Kranji Countryside
We didn’t get to spend as much time as we would have liked with the kids this one week of school holidays, what with my having to be back at work on several days and also that the car was
Universal Studios Singapore
I don’t think there are many Singaporean families who’ve yet to visit Universal Studio Singapore (USS) – our island’s very own theme park – since it’s opening 5 years ago. We’ve largely put it off because the kids, at various
Mi Max – Part 2
The TL:DR version of this long post about the new Xiaomi Mi Max phone is this: great phone especially considering its asking price and in my opinion, the best all-round Phablet at this price-point. But it’s also just too large
Mi Max – Part 1
I remembered when Samsung released their first Galaxy Note phone with a 5.3″ screen. A screen that size today is considered only ‘average’, but 5 years ago it was gargantuan, and many phone users wondered if the thing would even
The Minton – Post Renovation Two Years On – Part 2
Second part of our post two years into staying at The Minton, and this time round, my notes on what we’re planning for our mini-renovation project next year. To be fair; much of our apartment is still swimmingly fine and

While reading up for our Melbourne trip early on and doing general searches for itinerary planing for a family with kids, I was startled to find that the majority of local blogs seemed to be by ‘social media influencers‘ or
9 Days in Melbourne – Pegasus Apart’Hotel
I reckon our family is at a point where it’s not easy to find appropriate accommodation when we’re visiting urbanized cities for vacations. Basically, our kids are too young to be in separate rooms from us. For our Melbourne stay,
9 Days in Melbourne – Itinerary Retrospection
The 10 days vacation – not 9 on account that we left Singapore on 12 Jun SUN and landed on 21 Jun TUES – was really our family (with Peter)’s fourth vacation in the last 1.5 years. The previous three
Melbourne – Day 9 – Queen Victoria Market, Flagstaff Gardens and Homebound
Our last day of our stay in Melbourne. Pretty much free and easy for the day, and after four days of rain, the weather was decent and sun out for good parts of the morning too. Our activities were planned
Melbourne – Day 8 – Exploration and Such
Day 8 in Melbourne saw more round the clock rain throughout, with low mist layers occasionally blanketing the city up till the late morning. We still had a few more items left in the relatively busy itinerary – including going
