Stadium MRT Singapore

I had a surprise when I went into the new Stadium MRT station at Kallang. The modern, sleek and futuristic design was quite unlike most other MRT stations in Singapore.

The Fat Duck experience

After watching the TV series, we decided that we have to try out the real thing. Two months ahead, we secured a table at The Fat Duck. The restaurant is located at Bray, not far from Maidenhead to the west of London.

We were glad that Heston Blumenthal's restaurant lived up to its fine reputation. The 14 dishes were full of surprises and fun and the service was excellent. There was not just creative foods but also accompaniment of complementary fragrances and sounds. In one dish, the "Sound of the Sea", an iPod was provided to each of us, carefully hidden in a large shell, to provide accompanying sounds.

It was an unforgettable experience.

Kay's Mazda

It has taken me a long time to post these. Back in July, Kay got a replacement for her smashed up Mazda. She decided to keep up with her luck by having another Mazda !

New blinds to screen the sun

We had blinds installed today to screen out the intense winter sun that falls onto our breakfast area. Now we can read our morning papers without fear of having skin cancer !
