What’s transparent, dazzling and is a modern necessity? I guess you can’t think of any until you’ve seen the LG-GD900 Crystal, the world’s first transparent design phone! Most probably you don’t know much about this stylish handset, simply because the LG-GD900 has not released yet. Only the lucky ones who attended the Mobile World Congress…

Singapore Zoo (Part 5/5)
I love all these free-ranging monkeys, especially the chubby fellow here, the White-faced Saki. It’s a male species. It’s feeding time for the female white-faced saki monkey. This type of New World monkey feeds on fruits, seeds, nuts and insects. The Fragile Forest is one of my favourites at the Singapore Zoo. It’s pretty exciting…
Spotted by a Leopard
That day, I lost my way in the rainforest. To the shock of my life, I saw a leopard. There was nothing I could do. The first instinct was to hide myself behind some bushes. But alas! The beast spotted me, glaring deep into my eyes. My jelly legs couldn’t move at all as the…
Singapore Zoo Tropical Polar Bears
For safety reasons, parents know that they have to be watchful of their children while exploring the zoo.

The size and magnificence of this white building tells how important it must be at the time when it was built. To the locals, the Railway Station is the “Taj Mahal of Ipoh”. In the early 20th century, many British tin-mining companies were set up in the city and Ipoh gained prominence. However, with the…
Ipoh Food: Good times, Old memories
When you’re in Ipoh-Malaysia, try some white coffee at Persiaran Bijeh Timah at the old town. You will not regret it! This traditional coffee shop is called “Sin Yoon Loong”. Order their famous pudding custard with caramel syrup. It’s awesome! The bread toast is crisp and filled with kaya (coconut egg jam). Opposite “Sin Yoon…
The Exclusive Smoking Area
Someone asked, “Is smoking in public really banned in Singapore? Is there any place you can smoke cigarette in Singapore?” Smoking is not banned like chewing gum on this island, though there are restricted places for smokers to puff in public areas. See, here is a smoking area, though quite “sad” to see such a…
