Exploring Katong: From Iconic Laksa to Vintage Finds (BONUS! POP Bakery)

Date of Visit: 19 September 2026 A weekend date with your partner doesn’t always require an expensive meals, an overpriced plane ticket or an elaborate itinerary. Sometimes, the best trips are right in our own backyard that blends in rich local flavors, a walk down memory lane, and a relaxed afternoon exploring historic neighborhoods. If you're looking for a perfect day trip in Singapore, here is how we spent a meaningful weekend re-exploring the charm, nostalgia, and hidden gems of Katong and Marine Parade. My hubby will be the storyteller for the day. Nostalgic Detour: Roxy Square Address: 50 East Coast Rd Singapore 428769 Nearest MRT: Marine Parade (TEL) We kicked off our day with Roxy Square . Built on the historic site of the old Roxy Theatre, this spot retains a quiet retro charm.

Travelogue | Graduation Trip - Melbourne, Australia

Oh hi! I'm back after a long hiatus. Well... anyway nobody cares to read my blog but then I just drop some photos taken during my recent trip to Melbourne with my friend and her son. Meant to be a graduation trip cos our uni, RMIT is in Melbourne. So let me take you through with a photo story of my favourite. It seems more like a photography trip to me. 90% of the photos are not relating to food. OMG! How well did I fare for my skills now? Any improvement? For me to find out.

We signed up this tour package with Nam Ho Travel and okay, is good. Probably need a change of some places of interest in the itinerary, like opt out the Pannys Amazing, World of Chocolate and Amaze n Things and change to Sea Aquarium (Sealife) probably. A 6D4N is just right for exploring the city.

End of the day, I feel that to make all these shots even better, should get a wide angle lens. But too ex. Anyway, I love this trip cos of the blue sky, green grass patches and most importantly, the brightness of the sunshine. But not too much though as it makes my photos over-exposed. I never did much editing except auto-correct the exposure with Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

Okay. Enjoy!
