Free And Easy vs Packaged Tour

July 12, 2008December 25, 2022  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  I recently had the opportunity to travel with someone who had never travelled free-and-easy before. On the other hand, I have never travelled on a packaged tour, at least not since when my parents brought me on holidays when I ...

Levi’s Jeans At Under $40

July 5, 2008March 24, 2009  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  This pair of Levi’s 514 jeans costs $219 in Singapore. Perhaps a little less with the GSS on, but probably it’s still going to be over $150. I find this horribly expensive to pay for a pair of jeans. I bought this ...

Playing On The Slide

July 5, 2008December 24, 2011  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  I brought Vanessa to the playground today, and put her on the slide. It’s her first time on the slide, and she was not sure what she was supposed to do on the slide. Initially, she held on to the sides and tried to inch ...

American Chinese Food

July 3, 2008June 4, 2016  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  This is the Chinese meal I had at Florida Mall last week. Looks nice, and good sized portions (possibly due to the fact that it was closing time). But did it taste nice? Actually, I thought it was not wonderful at all. I ...

Beef Noodles In Taipei

June 29, 2008May 11, 2016  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  The beef noodle soup at Taipei International Airport during my transit this morning. It was quite delicious. — Posted from my N95 ...

Subway So No Standard

June 25, 2008June 4, 2016  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  I like to eat all kinds of food. When I travel overseas, I have no compulsion to have to find Chinese food, or any familiar Singapore food. Oddly enough, this time in Orlando, I found myself eating a few meals of Chinese (the US ...

Disney’s Magic Kingdom

June 23, 2008February 17, 2009  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  This is the Indy Speedway ride at Disney’s Magic Kingdom at Orlando. Yes, traffic jam. After enduring daily traffic jams in Singapore, do I still want to experience traffic jams in the Magic Kingdom? No, I guess not. I gave ...

Day 2 In Orlando – Visit to SeaWorld

June 22, 2008February 17, 2009  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  Today is Day 2 in Orlando. As you can see, I’m kind of going to do a mini travel blog about this working trip to Orlando for the Cisco Live conference. I flew in to Orlando with a colleague. We did some shopping on Day 1. ...

Blogging From 10363m High

June 19, 2008May 12, 2014  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  I was quite wary of taking this direct non-stop flight from Singapore to Los Angeles. It’s almost 16 hours of flight time. But now as I sit here in the Executive Economy seats zipping past the Philippines at 864km/h, it ...

Japanese Dining Sun at CHIJMES

June 14, 2008August 20, 2016  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  This is the Sashimi Mori we had at Japanese Dining Sun at CHIJMES. It’s good and fresh. Though somewhat expensive, just shy of $40 for a modest portion. — Posted from my N95 ...
