​A Quiet Visit to the Live Turtle Museum: Finding Comfort in Grief

Live Turtle Museum at 11 Chencharu Close The Gentle Motivation Behind the Visit The Live Turtle Museum reopened at its new location on August 23, 2026. By a heartbreaking coincidence, that very same week, I lost my beloved baby of 26 years . Just a week later, while still deep in grief, I decided to make the trip. Being just a short bus ride from my house in Yishun, it felt close enough to reach out and a touch of familiar comfort. But stepping inside brought a flood of conflicting emotions. I found myself looking at all these gentle creatures living, breathing, and thriving, while my own one and only was gone forever. It sparked a strange, heavy mix of feelings that I hope people can pardon, as grief naturally makes the heart process things in complex ways. Tucked next to HomeTeamNS Khatib and surrounded by the ongoing construction of upcoming BTOs, the site carries a sense that it may not be their permanent home for long. It made me think of how stressful moving from place to place ...

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!
