Behind-the-scenes: Day trip to the Southern Islands
It’s been almost six years since I last created a “silent vlog” (a video where there’s no talking, only capturing the natural sights and sounds of our surroundings). I want to experiment with this approach since I enjoy consuming these types of videos anyway. Here’s the result… enjoy! Video synopsis: Let’s visit St. John’s Island…

Cars, and maybe, ships
I’m so tired of it. I’ve been looking at Formula 1 videos all week. I’m not a true blue F1 fan who knows everything. But I’m inclined to learn about it. Race tracks are exciting. Not just the Marina Bay Circuit but the thought of exotic race locations in many places around the world. The…

Moving houses, again
After riding out the pandemic the last two years in Pasir Ris, we’ve moved out! It was an expensive and draining move (when compared with all my previous ones). Our condo block is the furthest from the pick-up area where the lorry is allowed to park. This meant that we had to hire movers to…

A Day Trip to Pulau Ubin
We went to Pulau Ubin over the weekend. Pulau Ubin is a small island off the northeast coast of Singapore. It’s accessible via a 10-minute bumboat ride from Changi Point Ferry Terminal.

New things to do in Singapore – now that there’s a VTL with the Philippines
Big news last week now that a vaccinated travel lane (VTL) is opening up with the Philippines. That means there are no quarantines both ways starting this March. People arriving via VTLs in Singapore will only require a supervised self-administered Antigen Rapid Test within 24 hours of arrival. Personally, I can’t wait to host friends…

Kayaking at Kallang Basin for the first time
Oh hello there, bright orange boat. I’m low-key proud that I’m no longer triggered by this place. I put so many hours into Kallang River and Kallang Basin during the four years I was a member of a local dragon boat team. This was where I invested my time and my love. My friend Joanne…
