- World Cup 2014 fever, Singapore

 

(This World Cup in Brazil is like no other. Firstly, I was there at the Maracana Stadium, just 3 months ago..well more accurately, looking at it from the top of Christ the Redeemer statue. Secondly, Brazil got a big fat wallop from Germany..poor Neymar. Thirdly, it became the first time that I put a small bet on the game..and my 2 predictions came up triumphant..haha, talk about beginners' luck)

- Supply & Demand restaurant, Singapore

(This corner fusion restaurant at the Esplanade turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The 2 entrees we ordered were fresh and tasty. With a nice view of the Marina Bay, it exudes plenty of warmth, giving it a satisfying stopover before heading to the Esplanade for a show) 

 

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #174 - Harith Iskander standup comedy

- Harith Iskander standup comedy, Singapore

(Harith Iskander took to the stage with style, and rocked the NTUC auditorium with his brand of humour. He took us through his 20odd years in comedy, with references to his early years and his bi-cultural boyhood - his dad being Malay and mum, a Brit. With his casual demeanour and being attuned to the latest local scene here, he is easily the Godfather of Malaysian Comedy)

- Ayam Tulang Lunak, Malioboro, Bali

(This chicken dish, pressure-cooked to perfection with a spread of salted egg on top, was surprisingly tasty. Its bones were soft enough to be eaten, supposedly nutritious in itself. It was yummy enough to bring us back for seconds..gotta try it again when there, but it turns out, they have a branch in Spore too)
