no memu

an osvaldo family Italian restaurant at Boon Tay Street.

enter this rich Italian heritage restuarant is akin to entering Osvaldo's home. Inside is a calm oasis of carpeted floor, with wall pictures and keepsakes imported from Piedmont Italy. An almost living gallery of rustic heirlooms have in fact insulted me from the mad crowd and hot afternoon, outside.

lunching from recipes that have been handed down for generations in the Forlino family. Shiok!!!

Audi Centre Singapore

a revolution in progress has launched, in this new iconic Audi Centre Singapore.

Luxury has progressed into a new form. Like the world first sky pool, the  55-storey Marina Bay Sands that encompasses the heights of sophistication, soaring into the skies like majestic waves cascading over the coastal line. Here Audi share the same sentiments.

Renowned world class- leading innovations like MMI Touch, FSI injection system.

Built at a cost of $70 million, it is this island's costliest motor facility by Premium Automobiles, it is officially opened today.

The Gift of Time


It is awesome.

at best this is "Art meets Luxury meets Nostalgia" in a exclusive sensory experience at the historical Tanjong Pagar Railway Station. Another Hermès community arty commitment, this exhibition is the brainchild of American artist Hilton McConnico and it employs humorous and multi dimersional visuals to create a whimsical timeline.


surprised by the long quell forming despite this hot and humid morning and during its last run today.


this exhibit is not about Hermès trying to master Time, but rather it offers Time to understand the ever changing world around us. Here the poetic displays tinted with light humour, a variety of colours and series of sensory discoveries are made.

the Knolls

                                   it was a hurried afternoon drive to The Knolls restuarant.


Tranquility and exclusivity is immediately felt when the moments we entered the long private drive way meanders up to the masterpiece Capella, designed by Foster + Partner Architect.

We are there for the Resturant Week promotional lunch.

Entering Knolls is equally enthralling. Savor the culinary delights with an expansive sea view and over looking the hotel swimming pool, it is indeed a rewarding time with my family.

Hepburn Bed

this is ones extra Scandinavian affairs my wife is extremely jealous.

it is because of my intense fidelity i had with Mattrew Hilton's Hepburn Bed. Not to be mistaken, Mattrew had no any relationship with the infamous Paris Hilton.

Its beautifull solid walnut leg frame extending an elegant Ballerina posture that effortlessly hoists the mattress in the air, is an exceeding beautifull dance piece.

Hot stuffs with artisan craftsmanships.
