.....times of refreshing.....

I had a good day today, all thanks to my consecutive workouts and badminton for the past three days. I guess the feel good hormone was maintained in my system for the entire day today as I was feeling good, calm, sharp and enjoy the every moments of the day. Well, that's also the reason I can't do without exercise, even though I stilll had a tummy.......

Whenever I am back in JB, I can't help myself to the healthy and delicious wheat bun in kaya. If i am not wrong, this bread was made famous by an old coffee shop in Ayer Hitam, Johor. I have been there before and it was kinda crowded during one tea break. Well, I had this for breakfast, and a piece of it with a nice coffee was enough to give...

Last week was really a terrible week to be in Singapore. The haze climbed to an all time high of 401 PSI on a Friday afternoon and while driving out to lunch , I can see the entire town like shrouded with smoke with a bad visibility on the road. All of us seems like making it compulsory to wear a mask while going out, even just to get a coffee downstairs...

I can't seems to get enough of bak kut teh and I had another one today, after having one last Monday. It was a real hot day while we folks at the south waiting for the rain to come, a real heavy rain and thuderstorm to ease the haze as well as to cool down the climate. It was also not a good idea to have something hot during lunch but then, the taste...

I posted a blog last week that  I have entered a photo contest for photos taken at a certain organic park. Yesterday, the park emailed me that my picture has been shortlisted for the photo contest. I was both excited and frustrated. Why I felt frustrated is because the contest is based on the no.of likes in facebook for the photo instead of neutral...

While on the way back from Seremban last Sunday for Father's Day celebration, my family and I decided to  stop-by the Foochow rich town of Johor, Yong Peng, for a simple dinner. Initially, we wanted to go the well known corner lot coffee shop (before turning to the NE highway), Hock Swee Hin restaurant, but they are closing around 9pm. Thus, we...

It was a hazy Monday yesterday and  the weather was humid and hot! Anyway, that doesn't deterred us from enjoying the famous Soon Huat bak kut teh at Taman Sentosa in JB. After fetching my little princess from kindie as well as sending my son off to school, we reached a crowded and hot coffee shop. It was really a queue there and getting a seat...

Yes, I know it's Monday but the good news is I am on leave today. :) So, while the folks are waking up early to go to work, my weekend extended for another day. hehehe.... Not to be mean here, here's three of my favourite macro shots taken at the Gardens by the Bay to brightens up your day and lift up your blues!! My all time favourite pink rose! I...

When I was in Zenxin Organic Park two weeks ago, I saw a poster on a photo contest where they will choose winners of pictures taken at the park. Since I brought my DSLR, I decided to give it a try and took as many photos as I can, so that I can pick a good one for the contest. After running through  the pictures, somehow I decided to enter this...

After I had a char kway teow last Saturday, I seems to yearn for another plate these few days. Well, maybe I was trying to be on diet and didn't had it till recently. The plate I had (below) was okay but it makes me drooled about the char kway teow I had in Kulai months ago, at a humble coffee shop. oh...when I posted this pix, I really need...

I was feeling kinda mentally and physically tired today, with the latter due to two consecutive days of running and the former due to lack of sleep. Thus, I decided to skip workout tonight. I went straight to a Japanese Ramen restaurant at a shopping centre near my place and order a miso ramen, chawanmushi and a hot green tea. The meal was refreshing...

This is the first time I tried Old Town's tea sets though its been around for some time. I thought it's a good idea, to serve small portions of noodles during tea so that it's not so full but still enjoyed the food. Anyway, depending on the branches, I still find their coffee is one of the best around town. Steamed toast with kaya & butter and...

I am not a good photographer but I must admit I love macro photography. While at Zenxin Organic Park last week in Kluang , I captured some of my favourite macro moments. I felt that it's not easy to capture insects sticking to petals as they will flew away when you are near them but voila...I managed it. I didn't really possessed a good macro lens...

I really thought it's a good idea to bring the kids closer to nature and Zenxin Organic Park in Kluang, which is kids' friendly, was a good choice! My kid was asking me to bring him there to join the short tour around the park and I thought why not, as I only needed to spend around  RM5-8 for the tour for each person. It's so much cheaper compared...
