Mrupupup got invited to attend the Panasonic Cooking Workshop held at Panasonic in Bedok South area. The workshop was fun and learnt new trick for cooking. The cooking demonstration showed a lot of Panasonic cooking things like microwave oven, bread maker and blender, all useful for easy cooking at home. Good tips from the workshop: 1. Never use a metal plate/bowl in microwave oven which will cause sparks and spoil the microwave oven 2. Use yoghurt and milk plus fruits and mix in the blender to make a wonderful smoothie drink 3. You can cook an egg in the microwave oven by wrapping in aluminium foil and place the wrapped egg in a bowl of water to boil. Great day - enjoyed freshly made bread, buns, yam cake and nice herbal chicken. Thanks Panasonic and Channel U!

The founding father of Singapore - Mr Lee Kuan Yew- would be dearly missed by all Singaporeans. Below some pictures of the scenes of the funeral and all walks of life going to Parliament to pay their last respects to the great man and hero of Singapore. Mr LKY would always be dear in our hearts and he would rest in peace after the years of hard work building up Singapore. Proud to be Singaporean! Majullah Singapura! Progress Singapore! Thank you and with great gratitude to Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Mrupupup's Blog, 2015 March.

I like Mr Baguette. Located at Golden Mile Hawker Centre, along Beach Road #B1-51 store number. As the name of the store implies, the humble store sells baguette (French bread cups but in smaller version) that are filled with different toppings like egg custard, red velvet, tiramisu and many flavours. The prices are reasonable about $1.50 to $1.80. The baguette bread came in a small bread cup, eat it slowly or you would get your mouth and even your nose stuff with the fillings (haha, mrupupup's nose got red velvet filling once). Mrupupup also bought Mr Baguette's garlic bread which was very crispy and nice. If you ask Mrupupup, the fillings with egg custard and red velvet were the most yummy! Eat the baguette while it is hot- super nice!

Thanks to the good people from DBS Bank - Mrupupup went on a 2 hour abseiling workshop at Climb Asia Climbing Centre, located Civil Service Club Tessensohn, 60 Tessensohn Road Singapore. It was great fun and tiring day with abseiling. Mrupupup felt it brought a spark in life to go beyond the comfort zone of life! Mrupupup learned the basics of abseiling and experience the thrill of abseiling down a 11m outdoor tower.  Abseiling sure kicked start the new year with fun and adventure, and help spark change in life. The abseiling event was in conjunction with DBS Bank's new SPARK campaign “Igniting Possibilities, Sparking Joy”. For more information, visit: www.dbs.com/spark . Thanks DBS Bank !    

Alfero Artisan Gelato at Orchard Gateway #B02-06 got the most yummy Gelato Ice Cream on the island. With a voucher for $5, Mrupupup tried out the Gelato at Alfero Artisan Gelato. Mrupupup looked at the various tubs of Gelato. The tubs were chilled and hidden inside those tubs were various flavours of Gelato. There were flavours of hazelnut, durian (premium), chocolate, berries and many more. As we were trying to match the flavours for two scoops, Mrupupup ordered the Matcha Green Tea and yuzu flavours. These two flavours - one sweet (matcha) and the other a bit sour (yuzu fruit). The combinations was yummy and smooth. With the voucher, mrupupup paid only $0.90 of the $5.90 price. Mrupupup also had a nice seat inside the shop which was crowded on a weekday night. People were just chatting over the Gelato and having a good time. Oh, taken from the table-note about Gelato as compared to normal ice cream, Gelato contains all natural ingredients which gave a richer & smoother tast

Mrupupup attended the AFF Suzuki Cup Trophy Tour at the Kallang Wave Mall. It was superrrr cool to see the AFF Suzuki cup up close and check out the Singapore Lions.

  Shinkansen Japanese Bullet Train is a very pretty train. Mrupupup took the Shinkansen a few times and it never fails to amazes Mrupupup.   Mrupupup on this day took the Shinkansen to travel from Tokyo to the northern cities of Japan. Once inside the cabin of the Shinkansen, one would be in awe of the cleanliness of each seat. The cabin was also absolutely so 'peaceful' once the train pulls off from the platform. The bullet train would travel at speeds of 300km/hr. However, one would not feel the speed but the steadiness of the ride.   In the cabin, Mrupupup would look out the window and see the wonderful country side and built up areas of Tokyo. Mrupupup would be fascinated by Japanese society with its neatness, peace, zen and orderliness. Even in the Shinkansen train, one should not talk in a loud manner.   Zoom. The ride would take one to another city in 30mins. Before you knew it, you are ready to alight from the train. Oh, the music of the station stoppin
