I am a bad Singaporean. I finally made it to the Night Safari, some 14 years after it first opened, and plan to slowly make my way down the list of attractions which I haven’t been to in years (Sentosa, Bird park etc) and ones I’ve never been to (Vivocity - no eye rolling allowed [...]

Just when I began on my road to a vegetarian lifestyle and given up seafood I’ve taken to being fish food myself. This maybe cryptic to most but not to the few of you who’ve seen the write-ups on “Fish Therapy” in most fashion mags. Now for the unenlightened few its where you go sink [...]

Yes I am choosing to stick to the theme. Since the last post was of the blues and led many to think I was moping and morose I decided to clearly indicate that I’m back to feeling like my good ole self again. Melodrama should have been my middle name!
