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.

Had a wonderful lunch - Dim Sum at Yum Cha. Dim Sum consists of many side dishes either steamed or fried. However, many of the dishes are heavy in carbohydrates.

Thanks to the local telecoms company (Starhub), I got to see the dinosaurs exhibition for free and even stayed over night in the dinosaurs exhibition! The organised event was part of the Starhub cable TV channel - Fox channel 505's efforts to promote the latest cable TV block buster "Terra Nova" which is produced by Steven Speilberg and it is the most expensive television series on record. Every miniute of the TV series costs $200,000 to produce due to the high CGI effects in the show. Well, we had the sneek preview of the Terra Nova TV show and totally enjoyed the human tribe fighting against aggressive dinosuars like in Jurassic Park movie. It was really fun having the T-Rex dinosaur and other dinosaurs as company in the over night stay in the Singapore Science Centre. The 50 life like dinosaurs were real...

The Punggol area in Singapore used to be place filled many rural villages. Moving forward 30 years later the place is transformed to become a new and clean Punggol with nice ponds filled with lotus plants and places to fish, take a walk or gaze across the sea.
