I remember waiting for the kids to change from their wet clothes after their ‘longkang’ fishing. As I was walking about and checking out the rooftop space at Bugis+, I saw all these shapes and lines. Whipping out my phone to take a shot was inevitable 😝

📍Bugis+, Singapore

It was my birthday weekend and I spent it watching handsome, adrenaline pumped racers giving it their all on the track! It was my first MotoGP event and I enjoyed every minute of it. The sights, the sounds (you cannot miss it even if wanted to!) and the atmosphere. The symmetrical lines around the grandstand was something I couldn’t ignore!

I still remember the exact feeling I felt when I saw this view upon reaching Bedok reservoir. I was blown away by the serenity and was taking it all in with a smile on my face. Nature has that effect on me. My first visit was definitely memorable.

Meet me where the sky touches the sea…

Situated in the north of Singapore facing the Johor Straits, Sembawang Park is a tranquil park away from the bustle of the city. With a beautiful beach side and a stunning view, it is a popular fishing ground and a great place for family and friends to get together. Blending nature with history, this calm and serene park gives visitors a glimpse of Singapore’s naval heritage such as the Sembawang Shipyard, which was a British Naval Base from 1938 to 1968.

The interior of La Salsa at Dempse. If the bright, colourful wall murals don’t catch your attention, the ceiling lights definitely will! The bar is a treat to the eyes and your tummy!

The iconic train track next to The Rail Mall. People used to travel to and fro from Singapore and Malaysia back in the days! Now, it was preserved site.

Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life.
Never ask for a lighter rain. Just pray for a better umbrella… As a person who loves the rain, I’m glad my son enjoys them as well. Maybe one day, we’ll even dance in the rain…

When I was young, I used to watch drops of rain roll down the window and pretend it was a race… and I think some things never change because I still find myself watching and pretending…

Channeling my favourite photographer’s tips and tricks. Obviously, I need to work on that hack but I was pretty stoked to see the final edit. Everything looked ‘wow’ once I switched it to B&W. Also, seeing that ‘SG’ in that tiny space… #home

Singapore’s Gotham building. I’ve seen this iconic building whenever I’m in Bugis area but never once went there until last year. The purpose of my visit? Like the building itself, the bar within it (ATLAS) is just as grand. A visit to ATLAS is due for some G&T and award-worthy pictures!

I’m usually in a rush to grab lunch but that day was just too good to pass. So I stood there, unbothered about the hot sun, unbothered about people passing by and just took that shot (okay… it was a few shots) and my OCD self is extremely happy with the symmetry in the picture.

Que Pasa, 7 Emerald Hill, Singapore. A makeshift wall in a bar, decked with empty bottles. I’d like to think that each and every green bottle there is sealed with beautiful memories of those who sipped wine, shared great company and wonderful laughter around the table.

The Sun does not know that he’s just a star, and yet, look at him shine… like the biggest badass he knows he is… Be like the Sun…

Little boys can test your patience, run you ragged, and make you want to pull your hair out… but they will also melt your heart with just one look and make you wonder how you ever existed before them…
