Rawa Notes
Ling’s absolutely right about the kind of impression our Medang trip left on me. In fact, the whole experience of that island left me with a terrifically stinko feeling that immediately after that trip in June, I resolved that to
Rawa Rendezvous
I thought I wouldn’t visit this paradise island again. Tucked away somewhere in the vast expanse of the South China Sea is a tiny, idyllic isle that sparkles in its crystal-clear, turquiose waters. The sun is often shining there and
A Seaside Getaway
The both of us have just returned from a trip at Pulau Rawa, a relatively unknown little island but with absolutely adoring beaches. We took close to 1029 pictures on two cameras, and it’s going to take a long while

Vegetable Dumpling noodles @ Rivervale Mall Funnily, nearly 10 months after moving to our home at The Rivervale, Ling remarked to me just the other day she’d prefer not to eat at Rivervale Mall foodcourt. Apparently, it’s because the smell
Luncheon Meat
I can’t recall exactly why luncheon meat is unhealthy food but it has been my belief since I started teaching. Like any protein of animal origin, you can be certain that saturated fats and cholesterol are present in luncheon meats
Porridge 101
Sweet potato porridge @ Home Well, this entry should be flagged “by demand”.:) Seriously, as what Ling told me the other day, sweet potato porridge is known here in Singapore as a “poor man’s food”, largely because of the very
Ah di => Uncle => Ah Pek
It’s funny to think of it sometimes, how as one grows older, one’s label changes. Specifically, over here in Singapore at least, when you’re young (sort of), people around you call you “Ah di”, or little brother. When you’re older,
All watery
Vegetable rice @ Hougang Mall Kopitiam Most of the fourth level of Hougang Mall seemed to have been undergoing renovation like forever. The area had been pretty much partitioned off for several months, which left the both of us guessing
