I chanced upon this fun museum on Easter Sunday in Kampong Glam. It was so fun fooling around with the exhibits and taking photos. One of the owners, Harold demonstrated many games and played with us. hahaha.... some kids were amused with these 3 middle-aged grown-up kids!
Remember goli, gasing, bottle caps battles, guns and spinners made using ice-cream sticks? In the old days, many families didn't have much money to spend on toys for their children, so the kids have to create and make their own. The toys entertained them and their friends for hours and years!
Seeing these toys brought me fond memories of my childhood. I'm going to bring my brothers and their families here to have fun.
Go check it out!
S$2 entrance fee per person to cover cost for maintaining the museum. The owners have their full time jobs and it's opened during their lunch breaks (11 am to 2pm) and after work on weekdays..... and on weekends.

I remember when TV Mobile first started, I was very disturbed. It was not properly set up and the whole system wasn't stable yet. I don't usually sleep on the bus but I find having some quiet time useful so it isn't really a boon.
At some places, TV mobile will tend to lag and freeze at certain scenes. Occasionally it would leave the actors/actresses in an ugly pose which will send me giggling. People probably think I'm weird then.
Now I think they've lowered the volume and ask people to tune in from the radio station if they wish to hear. But It's kinda like bring your own entertainment isn't it? I think it really defeats its purpose at times. Also very few people carry portable radios these days.
Nonetheless I always enjoy it when the Gags show up. That's my favourite. And I think lots of people enjoy watching it as it usually sends many people into peals of laughter.
TV mobile has a long way to go... meanwhile.. it's back to good ol' MP3.

Hua Xia Tai Mao Bi is a little shop in KK hospital which makes chinese brushes from children's hair. Newborns between 3 to 15 mths are brought to the shop to have their hair shaved off and made into chinese brushes for keeps.
I went with my friend's newborn that day and the lady patiently explained the process and let my friend choose the brush she wanted. They had quite a wide range,from fine ones to thicker ones. There were some with more intricate designs and others with simple paintings on them. The cheapest brush was $49 and the most expensive was $500 , I think.
Well the lady was quite gentle with my friend's 3 month old boy while shaving his head. He didn't cry at all and even fell asleep. He had plenty of hair so my friend chose 2 brushes.
The lady kept the enough to make the 2 brushes and returned my friend the rest. They had to go back 1 month later to collect the brushes. I was wondering to myself... how one would know whose hair was on the brush they made. Just purely based on trust I suppose.
Well the brushes DO NOT come in boxes and you have to purchase boxes too... which are slightly over $100...
The total for 2 brushes and a boxes to put both brushes in was $600.. which is a hefty sum I must say... I seriously don't think I would be spending this sort of money.
But I would have to give the lady credit for being so patient and providing such good service. Apparently Zoe Tay had her brushes done there too!

I've been here a few times and never wrote about it!
The 2nd floor is a great place to just chill and enjoy the music but the drawback is that there aren't any seats and it's constantly crowded. Not to mention it's easier to get in if you just buy a bottle. Just to skip the long queue. Being there early means you get seats... and also get eyed by later patrons cos they really want your seat. My friend went in super early just to reserve seats for us. The drinks are ok, not too diluted and I guess reasonably priced for a bar. I enjoy the live music though I'm not really a fan of that genre.
The ground floor is more for the soccer crowd and those who want to eat. Though it's quieter here but not quite the place for conversation either as it's quite cramped with people mostly.

I like Plaza Market Cafe's wide selection of dessert, the fresh thick slices of sashimi, the DIY salad bar, its Peranakan dishes and its mean local soup!
I patronise it often because of a special one-for-one promotion with my Amex card. hehe.....
Must trys!
The popular and super delicious Durian Pengat! A huge, chilled pot of it!
Its awesome Bread Pudding which is available only during the Lunch Buffet.
Sorbets!! Made in its own kitchen, some of the sorbets are so delicious.
Try its daily boiled local soup. Its Pork Maw or Kiam Chye (Salted Vegetable) Soup tastes heavenly! The soup was exactly how my Mom and I would boil it. So flavourful! It has the porky aroma! That's what you get for boiling pork bones for hours! I drink 2 - 3 bowls each time. It not only warms my stomach, it warms my soul.
Service is friendly and pretty good. Empty plates are quickly cleared away and they do not add hot water to your used tea bag!
Some restaurants' idea of refilling a cup of tea is to add hot water to the used tea bag it! Delifrance is guilty of that. I hate it! It's like drinking longkang water.

You must be patient if you want to eat at this stall. I was surprised to see the long queue in front of the stall. The queue on a Sunday morning (11 am) was long, I cannot imagine what it would be like on weekdays!
My son had to queue for more than 30 mins. He was quite lucky then, the guy behind him ordered 10 bowls! *faints* hehe.....
It's not like you don't have to pay money lor. I find the prices here expensive. A bowl of Pomfret Fish Slices with Prawns (S$10), S$5 for a small bowl of Batang Fish soup and S$7 for a Pomfret soup (small).
The soup is clear, very flavourful and the ingredients fresh!

