Taiwan Lai Lai restaurant ( at Nex) lunch time 1 for 1 promotion had nice fish, cabbages, century egg tofu and pork slices with rice. Good prices during lunch time. The best part is that they serve Bubble Tea with the lunch set ! About $6-9 per person. Ichiban Sushi $5 tea set (till 5.30pm)- got nice soba noodles with  fried chicken nuggets or with beef slices. The best part was the nice rice balls that come along with the set.

Saw this Art piece/ art installation along Singapore Turf Club. Very nice.

Visited the Outward Bound Singapore (OBS) because I won a small photography contest. OBS is located on an island called Palau Ubin. The place trains future leaders and holds corporate events for companies wanting their staff to learn leadership. OBS is a peaceful place and useful for youths to learn more on leadership. The boat to bring us to OBS. Nice blue sky! OBS chalet. Clean and well maintain. The Jetty at OBS. The rice was execptionally soft and nice! Adventure!

Was invited to attend the birthday celebrations of Singapore Night Safari's One Year baby Asian Elephant name Nila Utama. The baby asian elephant was super cute! We enjoyed the birthday celebrations with the zoo providing us with special Nila Utama birthday cake, tea set with nice finger food and wonder tram ride around the night safari in their special gourmet tram. Super cool experience. Totally fun for adults and kids too! Singapore and Night Safari are world class attractions in Singapore. Nila Utama had a nice birthday cake made with carrots, fruits and vegetables! Do take your time to visit the Night Safari and say 'hi' to Nila Utama the baby Asian Elephant! Read more in the weblink below from the zoo: https://wrscomsg.wordpress.com/2011/11/20/young-prince-of-night-safari-turns-one/ Also you can have free entry to the zoo or night safari during your birthday. You can have a wild party special badge and nice cup of ice cream.

Do come and visit Singapore. The christmas lights are up along the famous Orchard Road in Singapore. The Christmas lights are blue and nice. Take a look at the elephant statues located along Ion Building in Singapore. For the overseas visitors to my blog, do come to Singapore for your holidays. Christmas tree in Takashimaya Singapore Sharity Elephant for Singapore. Nice cute mascot for charity.

Had the doriyaki handmade Japanese pancake from Nex Singapore. I always have the orignal azuki (black bean paste) flavour pancake. Doreamon also like Doriyaki.

There is nice place called Burger Shack located in King's Arcade building, near to Coronation Plaza in Bukit Timah. The place serves good hand-made burgers and nice desserts. The place run by the same people who own Island Creamery ice cream joint. That's why we had extra helpings to the ice cream- cookies and cream, chocolate! Yeah! Check out the place - we also had the 'original' burger, meatball spaghetti and root beer.

Had this special Wagyu beef set lunch at Vivo City Singapore - Tajimaya restaurant. The Japanese eating place was voted one of the best dining areas in Singapore for 2011. The wagyu beef was delicious and sweet to the taste. One can also grill corn, green peppers, melon and vegetables. The whole set was very nice and comes with 4 slices of salmon sashimi. Aftre eating the grilled Wagyu beef, we wanted to leave the beef taste on our taste buds and did not eat anything for awhile. The set lunch was about $25. Wagyu Beef slices for grilling

Well, this Japanese Food Tontei restaurant always has yummy food. Today ate the breaded black pig pork cutlet. We got to play with the grinder to grind out the sesame seeds for the tonkatsu sauce.

Nowadays, there are many new cafes in Singapore. Tried out this cafe named 'Drips Cafe' in Tiong Bahru estate. Nice decent latte with apple cinnamon tart. The cafe got a nice sky roof which lets in natural light and let one know that it is raining outside (it happen to rain today!).

Love the traditional bread in Singapore. No preservatives, just handmade bread. Can see from the picture rows of traditional bread made in Singapore. There are not many of these bread shops left in Singapore. Just love the brown colour and the good natural taste of bread.

There is a new park in Singapore named in the press as the 'Venice of Punggol' or 'Punggol Waterway'. Well, it is a new park in the eastern park of Singapore with a river running through it. The park looks nice and new. Like the design of the park, but may not be a 'Venice'. Please have a look at the pictures.

Real Steel- Super cool movie. The movie tells of a man and his son in developing a capable robot to fight in the world robots boxing contest. I like the story line with its ups and downs. The robots look really fantastic and how I wish I can own one of them.
