VIEW FROM MR.WINDOW
I am staying at Novena and this is the view I see everyday from my windows. From the picture above, you cannot see any tall buildings, and it feels so green. It is refreshing though, after a long day with tall buildings, it is nice to have a view like this. Even more, I feel like I live at kampong where the environment so clean and green.

WONDER
Wonder that you have a face that is distorted with one eye almost popping out, nose where there is only holes, mouth that is located at left corner. Or what are you going to do if you see one? That is what this book is telling us. The writer try to bring us to this little kid's life named August who has this kind of face. I had finished reading this book, and it is an interesting novel. It tells me how unfair this life is, when you are different you cannot blend in, people judge you, smirk at you. But the important thing is how you react to it. Whether you let yourself down or take advantage of the difference is your choice. So i will say that I am recommending this book!!

WILD HONEY
English Breakfast
Belgian Breakfast

Wild Honey is located inside Mandarin Gallery, Singapore. This place has a very antique and homey design along with the undoubtedly delicious food. They are well known for the various kind of breakfast dishes to choose. There are English breakfast, New York, Aussie, and etc. So here you are able to try the culture of any breakfast dish from your chosen country. Sadly, the food is quite pricey. For the 2 dishes I ordered, it costs me 52 sgd. Yeahh, I know that feeling.... Besides when I came here, the place was crowded with customers, like even though it is not lunch time. Overall, the food is nice and well-cooked and worthy to give it a try.

Life is Good! #1

BAKKUTTEH


 I would like to recommend this place which is called Songfa Bakkutteh. It is located at Clarke Quay, near the MRT station. Here they serve bakkutteh and very suitable for you who are thinking of having something soupy and meaty for your meal. Their favorite dish is pork ribs. I went here before and had a very satisfying dinner.  The soup is very tasty and you can always ask them to refill it. For your concern, this place is always crowded so you will need to queue.
