Brio...

I am a nocturnal...
10% awake in the morning...
Restless during noon...
Sleepy after dinner...

But hyper-active after midnight...
What is wrong with me!!!

Anyway...
Buffet always make me happy!!!

Was surprise by the full-house...

Typical Singaporean i guess...

Who doesn't go for 50% off deal...

Philatelic Museum...

When i was a kid, i remembered vaguely i would cut off every of this stamp on the letters posted to the house...

Thereafter i would collect every single stamp i can find and using my hard-earned pocket money to buy stamps...

But after primary school, interests were diverted and subsequently my only stamp book was lost...




So it was like taking the ride from back to the future...

Going through from the past to the present of the small tiny piece of print on the right hand side of the letter...



Don't we just love to post letters...
Can't remember when was the last time i posted a letter...

Maybe in the old age period when the dinosaurs still existed...

Letterbox itself have changed so much...

Was surprised by a lampost letterbox that was about 2metres tall...

Or even a drive-though letterbox...

Over time, stamps have flourished, undergoing many changes in terms of shape, size, content, colour and even purpose..

Now, in their own little way, they carry cultura, economic and political messages between countries they travel, depicting the history, the successes, the hopes and aspirations, and the unique traditions of their country of origin...

After the history about stamps & mails...
We were intrigue to stamps from across the region...

Brought me back to the days where i was facinated by the degree of detail on everypart of the stamp...

I got the urge to steal all the stamps and paste it all over my room...

Then everything i got to know about Singapore Post...

Somehow being a postman in the past looks everybit like a boy scout...

Funny hat, greenish-brown uniform with long socks that run all the way to the knees...

The only cool part is that they ride a vespa...

Apart from being all stamp-y...

The cartoon and action hero stamps kicks in...

Everyone wants to be a Superhero...

It naturally became a playground for us...

So here is how the clowning went...

Everyday we walk through life, overlooking about the little things in it...

Its just like a stamp...

Small but mighty...

Without it, a letter is just a piece of paper with words on it...

The Ship...

This might just be Captain Jack Sparrow's territory...
Treated to a shippy experience...

Lucky there was no sea sick...

And i just remembered my cruise trip when i was a mere teen...
Can say it was a boring trip...
Maybe its because it was all about going arcade and pretty much that only...

Its like wine...

As you grow older, you enjoyed the slow pace on the deep blue sea...

I will definately give cruise another shot...

But for the meantime, this is good enough to retrace some old cruising affair with my parents...

Hay Yeah Captain!!!

The Way I Am...

It always makes me wonder...

My 1st impression given is always a big bad X...

Playboy, Gay, Womanizer always seems to be tagged onto my skin...

Am i really that bad?

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love...

Its the big day for Damien & LPC...
It comes as quite a big surprise...

Seeing LPC grown from a little girl to one that now having a heavy responsibility...

It has come a long way and a clear justification that we are getting old...

Marriage is a knot that ties two string together...
I got goosebumps when they were exchanging vows...

And who says its always the case of the girl getting nervous...
Damien was literally shaking during the whole process... Who doesn't...

Throughout, everyone was just snapping pics with the couple...

Guess we have cultivate the Art Of Camwhoring...

And you can indeed see a glow in them that is undescribable...

Indeed, marriage is the milestone journey of one's life...

The happiness and experience can never be put into words...

Eagerly waiting to meetup with little Damien...

I am a Steamed White Dog...

I am totally addicted to getting steamy...
Locking myself in a steam room every other day is my latest hobby...

Its way better than sauna...

I feel totally relax and detoxed after that...

And here's...

My...

Other...

Indulgence...

My sleep clock have totally been haywired...

Getting restless in the day...

Sleepy right after dinner...

Hypeactive after midnight...

Need to be re-adjusted badly...

Cracking up Art Fest...

The Art Fest ended in spectacular fashion pulling through to the heartlands...
Trying to woo the mass crowd and broaden people's perspective of the 3 simple word that is so hard to decrypt A.R.T...



It was not the usual fireworks that u see, where u embace from the moment it started and then ending in spectcular style...



Started with videology on the centre tube...
The heartlanders were already waiting impatiently for the flamboyant fireworks...
But it was the unexpected flames and little firework here and there that was brought along with the story...



Then the finale...
With the firework was right on top of us, we were tossing and turning finding the exact location of the firework...



By far the weirdest but complete firework display...
Mixing music, video, acting, fireworks, crackers, sparkers all together...

Peaberry & Pretzel...

Came across 'Peaberry & Pretzel'...
Caught my attention but my mind was brought into a state of confusion...
What's the connection between them...
I googled to really find out the answers...

Peaberry - Coffee beans that are grown alone in a single cherry that had a very concentrated aroma and flavour.

Pretzel (or bretzeln) - Traditional German baked snack twisted into a unique knot-like shape, to liken the arm position taken by monks in prayer.



They seems so distant...
But they do have a common interest...
That is......
They satisfy my sweet-tooth...

Caged...

I am feeling breathless & lost...

Handbook on JB...

Being a mountain tortise...

I always thought JB is just about city-square, the mall that sell tonnes of dvds in hideout clothing shops and taman garden for their seafood...
Finally beside the cheap movie tickets and food, there's more than JB that meets the eye...

Starting my tour in JB:
1st stop: Jusco...


Anyway its just a department i didn't knew existed in JB...
Typical department that holds brands like topshop, CK, etc...
Still i manage to get some great steals before heading out...

Left the over populated city to the suburb area...

Was kinda excited...

Seeing how its like to be a "NSF" in Malaysia...

And they only need to serve for 3 months and thats it...

And there are girls too...

Here's Ivan in the "cool" uniform...

Simply because i don't know how to describe it...

Haha... Kinda cute in a way...

More suitable for the navys...

The bunk:

Which look more like a chalet...

Dim sum time on a scorching hot day...

Authentic with home-cooked taste...

Somehow caught in the mind why dim sum push trolley is getting lesser and lesser...

Finally its shopping time...

I know not alot of guys out there likes shopping...

But i am a shopholic...

Was bought to 2 contemporary shops, that don't just sell clothing...

Where you guys bringing me???

That Cafe lo...

Which one?!?

Thats' Cafe la...

I was like ".........."

Finally i understood...

By far the best cafe in JB...

Maybe its my love for vintage...

Maybe its the place where you can chill, eat or shop all in one time...

Its amazing how the owner bring Art+Music+Food&Drink + Shop together...

Everything were pretty much vintage-inspirated...

It gives you this nostalgia feeling...

Laid back with its signature smoothies and jazzy tune by your eyes...

Its the perfect weekend mood...

There is also a monthly mini flea market...

I always thought people in JB doesnt know how to dress (Ops...)...

Finally found the place where the well dressed gathers...

Its almost identical to That's Cafe but Roost is divided into 3 parts...

Its like a old run-down shop on level 1 & 2 where you can eat noodles you find in the coffeeshop and drinks served in mini buckets...

Yet when you proceed in, you will find a slick little shop that sells one of a kind stuffs personnally picked by the owner...

What's more, there is a mini-hair saloon in it...

So now you can eat+chill+shop+trim your bang all in one...

Maybe i should be a boss one day and open one here in Singapore...

It might turn out to be a hit...

End of tour...

Shall visit it real soon...
