Shopping Tour - Crocodile and ointment shop

Happy New Year everyone! - Again it has been a long while. With a newborn and toddler, even switching on my computer is a luxury.

With the advance of age...and more likely due to the joy of having matching up to one live energizer bunny and being house maid to the newest princess twenty four hours per day, ache and pain has started to set in all over my body. It is with good luck that I have discovered this wonder place that sell various ointment near Outram MRT.

The boss will also willingly give a talk on the process of making some of the ointment, some of their uses and even some of the history around the area.

This location will be classified under warehouse series.

Warehouse tour - Tea and Snack warehouse

Hi all, it has been a long time since I have updated the blog. Been visit with baby, work and stuff. I have a back log of places to update.

But since it is a new year and a time for sharing, I have come across a wonderful place at woodland (Oriental Royalty) that sell tea. Now you may be wondering what is so wonderful about tea . For one, the packaging are amazing  - it being design by Artist in the Western Europe base on the theme of the year. The varieties are also amazing! Also, the leaves are complete tea leaves instead of the leave fragments commonly found!

Not only tea, they do sell other cooking ingredients like curry paste, black fungus and many more. See some photo belows.

Also included will be some videos on how teas are made.

Please do not visit this place on your own. Strictly by appointment only.

Postpone and cancel of tours till 30 March 2015

With great sadness, all Singaporean, myself included heard the news that Mr Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore founding Prime Minister has passed away.

As a mark of respect, all local tours will be postponed or cancelled if necessary till 30 March 2015.

We regret for any inconvenient caused.

On a personal note, Mr Lee has my utmost respect in truely giving up his life for Singapore as the welfare and survival of Singapore was his true passion.

Thinking out loud about myself, if I earned a few millions per year, after 2 years I would retire somewhere with rolling mountains and beautiful streams. Certainly not staying in Singapore and care about the harm of chewing gum or reproductive rate of the people. The fact that he cared speak volumes of his interest in Singapore as a whole and thus the welfare of everyone that call this rock home.

To make sure the society Mr Lee had used his live to build for us remain vibrant, prosperous, strong and free we must continue to ensure the fundamental value of equal chances for all races, religious in moving on in life, but at the same time giving each ample space to practice their own way of life. We need to continue to research new grounds for growth and development, new way of thinking ahead of other nations to stay relevant cos our margin of error remain very slim despite 50 years of progress.

However this is no longer Mr Lee problem, let the new generation take up the burden and come what may.

Rest in Peace Mr Lee for you deserve it.

Park Tour - Tampines Eco Park

Hello dear readers!

It has been some time since I have last posted. I apologise for the delay...but blame my new baby!

I was looking for a nice park to bring my baby along to get some fresh air when I remember I have not been to Tampines Eco Park.

Set in the estate of Tampines, the park is designed to be a park within a forest. Unlike other reserve, one really seems to walk in an untouched forest. A feeling of oneness with nature, sort of a Zen feel quickly settles around you once you walk deeper into the forest.

There are several things to take note:

1) Please take at least 2 hours to slowly explore the park

2) Bring your camera phone to take nice pictures but leave nothing behind

3) Bring insect repellents. You will not be able to outrun those mosquitos “commandos”.

4) Bring umbrella.

Tampines Eco Park is categorised under Garden Location.

Warehouse Tour - Malaysia and Japan Exploratory warehouse

It has been some time since I have posted. Well, it can be tough finding new places run by real local entrepreneurs to open up their location for tourist for various reasons.

My purpose of this blog is not really to highlight well-known (I do blog about such places, regardless) but to educate the entrepreneurs the wisdom of opening up and be given not just free advertisement for their goods and services but even be paid while at the same time advertising their products and or services.

This post will be about a new concept store where in collaboration with the Malaysia and Japan authoritativeness, this concept warehouse allows small and medium enterprises to showcase their products in Singapore for a few months.

This allows the different brands to gauge the preference of Singaporeans and hopefully they may be able to re-export their products to the rest of the world through Singapore.

 It may be a surprise to some, given Singapore excellent reputation in food safety, honesty in business dealing and strong judiciary system, product widely used and re-export product enjoy a certain brand premium in many other countries.

The products in the warehouse range from household products to food (such as chips, ice cream, coffee and snack, etc) to even Art pieces. They will only be in Singapore for a short while so everything you buy will be unique or even limited collection!!

This location will be classified under warehouse series.

Random Place I have seen - Pulau Semakau Landfill

It has been two months since I have last posted. As some of my loyal readers know, Chinese New Year (CNY) shopping tour always takes up all my time. Well now that CNY shopping season is over, I am back! As promise in my previous post, a quick write up on Pulau Semakau Landfill.

Pulau Semakau Landfill is an offshore landfill using a membrane to carve out a section of the sea using Pulau Semakau as anchor. The landfill is separated into two phase and phase one is rapidly being filled up with ashes from waste incinerators in Singapore. The landfill is planned to last till 2045 and there seem to be no official words on the plan afterwards. So please practice the 3 R - Reuse, Recycle and Reduce wastage if possible!

Currently, through application, the public is allowed to visit the island for educational purpose, tracking along the tide lines and for star gazing.

I have attended an educational trip that show us the video on the life cycle of waste and the construction of Pulau Semakau at their visitor center, follow by a visit to the waste receiving center (Since it is all ash, there is very little or no smell at all) and a tour around the different part of the island using a mini-bus.

As the Pulau Semakau is not easily accessible, I will classify it under random places I havebeen.
