Whoo!! I absolutely adore Moon and Brown from the LINE series of characters so I just had go check out the newly opened LINE Friends store in Garosu-gil. To get to the LINE Friends Store at Garosu-gil, take the subway to Sinsa Station (Line 3) and get out at Exit 8. Walk straight and after you past a Tous Les Jour (bakery) outlet, turn left … Continue reading Seoul Adventure: LINE Shop in Garosugil
From Haeundae Beach, it was only 2 subway stops to Centum City, Line 2 on the Busan subway system. Centum City houses the world largest department store that is Shinsaegae. To be honest, I have no idea how big the entire place is because when we came out from the subway station, it was connected to the building so it was only when we left … Continue reading Busan Trail: Centum City (센텀시티)
After a very satisfying lunch at Jagalchi Market (자갈치시장), we headed over to Haeundae Beach (해운대해수욕장). To get there, just take the Busan subway to Haeundae Station (line 2) and get out from either Exit 3 or 5 and just walk straight. You will see signs along the way that will lead you to the beach. It is a very lively area so no worries about getting … Continue reading Busan Trail: Haeundae Beach (해운대해수욕장)
We only planned for a 3D2N trip in Busan and it was alright, if we stayed for 4D3N, we would have a bit more time to stroll around more places in Busan. Busan is alright, though I must say that I prefer Jeju Island better. Anyway, the first place we headed to in Busan was the Jagalchi Market (자갈치시장). It’s the largest seafood port in Korea and … Continue reading Busan Trail: Jagalchi Market (자갈치시장)
It was a very harrowing week starting on 23 March 2015 when it was announced that our first and former Prime Minister, the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew had passed on. While I had known that his death was kinda eminent and it not exactly a surprise but it still was very upsetting all the same when death actually happened. I felt a very strong obligation to … Continue reading Back From a Mini Hiatus
Thank you Mr Lee Kuan Yew. And may your soul rest in peace. I’m not a politically-inclined person; neither do I know very much nor want to know much about politics but I think that is what all of us who has ever lived in Singapore, and not only Singaporeans and its Residents should say to him; whether you like him or not and whether you agree … Continue reading RIP Lee Kuan Yew and Thank You
Rainie Yang was in Singapore over the weekend to do a showcase at Shanghai Dolly on Saturday, 21 March 2015 and an autograph session at Compass Point on Sunday, 22 March 2015 in support of her new album 雙丞戲 (A Tale of Two Rainie). I obviously am not really into Chinese music but since a friend had an extra pass to the showcase, so I … Continue reading Rainie Yang Showcase at Shanghai Dolly, Singapore 2015 Post Mortem
Disclaimer: Me raving about the music of “In Each Hand A Cutlass” (IEHAC) has got nothing to do with how I know some of the members in the band. PS: please don’t sue me for stealing the artwork. 🙂 I’ve been a fan of “In Each Hand A Cutlass” I heard their previous album “A Universe Made of Strings”. I recall being blown away by what I heard. … Continue reading Late Nite @ Esplanade: “The Kraken” In Each Hand A Cutlass Live in Singapore 2015
Honestly, it still hasn’t sank in that One Direction came to Singapore and I went for the On The Road Again Tour. It just feels so unreal. This is the first concert that I bought tickets 9 months in advance for. It’s quite literally a record. Then again, it’s also one of the rare concerts that the tickets went on sale so early in advance. I … Continue reading One Direction On The Road Again Tour Live in Singapore 2015 Post Mortem
I went to the “Our Xin Yao Concert” at the Suntec Convention Hall on 3 March 2015. I know it is not common knowledge but I actually like 新谣 (xin yao). For those of you who don’t know, xin yao are “Singapore songs” and it is a uniquely Singaporean song genre. You can think of it as the Singaporean version of folk/country songs. Check out this song called 细水长流 (Friendship … Continue reading Our Xin Yao Concert, Singapore 2015 Post Mortem
