When I used to live very near MacRitchie Reservoir Park, I would brisk walk in the late afternoon on the picturesque board walk by the water or on the peaceful board walk amidst the lush greens.

Yesterday, along with perhaps thousands of other ice cream and freebie lovers in Singapore, we trooped down to Ben & Jerry’s to partake of their annual Free Cone Day. And what a wonderful day it always is, if you don’t mind standing in a queue for about half an hour for a free scoop, 2 if you’re lucky, of sweet Ben & Jerry’s bliss. Yum.

I had my Scissor Cut Curry Rice at Beach Road, unit...

image by kampangI just spotted this bird in my garden,actually I heard him first, tapping away at the banana tree. I looked him up in my Birds of Penninsular Malaysia and Singapore and, yes, he is a banded woodpecker (picus miniaceus) and is "found in plantations and sometimes enters rural and suburban gardens". He looks quite exotic to me, but is actually quite common it seems.Unfortunately I couldn't get a photo, so had to grab one from flickr, but this is one thing I love about...
