  • Cat Export Preparations Update #6

    Things are going right on schedule.  We had kind of a hang-up on Saturday with taking the cats to the vet because it was a public holiday.  I didn’t even realize it!  The vet was closed.  Someone let me know on Friday night.  Coincidentally, it was the person that recognized me from my blog at…

  • Cat Export Preparations Update #5

    It’s almost time to go and rather than winding down, things are winding up, especially our stress level.  There are only a few things left to do, in regards to the cats, but it’s still troublesome. On the 28th, the carriers showed up as scheduled, which was a relief.  It’d be time consuming to try…

  • Why The Philippines?

    This is a question my wife has asked me on more than one occasion.  It seems to boggle her mind that I would really look forward to moving there.  The Philippines is a ‘poor’ country and many Filipinos strive to find ways to leave and find what they consider a better life abroad.  There’s something…

  • Japanese Sesson Grill at Manpuku, Tampines 1

    We’ve gone to Manpuku quite a few times, but we still haven’t tried everything the place has to offer.  That’s not so much for lack of opportunity, but lack of desire.  You see, Manpuku as an establishment has slowly been going downhill. When Manpuku first opened, the place was packed all the time.  It was…

  • Cat Export Preparations Update #4

    Another piece of the puzzle has fallen into place.  I was having an issue getting the export permit from Singapore because I couldn’t get the AVA’s site to work.  It was a mix of problems that started with the site being horrible in terms of navigation and ease of use.  It was harder than it…

  • Tampines (Edit: Pasir Ris) Library Groups Cats in With Roaches and Rats On Poster

    This poster is on display in the Tampines Pasir Ris Public Library branch.  While I wholeheartedly agree with the message, that it takes everyone to keep the city clean, I disagree with the images used to portray the negative consequences. This poster implies that cats are disgusting pests, on the same level as roaches and disease…

  • Cat Export Preparations Update #3

    Well, we’ve encountered two hang-ups.  One isn’t so bad and one is making me want to claw my face off from frustration. I received the airline certified cat carriers this afternoon but there was a problem.  They were smaller than what I’d thought when I originally bought them.  They looked roomy and more than adequate…

  • Cat Export Preparations Update #2

    We are well under way! Last week I went to the pet store in White Sands and found IATA certified Ferstar travel carriers that will meet our needs.  They were a bit pricey at 75 bucks apiece, but since they’re airline certified I know we’ll be able to use them multiple times in the future,…

  • Graffiti At the Somerset MRT Skate-Park

    The most used entrance and exit for the Somerset MRT station is the one that opens into the new 313 @ Somerset mall.  Even before that mall was there, that entrance was still the most used since it opened onto Orchard Road, which is the main shopping strip in Singapore.  I actually never even knew…

  • Kim Garry: Hong Kong Restaurant

    On Wednesday I went to meet my wife for a late lunch and she recommended we try out the Kim Garry restaurant that’s on the basement level of Tampines 1. I’d never had Hong Kong style food before, at least that I know of, so I was willing to give it a shot. When we…
