Candy Empire at Vivocity is an eeevil place.
For those of you who know me, I have never been big on sweets and chocolates, unlike the typical girl. But Candy Empire is great fun! Not the cheapest place to get your chocolate fix, but interesting enough as they bring in goodies from overseas, not your everyday Cadbury or Lindt. Mint chocolate Kit Kat, cookies and cream Voodoo, marshmallow spread, dark orange chocolate, makes you feel like a kid all over again.
Apparently, the store was involved in some controversy a few months back. Wheelchair bound folks were banned from entering the store cos' of the many racks and narrow alleys. But the ban has since been lifted cos' there was a public outrage.
Still worth a visit though. I heard there's even a vomit flavoured candy available. Let's try !!!

Life in Singapura
I have been trying to blog for the past few days, given the amount of time I now have at hand.
However, there's really nothing much to blog about, given that there's nothing interesting happening in my life now that I'm back, except spending time with my Baby. Afterall, this is a portal for me to write about things I observe or see.
It did take a bit of getting used to seeing dead people (I mean, Singaporeans) during peak hours, rushing to board MRT trains, then 'stoning' in them. Why are Singaporeans so lifeless? I mean, at least read a book while commuting. But the one thing I can't really complain about is the abundance of trains. Short waiting times, godsend. Hike in transport costs, not.
The highlight of me being back in Singapore was beginning my life in earnest with my Baby. I guess they say, when you are together with the one you love, it doesn't really matter where you guys are. But, we are running out of options as to where to 'pat tor'. Ideas anyone?

Hello Singapura
Hello Singapura.
Honestly the moment I landed on our sunny shores, it did took a little bit of taking used to. Getting used to hearing Singlish, seeing Singaporeans, carpeted floors, ushers leading us to taxis (!) and swift queues. But something that didn't require getting used to was stuffing myself with local food! My baby took me to have laksa, though it wasn't the greatest, but man, shiok leh!
Of course the highlight was seeing the One after almost seven long months. The wait is finally over.
