Everyone enjoyed the last getaway so much so that Benny organised another trip to Kukup, Pontian, Malaysia, on Good Friday. This time, we had to pay an extra S$6 per head (from S$89 to S$95) as the owner did some minor renovation to the chalets like putting up a glass wall to separate the living … Continue reading →

In the car, I felt more disquiet as my mind kept preying on my fear. Was I having a mild heart attack? Was this the onset of a stroke? I tried to recall the symptoms Mark told me about his experience, the days leading to his attack. Did I felt cold on the left side … Continue reading →

It was free and easy until dinner at 7.30pm. We stayed indoors playing mahjong, card games (no money involved), karaoke-ing and simply chit-chatting. It was also the first time many of us met each other in person, although we have been admiring each other’s works in our facebook photography groups. Click on pics for full … Continue reading →

We set out a little later than we intended but Paul assured me we’ll be there on time. We’d continued our journey after Paul’s had his nasi lemak and coffee at a rest stop along the highway (after about 2 hours’ drive from Sri Petaling). I had my cuppa too. 16 cups a day remember? … Continue reading →

I was still whooping it up in Happy Land in my mind… I was savouring the velvety mush of azuki beans from Ian’s bowl of Ice Kacang (blink once). I should have gobbled at least one of The Silver Chef’s attap chee. I also should have scooped more ganache from Tony’s dessert (blink twice). Tyng’s … Continue reading →

“Are we happy with the Wanton Mee?” Tony asked. “We’d be happy if there’s dessert!” Tyng and I chorused. “I know just the place, it’s called Happy Land”.
