The League Against Evil: A DC Super Heroes Exhibition: Somewhere To Bring Your Kids This June Holidays!
posted on
Nope, this is not the headquarters of the Justice League of America but the Singapore Philatelic Museum.
Your favorite super heroes from DC Comics - Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman - is now on exhibition at the Museum.
Come explore the origins and history of the Justice League through stamps, comic artworks, and collectibles of figurines and models.
This exhibition is held in conjunction with Warner Brothers' celebration of the 75th anniversary of Batman. It is also the first and only DC Comics Super Heroes exhibition in Asia to commemorate this milestone.
At Cologne Wallrafplatz, Germany, a lone trumpeter plays the opening credits from the Star Wars movie in the middle of a busy street.
He was joined by the other brass players from the WDR Radio Orchestra who had hidden themselves on the second floor of the surrounding buildings. The strings section then appeared on the streets and take up position at the cafe.
Surprised pedestrians stop in their tracks and whipped out their mobile phones to film the entire act.
At the end of the performance, the musicians disperse and goes their separate ways.

Amoy Street Food Centre is a great place to grab lunch if you work nearby in the CBD area. It
is a two-storey food centre that has every kind of local food
imaginable.
If you do a search on what's recommended here, the Char Kway Teow is bound to turn up in the results. char koay teow
Char Kway Teow, or Fried Kway Teow is a flat rice noodle dish fried with eggs, tau geh (beansprouts), see-hum (cockles) and lup cheong (Chinese sausage).
This particular Fried Kway Teow stall at Amoy Street Food Centre serves one of the better ones around. Well, not out of this world good but good enough.
Afterall, uncle has been frying kway teow for the last 50 odd years when he first operated from a push cart at Boon Tat Street in the 1960s. If his kway teow is not good, his business could not have lasted till now.
Qianhu Fish Farm had very humble beginnings.
The Yap family started off as pig farmers before venturing into the ornamental fish business. They converted old pig pens into concrete ponds and bred Guppies for local exporters.
There is no turning back for the small family business which has since grown into the corporation it is today. In year 2000, Qianhu became a public listed company on the SGX.
I enjoy visiting the farm to escape from the bustle of city life. I also like to get my aquarium supplies here because it is not too far from where I stay but most importantly is, watching the fishes has a therapeutic effect on me.
Besides,
the aquarium shop near my place got their supplies from Qianhu too so
it makes sense for me to come here straight where I can find everything I
need all under one roof.
You can enjoy an idyllic afternoon here with your loved ones to relieve the childhood days of longkang fishing or simply pamper your feet with a fish spa.
You can also seek advise here if you are setting up an aquarium for the first time.

Since I was at Robinsons Road the other day, I decided to have lunch at the nearby Amoy Street Food Centre.
The 'homework' I did the night before narrowed down my choices to Tai Seng Noodle House - specifically for its Wanton Mee. My reason for picking this stall is attributed by the many photographs of the Wanton Mee with its generous serving of ingredients.
I could not believe my eyes when I saw photos of the said Wanton Mee that I had to come see this for myself!
And seeing is believing.
Update: Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee has permanently closed.
I have never tasted dried ban mian (or pan mee, as they are known in Malaysia) before and have always been intrigued by its taste whenever I see Malaysian bloggers blogging about it.
Thus, when Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee from KL set up a branch here in Singapore two months ago, it got me excited.
Disgruntled, I decided to wait until the hype is gone before going down.

I had wanted to go pay them a visit then but was upset to learn that the queue is two hours long!
While on a chicken hunt at Tiong Bahru recently, lunching at Zhong Yu Yuan Wei (忠于原味) was included in the plan.
Having no luck with their bu jian tian (不见天) pig's armpit char siew Wanton Mee, I went in search of the other Wanton Mee stall.
I remember my lecturer telling me on Facebook that there is another Wanton Mee stall called Hua Feng Roasted Delights (华丰烧腊) at Tiong Bahru Market which happens to be right next to the popular 178 Shark Fritters Lor Mee stall.

