Nippy November

A cold November it has been in the evenings for the past 2 weeks, hence “nippy”.  It had been so cold in the rainy evenings that I could forego the air-conditioning for a couple of hours and only switched them on before hitting the bed.  And November had surely been a very busy month too.

Don't Worry Be Grumpy

I just had one of the most amazing reads in quite a while.  It is a book by Ajahn Brahm titled "Don't Worry Be Grumpy".  I first learned of Ajahn Brahm when I was in Indonesia where he is very popular.  I would really love to meet him in person one day and have a photo taken with him.  It would be such a great honour to be able to see and shake his hands personally.  Ajahn Brahm truly is the most amazing teacher I've ever known.

Anyway, this book consists of many short stories which contains some messages and wisdoms.  Similiar to the Buddhist Jataka, but with a modern interpretation to better relate to our daily lives.   

There are so many great stories in the book that are sprinkled with humourous bits here and there, Ajahn Brahm dispenses Buddhist wisdom like a professional stand-up comedian.  

If you ever had the chance, you really should get some of his books.

Baker & Cook Dempsey

Long weekends are always wonderful.  It gives us that precious extra day to just enjoy some quality time with the family.  Although it was the exam week for Lincoln, we did have some time for a wonderful family brunch at Baker & Cook Dempsey on the Deepavali weekend.

Bukit Timah Fancy Kopi - Atlas Coffeehouse

I had a chance to visit Atlas Coffeehouse in Bukit Timah in late October.  Atlas Coffeehouse is located in Bukit Timah, 6 Duke's Road to be exact.  I've always wanted to visit Atlas for a long time and finally got the chance to do so last week.  For some reasons, Atlas is so famous that bloggers, and influencers from as far as Surabaya always made sure to visit whenever they are in Singapore.
