Called Cars & Coffee, it is basically an informal event where like-minded car lovers come together to have breakfast and mingle around. Of course, the conversation topics usually revolve around cars and... erm more cars.

All in all, it was more than worth it for me to wake up early on a Saturday morning to check out these cars. Even though i woke up late and missed a few cars whose owners had to go off before I arrived, I walked away feeling glad that the car scene in Singapore is still very much alive.

    I have a new favourite game - Dave the Diver!

    Nowadays I think many people have a Nintendo Switch, considering how it is often given away as a free gift when you sign up for credit cards,etc. Instead of just playing Mario Kart, Overcooked and Pokemon, I have another game to introduce to you all! The game is Dave the Diver. This game has completely captivated me with its delightful blend of adventure and relaxation. From the moment I dove into its vibrant underwater world, I was hooked. The gameplay mechanics strike that perfect b

    Big things are funny things

    Being anywhere tangentially close to current affairs news right now is deeply depressing. In so many ways, the world seems like it's going to s*it.  In a bid to escape all that and cheer myself up a little, I've been recently amused and moderately infatuated with randomly huge things. Here are just a couple that make me chuckle:  Yup, the world's largest chair. I also find the name of the company, XXXLutz, incredibly funny and more than a little blue.  Otto the ot