My curiosity was aroused when I learn that there were Cockerels running amok at Tiong Bahru.
They are not your usual chickens per se but murals put up by artist Ernest Goh as part of the 2014 Tiong Bahru Heritage Fiesta.
I knew I had to come check them out when I first saw the photos from the Cheekiemonkies!
Without much further ado, let us go catch some chickens!
Went to Batam with the folks last Saturday. We woke up at five in the morning and the skies were still dark when we reached the Cruise Centre at Harbourfront.
I was actually not too keen to go as our last trip to Batam was just a few days short to a year.
However, with the lure of A&W, I decided to go anyway.
I guess most people would have already read about the case of the dog trainer abusing her dog at one of the obedience competition held at the EXPO.
Below is the witness' account on her Facebook.
Hello Kitty fans rejoice!
McDonald's is celebrating Hello Kitty’s 40th Anniversary and Singapore is the first country in the world to receive the exclusive Hello Kitty Bubbly World series!
Inspired by the fashion trend of polka dots, each character in the series will be decked out in colourful and fun costumes from her friends’ wardrobes!
Redmi, or Hongmi is a reference to its Chinese name 红米 meaning red rice.
If you have not already heard, Redmi have been selling like hotcakes in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and now Singapore, it's first venture outside China.
When I first learn that Redmi is a China phone, the first question I asked myself is "will it explode"?
All that caution is thrown out of the window when I'm reminded that iPhone is also made in China. Some of Redmi's components are made in FOXCONN, the same factory that assembles iPhones.

To be honest, I do not know much about phones. I know nothing about MIUI or Snapdragon and I can't tell WDCMA apart from GSM.
All I knew is, this phone is a bargain at SGD169!
The film began with Auntie Mui (Nina Paw Hee-Ching/鲍起静) lying in a pool of blood and the camera pans to the injured Yau (Anthony Chan/陈友) leaning against a crumbling wall.
Nearby, the dying Chin (钱小豪) flips to his back weakly, stares into the sky and his flashback begins.
Chin - the protagonist of the movie - plays himself, a has-been movie actor moving into a very old apartment apparently to end his life.
With a rope round his neck, he listens to the voice mails left by his beloved son and reminisce about life with his wife and son during happier times.
There is no mention of what happened to his family but in his flashback, they were seen walking away from him with their eyes turning white which I interpret as they are dead?
He finally kicked away the stool he was standing on.
It was around noon when I left the Singapore River Safari. The staff stamped my hand with a chop so I could re-enter if I want to.
After thanking her, I made my way towards the Zoo entrance and again gained free entrance with my complimentary ticket. I think it is so nice of Wildlife Reserves to open up their parks for free to Singaporeans on their birthdays.
If only Resort World Sentosa would do the same... Heh heh!
I have been wanting to visit the Singapore River Safari ever since it opened its door a year ago. However, not all of the exhibits were complete hence, I decided to put off my visit till they are fully ready.
The park was finally completed last December and I feel the time for my visit has come.
While looking for information on the Wildlife Reserves website, I discovered that Singaporeans and PRs enjoy free admission to all of WRS parks during their birthdays!
What better timing to take advantage of this offer as my birthday is just approaching?
If you are in the vicinity of Tiong Bahru, do not give this old-school
confectionery a miss. While the nondescript shopfront does not say much about it's offerings, it is in fact, a treasure trove filled with a good variety
of nonya kuehs.
Auntie Jenny, the lady behind the counter is very helpful with suggestions on what I could buy as I was overwhelmed by the mere sight of these delectable kuehs in front of me.
I cannot help but wished I could have a bite of everything!

Well, who wouldn't? Everyone would be spoilt for choice here at Galicier.
Malaysia Boleh! is a themed foodcourt located at the new wing of Jurong Point Shopping Mall (beside Ding Tai Fung) selling renowned Malaysian delicacies like Klang Bak Kut Teh, Penang Laksa, Ipoh Nga Choi Gai (Bean Sprouts Chicken), Petaling
Street Claypot Chicken Rice, KL Wanton Mee, etc.
Opened since 2012, I have always wanted try the food here but was put off by the horrendous crowd each time I was there.
Try to avoid peak hours if you can or at least bring a friend along so one could chope a table while the other queue for the food.
I decided to drop by an hour before the lunch time crowd arrive and there's plenty of seats to choose from.
The interior is renovated to resemble the olden days when hawkers peddle their food in the streets with the stalls designed as push carts. If you have been to
Malaysian Food Street at RWS, you would understand what I am talking about.
Are you a child of the 80s?
Do you remember playing 8-bit games like Tetris, Space Invaders, Pac Man and Donkey Kong?
I recalled spending hours playing in front of the TV via the game console and almost breaking the joystick!
PIXELS is a award winning film directed by Patrick Jean. How many childhood game characters can you spot in this brilliant video?