This is sooo bad of me! I've known Beadyplace for so long and only today I went in to seriously take a look at the things she did!
I must admit I'm not a fan of accessories. Those who know me will know that the only thing I wear daily are my rings on my fingers. :) But when I saw the accessories this bimbo created, I'm tempted! One of the necklace and a bracelet are very simple and pretty. *hint hint* HAHA!
Love the simplicity of the designs. Personally I'd tried beading too, but my clumsy and fat fingers do not allow me to do it right. So i gave up.
This bimbo is a very busy woman, so when she finds time to do her accessories, I'm sure she concentrates 100% and gives good quality stuff. Go check out her blogshop if you're shopping for some gifts for your gfs. :)

Good service. But not so good product.
I chanced upon this printer while shopping at Funan. (I rarely go there you see) The thing that attracted me was their photo book. I'd always wanted to make a professional looking book of photos. (almost similar to coffee table book you see at weddings)
The pricing was pretty steep for the photo book, so I've yet tried getting one. But beside this product, they do namecard printing too. At just $24 for 2 boxes and $30 for 3 boxes, I thought it was quite a good deal (since the last time I printed cost me $35 for 3 boxes). So I went back another day to print my personal namecards.
There were 2 ladies at the counter when I was there. One was quite friendly while the other was quite cold. There were a few people there wanting to get their stuff printed, and all were waiting for the friendly lady to serve them. The other cold one was busy doing her own things behind the counter.
I was supposed to collect my namecard on a Monday as I sent it for print on Tuesday evening. (Usually they take 4 working days to print namecards) But as I had something on Friday, I called them up on Friday to check if my cards were ready. I was very happy to be able to get it earlier than expected.
So I went to collect my cards on Friday, but didn't check the cards properly before I left. When I reached home, I realised that the cards were dirty! It looks like the blade used to cut the cards were not cleaned, and it left ugly and sticky marks on the sides of my cards. About half of the box was damaged. (Pls view photo attached with this review)
Perhaps I'm just one of those unlucky customers who got dirtied namecards. Next time I must check all the cards before I leave the place.

lo and behold! The new kid on the block, Obolo opened along the popular Joo Chiat Road late 2007, serving up desserts and drinks. It has a small seating area with 3 tables for about 10 people.
I liked the interior decor. Very modern and yet cosy like. They had pastry books for browsing on the coffee tables which was a nice touch. The well-taken pictures of their own cakes adorned the walls.
I happily plonked myself down on the seemingly comfortable chair to discover that it was hard as stone. *ouch* The table was the same height as the chairs so you really have to bend over to have your cake.
Noisette $6.90
Dark chocolate mousse, caramelised toasted hazelnuts, crunchy praline feullitine, chocolate genoise enrobed in a shiny chocolate glaem
I wanted to order this at first and regretted that I didn't. My companion did though and I had a taste of it. I like it pretty much. It was quite light and easy on the stomach despite looking so chocolatey but it is mousse you know. I could taste the chocolate nicely but it wasn't too rich. But it wasn't fantastic too.
Guanaja Cheesecake $6.90
Dark chocolate cheesecake, topped with a chocolate macaron
This cheesecake was very thick. Not the light and fluffy sort I like. Don't be fooled by the colour, the cheesecake doesn't really taste of chocolate. Only the base is made of a tangy dark chocolate. The macaron on top is SUPER sweet, and this comes from someone with a sweet tooth. It was so sweet it made me cringe for a few seconds, having my companion guess what I was trying to say.
I actually find the privilege programme a little tricky as you can only have the 10% discount if you spend more than $10. Doesn't sound so privileged after all isn't it? AND you have to spend $100 within a month to get these privileges..... mmm
I would be back though. I was intrigued by the rest of the cakes. They did look very nice but I do hope they taste as good as they looked. They had tiramisu in glasses which I'm really tempted to try. Anyone?

Perfect Mum is a shop selling Maternity Wear in Suntec. It's located on the 3rd floor in the mum and kids' section between Toys 'r us and the cinema.
I like the clothing in Perfect Mum. They are modern looking and not frumpy like what some of the shops sell. They also have a good range of clothing for the working mum and even evening wear which looks very presentable. All the clothing seemed very well designed to cater to the different stages of pregnancy.
The only gripe I have is that they don't have much choices for the nursing mum. Those are quite limited and it's not as well-designed as some other tops I've seen at other shops.
The staff here are all very polite and friendly. They are very knowledgeable and give very good advice. I do notice that the prices are slightly higher compared to other places but I still find them reasonable due to the quality and design.
**I'm not a mum-to-be. Just a tag-along...**
