Singapore’s Airforce Museum

A military helicopter on display at the Singapore Airforce Museum

Yesterday, we cycled to the Airforce Museum. Actually, we also cycled there on Monday, but this time it was open. We knew it would be closed on Monday, but because the pool we normally swim at has changed its operating times so it’s also shut on Monday (and every Monday) we chose to journey to […]

Truck Tyres: Bigga Badda Boom

Truck Tyres go boom

On Saturday, my Eldest and I went cycling. It was shopping trip for some of his essential supplies. In any case, part of our journey requires us to travel through an area that’s in the process of being developed.

Cycling After the Sunset

While cycling we saw this gorgeous aunset

Family moments are far more ephemeral than we sometimes realise. While childhood stretches on (especially the school years), it barely lasts a couple of decades. To a kid that’s practically forever, but to an adult, it’s a blink of an eye, over way too fast. I mention this because it’s becoming harder to arrange those […]