自2012年11月份爆出罹患血癌，病情就一直反反复复。
据报导，高凌风的助理赵小姐证实该项死讯。
KFC Singapore has just launched a new rice item - the KFC Rice Bucket. That got me real excited because I love chicken rice AND KFC and what better way to combine both!
However, I was taken aback when my order came! For those who are wondering about the size of the bucket, I can assure you that it is huge! The bucket is literally a 饭桶 (rice bucket)!
The KFC Rice Bucket comes in two different flavors: Á La King sauce with mixed veggies and Original Recipe Sauce with mushrooms.
I opt for the latter.

Brothers Rojak
As a former resident of Clementi, I have lost count the number of times that I have walked past this unassuming stall tucked away at a corner of See Lam Hern coffeeshop.
Well, who could blame me when there are lots more choices at the nearby Clementi Central Market & Food Centre?
Till the day my family moved out of the neighborhood, I have not once eaten the rojak here. In fact, I did not even know that there is a rojak stall here!
What a shame isn't it?
I only got to learn about them many years later on the internet which prompted me to return to my old neighborhood to have a try.

I remember I had my very first bowl of Ban Mian from Qiu Lian Ban Mian (秋莲板面) some twenty years ago during my schooling days in the 90s.
Ban Mian is a traditional noodle dish with Hakka origins (some say Hokkien) and it is Qiu Lian who introduces it to the masses in Singapore.
Well, I could be wrong though but I do not recall seeing any other Ban Mian stalls around prior my first bowl at Qiu Lian.

It was only after sometime that other Ban Mian stalls began sprouting all over the island when the dish became popular and gained a foothold in the local food scene.
At that time, the novelty of seeing your noodle being handmade (with the pasta machine) in front of you was something new to me and the chewy texture of the noodles was a refreshing change from the usual mee pok, mee kia, kway teow, etc...

A few months ago, I visited Yilmaz Western intending to try the Hotplate Grilled Chicken Chop but as it was not ready yet, I had the Fish & Chips instead.
I told myself that somehow, I must return for the Hotplate Grilled Chicken Chop and that opportunity came just a couple of days before Christmas when my parents and I happened to be around the vicinity of Ang Mo Kio.
I ordered a Fish & Chips for the folks to try and a Hotplate Grilled Chicken Chop for myself.
As mentioned in the previous post, I am most impressed by the generous portion and the economical pricing.
The Fish & Chips scored rather well with my folks but just how did the Hotplate Grilled Chicken Chop fare?
大家好!
几个星期前，一民热衷于社区服务的阿姨主办了一个到马来西亚，霹雳州的旅游团而我们一家也受邀同游。
日盼夜盼，期待已久的这天终于来临！
我们摸黑起床与各位团友集合后就上了旅游巴士往新柔长堤开去。
一伙人上了旅游巴士就倒头大睡直到抵达了华都牙也 (Batu Gajah) 享用早餐。

有谁晓得这包是什么呢？它只有手掌般大小。
它包的像椰浆饭但里面装的并不是我们熟悉的小鱼干，蛋皮和花生而是几只淋上酱汁的虾仔。
说句实话，我还蛮喜欢这饭配上酱汁的味道。

Hello!
A few weeks earlier, a kind neighbor has undertaken the task to organize a trip to Perak, Malaysia and had invited some of us neighbors to come along.
The big day finally arrived after much anticipation. We woke up in the wee hours of the morning to board a chartered coach which brought us across the causeway.
Everyone spent much of the journey catching up on much deprived sleep until we arrived for breakfast at Batu Gajah.
Mum's breakfast
Does anyone know what this palm-sized packet is called?
It is wrapped like Nasi Lemak but the content is just rice with shrimps and gravy and not the usual ikan bilis, egg and peanuts.

