Singapore Part 6: Singapore Food and Shop Girl. Resting in KL.
I’ve declared today the official rest day of this holiday. I’m writing to you from our hotel room over more impressively speedy hotel wifi as I sip on green tea and nibble at some excellent dark chocolate I picked up at the duty free in Singapore. Here’s a visual. Was at the gym earlier…

Singapore Part 5: National Museum of Singapore. Singapore Shop Girl.
I don’t think we could have taken Toddler SSG to such a wide range of attractions in the space of only five days in a city without Singapore’s infrastructure and passion for efficiency. Taxis have proven to be an economical way for our group to travel while the shuttle buses and light rails that exist…

Singapore Part 4: the Zoo. JPG For Target, Mission Accomplished.
First things, first. How efficient were Target at 8.13am AEDT this morning? JPG for Target tragic that I am, I was up here in Singapore nursing a mug of matcha, to try my luck at an online purchase with click and collect. And my order went through FIRST GO. Plus I was able to redeem…

Singapore Part 3: Gardens by the Bay, Holiday Grocery Shopping.
If I hadn’t visited Gardens by the Bay and saw it with my own eyes yesterday, I’d still be sttuggling with the complexity and ambition of the project – and just how brilliantly it has been executed. On 100 hectares of reclaimed land, it was announced by the government as a project that would transform…

Singapore Part 2: A Day at Resort Worlds Sentosa.
Mondays on whilst on holiday are a special kind of Monday to me. Whilst they’d be spent in the real world commuting, working, keeping to routines and getting buried in the daily affairs of keeping a household on its toes: Mondays in holiday mode are just filled with hours waiting to be spent on block…

The Flight Was Great. Singapore Part 1.
And hello from humid, efficient, constantly changing but always ever so friendly Singapore. Where priorities were in order from the moment we landed. I got my new SIM at the airport, on the way out from collecting our bags. Putting the new card in was a bit more complicated…. Here’s a life hack for you…

Lovin’ Life: 6/3/2016.
There’s not much else to say about why I’m lovin’ life right now. It’s officially time for a break (time for a Kit Kat…. geddit?). We’re off to the airport en route to Singapore this morning. I think I have everything we need and even if we don’t, it’ll be a good excuse to go…

Friyay.
Don’t you just love that last Friday at work before you go off the grid for a bit of a break? I suddenly find my (deeply hidden) internal stores of fortitude and calm with which to face the dramas that inevitably arise on a day that you’re meant to be tidying up loose ends rather…

The Tooth. The Laptop’s All White.
It still amazes me whenever I see the water on my travels through the suburbs of Sydney. Often, all you need do to find a little piece of heavenly peace and tranquility is to stroll a few hundred metres off from one our ridiculously congested arterial roads. It’s bizarre that these two worlds coexist…

Early Autumn, I Love You. Zoodles.
I love early autumn. It’s got the perfect combination of sun during the day and just a touch of coolness at night. It’s warm enough for leisurely 4pm walks around the neighbourhood while the nights offer you the chance to succumb to the weight of your doona (as opposed to having to wrap it around…
