This is a quick post. We’ve done the usual – duck rice at Four Seasons, shopping at Harrod’s, and today we visited the Emirates Stadium to pick up some gear. May go back for a proper tour on Sat if the timing’s right. If there’s time we will squeeze in a museum visit. Tomorrow I …
My plan: 1. Take an early morning train to Bristol’s Temple Meads station, which is within walking distance of the city centre. 2. Walk down to the recently-renovated Broadmead for a spot of shopping and to grab lunch. Alternatively, check out the [Bristol Food & Wine Fair](http://www.bristolwineandfoodfair.co.uk/) which opens, happily, on the very day that …
This Tuesday, I will be heading back to the UK for my sister’s graduation in Middlesex. We will base ourselves in London and make day trips. As there are only enough tickets for parents to attend the graduation ceremony, I intend to spend that day alone in Bristol, my alma mater, land of Wallace & …
“I am a Berliner.” That was President Kennedy’s [famous line](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ich_bin_ein_Berliner). Well, today I finally got to see what’s left of the Berlin Wall. I was a kid when it was knocked down, but it was a world event I was aware of. Here are other pieces of walls: Reminded me of Romeo and Juliet, while …
Clothes – mostly casual tees and jeans, because if I dressed too formally I wouldn’t be taken seriously as a blogger. Bringing a dress for the gala night, because I think Europeans will dress up nicely at such events. Will bring a light coat and a more heavy jacket for when the [Berlin weather](http://weather.cnn.com/weather/forecast.jsp?celcius=true&locCode=EDBB&zipCode=336568366666) gets …
I have exciting news to announce. Hewlett-Packard (HP) has invited me to Germany to cover their latest product launch! So I will be heading to Berlin over the weekend and covering the event for a few days. A big THANK YOU to the folks who’ve organised the trip, got our tickets and our nice hotel …
I’m back in LA for just a few hours. It’s 6.20pm in LA but 9.20am in Singapore, which is why I decided to get a latte at Starbucks so that I’ll stay awake a bit longer. When I started on my trip, my luggage was 16.5kg. On my way back, it weighed 52 pounds, or …
A quick note to say I’m leaving for Austin soon. Last night I had a great dinner at Versaille in Los Angeles with my cousin and his wife, finally got to try out the wireless on my iPhone at their place, then headed back to pack my bags. I really should be sleeping. There are …
I had a nutritious breakfast of steamed buns, broccoli and green tea. I never eat breakfast when I’m back in Singapore, I just have a juice and coffee. It’s only when I’m abroad that I somehow have an appetite. We drove down south, shopped at a factory outlet near the Mexican border, and visited my …
My Singapore Airlines flight was great. Bigger seats, greater reclining angle … I slept like a baby, woken up only to be fed (by the stewardess) and entertained (by KrisWorld). I watched Michael Clayton and American Gangster, and listened to Herbie Hancock’s Grammy award-winning album on Joni Mitchell songs. We had one of the smoothest …