To be honest, the taste of the rice with the sauce is quite nice actually.
I am still finding it hard to believe that a
riot has taken place earlier in Singapore. When I first come across this news on
twitter, I thought it was just part of an anti-riot exercise by the police.
Singapore has been riot-free for the last 44 years so how could it happen now?
Do you know that a new exhibition "Titans of the Past – Dinosaurs and Ice Age Mammals" is here at the Singapore Science Centre?
I don't.
I only found out after a few parent bloggers attended the media invite and blogged about it. In fact, the exhibition started way back in October (that's two months ago) and I wonder why it wasn't publicized then?
I believe I only saw the advertisement on TV in late November. Anyway, I was contemplating whether to go or not to as the price of the admission ticket seem pretty steep.
Well, it does not take a genius to guess that I gave in ultimately as it is not everyday that you can come face to face with a dinosaur!
McDonaldland Characters Plushie
When I was young, I really like the old McDonald's TV commercials featuring McDonaldland and I remember that they used to launch toys with their McDonaldland characters.
Sadly, they do not make such toys or commercials anymore.
Last week, I am elated to learn about the launch of these plushies featuring the old gang and they will be launched on the following dates:

Last month, I boarded Tiger Airways with my parents heading for Hat Yai, Southern Thailand. We touched down at Hat Yai International Airport after a 75 minutes flight from Singapore Changi Airport.
Compared to taking a coach ride setting off from Golden Mile Complex to Southern Thailand via Malaysia, we saved more than twenty hours and alot of backache.
Those who know me might wonder why does my family visit Hat Yai year after year? Isn't it boring?
Hat Yai is not as picturesque as Phuket nor as glamorous as Bangkok. What it have is a very slow pace of life and aged buildings.
However, these are the exact factors which drew my parents to this place as they find the way of life suits them perfectly.
Furthermore, the cost of living is relatively cheaper here and communication is not much of a problem as the Thai Chinese here speaks a little Teochew, Cantonese and Hakka.

After a long wait, the McDonald's Happy Meal Despicable Me 2 Toys will be ready for collection in about a month's time.
Fans who have placed an order for the Minion toys through the deferred fufilment website should be receiving an SMS from McDonald's regarding the collection soon.
上个月，我和两老登上了虎航飞往泰南，合艾。从新加坡樟宜国际机场起航短短75分钟后，我们就抵达了合艾国际机场。
这比起N年前从黄金大厦（Golden Mile Complex）搭乘二十几个小时的长途巴士途经马来西亚再抵达泰南边境而省却了不少的时间与折腾！
认识我的朋友或许会纳闷，我家为何年年都会回到这里度假呢？难道不闷吗？
的确，合艾即没有普吉岛那怡人的景色，也没有曼谷的绚丽繁华。这里有的，只是非常慢的生活节奏和老旧的店屋。
可是，两老偏偏就喜欢这一点，觉得这样的步伐才适合他们。
再来，这里消费便宜，沟通上也没多大的问题因为这里的华侨都会说些潮州，广东或客家话。

八年前，死亡第一次在我眼前真实地发生。
当时，你已病入膏肓有整整一个星期站不起来了。在兽医院时，你突然使劲了力量站起来看了我一眼后，就吐血到卧不起。
兽医给你进行急救，我却只能无助地站到一旁默默的为你祈祷。这一幕就像美国连续剧ER的情节。不同的是，发生在我眼前的事是真实的而并非虚构的。
遗憾的是，经过一番抢救，你仍然是回魂乏术。
兽医取除了口罩对我说：“I'm sorry, he's gone…”
My dog is amazing, I truly adore,
So very cute, walks on all four.
Sometimes he makes a pretty big mess,
When he's around, I never depress.
Runs and jumps, when I come home,
Loves when I pet him, and gently comb.
With my dog, I get to act crazy,
When we watch TV, we get a bit lazy.
He gets excited and begins to bark,
When we are leaving for the park.
My dog is definitely my best friend,
Time with him, I love to spend.

