it,” I thought to myself as I stepped through the customs at Changi International Airport after waving goodbye to my teary-eyed family and friends. Backpacking isn’t common in Singapore, not to mention alone. It was a blasphemous decision to everyone I knew. When I belted up on the plane and felt the familiar [...]
People Like Us Cafe
I only get to meet up with Shiyu like once a year or so because she was studying in Australia and now I am going to work in China. After a quick search on hungrygowhere, she came to pick me at my place and we went to People Like Us Cafe, one of the few [...]
A Letter to Family
Dear Michi,
All is well over here, please let Pa and Mummy know and tell them not to worry.
Golden Sweat has been very accommodating with my nonsense and makes sure I get to school on time every day. He is very smart and helps me a lot, especially on grammar and phonetics. When I get too [...]
Singapore SPCA
Thanks to the new Circle Line, we can now conveniently visit the Singapore Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) by alighting at Bartley and taking a 3-minutes stroll from the station. The Singapore SPCA looked like it never upgraded in 20 years (it’s actually my first visit) with very few animals in [...]
Kith Cafe
Not a good photo-taking day, I only like these 2 shots. Kenji’s camera is kinda broken while J’s Holga rewind-misfortune probably cost him the entire roll.
Kith Cafe serves yummy milkshake, try strawberry yoghurt or peanut butter! Reasonably priced at SG$5.50 each. Free parking at Waterfront condominium if you let them know that you are going [...]
The Cookie Museum
Wendy, exclaiming that the strawberry’s heart-shaped.
Love this photo with my Afternoon Tea at Harrods bag that I bought last year in London, how apt! Reminds me of the “Faceless Portrait” angle in Hot Shots.
The Cookie Museum, formally known as the V Tea Room, isn’t really a museum per se. It’s more of a cookie lab [...]
Cat Socrates & Mint Museum of Toys
Best part about “re-uniting” with Kenji after all these years is to find a spontaneous photography buddy! Not to mention, my new friend, J – the unknowing victim who willingly jumped into our crazy whirlpool of film/digital SLR/DSLR/toy cameras after a spontaneous decision to meet in Taipei! Sooo… the 3 of us went on a little excursion [...]
Casual Poet
To ease a bit of the Taipei-hangover, Shaun introduced me to Casual Poet, a laidback cafe tucked away in an inconspicuous shophouse in Chinatown. I told J about it and we went to check it out on a lazy Saturday.
臺北/九份 Apr'09
Jiufen (九份) reminds me of somewhere in Japan (I forgot)… You’ll need to take a cab or bus to reach here as there isn’t a train station. Lots of food, souvenir shops and tea houses with smashing views. They say it’s easy to identify the tourists, especially Singaporeans, because we’re usually in shorts/berms and slippers while [...]
