On every Friday between 8pm-10pm in the Singapore Science Centre, the Observatory would be open for the public to gaze at stars and planets in the sky. The Obervatory is a big telescope and it would open out to the sky to see planets in our solar system. There would be other types of telescopes, albeit smaller ones, which help to see the stars and moon up close. The stars would look like tiny diamonds on the telescope. Do try and visit the Science Centre for a star gazing experience.

There is a new eating place named Careshop de Cafe which is located at 70 Bendemeer Road, Luzerne Building, which also has an 'Audio House' outlet there. The place is a really quiet and you can have a meal during the weekday evenings with minimal disturbances. We went there as a group of 4 and in the cafe there was only one other couple having a meal with white wine. We had baked rice pastas, spicy ramen bowl and japanese bento rice. I like the eating place's decorations which makes the cafe look happy.

Had a rare chance to attend the 'Invite Mr Wright' launch event held in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. Mr Ian Wright is the famous TV host on Travel and Living Cable Channel (TLC).

Al Dente restaurant located at Colours of the Bay, Esplanade, Singapore, serves fine Italian food. Well, we had dinner at Al Dente. We were there to try out their thin crusted $10 pizzas which were on promotion. We had the salmon pizza and anchovies (salted fish) pizza. Pretty nice and love the thin crusted pizza taste. Nice place also for a conversation with your loved one.

Tried out the boat ride in the Singapore Zoo recently. The boat glides slowly in the Seletar Reservoir which is next to the zoo. Really enjoyed the peaceful boat ride. The boat ride was cooling and was a respite from the hot day at the Singapore Zoo. Boat ride costs about $5 per person - unlimited rides for the whole day. omar - the boat boat ride  chimp working for food at the log animal show love the facial features balancing act - striped black and white child on the boat  mousedeer Proboscis Monkey Colourful reptiles/lizards

Had a nice meal of MOS burger at Toa Payoh Hub. Had the Teriyaki chicken burger and ebi prawn burger with their thick fries and grape soda. Posted a video of the meal live from MOS Burger! The video had a funny dialogue from Mrupupup.

Had a nice dinner experience at 15 Minutes which is a comfortable eating place located in Lasalle College of the Arts (McNally Street Singapore). The arts/music/design cafe place has a mixture of long wooden benches and tables which brought me back to memories of old school days of eating with friends in the tuckshop. '15 minutes' serves a wide variety of food. We had the chef's burger and 'pomodoro mushroom & nuts' penne pasta (taste unique and nice). The people in the cafe were all relax and having conversations through out the evening. Like this place because there a creative vibe which I totally appreciate. Nice, Nice! Quote from Andy Warhol (famous artist) "In the future, everybody will be world famous for 15 minutes". The cafe lives up to its name by allowing people to be famous for 15mins through creative arts like playing music at the cafe.