Must rehome quickly!
Please help! After two long years of being on a waiting list for a dog, we have been notified by breed rescue that, at long last, our number has come up and... WE ARE HAVING A PUPPY!
We must get rid of our children IMMEDIATELY because we just know how time consuming our new little puppy is going to be and it just wouldn't be fair to the children. Since our little puppy will be arriving on Monday we MUST place the children up for adoption this weekend!
They are described as:
One male -- his name is Tommy, Caucasian (English/Irish mix), light blonde hair, blue eyes. Four years old. Excellent disposition. He doesn't bite. Temperament tested. Does have problems with peeing directly in the toilet. Has had chicken Pox and is current on all shots. Tonsils have already been removed. Tommy eats everything, is very clean, house trained and gets along well with others. Does not run with scissors and with a little training he should be able to read soon.
One female -- her name is Lexie, Caucasian (English/Irish mix), strawberry blonde hair, green eyes quite freckled. Two years old. Can be surly at times. Non-biter, thumb sucker. Has been temperament tested but needs a little attitude adjusting occasionally. She is current on all shots, tonsils out, and is very healthy and can be affectionate. Gets along well with other little girls and little boys but does not like to share her toys and therefore would do best in a one child household. She is a very quick learner and is currently working on her house training. Shouldn't take long at all.
We really do LOVE our children so much and want to do what's right for them. That is why we contacted a rescue group. But we simply can no longer keep them. Also, we are afraid that they may hurt our new puppy.
I hope you understand that ours is a UNIQUE situation and we have a real emergency here! They MUST be placed into your rescue by Sunday night at the latest or we will be forced to drop them off at the orphanage or along some dark, country road. Our priority now has to be our new puppy.
$10 rehoming fee but price is very negotiable.
PS - If you laughed or understood the seriousness of this posting, please repost it in other areas of the country as well as continue to repost it. It doesn't matter how quickly it was flagged the point is that SOMEONE SOMEWHERE will have read it and thought about it for a minute.

So about a week ago, Glenn Ong from Class 95 was creamed in the face with a pie. It all began with a meaningless bet between him and Joe Augustine.
When I learn about this popular lor mee at Clementi Central, I knew I had to go check it out at Food Loft, a coffeeshop situated along Clementi Avenue 3 near Clementi Town Secondary School.
I ordered the default $3 bowl and when it is served to my table, it came together with the vinegar bottle.
When having this dish, I tend to go over the top with the condiments like garlic and black vinegar because that is how I perceive this dish is to be best enjoyed.
However, there are times when the hawkers' face turned as black as the vinegar when I requested for more.
I am overjoyed that I could add as much vinegar as I wanted here without having the hawker rolling eyes at me!

Kopi Luwak, or Civet Coffee, refers to a kind of brewed coffee that is made from coffee berries which have been eaten, digested and excreted by the Civet Cat.
The enzymes from the digestive tract breaks down the bitterness of the coffee berries and coffee brewed from such berries are said to have a very distinctive flavor.
These cat-like creatures from Indonesia feeds mainly on fruits and berries; including the coffee berries. Their excrement would fall onto the forest floor and farmers will harvest these fermented berries to further process them for human consumption.
Well, there is nothing wrong with drinking Kopi Luwak because in the beginning, the excreted berries were collected from free-roaming civet cats in the wild who not only selects the best berries to eat but have a varied diet as well.
However, due to its increasing popularity and limited availability, the traditional way of collecting these pooped berries can no longer meet the demands of coffee connoisseur around the world.
The farmers now need to produce alot of these coffee berries in the shortest time possible and this give rise to battery farming methods where captured civet cats are forced into tiny cages specifically for this purpose.

A close family friend has an autistic boy and this was an anonymous letter slipped under her door. This is real. pic.twitter.com/VyRb2oqPrG
— Lennon and Maisy (@lennonandmaisy) August 19, 2013
The content of the letter is extremely vile, referring to Max as a "nuisance" and a "wild animal" before suggesting the Begley family to move or "euthanize" the teenager.
I understand it is hard for autistic children to communicate with others and convey their thoughts thus it could be very frustrating for them which may explain their sudden outbursts in public at times.
It is heartbreaking enough to have a child with special needs and I think all this hatred towards the Begley family is uncalled for.
Say "aloo" to the all new McAloo Tikki!
The Allo Tikki (sounds like Hello Kitty!) is a popular street food in Northen India made with potatoes and various spices.
"Aloo" means potato, and the word "tikki" means a small cutlet or croquette.
Sandwiched between two fluffy buns, a delicious patty made with potatoes and peas is fried to crispy perfection then topped with onions, fresh tomatoes and sweet tomato mayo.
This is McDonald's first *meatless burger and it cost just $2 ala carte!

