Where Do I Go Next?!

I have been traveling for quite a while. I love how it feels to get to know the culture and the people on the street. This goes the same with any other country I plan to visit. I will pretty soon conquer the UK and I will have my brother take short breaks with me. Since he is busy in Ireland I wouldn't be able to just pull him out on weekdays and maybe on the weekend it'll be more feasible. Do you see deer on the photo? There's a lot more where that came from and it is just a few kilometers away from my brother's house. I can always travel but there's something in my mind that bugs me if he doesn't come along with me. He needs a break too and if that requires us to do it nearby I wouldn't hesitate to do it.

I love the weekend and if ever it's going to be the shortest day I have to go out with my brother it is okay just as long as it is with him. This goes the same with my friends too. I have a lot and to tell you honestly I've been doing this for quite some time now. I am currently choosing vacation packages on line and I would love to explore more of the countryside. Have you thought of where to go next?

Food from Singapore, Singapore!

It's going to be a little flooded with Singapore now since you know already. I'm posting photos of the food I enjoyed while in the Merlion state so you get to know how it is and what it tastes like when you get there too. Ready?!

The Oyster Omelet which is as it says it is. This is an omelet hugging several oysters accentuated by the taste of cilantro that breaks the fishy pungent drama it has. This one tasted good and they cook it to a point where the oyster is still a little raw. They let it cook from the heat of the folded egg. It's quite good but I'm going to tell you a general observation on the food there ok?!

This is the famous Hokkien Mee. Well I think you know by now that Mee probably had the notion of it being the root of our local Mami. This basically tastes like pansit bihon guisado + canton with the exception of the HOT lethal sambal chili that it comes with. I didn't like it because of the shrimp.. why? Because I'm allergic to seafood LOL
Singapore Fried rice. It tasted like Yangchow fried rice with the pickled chili to get it hot. I like chili a lot so I enjoyed pairing this with the other things we ate. I just hesitated a bit because it also had shrimp on it.


Laksa - I really was looking forward to eat this particular bowl because it looks so HOT right? Well it is hot but I didn't like one major part of it. I felt it was like BINABOY na SPAGHETTI with sauce that came from coconut milk. Yes they did also use Spaghetti for the noodles and I didn't like it. It was just OK and I felt a little disappointed. Anyway, now for my favorite!

It's the famous Chicken Rice! This one is the Roasted Version! Ohhh my mouth still waters just by looking at it. It was nice and a little lemony fresh when you eat the rice. It was the perfect pair! I am so loving it! I'm going to look for a local version of this and see if it does justice with what I ate there!

By the way, if you are wondering what general thing I'm going to say about the food there, its just that it is too bland. They need to put salt on most of them so it'll catch up on our taste. I guess they prefer spicy instead of getting bolder flavors on food. I still love it though and a little salt wouldn't be that bad to do while eating.

There's more of this in the future posts but I'm showing you these just to get you started! =)

I'm Loving Weekend Breaks!

I love taking a vacation. It makes me realize how much I've been working so hard at the office. It literally makes me forget how stressful life is. I wish I could spend weekend breaks uk so I'd be able to take refuge in outskirts of London. There are a lot of things to do there and my brother would be glad to take me around. I've been contemplating about it for the longest time but it looks feasible now that I've traveled a lot this year. The destinations are endless and the comfort of living in a home away from home is really going to make my stay memorable.


To tell you the truth I'd like to go on short visits like the Sherwood Forest and see where Robin Hood really came from. I'd probably play a part on the story too if they would permit me. My friends would probably come with me too even if I ask on short notice. They enjoyed the last time we did an out of town stint. I practically had to ask them to leave early otherwise my work schedules would suffer. A short break even within the country would be nice just as long as I could spend it with friends and family. You should start asking around for people who would like to go out with you this weekend. It's perfect for our busy schedules and the time you spend with your loved ones is priceless! So what's your plan for this weekend? Let me know!

Singapore, Singapore!

It was another tiring day today and as I said in my previous posts I'll get some of my shots published here. Since there are some required shots for a photographer while in Singapore I'll show you some of them now. These are all long exposures which lasts around 20 seconds for a single shot. I hope you like them!


Now remember these are not high resolution copies so it is a little degraded (because I uploaded them on standard rate in FB). I post processed it just now so please spare me the humiliation if you are a photographer too LOL. Anyway here's Orchard Road at around 12:30 AM. Yeap I was there at this time because I didn't want to stay around the hotel that much!

This is Marina Bay Sands. See that platform on top of it? It's actually a park where you can roam around the 57th floor of these three buildings. It's one of the most greatest architectural wonders in Singapore so you kinda get why a lot of people take shots of this one. Pretty awesome huh?! My niece Marie works there at the reception so if you ever are around, I don't care LOL!

This is the Fullerton Hotel (as it also says on the top of the building). This is where the famous Merlion of Singapore is found. There is another one in Sentosa but this is pretty much the most photographed since it stands by the river. This is just opposite the Durian looking theater so if ever you are in one side you can take shots of the other one on the other side. Get it?!
This is the famous Esplanade. This is the durian looking theater on the other side of the bay. This is also quite near the Singapore flyer which I'll show you in a bit. They are quite close probably because this is one of the tourist spots in Singapore. From what I've learned, Lea Salonga already performed here among many artists that are from the Philippines. Singapore hasn't got that much artistic people so they always get them from other countries like ours. They have art schools but no one seems to be interested in most of them. They all want to go to Universities in Australia because it is quite expensive to study here.

This is the Esplanade + The Singapore Flyer. The middle part of that is where you can eat a lot of Singapore's best cuisine. I was on a diet that's why I ended up eating 15 chicken wings just for starters. Did I tell you I was addicted to Water Chestnut? I literally am not drinking water anymore because of it. I always buy them outside our hotel when I go out. I also take them in when going back. I wish there was some way I could put up a business entirely made of drinks like what they have. As for the food, I'll show you some more later!

Behave so I'd show some more photos okay?! =)
