A Mundane May

So far May has been very boring except for some excitements back in my hometown - some idiot crazy terrorists bombings.... that was very sad really....

On the work front, things are picking up although those are quite easy stuffs, nothing like what I used to have back in my old department.  I've been struggling to keep myself awake in office as I'm just too bored at the stuffs I do.  Now, don't get me wrong, there are plenty of things to do.  Over the span of 4 months that I've been in this position, I have crossed out 50 items out of 57 in my tasks list (that is still growing).  But the difficulty level is just not challenging.

At home, I finally got a chance to visit an ice cream cafe I've been longing to try for quite some time: Creamier @ Tiong Bahru.  To be more precise it's located at 78 Yong Siak Street, near Cheng's 27 and Forty Hands.  It's amazing how they've been there for so long and it took me only last Thursday to visit.  I sure am a late comer.

Hello there Creamier!

Circus 1903

Last Saturday me, my wife and the kids went to see the circus at Marina Bay Sands, the circus show is called Circus 1903.  For the kids it was the first time they watched a circus while for me and my wife, circus nowadays is nothing like when we were kids.

After the intermission, the cast members were ready to continue

Farewell Inuka

On April 25 2018, Singapore Zoo has euthanized Inuka the polar bear.  Inuka holds the distinction as the first polar bear to be born in the tropics and lived to a ripe old age of 27 years, which is equivalent to 70 somethings years in human years.  Inuka had recurring ear infections, an injured paw pad, arthritis and dental issues which did not improve at all after initial treatments and hence, the vets took the hard decision to euthanize him.

More Batam Trip

This is the 2nd trip to Batam this year, right after last month's trip...  I swear, the more trips I make, the heavier I'll get.  I can't stop eating every time I get to Batam, there's just too many good food around.

Doesn't look as good as my earlier shot, they taste better than they look

Another Trip to Batam

Sometime in March I traveled to Batam again for more photography.  This time, its more towards food photography.  Besides it was March term break for Lincoln so I thought bringing him and Lindsay will be a good break from the monotony.

A Recap For February

It's been so long since my last entry, I had been quite busy lately.  I assumed my new position in my parent company, had to re-learn some new things, new stuffs to do while still doing my previous tasks, could say I was triple-capping and still do now, at least until end of March.

Despite the hectic working life, February was a month for celebrations; there was Valentine, Lindsay's birthday & my wedding anniversary.  Valentine was pretty simple as my wife settled for a stalk of rose: she and I have an understanding that we'll just go all out on our anniversary.

As for Lindsay's birthday, my little girl turned 5 this year, growing up so fast.

We got her favourite cake from Chef Yamashita, the Chocolate roll.  Not sure whether she likes the cake or the chocolate cream.  I'm not a big fan, but it's a good cake to be fair.