A few weeks ago, my family and I crossed the causeway to Johor Bahru and we decided to go to Shoon Huat Bak Kut Teh at Taman Sentosa for brunch.
It was our second visit to Shoon Huat and just like our previous visit, we had to brace ourselves to walk through an invisible wall of smoke and heat into the shop.
This was due to the cooking being done right at the entrance and the columns of smoke from the charcoal fire has engulfed the interior of the shop. Instead of dispelling the heat, the couple of ceiling fans seemed to make matters worst by distributing the heat all around.
In a nutshell, the place was anything but comfortable to dine at.

Inspired by foongpc's post about his ghostly experience with Penang Hotel, I thought I would share what I had personally encountered in Bangkok.
This happened many years back, when the twelve of us (including four lecturers) from the retail course that I was attending, flew to Bangkok for a field trip.
Upon arrival, the first thing we did was to check into our hotel but due to some miscommunication, the rooms which we had booked earlier were not available.
Fortunately, the frontdesk managed to upgrade us to a suite on a higher floor which provided a splendid bird's eye view of Bangkok's landscape.
Basically, the structure of the hotel was built in a circular shape as shown in the 'cross-section' illustration below.

All it takes is just ONE McDonald's promotion to bring out the worst in humanity.
Remember the wedding series of Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel some 13 years ago in Singapore? It attracted so much attention that CISCO guards were hired to maintain order when ugly human dramas such as fights, quarrels, and queue-jumping became the subject of media coverage.
Seven people were even injured when a glass door at the Boon Keng outlet shattered due to the jostling.
Fast forward back to the recent Fairy Tales Hello Kitty and Despicable Me 2 promotion this year where customers purchase the toys in bulk - causing stocks to be sold-out island-wide within hours. I have no qualms if they had bought it for their own collection but the point is, these people are reselling for profits.
Not only do they deny others from getting the toy, such deplorable and selfish acts only disgraced the reputation of all Singaporeans.

From today till 31 July 2013, customers purchasing Happy Meals in the Despicable Me 2 promotion has the option to donate their meals to the Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS).
This move came after a series of complaints that fans who bought the meals solely for the free Minion toys had thrown away their food which drew a backlash from the online community.
Apparently, this was already happening during the previous Hello Kitty Fairy Tales promotion where customers were seen dumping the food into the bins after getting their toys. There were many pleas on McDonald's facebook page to allow customers who had only wanted the toys but not the food to donate their meals.
These highly-endangered giants should be revered and left in the wild but the biggest threat they faced are the loss of habitat when people cleared large areas of land, forcing them to stray out of the forest into settled areas where they sometimes destroy property, trample crops, and even kill people.
What you are going to see are some videos of elephants going on a rampage.

Officially opened on 27 June 1973, the Singapore Zoo is undisputedly one of the finest zoo around the region.
A distinct feature of the zoo is its open-concept where animals roam freely in the open. Take the Orangutans for example, visitors could observe them in close proximity among the trees via the elevated boardwalk which offers a spectacular 360° aerial view of the surroundings.
Unlike some zoos that keep their animals in concrete cells, the animals' quarters here are landscaped as closely to their natural habitat as possible so they are simulated to put on their natural behaviour as they would in the wild and with some luck, they might just start breeding!
One of the Singapore Zoo's greatest achievement is its successful breeding program for some of their endangered animals. To date, they have bred 40 Orangutans, 13 White Rhinos, 3 Sun Bears, and even a Polar Bear. It is heartening to know that the zoo's efforts towards conservation and preserving wildlife is taking off!
Something Devastating To Share; Golden Retriever And Samoyed Ended Up As Delicacy During Yuling Dog Meat Festival

for forgiveness while dog meat traders watched in amusement
First of all, I am a dog person so don't come argue with me about the plight of chicken and pigs. Call me a hypocrite if you will. I know, pigs are intelligent creatures too but that is not the point of this post so let's just keep it at that.
What I am going to share here is a video of a China program that features about this annual dog meat festival at Yulin, Guangxi. I am appalled to learn that there is actually a festival dedicated to men's best friend although it's for the wrong reason!
Apparently, the locals organised this festival to mark the summer solstice in the southern Guangxi province, where they feasted on dog meat with lychee wine.
