Places that I'm about to list here aren't the normal touristy spots. I've been to Shanghai twice before (not for long though) so I had tried the main attractions prior to my trip last month. Thus I wanted to explore the more 'hidden gems' (well, sort of) in Shanghai. So here's my tiny research on places...

Mind Cafe
Posted on 8:15 PMby Thiang! with No comments

This was from eons ago when I meet up with my poly mates for an afternoon at Mind Cafe.
My favourite board game now is The Big Taboo, it combines games like Pictionary, the orignal Taboo and also by using an additional purple toy - Bob - to act out the cards' instructions.
So we split into teams and...

This Condom Ain't Tasty
Posted on 10:14 PMby Thiang! with No comments
Sock threw a sleepover party at her place some time back. We spent the whole night playing Rock Band (which by now Choonzie is a freaking pro at it) and talking cock/playing light sticks at her personal pool that is to-die-for!
Bruce then presented this to us:
Which gave us a little shock. Him, having...
Choir With The Folks
Posted on 7:23 AMby Thiang! with No comments
Back in May, I was involved in a choir performance with the veteran singers at 新加坡福建会馆歌唱团。
On the performance night at Victoria Concert Hall, I swear even the primary school choir kids from Nan Chiau and Tao Nan sang so much better than us. Heh.
Luckily for us, we were the guest performers, representing...

Parrot Tulips
Posted on 8:06 PMby Thiang! with No comments
The previous entry on birds and pictures of parrots led to today's post on Parrot Tulips.
I received them on the night I went to visit the Double Helix Bridge. After an Anderson JC choir concert, it came as a pleasant surprise to receive a huge bouquet of flowers.
Happy because it's not any special...
Mini Bird Park?
Posted on 7:19 AMby Thiang! with No comments
A couple of months ago, our boss took a little detour to Jalan Buloh Perindu after lunch to show us this little fortress of its own.
There was a private estate with a few cars and a big lawn. Peep through the walls and here's what you'll see:
Many many parrots, nothing bizarre I'm sure...Until...
There...

I still have two of them in my cardboard and I'll take it out to play once in a blue moon, just because I like them so much. Do you have a favourite t...
Bolt Eardarts
Posted on 4:51 PMby Thiang! with No comments

When I went Taiwan last year, I chanced upon these gorgeous pair of ear darts:
I fell in love with it the moment I saw it, and I knew I need to have them (which I did). I only started using them in February after the old earphones died and it served me surprisingly well.
Only that the good times didn't...

Lunar New Year Dish
Posted on 3:46 PMby Thiang! with No comments
There's something I noticed during Lunar New Year this year, the Chinese in Singapore celebrates CNY differently from Chinese in other countries, say Taiwan, Malaysia or China.
But some traditions don't change.
For one, it's eating Poon Chai, 盆菜。
盆菜 is also known as Big Bowl Feast, a traditional...

Harry Potter World Opens!
Posted on 11:05 PMby Thiang! with No comments
As a mega-huge fan of Harry Potter (yes, I still am), I am beyond psyched to announce that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is now open and Universal Orlando!
If you don't already know what this is all about, it's actually a theme park that is entirely based on the widely successful Harry Potter...

Tiger Show!
Posted on 9:17 AMby Thiang! with No comments

In late February, I attended an event called "Tiger Show". No, not that kind where we encounter in Thailand, Patpong, but it's held in conjunction with Cats Welfare Society (CWS) for the year of the Tiger.
It was during the CNY period, here's how the poster looked like:
Actually my main motive...
Six Months After Christmas 09

Six months down, and only now do I post up Nuffnang's Christmas Party photos. =,= (Not that I have a lot to post.) In fact, I only have 2. Haha.
Well I was busy, and thus the delay. :(
Nuffnang rented the biggest space at K Suites for the invited bloggers - inside completed with a pool table, area...

NC Alumni Dance Camp
Posted on 2:54 AMby Thiang! with No comments
I am aching in pain as I take my seat to come up with this blog entry. Ouch.
My past weekend was spent fruitfully, spending a night over at Nan Chiaiu Primary School (no, that's not where I previously studied) for their Dance Camp.
It's something new that the Alumni came up with, and I'm glad I joined in. The four types of dance that we touched on was something I thought out of my league prior to...

See You Later Alligator!
Posted on 4:27 PMby Thiang! with No comments
It was a heated debacle between Sophia and Shermaine/Fei over this scenario that led us to think that we have a real alligator residing near the office!
At a random back alley near the office in Joo Chiat we saw this - somebody rearing an alligator privately - or is it?
We were puzzled. The "scales"...
Japanese Dessert Made From Black Sugar
Posted on 10:19 AMby Thiang! with No comments

Tucked in a corner of Liang Court located at the basement opposite Tampopo Deli, is a cozy Japanese restaurant (pardon me there's so many there that I cannot remember the name!).
A number of Japanese businessmen decked in their shirts and suits was spotted having ramen for dinner. The outlook...
Toy Story 3

For the past few months, I have seen multiple Toy Story 3 trailers and this highly anticipated film is the third instalment of the Toy Story series since 1995. Believe in or not, Toy Story has not only gained much popularity over the few years, and had even garnered ardent fans as young as...

Phillips Networking Dinner
Posted on 4:07 AMby Thiang! with No comments
Boy was it a great night!
Though just a temporary employment with Pico (second time), this time it was much more pleasant. Thank you Derek for your guidance. :)
Dinner was an extravagant affair at Capella Hotel in Sentosa, I didn't get the chance to take pictures of the food, but they were oh-so-yummy!...
