Carbonara at Megabites

July 13, 2010  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  One of my favourites in NUS is the Carbonara pasta at Megabites. It’s one of the foods that I will go back to if I’m in the mood for something more than mediocre for lunch. It’s actually not like their pasta is ...

New Yong Tau Foo at The Terrace

July 5, 2010July 12, 2010  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  Verdict on the Laksa Yong Tau Foo: Pass. That means, will probably come again. (I don’t sprinkle stars so generously…) It’s the new stall at The Terrace, the NUS canteen that is probably more commonly known as ...

Oh Dear Need To Start Computer Classes

May 29, 2010December 24, 2011  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  Oh no, someone’s kid knows how to boot up a PC and use a mouse at the age of two. Vanessa is already three. It seems we are a little behind time. But she’s quite the expert using Nokia touchscreen smart phones, ...

How to Get Free Pizza

May 18, 2010November 30, 2014  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  I heard about it from a friend. I didn’t try it on purpose to get free pizza, but I did get into the situation when the free pizza was offered. Not once, but twice. So it’s for real. But of course it is. It ...

T+3D: IPPT

May 5, 2010  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  As you might have heard, it’s ICT time again, and today’s the third day. It’s IPPT day. For the first time ever, I went with the over-graft hand grip, and cleared the station. I’ve been using under-graft ...

The Annual Evil is Here Again

May 4, 2010December 24, 2011  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  Yes, it’s ICT time again. This year with a slightly older Vanessa who can ask intelligent questions. Questions like: “Papa, you go army again?” Or: “Why need to go army?” On day one, she was amused ...

Visiting the Bird Park

March 20, 2010December 24, 2011  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  I recently visited the Jurong Bird Park. Yah, such an unlikely place for anyone to visit. Isn’t there like the new IR at Sentosa to visit eh? Well, it’s an excursion organized by Vanessa’s child care centre. ...

Baby Pull-Ups

March 10, 2010December 24, 2011  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  See what I mean about Vanessa being a gym kind of person? I went to the “fitness corner” (it really is in a corner…) with Vanessa. There was a proper pull-up bar for me, and while I was doing my own pull-ups, ...

Dance Class No More

March 8, 2010December 24, 2011  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  Vanessa had her last dance class today. At least for now. We’re not continuing her class because she doesn’t seem very keen about it. In fact, most of the time, she simply doesn’t follow the class at all, except ...

Failing Nasi Lemak Standards

March 7, 2010March 7, 2010  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  We were going to be at Lucky Plaza this morning, and I was looking forward to the Nasi Lemak there. It was the famed River Valley Nasi Lemak located in the basement of Lucky Plaza. It has been there for quite some time actually, ...
