Angels & Demons
State of Being : Reminiscing 2008's Europe Trip...
It's a pity that I am not travelling to Rome this year for holiday, else I would have loved to try to spot the many statues and location sets for Dan Brown's film adaptation of his novel "Angels & Demons".
Alas, below are the only photos from my Europe trip last year which had been the location shots for some of the scenes from the movie... And no, we did not have any photos of the said statues that were shown in the movie. :(

State of Being : Peranakan Food Galore!!
It's amazing how many authenic Nyonya dishes I managed to sample and eat over my short trip in Malacca last weekend. With only 2 days, and effectively less than 36 hrs to visit the city attractions and get my hands on all the famous dishes (not just Peranankan food only) in Malacca, never had I eaten so much food in such a short period, and especially on a holiday!
Out of all the dishes eaten during that trip, I'll have to give my votes to the Chinchalok Omelette & the Durian Chendol. "Simply Sedap"!!! *slurp*

Welcome Back Singa!
State of Being : Courtesy Begins with Me...
Remember Singa the Courtesy Lion whom we hold so dear during the 80s? Just when you thought that he's long forgotten and we can only relive its existence in our childhood memories, he's now back with a vengence!
Spotted outside the National Library and all over Singapore, this endearing mascot is "brought back to life" to guide us the way in becoming a more gracious & a more courteous nation. Long live Singa!!! :)
