Posted on 17 Mar 2021   by CY

Foldable Bikes – Part 2

Posted on 3 Jan 202125 Jan 2024   by CY

Our first post of 2021! Beyond our certainty that we needed two bikes and of the foldable variety, we knew otherwise little about bikes themselves. At this point, and several days after picking up the LitePro and 3Sixty, we’re still

Year in Review – 2020

Posted on 29 Dec 202029 Dec 2020   by CY

It’s December of another year, and time for me to write a summary post of the tech toys I picked up during the year. I’ve spent most of 2020 in WFH mode. But thankfully, our home from the start had

Continued from the last post! The other full day we had for our four day staycation was in Sentosa island, because, well, where else would Singaporean families bring their kids to during holidays. We’d initially planned for three activities: another

Foldable Bikes – Part 1

Posted on 21 Dec 202025 Jan 2024   by CY

The wife has been musing since last year whether we should enjoy Singapore in more outdoor fashion, especially given how much money the government here has pumped into building numerous parks, outdoor facilities and nature reserves and sanctuaries just so

Orchard Hotel Singapore

Posted on 17 Dec 202017 Dec 2020   by CY

It was pure coincidence that for both of our staycations this year, we’d booked hotels within a stone throw’s distance from one to the next. That said, the property we booked for our four day family staycation this week –

Spice Brasserie

Posted on 22 Nov 202025 Jan 2024   by CY

We were on a hunt for a buffet lunch for our wedding anniversary staycation, in part curious how buffet dining experiences have changed since the start of Covid 19. And after the usual checking around for timings and pricing, settled

Orchard Rendezvous Hotel

Posted on 22 Nov 202025 Jan 2024   by CY

At this point in the third week of November, it looks like we will indeed have spent the whole of 2020 in Singapore and not having stepped out for any kind of travel. At the start of 2020, we’d booked

Star Wars: Squadrons

Posted on 8 Oct 20208 Oct 2020   by CY

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a detailed review of a video game, but the hugely anticipated Star Wars: Squadrons is just too good a material for a pass on it! The three films in the Star Wars sequel
