Spotted this at Downtown East. I am inspired to buy some Toberone to hang on my Christmas tres this year as ornaments. And Rocher too! The colouring of their wrappers is perfectly appropriate.
Walking Down The Aisle
My cousin got married over the weekend at the ACS Barker Road Methodist Church. What is most beautiful about a church wedding? If you ask me, it isn’t the exchanging of wedding vows. Nor the kiss that follows the unveiling
Oslo Radhus: Oslo City Hall
I have been struggling for weeks to get this post up. I log into WordPress, I type a few sentences, I delete them, I re-type them again, and then I go to bed, without ever completing the post. This is
Peekture: Unwinding At Home
Ever since moving back home 3 months ago, I have hardly spent very much quality time at home. Work has been going at break-neck speed lately, and I have been spending vast amounts of time in the office, such that
Peekture: Banana Crisps Burger
Mashed banana and crisps between burger buns. I thought this “combination”, for want of a better word, sounded and looked absolutely revolting. But strangely, it tasted quite good. The saltiness of the crisps went quite well with the sweetness of
Oslo: Fiskesuppe, Norwegian Fish Stew
Every time I flip open the menu at a restaurant in Oslo, I feel conflicted. Should I choose the mussels, or the oysters, or the fish stew? Due to the excruciatingly expensive prices, I tried not to order more than
Peekture: Mom’s Kiam Chye Pork Belly
There has been alot going on lately and I am feeling a little overwhelmed. The weekend didn’t make me feel much better. In fact, I felt pretty lousy today. My back was aching, my head felt woozy and I wanted
Oslo: First Impressions
The host of TBH’s business meeting gave us a couple of suggestions on accommodation, and we chose to stay in a 3-star Radisson hotel called Park Inn. The hotel is not a luxurious or fancy one, but it has an
Oslo: A Pleasant Summer Break
Tagging along on TBH’s business trip to Oslo in July was one of those unexpected but pleasant surprises in life. We have never really thought about visiting Norway, or any of the other Nordic countries. We have a phobia of
Oslo Domkirke
Maybe my eyes are drawn to good-looking Scandinavian men, but it does seem that everywhere I go in Oslo, I see fathers piggy-riding young kids on their shoulders, cycling with their kids, or feeding birds with their kids at the
Reflections
The other day, Eric Kim (a street photographer whose blog I follow) posed a question on Facebook about street photography: is it more important to go out looking for THE photo, or should one let the photo come to you?
Peekture: Verbena In A Glass
Finally, there is countertop space in my bathroom to put a fragrance diffuser. So at a friend’s recommendation, I went out and bought a Loccitane fragrance. I really like the light, citrusy-floral scent as it is not too floral-sweet, or
Peekture: Freaky Clouds In The Frankfurt Skies
This is a photo that I took on the plane of the skies as we approached Frankfurt. Our flight out of Oslo was delayed by an hour because of poor weather conditions in Frankfurt (and as a result, we missed
