School holidays are round the corner! Have you started planning your family vacation? Or perhaps you are considering a family staycation at a kid-friendly hotel in Singapore? Furama RiverFront Singapore has recently launched their Family Rooms and special #FuramaKids staycation bundles that are suitable for families with young children or even teenagers. I was here […]
Was planning to roll out my second instalment of my KL travel & food posts this week but decided to do something different today. Hubby and I visited Gardens by the Bay last month on the first day of its Mid-Autumn Festival that was held from 3 – 18 September. Meant to share about this […]
Headed to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a 9-day eat-venture while the husband was on business. I was previously in a job where I had to travel a lot because the events that my company was organising were mainly based in the Asia Pacific region. KL was one of the cities that I often flew to […]
Hello again Jen. Just a year ago, I was here with my family for their weekend brunch buffet at the former Cafebiz (now renamed to J65). And last month I was back with my husband because the kind folks at Hotel Jen Tanglin had hosted us for a one-night stay which happened to coincide with […]
Good morning sunshine! ☀☀☀ The husband and I went for a walk at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park as I wanted to feed the fishes. When we were done, we decided to go the opposite direction towards Upper Thomson Road so we could deviate from our usual route just for a change. I was glad we […]
I’ve been looking for gold again on Qoo10 and found another great ticket deal for the S.E.A. Aquarium. Ended up paying only S$24+ for 2 (admission-after-2pm) tickets that included admission to The Maritime Experiential Museum and Typhoon Theatre as well. That was a whopping 40% off the published rates! 😉 These tickets had at least […]
I had actually stopped buying stuffs on Qoo10 for a long time because it was just too easy to get hooked onto online shopping. I would tend to overspend and end up buying things that I didn’t really need. Having insufficient space at home to store my white elephants didn’t help and I had to […]
The final instalment of my Sapphire Princess cruise review trilogy post. If you have missed out on the earlier two parts, here they are: Sapphire Princess Cruise Review (Part 1 of 3) – The Best Holiday Experience Ever Sapphire Princess Cruise Review (Part 2 of 3) – An Endless Supply of Food Before I went […]
To avid foodies like us, the most exciting part of a cruise had got to be the FOOD. That is why I need a whole blog post for it, haha. Anyway, if you haven’t read Part 1 of my cruise review, here’s the link to it -> Sapphire Princess Cruise Review (Part 1 of 3) – […]
It had been a decade since I last went on a cruise with my college mates on Star Cruises’ Superstar Virgo. Though I vaguely remembered all the things we did during the cruise, I just knew we had so much fun together. The beautiful thing about going on a cruise is that it’s really a […]
Some of you might not have heard of ORTO but the name ‘Bottle Tree Park’ might just ring a bell. ORTO (means ‘garden’ or ‘orchard’ in Italian) is a new leisure park that has now taken over the site of former Bottle Tree Park in Yishun (about 8-10 minutes walk from Khatib MRT Station). The […]
When a friend from overseas came to town recently, I suggested that we should go visit the Singapore Zoo which claimed to be the ‘World’s Best Rainforest Zoo’. I don’t know about that since I haven’t visited enough zoos to compare but I always have a good impression of our zoo because I like how […]
Having a garden in the city is not just about getting closer to nature but it really offers a welcoming respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life as well as a cool reprieve from the sultry heat of our year-round summer. I love walking. I think it’s one of the most therapeutic exercises […]
The husband planned a day out on my birthday two weeks ago and we started off with an outing to the River Safari in the morning which I was really excited about as I hadn’t been there since its soft opening in April 2013. And it was really a good time to visit the park […]
Recently, there have been quite a number of local TV programmes depicting Singapore in its early days, things that we grew up with and food/snacks that we used to eat when we were little kids. These certainly brought back some nostalgic childhood memories for me. And so happened I was walking around the Arab Quarter […]
Finally bought a new pair of trainers from Nike Factory Outlet at West Coast Plaza. Excited to try out my new shoes, my husband and I decided to do an impromptu walk at MacRitchie Reservoir. And we even brought along a loaf of white bread to see if we might get a chance to feed […]
