Tour Around Singapore - Bukit Batok (Quick Read)

 

 

 



Date With Myself - September edition (Long Read)

Last time if I am clearing more than 2 days AL, I would just spent it at home. As time goes by, I was thinking how stupid it was to waste the precious AL. Furthermore, I feel like I'm the only one who uses my AL to be at home when the rest will use their time for their own self.  

Anyways, this time I had 2 days to myself. Was planning to spend the first day all to myself and the second day at home to prepare for the next working day since I'm taking Tuesday and Wednesday off. 

Started off exploring a little bit of Rochester area and the greenery there:

            


Next, met up with sister for lunch at her workplace and she brought me around:

 

 
 
 



I had other plans lined up but the weather had other plans. Since where I wanted to go are all open air spaces, I ended up visiting the newly renovated cave-like library at West Mall:



 

I also made sure I read at least 1 book while I'm there and I chose this:

 
                                                                       What a coincidence!
               

 

A book with reminders that we tend to overlook in our everyday busy life.

Planned to continue my exploration time again the next day but the weather disrupted my plans yet again. Went mural hunting around Jurong East while waiting for parents for our lunch:

 

  

  

It's always nice to have some time to myself. 

No rush, no expectations. Just exploring and feasting my eyes.

From Bollywood to Kdrama and now Cdrama - Quick Read

Grew up watching and loving Bollywood until they started to be Hollywood. Salman Khan fan forever!

Been years since I watch a proper film. Miss the essence of Bollywood films - the songs, dance, beautiful and colourful traditional costumes. I know the gen z actors and actresses now but can't think of one film of theirs that left any deep impression. Sometimes I'm glad I was able to follow Bollywood during their peak era. 

Later on I found the fascinating world of kdrama and their 16 episodes drama stories. The handsome MLs and pretty FLs and OSTs kept me going. 16 episodes means I could watch one show after another while collecting all the handsome oppas and doensang names along the way. 

Now it's 2026 and I stumbled onto cdrama and stanning Liu Yuning fast. Finding articles about him, checking out videos on him. Smiling silly to myself watching his funny streaming videos. Help! This feels somewhat similar to when I was stanning Salman so hard last time.  

Still very much into kdrama. Am still an avid fan of older Bollywood songs and films especially the 1990s to 2000s.

Random Musing - Quick Read

 


My younger self would not be brave enough to take the lift let alone to high floors like this. 

Now, the higher it is the more I hope I get to take scenic photo from the top to capture the surrounding. 

People do change I guess.
