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!).

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.

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.
