A few weekends back, on a Saturday afternoon we were out for the customary "long walks". One of our favorite targets for such walks is the Queenstown library. Perfectly far from home, vast space to relax, cushioned chairs and BOOKS !!The travel section is a must-stop. But then, the next trip was (not the tense) gonna be Bali and that's quite far away. The guy came around with the gleaming eyes

The bliss and carefree moments of childhood .. Am afraid I do not have good enough words to write about it. Even the pictures aren't doing any justice. These are from my nexus, promise I will go on a photo shoot later on ..

People! Remember, yesterday night I was quite disappointed with the self. After writing, I thought I should really go on that walk. There is a 2k trail right beside my place. The guy was busy with something else, so I went walking with music. Well.. After a while I got bored with walking and thought maybe I should run so I can reach home early. So, I started running…. And for the first time in my

I left work today with plans to go shopping. But, then both of us were hungry. We just wanted to go to a quite place for dinner and we headed to the coffee club in Holland V.The place is good & food is delicious, but the service is too late. I ate the two whole pita pockets & side salad by myself! Thatz okay but,  Do you notice the fries in the picture ?? I finished them too :-(And the worst

I have this impression that if you live in Singapore for a couple of years, it is lame if you did not spend a day in Pualu Ubin. So, during the last long weekend, when it was a not-so-sunny day,  I geared up with a set of friends to explore Pulau Ubin.  The bumboat starts from the Changi ferry terminal in the Changi village. Its a $5 boat ride, return. There ain't any schedule, the boat leaves

A small cafe tucked in the inner streets of the city. On weekends, Tom N Toms is a quiet place for coffee and fresly baked pretzels. People can peacefully get their work done, or catch up with their reading and people like me can enjoy the food and drinks & be content by watching other people ;) Oh, by the way, we get free wifi there. Originally from South Korea, their Singaporean outlet is in

During a lunch hour, we were discussing food, diet and work-out. Eventually the discussion led to the question. What motivates you to lose weight? Instantly my pictures when I was in Japan and the time back in India were flashing in front of me. Oh wow ! I liked how I looked those days. I really really wish to be looking like that. I remember a lot of those clothes stashed in the corner of

Being so close to Chinese community has its own benefits. Learning few of their traditions, getting to eat dim-sum, getting public holidays on Chinese New year, enjoying the sales are a few of them. At the start of this Dragon year, my kind neighbours gave me this gift . I was so touched by the gesture & so happy :-) During the new year, people exchange oranges and tangerines as they symbolize

Pulau Langkawi is in Kedah, Malaysia. i.e, quite far away from Singapore. So, going there for just a weekend trip from Singapore is overkill. But the turn of events demanded us for a weekend trip. Being stingy while paying for transport is one of my traits. So, my ideal itinerary is to go to Penang (bus, train, cheaper flights, or if 4+ people rent a car from Johor and hit the roads), Spend a

Before the Chinese New Year long weekend, a few of my colleagues came to me asking for info on where to and how to travel and be in budget, if you have 4 days in hand. I had a tough time recollecting all the money saving interesting tips. The value for money hotels, the cheapest bus tickets & the innumerous numbers stored randomly in my contacts. Nickie says, it pays to be organized. That is

As part of healthy life style, I discovered that I should switch from my fave fried Kway teow to Vietnamese Pho. Likewise, I should introduce soups and salads into daily meals. Oh! So expensive they are, to be eaten at Soup Spoon or Salad Stop. Healthy food is more expensive to eat out, which brings me to my own kitchen. I decided to boil a soup. The recipe is here : 2 large carrots A bunch

Having a burnt pot or pan is so very common. The food tasting bad coz of it, is also common. But, how about breaking into huge fights coz of it ? Thats what happened in my house yesterday morning! I did a "root cause analysis" and settled for 3 reasons 1. The urge for tea, as soon as you wake-up 2. The habit of brewing tea while half-asleep 3. The responsibility division in the house -

Mumbai airport and the facilities there can be described in a single word as Terrible! Almost all the people who were having transit from International to Domestic terminal were stranded.

Me and my boyfriend were spending a whole weekend shopping in the city. Roaming around on Sunday nite we saw the walls of Singapore Arts Museum, got interested and walked towards it. Beside it was a temple. Seeing a South Indian temple and a Chinese temple side by side in the midst of the city skyline was curious enough. Even more curious was the sight in front of the temple.I noticed a small

This is the book, which shifted my level of reading to the next level. And I have this feeling that it would always remain in my all time faves list.In this novel, the autor Mr.Khaled Hosseini, focuses on mothers and daughters, and friendships between women. The story starts off programmatically and gains speed and emotional power as it slowly unfurls.Let me take the description from the book

If you are an Indian, you might have heard that few months back our government signed an agreement with ASEAN nations permitting them to export their goods to India.

From the first time I saw the song "Aawara Bhawrein .." of Sapne, the wish for playing in snow had been in my mind. But, never thought I would really be able to..In Japan, the new year week is celebrated as Golden week.. yezzz one week vacation. Adding up the weekends, a total of jolly 9 days ;) [Well.. am penning this down a bit late!]When I look back, the schedule seems awful. Daily, I was

I am a person infamous among my friends for having craziest of the dreams and nightmares. And the funny part is I remember most of them.

Yesterday, I got a letter from one of my dearest friends in India. Not an e-mail or a print-out! It was a simple hand-written letter, just like old times.When I read it, I felt like she was talking to me. The fact that she had written it out gave a very personal feeling.

The weekend before JLPT exams, we went to Kyoto. I wanted to write about this earlier.
