2012 Singapore Trip Day 1: Gardens by the Bay

Just came back from my four days, three nights Singapore trip this year yesterday late evening thinking maybe it's time to post some updates on what I did over the holidays in Singapore.


Well, I started from to drive from 11 something on Thursday night after having coffee session with my parents to Kuala Lumpur to pick my brother at his apartment before continue the journey to Singapore, which will take about 6 hours. Reached the second exchange link and then I directly drive to my younger sister's place which is at Tanjong Pagar. We are kind of lucky as the parking at Tanjong Pagar Plaza for the Hari Raya Haji public holiday is free.

Then we have our breakfast at Tom and Toms Coffee at Tanjong Pagar before taking the MRT at the Tanjong Pagar MRT Station to the Gardens by the Bay, and to my surprise, the Gardens by the Bay is just opposite of the grand Marina Bay Sands.

Ipoh House Renovation Progress - Part 4

It's been more than a month since I last update on my Ipoh house renovation progress - the last post on the renovation progress being at the Ipoh House Renovation Progress - Part 3 in July. Nevertheless, during August time frame, we do a lot of moving in stuff, like moving in those clothes that we rarely wear, disassemble and assemble my display cabinet which I bought in Ikea like one to two years back.

Anyway, during this time also we source our bar stools, dining table and chairs and other furniture which might deemed important in a home - well, the bar stools are important as I have a bar over there. It also took us a while to decide on the dining table and chairs set - after considering the budget and the size of the whole set, although the bar stools selection was like a swift due to I have it in mind what I wanted.

After that, I decided I have enough money to build another 2 built-in wardrobes - in my room and my sister's room and another table in my room. We ask our interior designer to draw out the plan for us and I feel that is what I wanted, so we asked him to go ahead and build the wardrobe. And finally, we have that installed as well.
