People met. Places visited. Moments that take my Breath away. Sweet Life in Singapore. Saturday, March 9, 2013. Conclave, Vatican Treasures, Sistine Chapel. This week marks another milestone in the Catholic Church. We are electing a new Pope! All eyes are turned again to the Vatican City, as the cardinals, all 177 of them, gathers into a conclave. Conclave is the private meeting when Cardinals elect a new pope. I think it is very exciting. If you’re a fan of Dan Brown, whose specialty is. This is a recen...

People met. Places visited. Moments that take my Breath away. Sweet Life in Singapore. Monday, April 20, 2009. We took the earliest PAL direct-flight to Beijing, which was 7am. It was a 3hour flight, after breakfast is served, one can peacefully slumber, as they turn down the window shades and lights. Good thing! Because I woke up 330am, to be at the airport 430am! From the airport, we went directly to our company-laboratory, for a tour of its modern facilities. We anticipated an early dinner, but ma...

Sweet Life in Singapore. Musings of a stay-at-home mother of 3. Friday, 17 August 2012. 10-minute Haircut. .Anyone? I'm fascinated by this barbershop that my hub and my sons frequent. QBhouse offers 10-minute haircut for 10sgd. The rates are the same for both adults and kids. It cost a little more than kiddie rates in the beauty salons (8sgd) but what I'm impressed are its efficiency, cleanliness and no-nonsense service. Photo from www.qbhouse.com. Then, I brought them to a local barbershop and they had ...

I've read about it in books, travel shows and magazines, but there's nothing like experiencing the real thing. The moment I stepped out of the train, and saw the streets. all in water.water.water! I said to myself, "My God. this is it! Water Taxis. I feel like a Bond Girl, riding in one. Can i give you a ride? While motorized boats now ply the canals; the...

A few days ago, I got a sweet message from a former high school teacher. I haven't seen her for quite some time. She was making lambing. To me If I'm not so busy. why don't I write something about Teachers. It will be Teachers' Day by October 7. Does she realize what she's making me do? Madam, Is there any particular thought, you want me to pursue?

Sweet Life in Singapore. Musings of a stay-at-home mother of 3. Tuesday, 11 October 2011. Ever had one of those experiences, when you're so "atat". Excited for an event, and then, the day fell short of your expectations? This is exactly what I recently experienced with the Singapore Grand Prix (SGP). The cheapest tickets are 168 SGD (5K Php) for the Walk-about. As the name says, you just walk-about. No seats, no snacks, no free little fans souvenirs. It's not bad, really. You're there for...The lousy pho...

People met. Places visited. Moments that take my Breath away. Sweet Life in Singapore. Sunday, February 20, 2011. My Koreanovela Chapter 1. Korea so called the Land of the Morning Calm is gaining lots of popularity as a tourist destination. When I was young, I knew very few things related to Korea. We did study the history of North and South Korea during high school. However, contemporary Korea used to be quite "in-distintive.". Until Koreanovelas, K-Pop and the Face Shop took the world by storm! It's a ...

People met. Places visited. Moments that take my Breath away. Sweet Life in Singapore. Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Beijing is the seat of the Imperial dynasties of long ago, and also center of the current government of China. If you're in beijing, it's imperative to visit the historical sites. You don't go to Beijing without learning a thing or two about chinese history. Even after 20 years or so, discussions over what transpired during the student crackdown at tiananmen square, remains hush-hushed. Our...

Sweet Life in Singapore. Musings of a stay-at-home mother of 3. Saturday, 2 March 2013. Scent from the Sentosa Flowers. If there's one more thing you can credit Singapore (aside from the cleanliness, the working system and extreme level of OCness ), they're really excellent in creating happenings and marketing them with aplomb. Even insignificant and minor activities, turn into tourism event, due to great communication plan and pervasive media exposure. Probably, I'm just comparing it to my country's Pan...
