Business as usual on Halloween ’14
The office Ministry of Fun organized a “Halloween” treat earlier. It was an excuse to drink some wine and act silly in costumes. I like the team effort exerted by the other departments. One group came as an entourage of scarecrows. I bought a mask at FairPrice to take part in the festivities. I wanted […]

Tim Ho Wan at the Hersing Centre in Toa Payoh
2nd time here and we got seats fairly quickly. It was around 7:45pm (on a Friday night). My friend and I ordered shrimp dumplings, spinach dumplings, and the Tim Ho Wan crowd favorite “pork buns”. My goodness! The pork buns are just… Ughhh-mazing. Not trying to make it sound overrated but damn that’s what you […]

Creating my own running route in downtown Singapore
Jogging in Singapore’s HDB heartlands is relaxing. I jogged around the fringes of rural Yew Tee, the town streets of Yishun, and the vast expanse of Ang Mo Kio-Bishan Park. But I’ve never jogged downtown. Where to change clothes? Where to leave my bag? Everyone who jogs downtown needs to look beautiful and handsome. LOL I guess […]

Dropping by the Singapore City Gallery at The URA Centre
During lunch or afternoon snacks I like to head down to Maxwell Food Centre to grab a bite. My route from International Plaza to Maxwell passes by The URA Centre which contains the Singapore City Gallery. It’s a free gallery which showcases the city’s physical transformation over the past decades. It also shows upcoming plans and concepts. I […]

FDS 2014 Batch 5 newbie photo from our 2nd session
I’ll start referring to Filipino Dragons Singapore as FDS from now on. I found a photo uploaded on a fellow newbie’s Instagram. Thanks Dex. This photo was taken on our 2nd newbie session two Saturdays ago. I feel inspired by dragonboating.

Why the Singapore Sports Hub is my new favourite place in SG
Orchard is crowded, Esplanade and Marina Bay have been photographed too many times, and Gardens by the Bay (my other favourite place) is too far from cheaper food options. Here at the Singapore Sports Hub, away from the buzz of cars and buses… it’s peaceful. A beautiful view of the Kallang River basin greets you. […]

3rd newbie session with the Filipino Dragons Singapore team
There were fewer newbies and more seniors this time so it was a bit intimidating. But I admire the passion that drives some of the seniors to teach us newbies. I really like the feeling being on the boat and paddling. You have to carry your weight and that is motivation to keep going. My […]

BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore: Ana Ivanovic vs Simona Halep, up close!
Omg thanks to a colleague from marketing, I got a pair of tickets to watch the BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore last night. It was actually a round robin match between World No. 4 (Simona Halep) vs World No. 7 (Ana Ivanovic) at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Lots of people in the stadium were cheering […]

Picking up some goodies at Velocity@Novena
Sweldo happened. So now I’m buying sporty things like swim trunks and push-up bars. Velocity at Novena has some great options since it’s a sports mall. They have 2 Speedo shorts for S$39.00 so I grabbed the chance. Wala na kasi akong swimming trunks. The last one I had, Skull prints and all, is too […]

Race Kit: Singapore Airlines Charity Run 2014
Race kit collection was at Kallang Leisure Mall earlier. The race is on November 2 at the F1 Pit. I signed up because I wanted to have a singlet with the Singapore Airlines logo on it. (I am being totally honest!). The race kit comes with a singlet, race bib, illy Drip Coffee samples, nutri-bar […]
