  • Singapore Budget Terminal Children’s Art Area

    If you haven’t been through Singapore’s Budget Terminal lately there’s a table set up for kids to play.  It’s one of those tables where you lay a piece of paper over an image made from raised edges.  You scribble a crayon (or pencil) across it and the picture carries over. It’s a lot of fun!…

  • Pastamania at Downtown East – GREAT Service

    This is just a short note I wanted to write to praise the customer service at Pastamania at Downtown East. Tonight, we went up there to have dinner and there was a problem with the pizza I ordered.  Within a few minutes the manager came out, addressed the situation, apologized for the inconvenience and made…

  • Our February Trip To Kuala Lumpur

    Last weekend (the weekend of the 5th – 7th), we went to Kuala Lumpur and over the last week I’ve been posting about stuff that we saw while we were up there.  We weren’t in KL for very long and we’d intended to try to make the most of our time to go see Putrajaya…

  • Singapore 2010 Chinese New Year: Luck, Decorations, Crowds & Surcharges

    Last year my wife and I missed out on seeing Chinatown at Chinese New Year’s completely.  Somehow, I got the date mixed up and we wound up going down there the day after the celebration.  This year I made sure to mark my calendar correctly. Luck We’d originally planned on eating at Bugis Junction, at the…

  • To My Dearest Wife, On Valentine’s Day

    We’ve had so many good times together and made so many wonderful memories, like getting caught in the rain on the lift at Sentosa, walking along Patong Beach at night in Phuket, and you chasing me around the dining room table in the Philippines with ‘balut’.  These are memories that I’ll always cherish and, even…

  • Kuala Lumpur Cats

    These are just some of the cats we saw while we were in Kuala Lumpur.   This is Mr. Jinja.  He’s a cat at Hostel Cosmopolitan.     This is Whinny, Mr. Jinja’s friend.  She also lives in Hostel Cosmopolitan.     This cat was hanging out in an eating area in Kampung Baru, begging…

  • Bukit Nanas and Dang Wangi

    This area is located along the path between the Bukit Nanas monorail station and the Dang Wangi train station. It looked really nice so I stopped to take a few photos.  I forgot to take a picture of the name of the building that was adjacent to this outdoor area, but it had something to…

  • Misquoted By The New Paper

    Relax – An inconvenient fee: “Another frequent budget airline traveller, Mr Bradley Farless, 28, a US citizen who is visiting Asia for work and leisure, had bought a pair of tickets from Tiger Airways for a flight from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur earlier this month. He said: “It is not a small amount when you…

  • Kuala Lumpur’s Monorail and Pickpockets

    In addition to a train system, Kuala Lumpur has a monorail system.  It’s fun to ride, but it’s really slow in comparison to a train, which makes me wonder why they bothered to build it at all.  I suppose the answer is that the distance between the stops is so short that having a train…

  • Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas Towers at Night

    This was our third visit to Kuala Lumpur but we’d never seen the Petronas Towers lit up at night.  We stayed in the mall below it late, browsing the book store, so when we were leaving we stopped by to snap a few photos. This was taken from the back side of the mall where…
