Seashell Park
When my wife and I first moved to Pasir Ris we noticed that there are lots of parks in the area. That’s great, because we enjoy taking walks, or jogging. Lately, we don’t seem to have time to just wander around on weekdays, but the last two Saturdays we’ve made sure to get out of…

Cults in Singapore
Cults can be dangerous, socially disruptive elements in society. As such they should be treated with extreme care, to ensure that they’re not planning anything crazy, like blowing something up or destroying the local playground. When in Singapore, be aware that the following cults have been spotted hanging around a bakery in Pasir Ris: The…

Auntie Wants Her Coffee
(Image Source: Coffee in Malaysia) This is just something short that I wanted to mention. Last night my wife and I went up to the shopping area at around midnight to pick up a few things. There’s a 24 hour Shop ‘n’ Save there! Afterwards, we dropped by the hawker so I could get a…

Is Starbucks Really That Great?
I used to be a pretty big fan of Starbucks. I would stop by one when I had time, or when I happened to be near close-by, to get a cup of “fancy” coffee. I didn’t go often, because of the price, and because there usually wasn’t one that close to where I lived. What…

Downtown East Mall, Pasir Ris
[Edit: I found out later that the part of the mall that these photos is from is actually called E-Hub. Though I think it is part of Downtown East, there is half again as much mall as this that I completely missed. When I make an updated post I’ll leave a link here to it.]…

Bizarre Ritual With Snake and Incense
My wife and I were walking down the street in Pasir Ris, intent on exploring the area. We spent most of last weekend moving our stuff, so there wasn’t much time to do anything special. As we walked by these two guys, I heard a snapping sound, so I stopped to take a look at…

Exercise Equipment For The Elderly
This is just something odd I saw while at the shopping center near my new place. I was leaning against a rail while my wife was using the ATM, and I noticed this sign behind me. I thought it was amusing so I snapped some photos. Apparently, the children are supposed to hang out on…
