After the amazing Half-Day Southern Islands Tour with TLC Adventure Tours, I joined them on hiking in Bukit Batok. This hike promises “torii gates” and “bamboo forest” which I never knew existed in Singapore. We visited 3 places on this hiking trip: Seng Chew Quarry, Bukit Batok Hillside Nature Park and Greenwood Park. Hiking in […]
Many people do not realize that Singapore is not just a lone island, there are 64 offshore islands surrounding the main island. I have only been to Pulau Ubin and I have been itching to check out the other islands. TLC Adventure Tours organized a Half-Day Southern Islands Tour which was exactly what I was […]
After visiting Kampong Lorong Buangkok with TLC Adventure Tours, we headed down to Thomson Nature Park to see the ruins from The Lost Hainan Village. The Lost Hainan Village contains the ruins of a once-vibrant Hainan community in 1930s to 1980s. They were some of the last migrants to settle in Singapore. The Hainan Village was […]
My mother used to tell me stories of life when she used to stay in a kampong. I was intrigued and wanted to know more but I thought all the kampongs have been demolished to make space for HDB flats. That is, until I read that there is one last remaining kampong, known as Kampong […]

Singapore aims to produce 30% of its nutritional needs by 2030. I […]
Recently, The Japanese Cemetery Park has become the newest Instagram hotspot. I kept seeing Instagrammers posting gorgeous photographs under a canopy of bougainvillea flowers. Since I can’t travel overseas due to the Covid-19, I have been going photo-hunting around Singapore. I have already been to the spiral staircase at Fort Canning Park, I decided to […]
In recent years, many people around the world has started to realize the seriousness of plastic pollution. In Singapore alone, more than 700 million kilograms of plastics is discarded every year. I wanted to do my part in combatting plastic pollution so I did a little research. That’s when I learned about the Reverse Vending Machines […]
It’s ironic that I learnt about Singapore’s only hot spring from an ang moh Neil Humphreys in his book “Complete Notes from Singapore”. Many residents in Yishun and Sembawang apparently know about this hot spring but it was largely unknown to the rest of Singapore. It used to be just a pump with taps and […]

Someone once mentioned to me that there are many cheap $10 massage shops on the third floor of People’s Park Centre. I […]
