Usually, but not everyday, she will park herself near to the toilets of Simei MRT Station. Very reluctantly, Sam Mui told my BB that actually she stays in Bedok estate (2 MRT stops from Simei) with a

Backdate to Saturday, 20th May 2017 ~ One of our friends, Winston, decided to explore a newly opened park, the Coney Island Park and he invited us (SiaoMouse and me) along. Since this place is new to us, we were eager to do it. And it has been nearly 3 years that we did not go on our regular nature outing due to SiaoMouse's medical conditions. 3 major operations and a few minor ones to remove his

Dec, 2014 ~ This entry is a tribute & final farewell to Bidadari. In the recent months, a dark cloud of foreboding doom hangs over the head of many Singapore's nature lovers. Beloved Bidadari will soon be just a memory. Its wildlife faces a bleak future. Memory of Bidadari. For where & what is Bidadari, please refer to my previous entry on Bidadari: http://ihengbok.blogspot.sg/

7th - 11th October, 2014 ~ Want to get away from the stressful, hectic & unhealthy city lifestyle? Miss the sun, sand & the sea? Just a short distance from Singapore lies a blissful, idyll & beautiful island paradise named Pulau Besar. Perfect for a beach vacation! There are 2 islands of the same name in Malaysia. One is in the state of Johor & the other in the state of Malacca.

Backdated to 20th - 26th April, 2014 ~ Apologies to my readers. Due to a slight change of lifestyle, I haven't been updating my blog. So, now for the long overdue entry. In April, we (my guy & me) went vacationing in Lombok, Indonesia. Why Lombok? Why not the more popular Bali which is across a strait from Lombok? Well, mainly is we don't like crowd & rowdy places. Bali is over

Saturday, 8th March 2014 ~ On 27th January, we (my guy & me) went to The Cathay for the movie "I, Frankenstein". Before the movie, I bought an ice-cream. While eating it, we passed by a free photo booth provided by Cathay Organisation as a promotion for the movie. Out of curiosity & wanting a little fun, I posed for a pic with me offering my ice-cream to the Demon Prince which character

Early 2013 ~ Sandwiched between the picturesque domes of Gardens by the Bay and Marina Barrage is Satay By The Bay, a food court surrounded by lush greenery. With a pond beside it & an artificial river running nearby, it's quite a lovely place for eating out. Lush greenery Serenity Been there a number of times, but food was not what drew me there. It was also not the many

2013 ~ Lorong Halus, a favorite place for many birders (bird watchers & photographers). I'd been there only a few times as it's quite out-of-reach by public transport. Had to depend on birder friends who are willing to fetch me & my guy in & out of that place. Nevertheless, those few trips produced rewarding experiences & many nice pics of the wildlife there.Info on Lor Halus:
