The Botanic Gardens (Part 2)
Continued from Part 1… ‘It is still early, let’s just wait,’ the father replied, as he continued to arrange the items. I took a look at the time on my mobile phone. That was when I realised that it was not early anymore. I should be heading towards the Botanic Gardens. The stamp launch starts […]
The Botanic Gardens (Part 1)
It was a cold Friday morning. I woke up early in the morning to attend a stamp exhibition at China Square Central.

As the first Public Postal Licensee, Singapore […]
Adidas Sundown Marathon 2009
Gun Time 5:29:05. Not very impressive but not bad for a first-timer either. If I calculated correctly, the Net Time should be 5:26:03. Running at night is quite different from running in the day. It is much quieter at night, and at some instances, it may be quite boring, as everything is shrouded in darkness. […]
Opening of the Circle Line
Although I did not catch the first train in the morning at 5.37 am since it is so early, I did catch a ride on the train this afternoon straight after school from Marymount Station to Bishan Interchange, then off to Paya Lebar. Well, it is not very crowded at that time, there were about […]
