I was in Singapore over the weekend – for a wedding. Haven’t been there for almost 2 years.

Quite frankly, Singapore is not really my favorite destination but I had to be there for a wedding – an invitation I could not escape. I had to drag my feet!

The wedding was small and quite intimate. Only family and very close friends. I was honored to be invited. It’s like a reunion of a big family and a bunch of close friends and business friends.

Wedding is not really my forte – I seldom do weddings – I only do family and close friends wedding – Gratis. This is one of those.

Overall, it was a good trip. I got to know my friend’s family better, great catching up with old friends and made some new ones.

Before leaving for the airport, I had a couple of hours to kill hence an intense 3 hours retails therapy. Great Singapore sale was not bad. I think I over indulged myself. I shall not shop until next year.

The Kiasu-land Got It Right!

What can I say?

I hate to admit it,

but if



Malaysia - Boleh!



The Kiasu-land - Been there, Done that! (and perhaps kept the tee shirt too! - quote unquote: DECKY)

I landed at Changi, picked up my hand luggage from the overhead compartment, crossed the aerobridge, put my hand luggage on the small trolley, well positioned signage lead me smoothly to the immigration counter, stamped my passport, proceed to the carrousel to pick up my luggage, walked through the green lane, hopped into a taxi, reached the hotel without machet, checked in and voilà! I was in my hotel room!

No waiting at all!

At least I had the time to try the wide-angle lens loaned by Mr. D70s before having drinks and dinner with my Aussie partners.








A little note:

I only like the efficiency of this city-state, just that.
The city lacks of spirit.
Everything is done for money and business.

A comment given by a foreigner:

Singapore perceives itself as a developed western city. But, I, as a foreigner do not think Singapore is a western city. It lacks spirit, everything is highly regulated and sterile.


I personally feel like living in a Big Boarding School!
